| Power regenerator vs conditioner Stromtank is the most advanced system I've seen. It is a giant battery with a very precise regegenerator.I've heard it but only in a system, not demoed with an without. There are some reviews and they all seem to be very positive. So it is just a ... | |
| Speaker Suggestions/Opinions I was considering a Fyne speaker. The ones I heard was very good and there are many models to choose from. | |
| Full circle and thinking about speakers The latest issue of TAS, The Absolute Sound, lists all their recommended components in different price points. Could be worth reading. | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? @tkukielk the speakers look wonderful! | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core Spotify seems to move into hq streaming, this may change the market somewhat. Whatever you buy, make sure it is software upgradable and from a somewhat stable company. A NUC and an external re-clocker might be a good start that can be switched later. | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core For the best I guess the Wadax Reference Server could give the Taiko some competition. Their dac was the best the TAS reviewer had heard.https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/wadax-reference-server.31859/ | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? Some people actually says that a ripped cd played from a hdd sounds even better than cd.I agree that you are missing out on music. And personally I think the sq difference is very small, whichever direction it goes. | |

I have not compared enough streamers to really say how fast they are evolving, this is more based on what I've read.I think streamers may improve a bit more but the biggest change will be the trickle down effect, cheap streamers a few years from n... | |
| Is it worthwhile to upgrade an old but quality DAC? You could add a reclocker in front of the dac. This might improve the sound. It won't give you 24/96 support. It is basically impossible to upgrade an old dac to high bit rate unless the manufacturer says they can do it. Some expensive dacs has th... | |
| Help an old man out The Hegel h390 might work, 2x250w and integrated dac. You would need to add a streamer but could start with a Raspberry Pi, the Volumio Primo or Node2i. | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh Moonriver 404 Reference might be perfect. Got great reviews in TAS and/or Stereophile. https://moonriveraudio.com/ | |
| Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget Fyne, Focal and Boenicke are also worth trying. See what you like.With Fyne I would try F502SP or F702.With Focal either the Kanta 2 or Kanta 3.With Boenicke the W8. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear "About you" by Albin Lee Meldau. | |
| I nominate this company as building best speakers! I've heard them at a show and was very impressed. I just can't afford them. | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? One thing that struck me is that most of the top level speakers, the priciest ones almost no one can afford, that gets fantastic reviews in all the magazines are multi driver. It looks like that is the solution the designer goes to when money is ... |
