| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio I checked out online some pictures of the The Lab12 DAC1 SE...It does not even offer balanced capacity. Not an XLR output to be found.. A DAC like the Yggdrasil being fronted by a good tube preamp should produce more accurate sound... | |

| New speakers for my system Keep it small? A pair of Audience 1+1's and a REL sub (or a pair) .... Can't get more phase coherent and detailed.... I listen to 1+1's on my desktop (sans REL) and know they reveal music in an excellent way. REL has the speed to match the Au... | |
| One DAC/integrated you could be happy with forever? " One DAC/integrated you could be happy with forever?"Foolish premise.

| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review All these class D companies utilize modules from several main suppliers which they modify to their own tastes... Yet, NuPrime manufactures their own modules and is the best Class D I have heard with the NuPrime ST-10. And, that is not even the... | |
| Listening Height Adjustment -- Is This Why Two People Don't Hear the Same? Maybe make something into a semi footstool.... I think you'll feel better? | |
| Listening Height Adjustment -- Is This Why Two People Don't Hear the Same? I have a much smaller system. But, I adjust height, separation, and angel *very* precisely. I find setting the speakers even a quarter inch higher, or lower changes to tonal balance. Stereo is an illusion and requires exactness if a very realisti... | |
| Replacing fuse It could cause damage to the component. Because the 8 slo blow has a higher threshold before blowing. Why did the 6.3A blow? Right there it tells you not to invite damaging your equipment. | |
| Highest detail cartridges I do not listen analog anymore. But, when I used to sell audio I auditioned one I will never forget. If detail is what you want? Hands down. Decca London cartridge. They can be a little fussy with certain arms. I was able to hear the snare... | |
