| What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal? You could get a Raspberry Pi and use as streamer and then connect it to almost any dac you choose. This may leave you with more budget for the dac since the RPi only costs about $100 with a box.Here are some videos about this but you can search fo... | |
| Amazon just killed Tidal It seems to be just $14.95 per month without Prime which is a good price. If you include the cost for Prime the total seems to become between $21 and $26 per month. Seems like higher price than Tidal or Qobuz but it is of course good if you alr... | |
| List your state of art headphones for smart phone use! If you can go up in price you can try Focal Elegia. Seems to get good reviews.https://www.innerfidelity.com/content/focal-elegia-review | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? I think the Kii Three has a very competitive price since it contains an amp and a dac.That said we as a community probably have too too many ideas of what a system should sound like to really have generic "gigant killers" | |
| The best looking speakers As some other have said: Sonus Faber Are great looking. I also like Totem and Boenicke and my wife would be ok with all of those.I happened to mention Kii Three to my wife, more as dream speakers than something to buy right now. My wife took one l... | |
| KLAudio is stopping production of their Ultrasonic record cleaner. Has anyone tried the Kirmuss Record Cleaning Machine?A lot cheaper and has some very good reviews. https://kirmussaudio.com/ka-rc-1-ultrasonic-record-restoration-system/ | |
| WAF Speaker suggestions I second Totem speakers. They have many modell that are very small with beatiful wooden boxes and some in white. Some newer versions are really, really thin but a bit more expensive.https://totemacoustic.com/en/forest-signature | |
| Taking Power Conditioning to the Max? I'm with @lalitk , Stromtank seems like a great solution. I've heard it at an audio show and everything sounded great. They also have a smaller version, the S2500. | |
| What are the advantages to a Class A amp & what are the trade offs? @koestner I would say that this is a better metaphor:class AB is like having a car with 2 engines and 2 gas pedals. Every few seconds you have to switch pedal and try to hit the same rpm again (we can pretend that the engines would overheat otherw... | |
| Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail There are many speakers that could live you more of the sound you want.I would probably try these and keep the amp for now.Focal Kanta 3Boenicke w8 or w11Kii Three | |
| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) This whole sub-section of Audiogon forums would be pretty useless if all amps sounded exactly the same, wouldn't it?About you question a very sensitive speaker should probably not be driven by a strong amp since those may sound worse in low levels... | |
| Best Headphone under 1k$? You can ask in reddit/r/headphoneshttp://www.reddit.com/r/headphonesThere are a few cans that could give the Sundara a match but in the end it is a lot up to taste. | |
| Small Floorstander? Totem used to have small speakers with great sound. Their newest are really thin. | |
| If you still spin CDs, this may be the cost no object best option. @shkong78 have you looked at Stromtank?They seem to have a very good solution for power cleaning. It is expensive but your systems sounds like it is top notch and the S2500 may suit it. http://www.enjoythemusic.com/superioraudio/equipment/0218/St... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Try the Focal Scala Utopia EVO, they are closer in price to the Sasha DAW and should be better than the Sopra 3. |
