| Sutherland Duo overkill? That's awesome! Enjoy the comparison time, and I'd love to hear your impressions once you've had a little time with both units. | |
| Sutherland Duo overkill? Totally agree, I don't think it's overkill at all. Seems right in line with your gear, and I think gives you some room to grow in the cartridge area if you ever wanted to. Seems like the right gear to update at the right time. | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker Totally agree, hard to define boutique. Personally I'm a big fan of Rosso Fiorentino. Certainly not well known, but I don't know if it's considered boutique either. And to an extent would could say anything ultra high end (say Rockport) is boutiqu... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Fiona AppleSt. VincentBillie Eilish So many more, but those are the ones I'm actually playing the most often. | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! It all comes down to whether the Magico is superior or not. Go enjoy your cheap speakers and your measurement charts. No one is forcing you to listen to, or even consider Magicos, or any other speaker. You seem to have found your personal holy gra... | |
| Dallas (Fort Worth) Audiophile Club - we meet every month or every other month I'll give another vote for Vu with Hi-End Theater and Audio. He has Solid Steel and I think he carries Salamander as well. Side note for everyone else, they are moving into a new facility that looks like it's going to be really cool! They have one... | |
| Streamer v DAC - which is more important? As a broad generalization, I think the DAC is more important, however it all depends on a lot of factors. For example, does your streamer output/passthrough the file type you're wanting to listen to? If you want MQA or maybe some other file type, ... | |
| original cambridge cxc cd transport I just got a CXC this weekend. I've only spun a few discs, but I'm extremely happy with it so far. Mine is currently paired with my CXN, but I expect the CXC to stay with me through a future DAC and streamer upgrade. When looking for a device that... | |
| Tidal $5 for 5 Mo. Offer? I did their 4 months for $20 offered earlier in Nov. The only "catch" I've seen so far is that it will auto-renew if I don't cancel, and they charge the full $20 up front. I've enjoyed the demo period. I figured once the trial is over I'll cancel ... | |
| Hana SL or ML? I'm interested to see what others say as well. I would imagine the design upgrades of the ML are more than enough to impact the sound, but it would be interesting to hear from anyone with real world experience. | |
| $30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous? I don't think it's way out of line. It sounds less ridiculous when you say that it's a $30K DAC in a $95-100K system, which is what the full system would be once it's in correct?When I go for upgrades, I generally try to identify the weakest link,... | |
| Primaluna DiaLogue HP Integrated Vs Line Magnetic 845ai You are kind of comparing amps in two different price classes right? Isn’t the LM 845ia notably more expensive?Either way, I would see if you can find local dealers to look at and listen to both in person. If I had to go in blind, I’d go with the ... | |
| Stereo tube amplifier recommendation with Bricasti M12 and Devore O/96 I would look into some higher end SET/SEP tube amps. Those speakers were made with tube amps in mind. Maybe narrow the budget down first. If the sky is the limit, I’d be interested in trying the Modwright Ambrose A30 Tube Monoblocks. Others to con... | |
| Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio: I have a serious question on this topic: Does your internet provider matter, as far a the quality of sound. I am not claiming it does not exist, but I am skeptical, because I have never heard streamed music sound as good as a good CD on my syste... | |
| Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio: I'll throw in another vote for the Cambridge CXN V2. I've had mine for a few months now and I love it. I selected it over the Node2i for a few reasons. I like that it serves as a digital hub. I can run a CD transport into it, stream Tidal and Spot... |
