The Matsushita's I ended up staying with are 7DJ8's. I have tried the BHK 250 with the Modwright LS-100, Sonic Frontier Line 2 SE+, the BHK preamp and the Supratek Chardonnay... | |
| Kinki studio EX-M1, EX-M1+ differences... vs Denafrips Hestia/ Hyperion combo? @regismc Two my ears with multiple speakers the Kinki house sound is pretty much neutral and allows the character of the particular speaker in use to set the tone.

He may in fact have some models that have... | |

MitchIf you haven’t already you might want to consider doing the transformer upgrade as that might make you even more satisfied with the current DS Sr. Even though mine has been replaced in the main system by the Aqua La Voce S3 and then the May K... | |
| any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with The alternative to the Lumin T2 with the same quality build and sound quality would be the Auralic Altair G1. Both are vastly superior to the D series which I have own ed and both use ESS chipsets. Both are very favorably reviewed by reviewers an... | |

| Streamer Advice / Recommendation for Denafrips R2R DAC @pmreagan2 As long as you realize that for good two channel sound you need to do all three then do it in whatever order is easiest for you. Finding used Denafrip's DAC's or current Auralic streamers used is not a common and when they do show up t... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread If you have two different power supplies that hum exactly alike then your issue is either power or grounding related. Try lifting one at a time the ground on the preamp and the amp. What amp are you using the Supratek with? | |
