| SabrinaX vs JA Perspective2 Graphene From the measurements alone, both speakers' in room response looks very good, the JA's pointy lower bass making it sound a tad lean overall... The Sabrinas show a dip in the presence region and a more uniform decay in the bass with a usefully low... | |
| Looking at best option for 20-25k for DAC Streamer combo I invested a lot of time listening to digital front ends recently and my recommendation would be slightly off the norm: Keep the Lumin as a streamer (I like the Lumin x1, it’s a very decent, nice sounding product!). IRC, it sounds good & is u... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Time alignment has nothing to do with instruments placement in an orchestra, that will (or sould) show up in the recording of said orchestra. Remember, we are reproducing the recording of the orchestra and that recording includes cues as to where... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 @gregjacob Hi, as you already have about 30 recommendations for a new DAC and you like detailed sound, resolution and musicaltiy (and dynamics?), let me add to the confusion and recommend the Ideon Audio Ayazi (raving reviews here as well). I have... | |

| Parity That sounds good 😉, enjoy! | |
| Kharma equisite series (any experiences?) Hi - I listened to the Midi recently & the Classic in the past. They are beautifully made and sound good. What do you want to know? | |
| What is the added value of a streamer over a networked dedicated Computer What @ghdprentice said above. Also had a mac running audirvana, etc, etc. Identical results. Good luck! | |
| Questionable Tweak D-K 😁 Whatever the auditory case may be, it doesn't hurt to clean the air every now & then! | |
| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 I second the EAR recommendation and will also recommend the CAT Ultimate or whatever it’s called nowadays. Both have exceptionally good line AND phono stages -- both. FWIW, I have compared the 912 with AR ref 6 and, excellent though the AR may b... | |
| Vintage Stanton cartridge — extreme lean to one side normal? To me this does not look normal at all! And the cantilever is bent, probably to compensate, as you suggested. | |
| Hyperacusis. Looking for recommendations Dynamics are a salient characteristic of horn-loaded speakers. Accordingly, electrostats are probably your best bet - as aptly mentioned above. More importantly, I hope your condition improves and that meanwhile, you enjoy a few happy tunes! | |
| Audio Exotics high end show live from Hong kong @himiguel Thank you for posting this | |
| looking for a more efficient speaker..... Ok, let me second (third?) the advice above: please give more info, as above. The Alon 4 are very good speakers and, arguably, hold their own today. |
