| Jay’s Audio CDT3-MK3 wins over Aurender W20SE @brandonhifi I too am of the opinion that stored AIFF/FLAC/WAV sound better then my streaming source (Innuous ZenithMK3 w Phoenix; stored vs streamed). I'd also lean towards a good CD transport doing the same set against streaming. | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube Randy is fun to watch, I like him as more audio tongue in cheek entertainment, and I do watch a good deal of his videos. He’s kind of like my "Scrubs" of audio review shows. He’s a guilty pleasure that I do find humorous value in, and I know has a... | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? @td_dayton Bandcamp! Wow, you're a better person then I for disabling PayPal... The damage is done and I'm not salvageable. | |
| Poorer sound stage and bass impact, Focal Scala Utopia Evo vs Focal Sopra N3??? @pg99 you may have just saved me a Hifi system (thank you). I was really on the fence about ditching my mid tier system to splurge on the Evo (as opposed to the N3 I already ordered). I was blown away by the N3 in person, however not hearing firs... | |
| 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. |
