| Dallas (Fort Worth) Audiophile Club - we meet every month or every other month I can ask the crew but I won’t be there due to work conflict | |
| DCS Vivaldi stacks vs Esoteric Grandioso G1, D1, P1 stacks We have an audio club in Dallas, we compared Esoteric K03x against an Emm Labs Dac2x, the Dac2x was significantly better. We had all listeners convert to Emm. The Esoteric was put on the market. | |
| Dallas Audio Club I run a local audiophile group. I made a new thread. | |
| PS Audio Power Plants I had the P5, at first I thought it improved my sound, especially during low level listening. Then as I turned it up, I realized it did something:It made things sound flat and restricted. I was used to the singer floating forwards towards me as ... | |
| Anyone tried a Mark Levinson 585 integrated amp with Focal Sopra No. 1s or Sopra No. 2s I have heard the 585 and I could have told you it was an honest integrated and it won’t warm things up for you. The dac section is a weak component I believe, it did not even come close to the esoteric k03x we had that night much less the emm lab... | |
| What's your investment threshold? I have Audioquest WELs 8ft speaker wire and four power cords plus AQ Wind interconnect.it is about 2x the retail of my speakers so it would appear my percentage lies around 35% of my system.i didn’t plan it, just turned out that way | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? Impressive set up, symmetric and beautiful. The 802d3 is the jewel.i told you no subs required once I saw the room, I was right.once all settles, only a couple things left to play with.i would suggest speaker wire change, interconnect change, and... | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? So when’s the speaker coming Bryce? | |
| Focal No.2 Speaker System: A New Age Dawns I might jumpship and add this to my collection... | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? System is pretty good at this time, still a few bits and pieces and the room to complete with regards to acoustic treatments up front. The Boulder 2060 is superb. But so is the source being Emm Labs Dac2x + TSDx transport. The cabling is fantasti... | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? I believe your concern about subwoofer in addition to the 802D3 is unwarranted. You will be a-ok. Just be aware that the 802D3 bass is clean and quick. I had the 802D2 in my room and the bass was rudimentary by comparison. Also, I own the Olym... | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? Bryce @brycethompsonYou have a very nice room, I see a lot of DWR pieces including the Eames chair and I believe that couch. We have similar couch/sectional in my game room. I've been wanting the Eames as my listening chair but I feel like it's ... | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? You’ll be sufficient w the xa60.8.your main issue remains regarding the bass, yet you have not addressed my previous responses. If you were that worried, you would be better off w the 800 than the 802 plus subs. | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? @brycethomasonyou do know that spending extra on the sub will not yield you a cleaner midrange on the 802d3, right?if you’re this concerned get the 800d3 | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? You can read other people’s theories on the 802d3 or listen to one mans actual in-depth experience.if you are questioning the need for a sub with the 802d3, get the 800d3.the price delta is similar to 2 good subs. And you won’t have to worry abou... |
