Modern Covers of Classics
@jc4659  amazing recommendation. thank you. @ezwind +2 on Cat Power Sings Dylan. Have it on vinyl. It could, just could be one of those where the covers give a very close run to the originals...  
Borresen Loudspeakers
I listened to the X1 with the Forte 1 in Dubai last weekend. Very good. For the size they are, they do surprise you. For the folks on this thread who have bought the X1- are you still enjoying them? Additionally, has one had an opportunity to lis... 
Modern Covers of Classics
I started looking at covers recently. Created two playlists. One with covers only- multiple for a song. And one, where each original is followed by one cover- the one in my view is the best (for me). Both of them might not have the modern covers a... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
@teajay, really enjoy reading your posts. I am relatively new to this- only about a year. And the first post of yours which influenced me was the one on Coda S5.5. I really wish I could buy it- but here in Dubai, where I am based- not possible. Wa... 
Close, but no cigar ...
I would put Audio Note on this list for sure. I auditioned the Cobra integrated at home- the grip and tightness blew me away. One day will get to it. Mac keep on thinking about it- but find it a bit bulky for my space. Another one I have and love ... 
What’s your opinion about Dali speakers?
My first speakers when I got into HiFi were Dalis- Spektor 6. Not cheap and not expensive for sure- around $1k. They weee paired with a Vincent SV200 and a Blusound Node N130. Now they are connected to my TV via an old Pioneer amp - in stereo and ... 
Upgrading to a stand alone DAC
@helomech and @kingbr interesting to read your recommendation. I have the Eversolo A6 (regular) and got a Topping D70 Octo Pro. I couldn’t figure out if the sound improved or changed for that matter but I do really like the functionality of the To... 
Qualio IQ owners, still happy?
@ozzy62 can I ask how much did you get them used for? also which country are you based in? I am in Dubai- trying to find them- used is going to be tough but still looking... regards Manu  
Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier
Love the thread. I have an Audio Note P2SE from 1997 which I really like. But what really drove me wild is the Audio Note Cobra- just amazing sound. Tight. If you have an Audio Note dealership in your area, they will drop one home for you to liste... 
Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k
Got to this post now. Almost a year after it started. Have been looking for a tube amp for some time. Recently purchased a Audio Note P2SE, love it. Old- 1997- surprising works super well. I didn't know I was buying a 1997 one - and am glad I did... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
I use Tidal and Spotify. I used Qobuz on a trial that finished yesterday. I didn't renew it. My accompanying system is Blusound Node streamer with a Gato Audio AMP150 AE and Gato Audio FM15 bookshelf speaker. You can play high res from your Tidal... 
Need a new Class AB SS integrated...$2-3k due to hurricane
In Class D I recommend the PeachTree Nova 300. I got them recently and they power these not so well known speakers Volent 3.5 Paragon easily. It has a remote and also a built in MM phono stage if that matters.   in Class A/B would recommend the ...
