| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers I don't know your amp, but a passive pre can make the sound more detailed and immediate but also a bit sterile sometimes IMO, try to replace the Axiom with the Don Sachs and see what happens. Also, any single piece of cable, connector etc., includ... | |
| Thoughts and perceptions on the sound quality of Accuphase Digital Products I own the Accuphase DP550 SACD player and use it mostly as a DAC for streaming purposes (fed through a little Aurender USB-SPDIF converter). I don't have exposure to a lot of comparatively priced DACs, but I did compare it several times, in my own... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD Here are my experiences regarding pairing Harbeth with Accuphase: - A few years ago I bought a pair of Harbeth 30.2 and I got to hear them in the seller's system comprising an Accuphase DP560 player, Accuphase E270 amplifier, Auditorium cables an... | |
| Aurender integrated streamer/DACs @gsomin : I know those Linn interconnects, I had a pair. Gave them away. I'd recommend that you do the same and buy proper cables, you system deserves much better than those Linn cheapies and trust me, the difference CAN be drastic. IMO, YMMV etc. | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. M40.2 vs. M40.2 Anniversary Edition vs. M40.3XD @audio_bidder : your question is not addressed to me; nevertheless, I’ll try to add my 2 cents. I’ve heard the M40.2 Ann. twice and, more importantly, I’ve owned the smaller M30.2 Anniversary for about an year. The tweeter is not at all fatiguing ... | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. M40.2 vs. M40.2 Anniversary Edition vs. M40.3XD Ha! Every iteration! @jjss49 , you are a treasure of knowledge on these forums! After your recent thread listing your highly impressive number or past and present dacs it only comes natural that you've had (not just heard, but actually owned!) eve... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? Adding my voice to the chorus: 1. the in-room performance is very important; I'd not buy without a home audition (or the possibility to reverse the deal within the first, say, 24 hours); 2. I had the ADI dac and I returned it. It was... decent. ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I'm only reading good things about the Joseph Audio speakers. @prof loves them, you recommend them after reading about my tastes and expectations... I'm sure the Perspective 2's would be awesome. I'd be a bit wary of the reduction of body / densit... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Right! Good point, thank you. Being based in Europe, the second hand market for Devore speakers is rather scarce (and prices for American gear are quite high), but yes, this would be the plan. I forgot to answer prof's question. What do I want fr... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Thank you both, you're very helpful! @metaldetektor : Graham is interesting, I've seriously considered them for a while, but I'm wary about their use of mineral wool inside the speakers. I'm afraid it could pose a health hazard in the form of sma... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Sure, no problem at all! Thank you in advance! | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @prof: Your last post made me re-read, admittedly skipping a bit of content every now and then, the whole thread again! I did and still do enjoy your posts a lot and I find them very informative not only because of the excellent insight they provi... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? Hi everybody! I'm also contemplating high passing (some of) my speakers. Regarding the capacitor advice of @erik_squires: would it be possible to add it directly before the speakers? Of course, a different value would be needed. Sorry if this is s... | |
