| Your last concert was to see who and when? Recently saw Shakti with John McLaughlin, Zakir Hussein and Shankar Mahadevan. This was a lifetime dream show for me. I first listened to the original Shakti 35 years ago and was not disappointed. What a fun and magical night. | |
| Desktop preamp DAC for Focal Shape 50 The Focals came in and I have to say I am very happy. With the lack of a rear port I have them pretty close to the rear wall and they sound fantastic. I'm currently using my Jolida fusion dac preamp. I love this preamp but the dac is dated and I ... | |
| Desktop preamp DAC for Focal Shape 50 Actually The Saga Plus looks like it might be a good choice. I don't need a headphone amp. I kind of wanted to avoid having to buy a separate preamp and DAC though. | |
| Favorite cable brand. Blue Jeans cable. Affordable, high quality, excellent customer service. | |
| Need recommendations for better two-channel audio out of my Marantz SR-6005 and my B&W 683 I ended up getting a Denon X3700H. Since this is mainly a home theater setup I wanted to stick with an AVR. After running through the Audyssey setup it sounds great. The speakers blend together much better in surround sound and the two-channel sou... | |

| Need recommendations for better two-channel audio out of my Marantz SR-6005 and my B&W 683 Thanks for the replies @soix and @deep_333, really appreciate it.1) I see a lot of dual sub posts on reddit r/audiophile. I will definitely plan on upgrading the sub, could always get a second down the road.2) I already have a pretty nice two-chan... | |
| Need recommendations for better two-channel audio out of my Marantz SR-6005 and my B&W 683 Thanks for the input. I'm leaning towards the Anthem. There is a dealer nearby so I could support my local shop. They also sell B&W, so I might get to demo it. | |
| Jolida, Glass FX Tube DAC III vs Fusion DAC Pre The tubes are enclosed in the unit, I've never actually opened it up. I assume you just unscrew a couple screws to open the case.I have since upgraded the Amp to a Parasound A23. | |
| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? I also have a Parasound A21 amp and I'm running a Jolida Fusion DAC preamp. It's a great combination. The soundstage is really lifelike. I'm running Meadowlark Kestrals. I got the factory upgrade option from Jolida.I run digital music exclusively,... | |
| Jolida, Glass FX Tube DAC III vs Fusion DAC Pre I ended up getting the Joilda Fusion Dac Pre, which I am using with the Parasound HCA-1500 and my Kestrals. It sounds incredible. Much more of an improvement than I was expecting. I was using the Marantz SR6005 as a pre-amp previously, and there i... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Tommy Emmanuel last September. One of the greatest shows I have ever seen. An amazing guitar player and musician. Don't miss him! | |
| Jolida, Glass FX Tube DAC III vs Fusion DAC Pre I am leaning heavily towards the Fusion DAC Pre. I like the Bluetooth feature, I want some tubes in my system, and I've always liked the looks of Jolida products. My Parasound arrived and I have been using my Marantz SR6005 as a pre-amp, since I d... | |

| Jolida, Glass FX Tube DAC III vs Fusion DAC Pre Thanks for the response. I guess I thought that since the Glass FX can switch between three digital sources, it kind of functions like a preamp.Is the volume control on the Glass FX just for the headphone output then?What other preamp/dac combos c... |
