| USB CD Transports Saw the Schiit Urd and looked very interesting, need to read up on it, but I too have a spot in my heart for my massive CD collection and have ripped them all onto my Innuos, so gonna do some serious A/B comparison once my Teac 701t 70th with cloc... | |
| New Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks just released!!! @christianb5s4 wow Coda 16 is incredible. Was considering a Coda myself, but not the 16. I got a screening deal on my JC1+ direct from Parasound after they used the amps at a show. So new essentially, but absolute not new pricing. When I was talki... | |
| New Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks just released!!! @christianb5s4 Kanta... Nice, yeah I wouldn't feel too compelled. Honestly the price difference of a JC5 to JC1+ being 7-10k... I would invest elsewhere (sub's/DAC) I did all of the above, DAC, amps, sub's, speakers, cables and power conditioner. ... | |
| New Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks just released!!! @christianb5s4 Well I have a completely different system now and a new house, and I'm gonna be completing a tube based system end of month. But as far as the JC1+ go... I have them paired with my Focal Sopra No.3 in a large (18'x52') room. As ... | |
| Questions on Dedicated 20 amp home wiring @carlsbad2 is spot on, and I agree with him. New to Hifi, and conveniently renovating a house I had multiple 20amp breakers, with 12ga copper wire (whole house was actually 12ga) with audio grade outlets put in. I think I had 4 outlets for my mai... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 I have both the T+A 200 and Mola Mola Tambaqui. I'm still early in my evaluation of the T+A 200, but I can say without question it's bass presentation is quite substantial. I had to dial down my sub's by about 10% to quell the overwhelming boomy ... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui @lordmelton your praise of the 005 ultimately pushed me to get it and I thank you. Innuos Zenith MK3 with Phoenix Reclocker and Ethernet Switch, Wireworld Platinum Starlight USB cable. My clipping issue is most likely within the SU-R1000 used as... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui @fastfreight So I was mistaken... My MMT only clips at 6v, 2v is fine and 0.6v also. I do appreciate the volume adjustment help. Do you think it would be of benefit to run that MMT at 6v and reduce the volume to avoid clipping? I'm just kind of p... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui @fastfreight wow! Some very good info! Gonna give it a try! | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui @chauve I’m still in love the MMT, and have side by side by side in front of me the MMT, T+A 200, Musetec 005 (but not in I2s as I historically have listened to the 005). My close friend has the Holo May and I loaned out my MMT to him, we did some... | |
| Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source @ervikingo Hope your hum is still a non-issue. I'm anxiously awaiting the delivery of my first tube monoblock amps. I had a hum issue with my solid state amps, even with all new electric dedicated 20amp lines and audio grade outlets. Thank god a... | |
| My Final System Build in Words & Pictures What an excellent post and thank you so much for sharing all that. Really such a cool process and you have to be enjoying yourself more than just about any other person who just grabs something and starts listening. That's sweat equity is going to... | |
| Integrated suggestions @infection Why not AR i50? Seems right up your alley and in your wheelhouse price wise... Maybe Canor Virtus i2 40/20wpc class A. I would go with the Canor which just debuted at Munich, but 7k. Good luck and happy Hunting | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @yyzsantabarbara I honestly feel that 005 outshines the R26 in center imaging and sound field width and dept (more holographic). They're both very detailed sounding DAC's, and I don't critically listen along the lines of teasing out which one is... | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? @grislybutter I go by... 1. Have I heard it and like it, with amplification I’m familiar with? 2. Looks, do I think it looks good? 3. Porting and placement, where will it (can it) go? 4. Specs last for me. I have worried in the past about r... |
