| Choose between McIntosh MA9000 used vs MA8950 new The 8950 has the same DA2 dac module as the 9500 and the C53. Not to dissuade you from where you are heading with separates. | |
| Compare preamp of Eversolo a8 vs McIntosh c43 Are you wedded to Apple Music? There are other digital services that are likely much better. Not sure where Apple is at the moment but Tidal and Qobuz are excellent. If you don’t have to have Apple Music you can ditch that, find a streamer that... | |
| Compare preamp of Eversolo a8 vs McIntosh c43 Sell the A8 and get yourself a streamer. Look on the bright side that you found out how much better the C53 is and it is to your liking. | |
| Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver If you like the Atalante 3s but want deeper bass, larger soundstage, better imaging etc you can add a pair of subwoofers to your setup and that should do the trick. You could spend half of what some of the recommendations cost and get excellent s... | |

| Has anyone have experience connecting REL subs to Mola Mola Perca amps, class D I don’t but you can ask REL. I’m sure they would be happy to answer your question. | |
| What are the best subwoofers you have heard for music. Speed, Musicality and integration @jafant i had a sunfire true super jr that I loved. It was such a great sub but it died on me. It got replaced by two RELs. | |
| What are the best subwoofers you have heard for music. Speed, Musicality and integration Having two in my system that integrated very well and fairly easily, I would say using the Speakon high level connection helps tremendously. They get fed the same signal the speakers do. | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment @dekay thanks for cracking the case. I can sleep at night now! | |
| Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver Fritz’s speakers would fit that bill. Joseph Audio Pulsars (both versions) would as well, Harbeth, Dynaudio, and Spendor have been mentioned already. You might consider ATC as well. I’m sure you saw @grislybutter ’s list which is great. You c... | |
| Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver What does high end mean to you? Is there a price point that matters? What are the measurements and specs other than the 7” woofer? What sound signature matters to you? I use Fritz speakers, which use a 7” driver, but I don’t know if you would ... | |
| When I listen to my system....... Hopefully last response to this rabbit hole Once music is recorded/reproduced you leave the world of music and enter the world of music reproduction, which is why we gather in this forum to discuss gear, not performers/performances (unless it is... | |
| When I listen to my system....... @inagroove music is defined as “vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.” There is no requirement that it be live. Your dog analogy represents the distinction... | |
| When I listen to my system....... @inagroove there is no requirement on the definition of music that it applies only to live music. It’s music whether it’s live or recorded. I do agree that there are differences between the two. Among them being that the sound of recorded music... | |
| LAIV Harmony @smweber2 i had a similar experience when I added a Hermes between my streaming source (MacBook pro) and my Pontus II. It made a noticeable difference in all the same areas you mentioned as well as transient response. |
