Need some help- Speaker choice for Schiit Aegir+ Freya+
I love the Aegir (in mono), maybe the JBL HDI-3800 would work well being a fairly efficient speaker.  
Schiit Aegir
Just got my Aegir Mono's and am very surprised. I like them a lot. Maybe it's just that I got an entire new system that sounds very different then what I'm used to, but the Aegir's in mono with my LS50 high and low passed to a KEF KF92 powered by ... 
What’s your latest high-end audio purchase?
Wanted a garage system... And can’t stop smiling as I listen to CD’s I haven’t touched in years! @sgreg1 grabbed the Gustard R26 also!... Always wanted to try a R2R DAC (box checked). Also bought my first Schiit gear. Like it more then I thought ... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@dbb "EKG if someone has an irregular heart rhythm without using a stethoscope to hear it with our own ears." I basically said on ASR... Said person with arrythmia can also run faster, jump higher and lift more weight then person without arrythmi... 
JBL L100 Amplifier Recommendations
Yeah... I mainly got it for more tone controls and the XLR connection MC phono tags with DSP for my Teac TT with XLR outs. I have the Benchmark HPA4 that I also use as a preamp. The ADC of the SU-R1000 does add something to the overall sound that... 
JBL L100 Amplifier Recommendations
Wow... Well... 1. JBL L100's with SU-G700 and dual 12b's, X26 Pro DAC and it was good. 2. JBL L100's with SU-G700 and single Azur 851w power amp, dual 12b's, X26 Pro DAC and it was better. 3.JBL L100's with SU-R1000 and dual 12b's, X26 Pro DAC ... 
Crutchfield Customer Service
100% I love Crutchfield, just another reason why I do. Nothing but amazing customer service.  
Need Center and Surrounds to Match Focal Sopra 3
I've ordered my Sopra 3's and am starting the construction of a listening room, I was toying around with a 7.4.2 Atmos set up since I have the Sopra's and sub's and have open studs with nothing really stopping me. Honestly 3D music is probably my ... 
How do you make a final decision on a DAC
2nd @lordmelton would have my vote at that level or Holo Spring 3KTE If you're thinking Terminator+... That's not a bad choice either from what 've heard.  
My upgrade
Dual sub's are something near and dear to my heart. Pick a sub that you subjectively like "just because", and then a sub that technically comes across as a top tier option given your price range. Audition them both and see what your ears think.  
Axpona 2022
I hadn't seen the Focal Kanta No 3 in person. I really liked them, but was most impressed with the Alta Audio Adams. I 100% agree imaging and bass are it's most immediately impressive features.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@kairosman agreed with your "measurements cult" comments. I whole heartedly believe that old technology used to measure new technology still leaves some grey areas where unexplained occurrences, where the sum total of measurements is eclipsed by t... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@kairosman I completely agree. The 005 has been incredibly impressive, and although the Tambaqui I'm enjoying a lot now, the cost vs diminishing return on this DAC is something most couldn't justify (I'm okay with it to a point). I have to say th... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@turcoda the DAC is Amazing... Get your laptop squared away (preferably ditch your laptop entirely). @lordmelton is 100% right with his troubleshooting advice. Man knows his stuff. Don't get discouraged the 005 is well worth the 3k price (double... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@lordmelton @laoman  I just hooked up and listen to my Tambaqui today for about 30 minutes after letting it heat up on my amp. Not that I can say anything definitive other then I really like it. Haven't A/B tested the 005 with it, but right out of...
