| Happiness is... Happiness was getting my BUCHARDT E50’s after a 4 month wait! | |
| Denafrips Pontus 15th, Pass Labs INT-60, and Wilson Sabrinas The 7 gauge world best cables are excellent for the price. They will let you hear all your system can do, without any coloration. I have a set of cardas clear reflection and many times depending on which of my 12 pairs of speakers I use, I prefer ... | |
| Test @rvpiano The N200 is a fabulous sounding streamer, as you know. I was very happy with mine after trying about 5 different ones. The N20 is weightier and slightly warmer. I prefer warm over neutral or bright. There is not a night a day difference... | |
| Finally! I Made An Informed Choice Interesting read on your journey. I’ve had many exhausting ones myself. When I was trying to find a cd players, it took 25 of them before I found the one that sounded right to my ears and that was the Meridian 508.24. Went through 5 streamers befo... | |
| What does your DAC sound like @brbrock i use Nos mainly. Occasionally I use the over sampling filters. The Terminator is an excellent dac and at the price point is system matching and preference. | |
| Finally heard Accuphase I went to the last Washington audio show and the Accuphase amps I heard did not sound to me. They were just OK. Now I own 6 integrated, one being an Accuphase 380. In my system it sound very neutral with a hint of warmth in the midrange. It just s... | |
| LTA Aero verses Holo May KTE I own the Holo May Kte. Connected to my Aurender N20 there is no delay. However switching inputs to my cd player,there is a short delay until the dac locks. After it locks,there is no more delay. For me,it’s a non issue. Sound wise there is nothin... | |
| Integrated amp for tube lover I own a Krell k 300 and it shocking sounds like tubes. My Pass 250, and Hegel 390. i have 3 other intergrated, and the Krell was the last one I’ve purchased. It is shockingly good. So,enow the Krell is warm but has very good detail, retrival. Of ... | |
| What does your DAC sound like My experience is for not much money the Denafrips Pontus ll is a very good sounding dac. In fact I purchased the top terminator model and preferred the sound of the Pontus. However the Holo May Kte is what stopped my search. If you don’t care abo... | |
| Test @rvpiano Happy to hear your audio journey going well. I had tried many streamers too. Tried all, the Eversolo models, up to the A8. Tried the Hi Rose 130 Transport and really wanted to like it. I did not like the way that streamer rendered trebl... | |
| New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport I also purchased a Hi Rose 130 to do local playback. I had trouble working wth the software, and the unit did not sound as good as streaming local from my Mac air. Bought an Aurunder N20 and all was good. | |
| McIntosh MA352 replacement I have the Mac 353 which might be out of your price range. I put in some PSVANE Horizon tubes and I concluded these are the tubes that should have come with the amp. Tried gold lion and they were not as good. The Psvane and better bass and clari... | |
| Need New amp or integrated...have some options I would recommend Hegel. I have 5 integrateds.Krell K300, Accuphase 380, Hegel 390, electrocompaniet eci 6,Macintosh 352, Pass 250. The HEGAL has characteristics of all of them. It’s a superb sounding amp for the money. No risk with this intergrat... | |
| Integrated that blew you away @blackbag20 Just picked up a Krell k300i and this integrated is some of the best I heard, at a reasonable price. Using it with a Pair of PS audio FR 5’s. The grip from this amp is iron fist. Even at very low volume very dynamic and smooth. | |
| ~$3-5k speakers for moderate volume listening: Spendor A4, Fyne 501SP, Focal Aria X no. 2? @zander024 My Hegel 390 is very good match for the E50. Now that I have put some time on them, it’s one fabulous speaker. The best articulate bass I’ve heard from a bookshelf. |
