| Best bookshelf speaker? I’m absolutely LOVING my Fritz Carbon 7 SE MK 2 driven by Firstwatt F7. It’s the most enjoyable system I’ve ever put together. | |
| SET amps I'm interested too. | |
| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? Speakers... All day.DAC technology fools/tricks people into believing the more number crunching going on results in better sound. Don't drink the mainstream Kool-Aid.Speakers first... And if you get efficient enough speakers, then that opens the d... | |
| Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience. I've been considering pulling the trigger on the IV's and going back to SET. Will use my headphone amp as a preamp...a Pass HPA-1. Never even HEARD a pair of Heresy speakers, just know I want SET into a high efficiency speaker. Does anyone know if... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg Ughhh...A person may physically leave this life but the impact they made on others never goes away. I've always enjoyed reading his very informative posts and the knowledge that he gave to the community was truly a blessed thing. We are all better... | |
| What amp to match with Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire open back speakers I had the M3 Turbo S for a long while and if I didn’t have to fund a purchase unrelated to audio they never would have left.

| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE @gte357s @mitch2 Yes, the Yamamoto uses the older and now out of production, (I believe), 1794 chip but hey, natural is natural. If you can't find one, consider an MHDT Orchid.I have not heard an Adagio or Pavane so I can't comment on them. Cee's... | |
| Focal Headphone Repairs? For a company to have the technology available to them and brag about it, for Focal, this is absolutely inexcusable. Not to mention the fact that you have to ship it to France on your own dime? Forget it. I'm glad I sold my Clears when I did. | |
| SOS: Andy Bowman - Vintage Tube Services 👍 | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE Metrum isn't bad. I've had six over the years.They're not bad to hold you over until...Keep your radar on for a used Yamamoto YDA 01. If you can ever find one, jump on it ASAP.EASILY more natural, wide, deep and just plain real sounding than any o... | |
| Quicksilver Headphone Amp @oddiofyl 3.5 watts? Into how many ohms? That's more than I expected... Nice. | |
| ???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End??? @freediver for my personal taste, I don’t find Sabre chips to be as natural-sounding as say Burr-Brown or other R2R DACs. I don’t listen to hi-rez and the times I did, I kind of felt the same way. Metrum DACs I’ve owned:NOS miniMusetteMenuetHexAme... | |
| ???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End??? Oh, and built like a tank. |
