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... | |
When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? @kokakolia , I, for one, won’t be buying anything from some guy tinkering with a piece in his garage (no-name Joe companies) with non-existent service in a couple of years. I would put it in the same category as Chifi though Chifi, at the least, i... | |
Magico's M9 @mikelavigne , The emotional envelopment is effortless with my TAD+Luxman or Yamaha gear. It is a bit less with the Technics. But, i primarily bought the Technics as a hot summer solution (some compromise for mitigation of constant air conditioner... | |
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update @jaytor , thanks for clarifying. | |
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Maybe i missed it, is it possible currently to revert to the original firmware if needed? ( I have been sitting on the fence w.r.t the Venus update.) | |
Magico's M9 @mikelavigne , i heard it at hayward. I've owned a couple of the older Magicos. After a certain price point, many speaker brands converge to a threshold for resolution, detail, slam, visceral bass impact, imaging, etc, whatever...But, Magico has n... | |
Magico's M9 @mikelavigne , what "performance" are you hoping to hear? Put it in words. On the same note, i have heard this speaker. Did i hear anything otherworldy that any ol' Scweikert, Borresen, etc didn't do? No. But, if you heard anything wild w.r.t "p... | |
Magico's M9 @jim204 I certainly DO NOT wish i can afford this eye sore. I know they are selling diddly on this model in spite of all the ferocious marketing. Alon needs to admit he effed up making a speaker look like a overpriced giant whale phallus and move... |
