| Budget integrated amp? I would definitely consider Schiit and Rotel on the basis of my experience with them on other products in their line and reviews. Get no more functions than required. If it is integrated amp, then just preamp/amp. I know this sounds superficia... | |
| Dynaudio Evoke 20 vs. Totem Signature One vs. Acoustic Revival Adalante 3 Thanks for sharing your journey. I’m a DynAudio fan… be interested to hear what you settle on. | |
| In the sand box Inner tubes, elastomer layers, pucks, springs, carbon fiber shelfs, sophisticated integrated isolation platforms (Silent Running Audio), metal cones, wood cones, granite slabs… but not sand, moss, alge, dirt or gravel. | |
| Who has experience with audiophile circuit breakers? And did the Synergistic Research Orange fuses provide a cost justifiable improvement? | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction @tdudnyk Audiophilia is not about having the most cost effective audio system. It is about having the maximum audio performance that you can afford. I have always stretched for the very best achievable that I could possibly afford. That involves... | |
| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? @kennyc +1 | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 20- Owners Thoughts? They are capable of what you desire… but it is going to be a function of your other equipment. Your Bryston amp is very detailed and powerful thusly assuring good punch at the low end. But, it might be light in the midrange not giving full weight ... | |
| Need recommendation Absolutely. I put them on the moment I enter the airport, with just the noise cancellation turned on… then on the plane music or nothing. ‘’When you look around planes… most of the seasoned travelers have them. Even great in the hotel. | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital @jsalerno277 …” I would only add that I find some very early digital masters suffer compared to vinyl.” Yes! Wow, there are some really horrible recordings as studios converted over to digital. I actually have a couple of Deutsch Gramophone album... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 20- Owners Thoughts? Congradulations! These are excellent speakers. I have heard them more than once. The low end is effected by placement, so if you find them lacking in low end, work on placement. Speakers are incredibly sensitive to placement, particularly bass an... | |
| Need recommendation What will be your usage? I am a dyed in the wool audiophile and have an amazing headphone setup for home, with many high end headphones (see my userID for virtual systems, it’s shown there). But for travel or noisy environments I always use Bose Q... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @bryhifi Great comments. I never thought of it that way. Good analogy. I just want to point out again that PRaT is probably the most difficult parameter to sense. I know many folks that do not know how to detect it yet. But with thought a... | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker I would be looking at Franco Serblin speakers and thinking about whether I wanted to do stand mounted or full tower. Looking for end game, I would be thinking about natural and musical speakers the kind that satisfy the deep rooted desire for rich... | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? Reading professional reviews are an important activity in keeping up with the high end and preparing for my next upgrade cycle. As often as I can I then listen to the equipment reviewed and compare what was written about how the component sounds i... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital The “sound of” vinyl or digital is entirely dependent on the equipment you use to reproduce the sound. I chose my equipment to sound natural and musical. Both sound virtually identical on the same mastering and recording. There is some variance ar... |
