| Upscale Audio and Primaluna "Quite simply, every dollar of profit from your purchase of a Cayin amp goes directly to a government that runs vast re-education camps, oppresses dissent in Tibet and Hong Kong and promotes the use of slave and forced labor in the country's w... | |
| Colapse to Hegel I tried Focal (1028be) with Hegel 190, but didn't like the sound at all. Be careful with Aria, if its top is similar like Electra (I know Aria doesn't have Be tweeter, but still...), not sure if it will be a good synergy. Hegel has great amps, but... | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs Focal + Naim is one of the worst combination for highs, in my (subjective) opinion - cold and analytical. Very deep and fast with the bass, Naim can really control the speaker, but if you want neutral to warmer sound, I wouldn't go with Naim. | |
| How important is a preamp for purely digital sources? I was using ADI RME2 DAC as preamp (you always have some kind of preamp, passive or active, i suppose. If you're relying purely on digital volume control of DAC, that's the worst scenario since it reduces S/N ratio greatly. Try to avoid that at al... | |
| RMAF 2019! @gadios so what did mr. Hegel answer, why are their amps better than competitors!? | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! I don't get this, how do you play audio albums on Netflix? Can you even confirm that the source material is same, and not "prepared" for screen/movie (EQ, dynamics changed or compressed)? | |
| Better sound with ethernet cable? Based on internet stories, and even im an IT guy and familiar how LAN vs Wifi works from byte stream / TCP point of view, I decided to try with one decent Audioquest LAN cable instead of wifi, and one cheap LAN cable. No difference at all. But, ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Few days ago I got new class-D Nord NC500 mk3+SI opamp, connected to Primaluna Prologue tube preamp and Chord 2Qute DAC. That combination have total control over Focal 1028be, driving them with such ease, but also tube smoothness and musicality. C... | |
| Why so many used focals? Focal gets sold sometimes because owners can't find a good system match (amp, dac) - they can sound ok, or amazing, depending on the rest of the system.Also, focals have open but not bright (fatiguing) sound. Are there some speaker cable brands a... | |
| Integrated amp with HT bypass for Focal Electra 1008 Be @denizpiri is that just poweramp? Did you tried any preamps, how much does it affects the sound?But the main question is, what would be the difference from AA Puccini, expect the obvious difference in W. I have Puccini with 1007be, so just wonderi... | |
| Integrated amp + dac for Focal I have 1007be, tried few amps:Rega elexr - no, too harshNaim - no, sounds like b&w, I hate this combination (often presented at hifi shows since its the same mother-company)Pass (few models with few different tube preamps) - really goodHegel h... | |
