| Architectural Digest finally shows audio gear! watch this to see upscale property tour with Waterfall Audio speakers shown throughout - even commended by the broker. I have Waterfall in open concept space and primary bedroom with latest Naim as my retired to grave kits. Love 'em. | |
| A warm DAC? bel canto 2.7 or better yet the 3.7 are silky smooth / musical and all the micro detaisl and dynamics without the digital hash, rigging or sterility. | |

| Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC Understand exactly. More affordable than excellent Audio Note and far better than Border Patrol look no further than NOS or used bel canto design DAC3.7 and above. I am able to go between it and vinyl not only without distress but with enjoyment 2... | |
| Sound quality vs. volume Have here an open concept space of similar albeit a bit larger dimensions. Was a nightmare and I spent considerable upgrading power treatments, speakers, amps, cables, subs....until I surrendered and rearranged the furnishing so the AV was coming ... | |
| Use this song if you are doing an A/B with Preamps "Herding cats.. hopeless." Humorous and enlightened. Thanks. Namaste. | |
| CD Transports +1 on the bel canto CD2 with latest firmware as a REDBOX TRANSPORT I'd say get the best dac you can. CDs may be only one digital source. You may find you have other "digital" audio sources to benefit from hooking to a DAC and your rig. TV, DVD pla... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Look for a silver disc revival like we have seen in vinyl. There will be the dollar bins and there will be the ones that fetch big bucks. Meanwhile, if you got 'em, spin 'em and enjoy ! | |
| Best Preamp New or Used up to $3,000 ?? +1 on Georgehifi counsel. Perhaps rather than a traditional separate preamp, consider an alternate solution. I do not like my OPPO 105 direct to amps for audio. Besides it doesn't have analog input. SO, I use a bel canto design DAC3.7.(which is a ... | |
| Integrated amp + dac for Focal Lot's of good suggestions. I have vintage Whatmough 202 Leadline monitors which use (modded) Focal drivers. After trying a lot of amps, I was pleasantly surprised at how well they paired with bel canto dac3.7 and amps. That smooth their bright nat... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under + ATC. Ya think there'd be less not more choice! After 50 years of constant churning of all manner of audio gear in search of home audio nirvana, my Blumenhofer can impress but my passive ATC with lots of clean power are the only speakers to put ... | |
| SACD/CD player update Sounds like you are looking for musical fidelity the OPPO just isn't built from transport to power supply to DAC (as implemented) and output stage of providing. Sensible mods to my OPPO 105 did help but didn't quite do it. HUGE (all capitals inten... | |
| Paypal issue beware. In nearly 700 transactions buying and selling, I have been "robbed" 5 times. Either buyer claims item wasn't as described and sent back something different or did even communicate. Each time ebay / paypal ignored the evidence and I was out the mon... | |
| Roger Waters Amused To Death +1 dgarretson. An inventively crafted mosaic requiring articulate audio gear to convey a warning to listeners sadly even more relevant today than it was a quarter of a century ago. | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? From Tekton stand mounts to whole other world used Mark and Daniels Ruby (still use in second system), Topaz (friend has) and recently Mini for desktop system. Along the way, tried countless speakers for main until configuring a set of ATC scm20... |
