| Streamer recommendation Have a look at the Volumio Rivo +. Connected to your Gryphon DAC - awesome and not expensive. | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. Many reasons - the Euro has risen against a falling dollar, Trump tariffs on European goods, new ownership by Bose, inflation, transportation. You will likely see more price increases if Trump tariffs continue to be added, manufacturers will try t... | |
| Need a solid surge protector that’s non-current limiting. Another vote for the Puritan PSM156! | |
| Need Recommendation for Coffee Shop I have two recommendations - for an active speaker you could look at the new Technics Active speakers and for a passive speakers the relatively EPOS new ES-7N. | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations SCM150SLP are the END speakers from ATC for most people, that said, they need about 500 hours to show you what they really can do! I speak from experience with the SCM150ASLT Special Edition active version. Do not be in a hurry to buy electronics ... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers I will say that almost everything makes a difference to the sound quality. A fine switch like the Melco S100mk2 or a fantastic switch like the Melco S1 should be considered for your audio chain. Then a streamer like a Lindemann Woodnote Solo or Me... | |
| Best affordable Linear Power Stage Plixir Elite BDC Mk2 | |
| Who has gone fully active? What speakers and preamp did you end up with? Two thumbs up for Active ATC with a tube pre-amp like the Canor Audio Hyperion P1. SCM100ASL or SCM150ASLT - shockingly fabulous. Also great with ATC's own top pre-amp SCA2. | |
| Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer Excellent ATC recommendation! For those who might want a versatile speaker that can be placed on a bookshelf, or stand mounted near or far from the wall, look at the EPOS ES-7N - another speaker with '7' in the model name. Lots of great reviews an... | |
| Streamer, no DAC please? First, are you looking for a server or streamer or something that does both jobs? Have a look at the Lindemann Bridge II streamer with digital out, very nice app, you can use JPlay if you prefer that interface. Also the Melco N100 is a great serve... | |
| Integrated amp with preamp tubes Canor Electronics from Slovakia make an excellent Hybrid Integrated Amp AI 2.10. Canor makes many of the Musical Fidelity products in their factory along with EAT electronics as well as other brands. Many great reviews on their electronics online... | |
| looking for bookshelves - Another usual boring speaker discussion How close to the wall will the speakers be? Budget range? On stands or on a bookcase or piece of furniture? Subwoofer? | |
| speaker upgrade fever Without a doubt, Fink Team KIM. Efficient, glorious mid-range, electrostatic-like tweeter but maybe better, some eq adjustments on rear of speaker, not a big box and beautiful German-made cabinets in a wide range of finishes. Fabulous reviews. | |
| Linear Power Supply Recommendations! The Plixir BDC Mk2 5a 12v dual output. https://www.plixirpower.com/products/elite-bdc-mk-ii-3a-5a-1 This should be considered one of the best in the world. | |
| Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204 Either the new Plixir BDC v2 with Statement DC Cable or the Statement DC power supply. These will be the top Linear power supplies on the market. |
