| Best integrated for my needs???? $10k for the amp sounds a bit much. I would probably aim for a $6k amp with a $4k source and $10k speakers. I know some audiophiles just split it even. In your case it may be $7k each for a $21 k total budget. Good luck with whatever you do! | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? I think it is interesting that digital still gets better. See the January issue of TAS where they review a Wadax dac and the reviewer says it is the best digital he has ever heard. I just hope they can get some of that quality down to "normal" pri... | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music If you like Tannoy you should try to listen to Fyne also. A lot of old Tannoy people are working there. F702, for example. | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music Some more recommendations. May be good to have a few options. Audio Solutions Figaro M speakers. Sounded really great at a show and has great reviews. http://hifiknights.com/reviews/speakers/audiosolutions-figaro-m-loudspeakers/Could combine with ... | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) I've listened to a Bryston amp with Orangutan O/93 speakers. That was a very good pairing and I wished I could afford it. I tried some rock but not metal.If you go for changing everything I would recommend trying the Kii Three which have massive a... | |
| Questioning Tannoy, Tekton or other possible change. If you like Tannoy you may want to investigate Fyne also. Lots of old Tannoy people are working there.The F703 or F702 may be something for you. | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 Yes, I’ve seen the pricing, and I have no issue with it.If I could afford it and it was the best, based on my own in home audition, I’d buy it.I'm with @dover on this, I think the price is high but I might buy it if I could afford to.It interest... | |
| How I'd spend money given no limits I'm actually thinking about going to the Munich show. Maybe 2022. | |
| How I'd spend money given no limits With no limits I would probably try to listen to a number of systems before making a choice.Electronics I have heard that sounded very good include* CH Precision* Apurna (https://www.apurna-france.com/index_en.html )* Aavik* Devialet* Pass Labs* A... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 @lewm I just wondered if someone had heard or seen it. Or even just heard about it.But the discussion about if there should be hifi components prices so high the "are in the ether!" is interesting. I personally like that someone out there is pushi... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present @justmetoo I don't know why I missed your response a few months back but Audiogon just notified me about it.Boenicke does not in my opinion sound analytical or thin. You can find some reviews online about them.From 6moons:" So... organic hi-rez t... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 If you are thinking about higher priced dacs then the Mola Mola Tambaqui could be of interest. I have only heard it once and shortly but it was good. There are some reviews of it. | |
| suggestion for a SS class AB amp that sounds like a class A ... if such a thing exists Rega has some nice integrateds. | |
| Goldmund, not much inside, but ultra expensive. (a bit late to this, sorry)I find it really strange to judge a hifi component by how much air it is in the box. I also think that if the manufacturers would shrink all boxes to the minimal size someone would complain about that instead. But it is ... | |
| Where are the cheap home streamers? Project Streambox S2 is cheap. Orchard and Volumio Primo are ready made. |
