| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? The only guy i know who has perfected coaxial designs is Andrew Jones. Try one of his higher end coaxial designs (TAD, Mofi, etc). Many other coaxial designs i've tried (Tannoy, KEF. etc) sound like sht. | |
| Magico's M9 They look ugly...which is the final nail in the coffin for this speaker...If it looked better, i know guys who would buy it. | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? TAD | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch @mc1969 , the best ethernet cables I've had are made by Audioquest. | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. @skinzy For subwoofers of this caliber, you could probably research some higher end bass management solution and take the subs higher up between 150 to 200 hz. If you have them both on the front stage near the Wilsons and depending on your room, ... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium When it sounds like flapping cheeks and is priced an arm and a leg, it generally tends to be one of those snob brands with prestige seeking fanboys ( dudes with relatively lower inner core self-worth in 'compensation mode'). But, when it actually... | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC uninformed and far too simplistic dac conversion method is but one of several equally important elements driving a dac’s sonic performance Uninformed and far too simplistic, eh? Try fooling someone else...For his 3.5k to 5k budget for that ’an... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? I recently listened to a $69k DAC is a Boulder system and everything sounded glorious! But did the DAC sound $67k better than my Pontus ll? Well... put your Pontus in that Boulder system, listen to each dac for a week and let us know! | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui If I were you, i would just continue improving the sound of the yggdrasil with power conditioning, dedicated power line, better cables, upstream components (DDC, streamer), better ethernet infrastructure, etc. When you do that and lay a solid fo... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? There are Denafrips and other R2R dacs (5k and below) that seem to sound superior to relatively older 20k+ Dacs i’ve heard. Having said that, the ASR descendants of imbeciles who claim that any dac is only as good as the realtek dac in their PCs ... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? @thyname "But I have to say: whoever says a cheap box store $50 pair of speakers sounds just like a $50,000 pair of speakers, or some cheap headphones for 50 years ago… I want to have what you are smoking." Since this thread is about midfi or h... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? HIFI-ish and Midfi-ish speakers can be found at almost any price bracket. However, Klipsch heritage speakers have enough design flaws that they can't be considered hifi in comparison to other speakers in similar price brackets. | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC This thread largely reads like an assortment of dac advertisements put together. The higher end dac sales must be struggling these days, eh dealers? Lol OP, get any decent R2R or multibit dac and skip delta sigma. That constraint alone will wee... | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch @tonywinga , I would recommend decoupling/isolation with a pair of fiber media converters (FMCs/SFP transceivers) and a fiber patch cable in between. Use a low noise lps or similar for the decoupled FMC. Thereafter, use a good ethernet cable from ... | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? If cost is a constraint, i would go with the competence level of the speaker engineer. It takes very competent engineering to offer something good at affordable prices. On the other hand, it is much easier to make expensive speakers that sound goo... |
