| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? Just for fun.... Facts as I know things: 1) people value things differently; sometimes, they think they are valuing something based on a what they would consider a good reason, and sometimes they fool themselves. This often leads to them chasing... | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? @audiojan We are in agreement. The phrase bugs me because the phrase "I’m entitled to my opinion" is a fallacy; it is used to preempt or dismiss arguments against their position; the phrase is asserting they have a right to hold their own particul... | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? Just like there’s people saying you can’t hear the difference between cables, or between amps for that matter... everyone’s entitled to their opinion. It’s not a question about whether people are "entitled" to their opinion, right? I mean, that... | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? The sound profile that I'm looking for is smooth and spacious The PSA DirectStream Mk1 isn't smooth or spacious? Just want to clarify. I love my Holo Audio Spring 3. Very smooth, spacious, good detail, solid all around. I will never look for a... | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour Vs. Lampizator I have heard the lamps come in for fixes a lot. (I know a pro-fixer.) I'd get a Tubadour any day. | |
| Happy Easter to all that celebrate! Happy Easter. Here's to love, forgiveness, kindness, and loving our neighbor as ourselves. | |
| Wanting to upgrade my speakers This is a bit long-winded, but I still really really love the Ascend Towers and think they are an unbelievable value. Review, here. | |
| You can't hear dialogue because it doesn't matter A lot of films aim for international release. That flattens what can be put into them so they are not too "local." Everything has corn syrup in it, if you know what I mean. | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? If you want to leave tubes, I think you have to go higher than any Rowland, Pass or Sugden. Wow, not at all my experience. Pass, First Watt, sound pretty marvelous and different than tubes. | |
| Chinese DAC's A friend is very discriminating and tried a lot of nice gear; he has VTL monoblocks and preamp, Maggie 3.7’s, and an Audio GD DAC and he loves it. Holo Audio is made in China. It gets very good reviews. I love mine. | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? @gano +1 "Why get the forum involved?" is a laugh out loud line. First, since when did "the forum" need someone to speak for it? Second, this person got involved in a thread he didn't think worthy. Therefore, he's complicit. No one likes a n... | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? @atmasphere I LOVE my ST35. Bought it and refurbished it thanks to your suggestions. What a gem. I was powering 87db bookshelves with it yesterday (Acoustic Energy AE500) and it sounded luscious. Just great. | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? What a thread. It’s gotten a lot of discussion going, including your comment. Must be something interesting going on here. You see, it’s not just about bashing. It’s about whether there is a point at which sensible effects cannot be discerned... | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? @displayname I was very impressed by the LTA – the cleanness and the wide and articulate soundstage was phenomenal. It is a tube amp but not overly warm. If you are curious, reach out to me because I know a standup guy selling one. (It’s not me.) ... | |
| Troubleshooting help Good advice. I have an Adcom amp. For me, the problem was an old fuse. Easy to fix. |
