DCS DACs vs each other
OK thanks for the info I did a little research and ordered a Pure 2.  If this works out I'll have saved a bundle.  Thanks for the advice 
dCS Rossini Owners - sonic differences with and without the clock
I bought a Rossini and clock together.  I first only hooked up the DAC and was floored by the sound so much that I just didn't even bother with the clock and figured I'd get accustomed and then the clock would be a nice upgrade later.  I went from... 
DCS DACs vs each other
Antelope looks really interesting.  I had a Grace 905 which is a similar type idea as the Antelope.  Never heard Antelope.  The Rossini was leaps and bounds better than the Grace 905.  I like the price of the 384 and also the AD features are reall... 
ARE DCS Dacs worth the high cost?
About a year ago I took a leap and bought the DCS Rossini and clock after reading many many reviews and thinking long and hard.  My first evening listening all I could think is guys have no idea what they are missing.  I've tried many sub 10K DACs... 
Anyone had a Sony PS-2251 turntable
would this table and a share sme 3009 tonearm be a good buy in this day and age or is a person better off with a newer design that is in the 1000 range?  
LS50 Wireless fail, or is old gear that good?
Kef LS50W is practically worthless without an outboard streamer such as the Bluesound node 2i.  Constantly dropping out via their own wifi.  Dynaudio Xeo is a great comparison to the LS50W and surprising they don't get talked about more.  I like t... 
What to buy?
If you aren't the tweaky audiophile type who values space and imaging above all you might look at Klipsch.  They are really fun speakers and can dig out something good with even the junkiest of recordings.  I have the Forte III and in many ways en... 
Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised
to follow up again.  I finally lugged my Kef Blade 2s back into the system.  I can't warm back up them.  Life in music is missing.  Maybe speakers like the Blade 2s are meant to play the finest recordings only?  They are much more refined and imag... 
MSB vs dCS Bartok
I'm curious what the rest of the system is you are using?  
Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised
Ok i wanted to follow up.  I got some Kef LS 50 to replace the Forte III in my garage and they seem a better fit out there.  The room is fairly lively so the more mellow LS50 is a better match possibly. I decided to lug the Forte III into my main ... 
Beware of NAD M3 Fire Hazard
I had an Innersound amp completely melt down.  Luckily it was in a pretty heavy chassis so the fire stayed inside and didn't burn my house down.  Innersound was out of business so no recourse but on something like that NAD should just get you set ... 
Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised
I've had the Forte iiis for a few weeks now. So far no bueno.  I'd have to say I don't like them that much.  I am feeding a Chord Quetest DAC spdif from a Bluesound node 2i streamer using Roon.  This runs into a Creek Destiny Amp.  Speaker cables ... 
Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised
I'm going to power them with a Creek Destiny 2 integrated amp.  120 watts per channel.  Seems like that might be a good match, it's a warmish sounding solid state amp.   
New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps?
Enjoy the new amps until the honeymoon has worn off then by that time you can actually get your hands on the new corvette.  Sell the amps and get the C8.  
Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised
Hey guys hoping to revive the conversation.  I am thinking of a set of Forte IIIs or even IIs (not sure how much difference there is between the two?) for my garage/gym.  It's not a sit down and listen kind of thing and I've had and have lots of o...
