| Final Analog Upgrades I have a soundsmith phono stage that I am very happy with in your price range. | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? Camera rentals are in place supported mostly by professionals that need a particular piece of gear for a particular short term assignment. I have used them to try out a lens but found a place close to avoid the shipping barges. I’ve also used the... | |
| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu Pearl - in the right space they are magical. Vocals were as good as I’ve ever heard. spatial presentation was spot on. Bass response was detailed and far deeper than you’d imagine from drivers that size. From my experience the downsides relate... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? So I don’t own a cd player now but what I’d like to add to the conversation is that I completely believe in cables and from my experience the same cables that were an amazing upgrade for my amp, did not play well with my DAC or Streamer. I believe... | |
| IS THE WEISS 204 A SUBSTANIAL UPGRADE FRON THE CHORD QUTEST I’m using a sonnet Pasithea and the detail retrieval is absolutely incredible. Worth a look and around your price point. | |
| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? JCAT reference usb | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? I’ve had 2 that I love. Very sorry to have sold the pearl acoustics Sibelius. Sold to fund new purchase. Very unexpectedly full sound down below 40hz in a reasonable sized room. Second is a fostex BLH from Joseph Crowe Audio. This can be a DIY. ... | |
| Speakers for low-level listening I have a pair of Joseph Crowe 2095 horns that sound magnificent, dynamic, and full at low levels. Much of my listening is done late in the evenings. see my profile for pics, but in general I think this supports the suggestion and benefit of horns... | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? Add me to the auralic G2.1 camp. It’s a great streamer with a reasonably good native app. I opted for this over some other choices based on availability of WiFi as some others have noted. | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? I had two great sounding systems in my house. The main system was substantially more expensive than my second system. My main is using an Auralic g2.1 (G1.1 at the time of comparison) while my second system was using a Node. here’s the odd thing ... | |
| Do you have a perfect digital marriage? Auralic Aries G2.1 via lightning app into a Sonnet Pasithea DAC. outstanding realism, detail and timbre. streamer Upgraded from node to auralic g1.1 to 2.1 Dac upgraded from Parasound to Rockna Wavelight to Pasithea using 45 tubes into c... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? +1 jond i heard the PAP at CAF in 2 rooms. I expected the downstairs room with VPI to be amazing but unfortunately it was one of the few rooms i really disliked. I had a pair of Spatial X5s OBs for a couple of years and largely enjoyed them w... | |
| Speaker List narrowed down… I heard a pair of yg acoustics at CAF powered by a Bermeister integrated and it was my favorite room of the show for a normal home size room. | |
| 300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel? Spatial Audio lab produces dual 300b monoblocks designed by Don Sachs, ‘Blackbirds’ 24wpc. | |
| Where to purchase cables? I used the cable company lending library to evaluate numerous cables. Prices are reasonable and you have a couple of weeks to evaluate; but then I’ve mostly bought used. |
