| Upgrade advice from Parasound P5/A23 combo to an integrated amp solution? Kinki EX-M1 | |
| Music Reference RM 10/Reference 3aMM Just be careful that moving from a Focal Be tweeter to a Reference 3A Be doesn't turn out to be a lateral move. If you find the Be tweeter sound to be "scratchy" then moving to another tweeter style would be a safer swap and depending on your budg... | |
| Music Reference RM 10/Reference 3aMM I have owned an RM-10 for going on 20 years and it is one piece I will never sell but with that said the RM-10 is not your "euphonic" tube amp. I have found it over the years to be pretty much neutral as is the case with all of RM's amps. Not su... | |
| Which Preamp Would You Choose? The SWL 9's are SE only so not for him would need to be an LS-100. | |
| Suggestions for a top flight streamer/Dac around the $2000 mark? With Auralic releasing the new G1 Altair the end of this month at $2700 Upscale and several other dealers have the original version on sale. Kevin had some for $1649 new | |
| Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC If you are in the EU or UK you might want to look for a used Aqua La Voce. The S2 version is even warmer than the S3. | |
| Suggestions for a top flight streamer/Dac around the $2000 mark? If you want a streamer that also has DAC inputs then your best bet is the Teac NT-505 which works on the Lumin operating system. I've owned one for almost a year and a half and it works and sounds great. The other options in this price range lik... | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? There is a list of the companies with compatible software on Amazon's website. They haven't released an API to anyone other than those companies. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Here's my two cents from owning the Chardonnay for a little over a month and the BHK for over two years plus having several friends that have owned the Micro-Zotl preamps. First from every report I have heard from owners I know the LTA is on the c... | |
| Old Legendary tubes vs New Kids on the block Amperex/Siemens/Tele vs Psvane/TAD/Shugaung You guys can keep that overpriced Chinese junk and I will stick with my stash of NOS tubes purchased two decades ago. They will outlast me and my grand kids. The "gimmick" 6SN7 tubes are a joke as are most of their other "reproduction" tubes. | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain Cell DAC vs DirectStream Dac vs DirectStream Dac Jr. The Jr. has been discontinued for over a year so not an option unless used and the SGCDand the DS Sr.are not even close and for the price difference are not supposed to be. With your current living and family situation be happy with what you have. | |
| New Buchardt S400 Signature JoeThey needed to be cranked up to sound their best to me which is why I sent them back and moved on to the Fritz Carrera Be. Where I was going to use them that wouldn't have worked. This is the same conclusion Srajen came to in his review that Ma... | |
| Great Qobuz streamer. Upgrade from Bluesound Node 2 It and Tidal are embedded in the MControl software along with Deezer, vTuner annd Spotify. | |
| Need recommendations on stand mount speakers Fritz Speakers. Call Fritz on the phone and talk to him about the sound you are looking for but the newer Carbon 7 Mk.II should fit the bill. I have the Carrera Be's and love them. | |
| Time to move UP, speaker-wise... @listening99 I have never owned a pair of Tekton's but have listened to two different models at a friends house. I was not enamored with the sound and certainly not with the looks but that is my opinion and yours could be different but I wouldn't... |
