| 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. | |
| Finding a Bookshelf for Luxman C900U/M900U Marten Oscar Duo Marten Parker Duo, although these are pricier than the Oscar you might be able to find something in the used market. | |

| 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... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC @cleeds There is much, much more to the First Amendment than that. It actually has five major pillars. True, my comment was worded poorly, but the point is that it only applies to government restrictions not private parties. And in this cas... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC The First Amendment has no bearing here as this issue is between two private parties. This amendment applies only to government restrictions on speech, specifically Congress shall make no law infringing it. | |
| Small footprint subwoofer If you’re concerned about overwhelming bass I would unreservedly recommend the dual T5/xs then. I have a very small listening space, maybe 10x12 and these subs do not overwhelm. They have wonderfully tight articulate bass that is full but not b... | |
| Acoustic treatment ideas GIK does have acoustic panels you can get on stands. That sounds pretty painful having to move them in and out and needing somewhere to store them. |
