| Need speaker advice The Devore Orangutang O/93 are at least 93 db efficient. I would try that since they are available in Sweden. Maybe you have to avoid high volume and rock.https://audioconcept.se/produkt/devore-fidelity-orangutan-o-93/Or go for Thivan which are 98... | |
| Blade 2, Sopra 2 or 3 or Scala Evo? Hi fellow Stockholmer!You seem to have chosen the Focal EVO already and I wish you a great time with them. Seems like great speakers. I was going to say that Jay's Audio Lab have made some Youtube videos about them and compared them to some other ... | |
| Speaker pairing for Naim Nait 5i Naim and Focal are basically the same company, they should work together. Other than that I would start looking at British speakers. | |
| Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?” Naim. Rythm and pace. | |
| 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. | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? 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/ |
