| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? Another for Fritz. I’ve auditioned several other stand mounts that cost 3-4 times as much and have not heard anything better, at least not enough to justify the cost. They do everything well, particularly for the music I listen to most often. | |
| Downsize from C2200/MC275 to integrated SS Coda CSiB if you like the class A sound mixed with class A/B power. Maybe the McIntosh MA12000 with tube pre and SS amp since you already have McIntosh and like the sound. | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade I’d lean towards the Coda given you liked the Pass with the Fritz. The 312 is phenomenal but, since it’s A/B only, might not be what you’re looking for. At 300 watts it might be a better long term fit if you’re concerned about power and less eff... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade MC462 or MC312 or one of the previous versions of those two. I have an MA8900 I run with my Fritz. I listen to rock often and it sounds outstanding to me. This pairing sounds excellent, imho, with all music genres in general, but excels with ro... | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? @mulveling I think you hit on something. AI is not yet capable of building out a highly decoupled, n-tier application. All of the work prompting the bot to give you what you want is time wasted that could be spent on actually building it yoursel... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade What I found listening to other speakers is exactly what @erik_squires suggests, different but definitely not better. And not different enough to justify the price, at least to me. I can’t stress enough to go listen first if you can. I went loo... | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? Interesting article https://www.techspot.com/news/108651-experienced-developers-working-ai-tools-take-longer-complete.html I use AI as another tool in my work as a software architect for things I’m trying to learn about or understand. It usuall... | |
| Need to get off of bluetooth.... looking for a wifi streamer for my budget I used Soundiiz to export from Tidal and import to Qobuz. There was a little legwork on my part as not all the titles aligned completely but it worked seamlessly for at least 98% of content on all my playlists. It will import from Apple to both ... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade that is a dramatic upgrade sound wise I have Fritz Rev 7 SEs and this is the single issue that has prevented me from “upgrading” speakers. I have heard the Pulsar Graphenes and they are great but I wouldn’t say they are a dramatic upgrade. ... | |

| Looking for a more up-to-date streamer Within the last two days I have been researching the Volumio Rivo+ with an external LPS. I really like what I’ve read and watched about it so far. Seems like 90-95% of what the Aurender N200 offers but at a third of the price. For its price and... | |
| Moon 861 amp with a McIntosh C12000 preamp - do I set the switch to ac or dc on the Moon? I don’t know of your preamp having issues with outputting DC, generally speaking. If you’re really concerned you can measure the DC output with a multimeter across the output terminals with the preamp on but no output signal playing. I would thi... | |
| innuos pulse compared to denafrips gaia 12th I had an issue with my Hermes within the past month and Denafrips was exceedingly responsive. They had me check a couple things out myself and then sent me an RMA via email. The issue resolved itself, still not sure how, but I chatted with TekAu... | |
| Buyer Beware Haven’t read all the posts and I’m sure this is not the first time you’ll read this but you bought used. And not from the vendor. Caveat emptor like your posts states. He did offer a discount on new ones though which I think is pretty fair. | |
