| Had anyone listened to Ken Fritz's system in person? To answer your specific questions, I guess no one on this thread actually listened to Ken's system. For those who have not heard of his story, the links to the video (from his son's post) are fascinating. | |
| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION Forgive me if you've already have enough information and you may be aware of this new DAC with streamer. I know nothing other than the information provided. Perhaps other members know more. MATRIX MINI-I 4 ES9039Q2M Music Streamer $649.00 https:/... | |
| Aidiogon is Da Bomb! Dear @kota1 Welcome. And I hope you can retain your positive outlook in this forum. Some know everything and are more than willing to "share." Others enjoy audio, learning and helping. I pray you find more of the latter. Not quite jaded, DrEas | |
| Why are speaker stands so expensive?! Lots of good answer so forgive me adding one more. I had a set of these and they are very sturdy, easy to assemble. The one point - and forgive me if others have already pointed out - you can also experiment with inexpensive pads/material between ... | |
| Upgrade to McIntosh @wolfgangamadeusaudiophiliac Admittedly it is hard to answer your question re. the Revel F328Be (I initially owned the F228Be but after about a year, upgraded to the F328Be). I have a smallish room 13’ x 13’, well treated with panels, diffusers, ... | |
| Upgrade to McIntosh I don’t think you can go wrong. 1. Room size - take into consideration. Could the C8 + MC275 maybe be more than you need? 2. I have not heard your Sonus bookshelf speakers but do they need that much (C8 + MC275) to drive them? 3. I have the McI... | |
| Analyzing DACs Confusion is a part of audio unless you are pretentious enough to think you know all the answers as some in these forum posts are prone to pontificate🤣 I HIGHLY recommend, before you attempt to digest many of these opinions, purchase and read "Th... | |
| A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey FYI, Hans recently reviewed the a new Bluesound Powernode, Edge. | |
| Tube or solid state Yes. I ended up with McIntosh's MA352 to "solve" this dilemma. Never looked back. | |
| UPS. Friend Or Foe? I've had mixed results with UPS. The one time I had a major shipment - including the maximum insurance - they damaged several boxes and lost 6. After 18 months of hassle, even securing 3rd party help, I gave up. They had no intention of honoring i... | |
| Best Speaker for a reflective room ? With the WAF and other constraints, sounds like a few sets of headphones and headphone DACs and Amps are in order. 😁 | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? Lots of good comments already. Before I'd shell out serious money for any cables, depending on length, less than $200 or so, order some custom length Blue Jeans cables. www.bluejeanscable.com In my own A-B testing with high quality rolls of 12... | |
| diffuser or absorption panels, which would you choose? Check around your area to see if you can find a local builder. I found a guy via FaceBook (which I never use for such things) and he built panels and bass traps for a fraction of the cost of some of the ones you'll see offered. Granted, there's no... | |
| DAC recommendations Forgive me if someone has already noted the Arcam ST60. It is far less expensive at $1650.00 but would be interested if any owners weigh in. Hans Beekhuyzen has an extensive review. I have the NAD C658 and have been considering getting the Arcam. ... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now I'm not in the market for such. The thread on this post is further evidence that of lack of decorum, lack of knowledge, and an overall bad form on the idea of Audiogon's Forum. 1. Posts w/o knowledge making comments. 2. Simply look at the image... |
