| How can i improve the sound of Iphone 11? I intend to go this route for my iPhone 11 PM. iPhone--lightning to USB C--THX AAA Onyx. The Onyx decodes MQA. I'll be using this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09CFZZ8TJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 low cost, Lightning ... | |
| Listening Descriptor Chart This is a great find. Thank you very much for sharing. | |
| OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke? Complete waste of money. But hey, if you have the money to burn, by all means.... | |

| Is your now then? Then: Back in the day when I barely had two cents to rub together, I scratched my hifi itch via hifi rags like stereophile et al. My "virtual" systems favored components from Nad and Adcom. I loved the clean looks and low profile of most of th... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use I went from Marantz receivers to a Peachtree Nova integrated but moved to separates to get more flexibility. The Peachtree served my needs well (for a while) and I recommend it for anyone looking to down size or those with budget restrictions. | |
| Amplification: what are the biggest advances of the last 40 years? Class D for sure. I use avant garde class D in both my systems but I confess to tempering both with tube preamps. | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Up until recently my DAC was the least costly component in all my systems. In quick succession I made several DAC upgrades each costing approximately 2x the previous. Unfortunately, in my specific example the differences were minimal if any. IT ... | |
| Recommendation for amp PS Audio Sprout or Peachtree Nova 150. I used the Peachtree for several years before upgrading to seperates. Highly recommend. Haven't used the Sprout but heard very good things about it. | |
| Best sub for music, My approach with subs has always been "keep it simple". I start with one and place it, walking the tightrope of performance vs permissible location. I throw on some bass heavy tracks and query A) Does it sound good? B) Can I locate the sub? If th... | |
| Best Integrated Amp (for me) Have a look at a Peachtree Audio Nova 150. You should be able to pick one up used within your budget. I drove my LS50s with one for several years, before I upgraded to separates (Purifi based amp, paired with a Schiit tube preamp). | |
| What is the #1 equipment want currently on your HiFi horizon??? I've been toying with the idea of investing in an R2R DAC. Specifically the Denafrips Pontus II. I haven't pulled the trigger because I'm fairly confident it wont be a order of magnitude improvement over my current Gustard X16. I'm keeping and ... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? I use a ICEedge 1200AS2 based amp in my main system and a Purifi Audio 1ET400A amp in my bedroom system. Both are tempered by tube preamps and I have absolutely no complaints. I live in the Caribbean so cool running and power economy (electric... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? Once all my favorite LPS were available on CD I jumped to that medium. Handed down the LPS to my younger brother. Nowadays; I rip my CDs to FLAC and stream via Roon, supplemented by Qobuz . I store multiple copies of my digital collection and give... | |
| Bookshelf/Small Speakers Plus 1 on any iteration of the Kef LS50. Supplement the low end with a micro sub from Kef or SVS (depending on budget). |
