| Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio? From what I heard the external power filters and re-generators are usually better than what is inside amps. The internal ones are normally filters rather than re-generators. The big question in my mind is if the improvement is worth the cost and y... | |
| the cart or the horse? Another option if you keep the speakers is the Schiit Ragnarok amp with their dac-card. About $1800 and has very good sound and adjustable gain which should make them match your speakers. https://www.stereophile.com/content/schiit-audio-rag... | |
| High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman.... I have heard a Bryston but not compared it to other amps. I did like it and think you should listen to it. Spec was also good but I only heard it for a very short time. Aavik is not mentioned yet, I think. The U-150 might be a good choice and ca... | |
| Anyone Seen a Feb 2022 Stereophile Issue?? @carlsbad try the Zinio subscription if you can get it and install the app on a tablet. Makes it easy to read and feels a bit more like the magazine than reading on the web . | |
| Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server--arrived in my room. Congrats! All reviews I've seen of the Wadax Ref says it is something special. I will never be able to afford it but I am glad someone improves the sound from digital . Hope it will trickle down some day. Maybe they can license their tech to oth... | |
| All In One Recommendations Schiit Ragnarok can be had in a maxed out config which should include dac and phono-stage for around $1800. It does not include a streamer but you could get a Raspberry Pi or iFi Zen Streamer and hide behind the amp. | |
| Suggestions for an integrated upgrade please For everyone complaining about the source, he has a Singxer Su6 that seems to have its own clock. The digital signal should therefore be reclocked already when it gets to the dac. I don't think another streamer will improve the sound much. | |
| Need new headphone setup. Good luck with your HD600 and Cobalt! I was gonna say that the Cobalt is great. I use a Black myself but has listened to the Cobalt in a store and it is better. If you ever want better headphones I suggest trying Focal. I think the Elex from Dro... | |
| Audiogon resolutions for 2022 - #1 less exaggeration when it comes to system changes @rudyb ++ Everyone clearly hears an improvement Audiogon is probably better than Reddit but I’ve kind of lost hope for this to ever happen. Some people still seems to think that a $150 dac or a $400 amp is as good as it gets and that noo... | |

| 2022 Audio System Wish List and thoughts about streaming During 2021 I upgraded the amp to a used Schiit Ragnarok which turned out to be my best upgrade yet. I have just installed a dac card in it also. For 2022 I hope I can upgrade my speakers since they are +20 years old and pretty basic. After that ... | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? I very much liked the Boenicke W5 when I heard it at a show. I stayed a while in the room and got to choose a song I knew well. For your room they may be perfect. Most reviews also mentions that they sound a lot like real musical instruments. ... | |
| integrated amp on a budget I bought the multibit dac card for my Ragnarok from their US shop and it worked great! See if they can send a full Ragnarok. You may have to pay a customs fee. | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Another suggestion. Taste is personal but I like the looks of Bayz Audio speakers. I've seen and heard the smaller ones and they were great. Reminded me of MBL. | |
| Best speakers around $130k? I meant Borresen 05 but could o longer edit my previous comment. Here is a video of them anyway. |
