| Whats playing on your system today? Streaming Mark Lettieri's album "Deep: The Baritone Sessions Vol. 2". Recently added my first stand-alone DAC to supplement my streamer and I just can't get over how good this album sounds. Excellent guitar and bass work. Someday I'll figure out... | |
| Who is your favorite tube seller? I'm fairly new to tubes and recently purchased from Jim McShane. Excellent service, careful packaging, and quick shipping. Haven't tried the tubes yet. | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade @robshaw my apologies. By the end of the thread I somehow forgot that you were inquiring about possible upgrades to the Fritz Carbon 7se MK2. Thanks for your reply and I appreciate the information. I'm still contemplating a pair sometime in the f... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade @robertq how are you liking your new Fritzs ? And what equipment are you using? | |
| Salk Song3 Beat and Salk HT2-TL Thanks for the comments. A pair was available within driving distance and I was considering them for a second system. I took too long to think about it. | |
| Do you recall "instant improvement" from your first stand-alone DAC ? Thank you all for sharing your experiences with first DACs. I'm trying to go into this without expectations and will be sure to take notes on familiar songs before and after. | |
| Yet another streamer options thread... To the OP... are you unhappy with the sound of the Ultra or just looking for something different? I too have been pretty impressed with the WiiM Ultra in my main system... even without an external DAC but I hope to try one soon. | |
| A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player? If you rarely listen to a CD I don't see any point in spending a thousand or even hundreds. I've been using a second-hand Sony CDP-CE500 with remote (that I got locally for less than a hundred) for several years and it sounds quite good in my syst... | |
| Merason DACs @oddiofyl did you hear the Frerot with the factory wal wart power supply or the matching POW 1 LPSU ? From the research I've done I'm seriously considering for my first external DAC the Merason Frerot or Reuss, or possibly one of the entry leve... | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC This has been a very interesting thread as I continue research for my first external DAC. The Denafrips Pontus 15th sounds like it would suit my musical tastes but unfortunately my pre-amp has only RCA inputs and outputs. Would this mean I would ... | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? Salk Sound may not be a big name, and they stopped production a year or two ago, but they have a reputation for excellent sound coming from furniture-grade cabinets. Why ? Because Jim Salk was dedicated (perhaps obsessed) with using the best comp... | |
| Who is your favorite instrumentalist or instrumental group? Thanks to all who responded, those are some great suggestions. I forgot to mention it in the title but I'm also interested in your favorite instrumental songs. Here are a couple of mine. Thanks. " Share my Sky " by Ray Montford "Mudslide" by Ve... | |
| Your opinions on the Polk R700 speakers You probably already know this, but Gary Dayton has taken over at Coherent Source Service and offers parts/repairs for Thiel speakers in Lexington, KY. If you like your 2.4 speakers it could be good option. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have a copy of Billy Cobham's Glass Menagerie "Observations and Reflections" that I purchased maybe 40 years ago. The first and one of my favorite jazz albums. I take it out and play it every so often and it still sounds great. Unfortunately i... | |
| Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...? OP what did you eventually purchase ? I'm researching Audiovector and found some good info in this thread. |
