| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's @plb02 what did you decide on? Thanks! | |
| LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U I had the 509X, and it is stunning, best integrated i’ve ever heard by a wide margin; The 509X does not have the C-900U preamp. It might have a few bits here and there, but make no mistake, it is NOT a C900u; that being said the 509X is amazing a... | |

| Pass Labs XA30.8 Dear Auditory,Yes I mean the Bryston 4B Cubed (4B3). Bryston stopped using the SST naming convention after SST2 (squared).Btw, just a tip: perhaps you ought to check your frequent posts for grammatical completeness and accuracy. It may help in you... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 The XA30.8 will totally have enough power to perform to your stated goals and then some. I used an XA30.5 on my Dynaudio Contour 60’s and was absolutely floored by how awesome it sounded; Drove them to perceived distortion free levels beyond which... | |
| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius Aww, Very sad. I have had a few discussions with Roy over the years. Best customer service I have ever experienced in this field. He took the time to detail out the smallest things, that end up being the big things. Late last year I got 2 of his l... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! interesting results; I wonder if the TOSLINK connection has something to do with it (ground loops, etc); i recall a similar result when I connected my Mac Mini via its combo toslink/audio port to my USB DAC; the optical input sounded much better t... | |
| what is it in audio that you dislike most? 1. great songs/albums ruined by hideous production recordings that get worse with "better" systems. Some are mixed SO poorly that I often hope those responsible have been sacked2. resale 3. placing excessive emphasis on digital playback hardware d... | |
| PS Audio Directstream Junior Owner - Still beneficial to buy a separate server/streamer? @rbstehno did you / do you experience any low level ticks/pops when streaming DSD from Roon to Bridge II? I do. It's very subtle but DEF there. Snowmass version: 3.0.5Bridge version: 3.6.17Roon Core PC --> Netgear Gige unmanaged switch --> 3... | |
| PS Audio Directstream Junior Owner - Still beneficial to buy a separate server/streamer? @rbstehno i am discovering similar thing that you have and have been on sort of same path. Do you have any DSD files you stream via Roon to your DSD/BridgeII?Thanks | |
| Want a new amp but what to get? I had those exact speakers for two months. I used a Primaluna HP Dialogue premium. That was plenty of power; the 948 are surprisingly easy to drive. The sound was effortless. I currently have Dynaudio contour 60's which really benefit from the p... | |
| Dumped the rack I see this is mainly a thread about reducing bad vibes in TT setups, but does same thing apply to all components? I have a pretty heavy amp, that has rubber feet bolted to the amp chassis; The amp is about 105 pounds and is currently on an amp sta... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong I recently auditioned Bel Canto Ref600 M's for a good bit of time in my system and was super impressed. These are wonderful amps that compete with any amps under $10K regardless of topology;My speakers are Dynaudio Contour 60's; Amps in my rig ove... | |
| can you add tone controls to a primaluna HP integrated amp Ah yes it was only a matter of time before "tone shaming" emerges.That's almost as much fun as "what the artist intended" mumbo jumbo.Have FUN with your system, above all. | |
| can you add tone controls to a primaluna HP integrated amp Use Roon and its incredible DSP features. You are missing out if you continue to suffer poor tonally balanced recordings. Roon has given crappy recordings brand new life.Do not cycle hardware components trying to tune for a certain tone. I have a ... |
