| Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit. Thank you @rvpianoAre you able to avail yourself of the balanced outputs? I'm not sure this would be the case with the Gungy, but often times components balanced outputs run about +6db hotter than the RCAs. And I believe your NuForce monoblocks ac... | |

| Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit. Just out of curiosity, what is the benefit of this design to trigger a relay when loss of signal is detected? Never heard such a thing before. As per Schiit tech support:"It prevents any glitches from the start of the signal from reaching the a... | |
| Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit. Got the Gungy Multibit. Wow! Right out of the box, the sound is a big improvement over my old Theta. I can only guess how good it will sound when broken in.Big problem though. According to Schiit, there is a "clicking" sound when loading a CD or ... | |
| what speakers to buy I really shouldn't have included GE on that list. For me, they don't even fall into the fun category.I auditioned the GE Triton 1s and found they were more fatiguing than just about any speaker I've heard. My girlfriend plugged her ears before the... | |
| what speakers to buy Focal, Revel, Golden Ear and similar ilk are like a hot and wild girlfriend. They’re great fun for a while, but not the ones you want to settle down with for the long haul.I’ll settle down for the long haul anytime with a hot and wild babe. Same f... | |
| what speakers to buy Wow. When shadorne becomes inflamed about you pushing brands, you know you have violated all objectivity.DaveHi Dave. I'm certain you already know I truly enjoy your witticism. What you may not know is that I do at times follow the advice of other... | |
| what speakers to buy @gdhal, the Focal Utopia family has lots of models. An A'gon member suggested a pair of Utopia Alto Be's that are on A'gon with an asking price within the OP's budget. @cycles2I found/find the Focal website to be a bit "quirky" (i.e. difficult to ... | |
| Is it the beer or do speakers/electronics really need some extended warm-up period? In all seriousness (is that even possible?), I think the desire to turn up the volume is sometimes a desire to get 'more' you are there-they are here/immediacy/verisimultude (great word) out of the system. The trick for me is getting the volume/ga... | |
| what speakers to buy @kosst_amojanYou raise interesting points regarding the AMT driver and the forward sound of the upper region. However, as a current owner of the Reference and former owner of the One I can tell you in my experience it is not "unnatural" or "ear-po... | |
| Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit. Based on accounts of the Gungnir sounding more "mellow" than the Yggdrasil, and reports that the latter takes months to deliver, I've switched my order.Unfortunately, I certainly can confirm the Yggy takes months to deliver. | |
| what speakers to buy Sorry, but I don't think GoldenEar makes anything that comes close to the Focal Utopia line. I don't even think their lineup sounds better than the Focal 900 series, except for maybe their Reference. Apology accepted. Curious if you've heard the T... | |
| what speakers to buy You may want to check into something in the Golden Ear Technology Triton Tower line. https://www.goldenear.com/products/triton-series | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Oppo’s response (after extensive checking with their engineering group and numerous back-and-forth communication) to the source direct problem I pointed out is that "the unit was not operating correctly prior to the latest firmware" and has since ... |
