| Integrated that blew you away For me, the integrated i like most is the Gryphon diablo 333 I am a Pass guy with their Power amps, and heard the Int 60, but the 333 is a class of its own | |
| Finally heard Accuphase I was at the show too and heard the accuphase line as presented by commonwealth Hifi. I will Not say that they sound bad, BUT it did not sound phenomenal. IMO, they sound as same as most of the vendors at the show. YUP, it does have a steep price.... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? IMO, I don't think there is a "ROON" house sound. I'm in the camp that bits are bits Being a ROON user for several years, I did have the chance to switch hardware around (Macs, then dedicated streamer) and all resulted in a change in sound, Howev... | |

| ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else I forgot to add.. I also owned another class AB amp that is pretty much a good implementation of AB. that is Benchmark AHB2 and truly it sounds amazing. However, once you experience a good Class A implementation as you and i have experienced, o... | |
| ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else I believe that just being Class A is not the complete solution, it's both the designer and their implementation of Class A that counts. My Amp is a Class A Pass lab and that sounds superb to me. i had heard some CLASS A implementations a Chinese a... | |
| What does your DAC sound like I got the Denafrips Venus2 12th (R2R) which i got a couple of years ago, is still my got to DAC. It sounds analog like to me as compared to my previous Chord QuTest and I find it better to my taste as compared to the Holo Dac KTE. The Holo Dac i... | |
| Subwoofer Phase Control In my experience, this feature really helped me integrate my REL (some of their models have phase control) in a high passed speaker setup that I have. what I saw (using REW) was that Phase control removed the "dip" at the integration frequency o... | |
| Bass Traps OP, I also observed the same effect you had experience (lower sub output) and i think, based on what i saw on REW, the amount of low frequency reflections seems to drop with the bass traps installed. what i like most is that bass definition beca... | |
| Acoustics experts - a little help please To OP As posted above, the recording must have the sense of depth and height. IMO, if the recording has the sense and you know it but cannot hear that, then i think it must be your speakers?? What i have observed is that I have a set of speaker... | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? i owned in the past Kef Ls50 which i believe are good bookshelf speakers and I also heard the Mofi source point 888 for floor stander. price points are entry level and great sound. | |
| Feedback on Costco & Amazon sound absorption panels from folks who have purchased them. I tried a few from amazon and it "seemed' like it works. it dampens the subs resonance. BUT it does have the effective impact as compare to GiK or ATS panels that i use for the most part. | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations to the OP I own the PassXa25 and drives the 2nd pair of ATC SCM19 to satisfying levels, even if the specs dont seem to jive. so with that said, i say, look into the Pass X260.8 power amps for your SCM150 for Preamp, i highly recommend the LINEA... | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? to the OP. i think that your analog rig is below par as compared to your digital front end. I was in the same boat as you a few years ago and now, i beleive that my analog is on par with my digital. Just one advise first... your source vinyl play... | |
| Picking a power amp OP Klipsh speakers are nice and you seem to be eyeing them. they sound great and sensitive so most amps will work with them, even if they are bit low powered TUBE. as others have posted, listen to them first. but if you need to take leap of f... |
