| Sopra 2 Bass Update (not that anyone still reads this old thread) but I stepped-up to the REL 212/SX. What a different animal in contrast to the Carbon Special. The CS filled a hole I needed filled and I've been thrilled with it since dial-in, but one thing be... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass Day 3 with the REL Carbon Special and I am finally smiling! It started with some frustration because I couldn't quickly make it disappear. I was up from my seat nearly every track to adjust the crossover and/or gain. I am still confounded by the p... | |
| Tube or R-2R DAC for Tube System @jsal3689 and others with Denafrips Terminator experience, I am about to home audition the Merging+NADAC. I am wondering why I'm not seeing it mentioned in most DAC chains? Do any of you have experience with the Merging? I am wondering what I may ... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass @james633 I would have doubled-up if I didn't have so many more gaps to fill. I can always double-up later. I still need a streaming solution, maybe different speaker cabling, etc. I have an electrician coming out on Monday to run a few dedicated ... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass Pulled the trigger on the REL Carbon Special. This is after a few more days of back and forth with REL, more videos and reading than I care to admit. Almost went with the 212/sx, but it might be too much for my room. I know it's not two subs or a ... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass @james633 I reached out to REL regarding their pairing tool's recommendation of the S/812 and to get their thoughts on going with a pair of lower model subs. They have articles using the Sopra 3 as a real world example and they have photos of Sopr... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass Update: My finger is on the purchase button for a REL Carbon Special. It will be $4,248.94 shipped. Everything is sounding great, but I know I will never get what a sub or array of subs will deliver. Even after hours of enjoyable listening, I head... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass @mikeyg I am entering a phase of home auditions, which will absolutely take your advice into consideration. I almost pulled the trigger on Silversmith Audio's Fidelums off of eBay, but have learned the hard way that home auditions are paramount at... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass Put the first three hours on my new McIntosh MA12000 and I'm happy to report better bass over the MA9000, but while noticeable better it is still not "there" (unless I'm standing about three feet from the front line, on center). My audio rack is i... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass Minor updates. My McIntosh MA12000 arrived today. I bring it home tomorrow. The power company (Eversource) performed a quality test yesterday and things look good from the street to the meter. I need to hire an electrician to check things on the i... | |

| Rose Hifi Network Streamer RS150 @bkmaxey Did you ever order the Rose RS150? I've been reading and watching as much as possible and it seems legit and a possible game changer at its price point. I am now looking for some actual user feedback. | |
| To Stream or not to Stream @ronboco I don't think I ever said I didn't like it? I love and HIGHLY recommend it. It is the best integrated amp I've heard to-date. Period. It's just that at its price point I wanted more in terms of features and the McIntosh integrated had it ... | |
| To Stream or not to Stream @lalitk +1 question to @itsjustme. Would love to know the configuration.@griff69 The Auralic is also on my list. Thank you.[ Warning: niave question ahead! ]I like the idea of leveraging currency exchange rates to either pay less (Canada, Australi... | |
| To Stream or not to Stream @itsjustme Funny, I found Hans a few days ago on YouTube and have watched at least 9 of his videos. After midnight here... more ground covered, knowledge tucked-away, closer to something. Tomorrow, actually later today I have consulting phone call... |
