| seeking advise please on my short list for new speakers? (15k budget) Assuming you have some higher end amplification, the Yamaha NS-5000 excels in all your mentioned criteria for listening and is priced right around 15k https://hifiheaven.net/shop/Yamaha-NS-5000PNST-3-Way-Bookshelf-Speakers-with-Stands?search=Ns-... | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! Since all speakers at all price points have pros and cons (easily realized when one has an eclectic taste in music), it helps to own a few different types of speakers. That being said, Salon 2 is kickass. | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? Focus on fully treating your room once you get to the Wilson level dude. If wife won't let you ( i.e., u don't have a dedicated room), just quit buying sht. Buying things of a certain caliber without a fully treated room is the silliest thing tha... | |
| Do I really Need a Digital to Digital Converter? I have a high resolution room+speakers+amps. I use the Denafrips Hermes DDC+Venus combo. I don’t miss the Hermes all that much if l pull it out. On the other hand, i definitely miss the BACCH processor if I pull it out!! "Spend in the right pl... | |
| Streamer+R2R dac+True balanced Class A preamp all-in-one? @auroravengeance , thanks for the suggestion on the Teac as well! | |
| The best looking speakers Kharma speakers look very good at shows...not the greatest sound, but, aesthetically stunning. | |
| Streamer+R2R dac+True balanced Class A preamp all-in-one? @auroravengeance , Hmm..maybe i should relax the R2R constraint and try out the Esoteric (they don't seem to mess around with build quality). On the same note, it appears to be its very own unique architecture. https://www.esoteric.jp/en/technolo... | |
| Cable elevators @salectric If it feels like risers are making that much of a perceivable difference ( leaning out bass, glare in the treble, etc?!), there’s other sht messed up in your rig/affecting consistency. | |
| Streamer+R2R dac+True balanced Class A preamp all-in-one? @jetter yeah, I think I might pull the trigger on this Gustard. I like the British audiophile's reviews (His description of sound signatures lines up with what I've heard on stuff i trialed). If it sounds better than my current denafrips Hermes/V... | |
| Best place to live for good quality power This has little to do with what town or city you live in. Living in a congested apartment complex in any town or city is pretty much a dead end. But, a stand-alone house with 2 dedicated lines installed (one for digital components and the other f... | |
| Streamer+R2R dac+True balanced Class A preamp all-in-one? @soix Lol, I asked you why 8350 extra wouldn't be feasible enough to throw in a better line stage. But, since your logic faltered there, you started the barking instead You thought barking your way out would buy you all your immense street cred b... | |
| Schiit URD CD Transport SOON? The Schii tUrd could arrive early in the morning tomorrow (maybe a lot earlier than that with Miralax 😁).....these goofballs and their product names... | |
| Streamer+R2R dac+True balanced Class A preamp all-in-one? @soix This manufacturer called Gustard (that you suggested) has gotten 2/3rds of the way there with the integrated streamer+ R2R dac for 1650 USD (8350 under budget). But, all of a sudden, integrating a higher quality class A preamp into that uni... | |
| Streamer+R2R dac+True balanced Class A preamp all-in-one? @rockrider Non-digital inputs not needed (turntable is sitting in storage)...Not sure what this "Ring dac' is and will need to read up a bit. Eitherway, I need such a piece to add more class A-ish liquidyy gooey lushness to atleast one of my exis... | |
| Streamer+R2R dac+True balanced Class A preamp all-in-one? @designsfx thanks for the suggestion on the Bricasti. I don’t feel like pushing it past 10k for now, but, will look to try/ land something used. @soix , looks like there are some rave reviews on the gustard’s (what a bizarre name) streamer+r2r da... |
