| Eversolo DMP A6 i have the master, it (and the basic one) are very good performing units in my experience -- worthy of the hype as high value streamers, well built, good looking... very very very competitive sector... | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. M40.2 vs. M40.2 Anniversary Edition vs. M40.3XD @audio_bidder I read in one review of the XD, that they are much more “tube friendly” than previous iterations. i wouldn’t think so... the differences, if any, are minute my sense is that alan shaw has become quite a shameless spin-meister i... | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. M40.2 vs. M40.2 Anniversary Edition vs. M40.3XD i would agree with paul/@pdreher -- in my experience as well, the 40.1 to 40.2 update was a substantive change, much moreso than the ones after the 40.2 (which are largely cosmetic and marketing driven, imo, with trivial sonic impact...) i think ... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing I wonder if your final 3 would have changed if did not have a preference for a volume control? this is a fair question, which deserves a thoughtful answer... this and the earlier question about ’best bang for buck’ dacs... i am in a busy str... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Would you mind commenting on the differences between two units still in your possession, the Weiss DAC501-4ch and the Chord Electronics Hugo TT2 / M Scaler combo that are in the same price range? tonally, the scaler/hugo tt2 sounds very very si... | |
| Cullen Cable good to know @milpai i thought patrick cullen would work out there as his dad rick does (or did, at least, as of a year or so ago) | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. M40.2 vs. M40.2 Anniversary Edition vs. M40.3XD to the good point raised by @noromance important take here... https://highfidelity.pl/@main-1106&lang=en i would concur that these two are the pinnacle of this type/size of speaker | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. M40.2 vs. M40.2 Anniversary Edition vs. M40.3XD @donquichotte sorry, i lied... :) i never had the 40.2 anniversary model... i had the original 40’s, then 40.1. then 40.2, then 40.3xd (the anniversary series are identical to the .3xd sonically except the badging, the model designation was cha... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? i agree this thread has pretty much run its course and the juvenile idiocy displayed here has been quite unpleasant (that sad character, with over 2000 posts - most rude and insulting - in less than two years 'since joining' is absurd, bordering ... | |
| Harbeth 40.3 XD + Ton Trager First Impressions @jjss49 I’m not surprised the RW and TT’s were similar - the geometry and build quality are similar, with the TTs having a slight edge esthetically IMO. Last night’s listening session was almost surreal while sitting in the sweet-spot. Do you l... | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. M40.2 vs. M40.2 Anniversary Edition vs. M40.3XD i have had every iteration if you are coming from wilson audio sashas, i suggest you go for the xd’s/40 annos (which are sonically identical) | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @zigstien thank you for chiming in and posting a system we long timers have a different attitude when it comes this site | |
| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio i like the tuneful/belden cables nice story here, after the beloved listener and stereophile reviewer art dudley passed, i saw his daughter listing various of his hifi items, and one item i bought from her was his pair of these plain brown tunefu... | |
| Tube microphonics Here's another tidbit of audio nervosa; never mover tube gear warm, it must be totally cooled down first. To do otherwise is to invite the tubes to become microphonic! and this is why i have daily deliveries of dry ice!!! 😂🤣😆😃 | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing I did not really understand what sound you were looking for to select a DAC. Many DACs you tried were of the same design. when i started out in jan 2020, i wanted to see what streaming was about, get it working, see how good it might sound my ... |
