| Upgrading from Primaluna I have Sopra 2 running off BHK 250. I had a Krell KAV2250. Both are rated for 250x2 but believe it or not the PS Audio has way more power and slam for big hits. I bought used for 4000. Have not tried rolling tubes yet for sound changes but looking... | |
| OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name OCD Mikey, I may have only been on this site for a few months, been on others since 1999. Check out avsforum and many others. Some even been shut down for years as Youtube has become the new norm. Which is ok, everyone has their own opinion. I... | |
| OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name Flaconquest and markmuse I would not agree that he knows his stuff. He knows what he wants to know and bashes everything else without really knowing the full story. He did not know the difference between a music server and a streamer. He even sa... | |
| OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name He is really annoying person to listen to. He basically says anything he does not like is horse crap corporate greedy people. Yeah corporations are super greedy. Stop begging for subscribers then. What are you greedy too? He bashed roon because... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? ASR is a joke. Measurements are the start of evaluation not the only thing. His frequency response measurements are just stupid. A 100hz in a sweep is just one tone. Does one instrument at 100hz sound the same as another? So how can you say the ... | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile They do not have enough categories (ABCD) to get a ranking. Its an A recommendation, not a ranking. | |
| PS Audio PowerPlant 12 Review (AC Regenerator) My issue with this review and many other of his on ASR is it’s always about noise. That’s just one aspect of things. This unit is advertised to keep as close to perfect wave for power. Feed it some junk and see what comes out. Also burst some har... | |
| NAS/Streamer or server/player? Get a synology NAS and a Sonore or Lumin U1. Keep it simple. Both will be a great roon streamer and the NAS should be RAID. Way under your budget you listed. | |
| Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade I think it really depends on what state your system is in. If you have the end game speakers you love them I think DAC and the source (network player). | |
| Svs, Rel, or ?. Had SVS 13ultra with the 1200D amp upgrade. Phone app was nice. Needed to adjust. Got Rythmik and SVS is up for sale as we speak. No comparison. The servo tech is amazing. The adjustments to fit most rooms. I was looking at two Rel 812/s but... | |
| preamplifier after preamplifier? You could bet a Parasound P7 which has this built in. So does the 5 and 6. | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit Streaming is probably the first time I started looking at all what some call snake oil. After I put the Sonore Rendu and decoupled the network from the system and added a really good DAC wow. There is noise out there. I have not dove into the $2... | |
| Streaming 102 I went through a few phases of this. I cannot say enough how both do matter. A bad streamer can send noise to DAC. I can also say tons of deals out there used. Hunt and find and save a ton. I got a Sonore Rendu Signature SE and PSAudio Direct... | |
| Streaming 102 Write off the player. Rip everything u own now get the rest from Qobuz that you don’t own. Get the streamer and DAC separately. You won’t look back. Highly recommend the Sonore line. Under $1500 and leave the rest for a good Dac that can do it a... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @arafiq Yes I bought the Signature Rendu SE optical Level 2. Wish they did not drop the I2S on it from the first rev..but the matrix was only $500. Yeah I was not about to pay the $5k for this one with the goodies needed but when the used one ca... |
