| Acoustic treatment ideas I use this one https://www.minidsp.com/products/acoustic-measurement/umik-1?lang=en&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD0BHDz4YCwrx3lfwQvA7HhREL_fg&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvM2N_-jWhwMV10b_AR0VUzuGEAAYASAAEgJxpfD_BwE I believe the REW recommends thi... | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? My therapist tells me I have trouble making decisions. You’re making it way too hard and overthinking this. Seems like you’re going to have regrets whichever choice you make. Pick a lane, don’t look back and enjoy your speakers. | |
| Acoustic treatment ideas Glad you got it sorted. $600 is pretty cheap for big improvements. I have a velvet acoustic curtain in my room also that works pretty well. If you have a mic and a laptop you can use software like REW to take some measurements if you’re interes... | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? Can you see and listen to them before purchasing? If not, do you trust what the seller tells you about the condition and how well they were taken care of and how hard they were run? If not, then buy new and don’t look back. @tony1954 makes a good ... | |
| Mcintosh MAC7200 or Hegel H390 for a new pair of Kef R7 META I’ve never heard any Hegel so I can’t speak to them but I do really enjoy my ma8900. If you can, get out and listen to both so you know what you’re getting into. You’re spending a good chunk of money make sure you get what sounds good to you. | |
| Mcintosh MAC7200 or Hegel H390 for a new pair of Kef R7 META @mrbanker32 Sorry I was unclear, the 7200 does not have the 5 band tone controls that the 8950 has. Some like the controls others don’t. I have an 8900 with tone controls and I use them. The receiver is not a bad thing, just depends on whether you... | |
| Mcintosh MAC7200 or Hegel H390 for a new pair of Kef R7 META If it were me I’d spend the extra $1000 and get the 8950 instead of the 7200. I believe the 7200 comes with the DA1 module and the 8950 comes with the DA2. 8950 also has tone controls and no receiver. Either will drive the Kefs no problem. | |

| If Steely Dan had a different vocalist Just listened to one track True Winter and the first thought that came to me was the vocals sound like Paul Simon. Need to listen more to see where it goes. | |
| Have you noticed as your system improves? Sitting here at 12:30am listening at about 45db so my neighbors don’t hate me and I can hear all the details of the songs I’m listening to. Sometimes I even hear new things pop out of songs I’ve listened to many times listening at lower volumes l... | |

| Upgrading to a stand alone DAC There are a few used Denafrips Pontus II 12th units for sale at the moment. They all are in your price range and would give you what you are looking for. You can add the Iris or Hermes DDC later as well which uses the I2S input and increases res... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC @cleeds if you are referring to libel or slander then yes you have first amendment protections against private party suits assuming what you wrote or said is demonstrably true. I finally see the disconnect we were having, I was speaking within t... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC @cleeds not sure what the disconnect here is. I’ve stated that the first amendment only applies to government restrictions not private parties. What you responded with seems to agree with that statement. The government cannot make any law t... |
