| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. OP, Go for it! I am 70 and retired. I spent 50 years learning, reaching, and investing. Now, I am able to listen to my system for three hours a day. It is my most rewarding asset. Well worth the continual investment and work I have put into it... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui OP, If you are in the market for a better DAC, I recommend that you do just that.

| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui The Yggdrasil is a budget DAC. Upgrading will make a huge improvement in sound. The real question is in which direction do you want to upgrade? Do you want incredible detail? Or detail and musicality. Look at Berkeley and dCS for detail. ARC is de... | |
| Fathom subwoofers? I would recommend a better REL. if these two subs are in the same system… then it would be preferable to have two identical subs… definitely REL. For audio systems subwoofers should always be used in pairs… assuming you can afford it. They rea... | |
| Schiit Audio feedback Well, not always. I bought several pieces as an experiment and in helping a friend pick out a system and had no responses from customer service… at all in the three weeks after ordering. I tried to contact them multiple times, no response. This do... | |

| Do my ears deceive me?? @mofojo ”In what way have speakers had a tremendous advancement in the last 20 years,… Your Sonus Fabers are all paper driver… nothing new.?” In sound quality performance. Saying Sonus Faber speakers use paper cones is a gross abstraction. It is ... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k OP… “But it’s a super-resolving system and lesser recordings have their warts on full display”. This is one of the major themes of high end audio. I struggled with this off and on for thirty years… of my fifty year history in high end audio. T... | |
