| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? Don't know what these knockoffs you're talking about, but I've owned and used Chinese designed and made gear like Line Magnetic and Denafrips, they were all superb. | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 @dsper Unless you want your dac quest into having to rebuild your entire system, maybe best to stick to choices that will work well with your existing components that you already own and like. Also every dealer and manufacture will claim their pro... | |
| Searching for an amp to pair with Rockport Atria II Boulder amplification goes extremely well with Rockport, Nagra as well. | |
| Spendor D9.2 vs Proac D48r The Spendor classic series is too warm, mushy and slow for me. The D series hits the sweet spot in speed and transparency with mid-range timbre and sweetness. | |
| Does the Rogue Cronus Magnum III have any real competition in its same price point of $3k? Line Magnetic integrated amps are pretty hard to beat in that price segment | |
| Spendor D9.2 vs Proac D48r I listened to the Proac D30rs and Spendor D7.2 almost back to back, and preferred the Spendor, Proac sounded slower and not as extended by comparison. Spendor D series has the sparkle while maintaining the Spendor midrange magic | |
| Tekton Design Speakers Price Increase Wow, people who have already bought their speakers saying price increase for future buyers is a good thing, what an ugly, sad mentality. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling All really interesting ideas gents. @grannyring When you say double is always better, have you tested that idea on digital cables with the same results? Steve, I'm using only Mundorf silver gold barewire, have you seen those oxidize like copper? G... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? @arafiq You are the one drawing the false equivalence. No one is getting up in arms when a piece of equipment is criticized for its own merits, but people like you and others in this thread insist on grouping all products from a country and an eth... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 @cantoegale Thanks for the update and your impressions. I'm considering new speakers and this was really helpful. What electronics were they each driven by? From your description, is it safe to say the Rockport did tone and timbre better than the ... | |
| Aries Cerat Helena or Mola Mola Tambaqui? Congrats on your new dac, what dac did you upgrade from? | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? @thyname, thank you for being true to who you are and having the decency to broadcast your racist roots. It makes it much easier for the rest of us to know how to treat you. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka Thanks to your post that sparked my curiosity, I tried my spare helix interconnect using Mundorf single run barewire in cotton and absolute harmony as Spidif cable between my streamer and DAC ($4.5k each), and it performed great. In f... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, it will be a balanced XLR connector | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Thanks @grannyring and @williewonka, it helps a ton, I will repurpose my cotton and bare wire. Do you know if it's possible to make an AES EBU cable? I know it needs to be 110ohm and have special shielding requirements. |
