| Help me spend $6000 Refnoise, Yes the AZ club did put on the infamous "DAC It Out" in Aug 2019. I was not the person in charge. What was your take on it? | |
| Current Pass integrateds? I have had a Pass INT25 for 18 months now. It is not going anywhere. Other Amps I have tried- Carey 120 MK2, LSA Voyager Ganfet. The thing is well built and well protected. Made in CA. More money but you soon forget that outlay and enjoy the mu... | |
| Help me spend $6000 I saw a pair listed yesterday on the Mart. Did you buy those? | |
| SpeakerFest 2022 Scheduled for Saturday August 27th 10am-4pm Fountain Hills, Arizona Who would not want to be in Phoenix end August?? The facility is very well cooled so please come if you can. Those joining the club that day will get admission on us! | |
| Help me spend $6000 Are you looking for ideas or just killing time? The INT 25 means you should find 8ohm speakers with a 90+ sensitivity rating. If you sit near field the room means less. Come to our club's event August 27th and audition 16 speakers. Standmounts... | |
| Your experience in "in their day" brands/components that you remember foundly? Islandman, Whose 1st system is Tannoys? Back in 1972 I bought a Marantz 33 Preamp, Model 120 Tuner, Phase Linear 400 Amp, ARXA Table, and- drum roll- Bose 901s. 3 months later I unloaded the 901s And bought a kit from SpeakerLab- Cornerhorn kn... | |
| Euro Tumble Go visit the country where the speaker is made. Buy a used pair recently made. Bring them home. Duty is minimal. | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One Mike, Love that track. The amazing cinematography and that track. I met Tom 3 weeks back at the 50th Reunion. I am coming back to volunteer for the PNW Audio Fest. Hope to see you there. | |
| New High End Audio Dealer in Midwest Great to hear someone with the b-lls to open Brick and Mortar HiFi! I visited an audiophile friend last Sept in Minneapolis. We toured the ARC factory and visited 4 retailers in the area. I was very impressed with 3 of the 4 stores. The blind g... | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES Amen anza! | |
| For those that have separate Streamers & DACS Troy Boys, Good to know you found Innuos to be the best SQ. I bought one with: -No DAC -Rips -Stores To me that is the simplest solution. I shopped 2 years back and got a new one for $2,200. Zen 3. I stopped in at Axpona and looked at... | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES For all who use the Innuos/Roon/Qobuz combo as I do try comparing SQ of the above vs Innuos Sense-i.e Roon off. It is free if you have not tried it. Go to my.innuos.com and turn off Roon. Perhaps other makers besides Innuos have a similar opti... | |
| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) Either a Pass Labs INT25 of something similiar from Luxman. Both produce great sound. I do like the sound of Pass Labs. | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES Okay let's stir the pot. 1. Roon Software degrades SQ 2. Spotify and Apple sound better than Qobuz or Tidal 3. MQA is a waste of time 4. A Streamer without a Ripper and Storage is not a smart buy. 5. Tapping into a good source of new music i... | |
| Speakers known for great midrange. 30.2's, AudioNote Hemp, Spendor 1/2s, Have enjoyed them. Not syrupy though. I think what you are looking for is a resonant cabinet design. I have a pair of old Spendors with my INT25. |
