| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @chriszponder What horns did you buy and why do you consider them a mistake? JH | |
| Preamp Recommendations For the Parasound JC 5 Amp I have an SPL Director which has a DAC in it. The model without the DAC is called Elector. They sound really good on my SS amp. Here is the review Teajay did on it. http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/sound-performance-lab-spl-elector-preamp--perform... | |
| I want more bass… Wait!! I had the XA25 and it produced a lot of bass. It was more resolving then the First Watt amp I had but the lack of bass is not the XA25 IMHO. I hope to get one back again someday. JH | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey but...the most important thing is the journey! I have had so much fun thinking, reading reviews, asking questions and listening. I have been through quite a bit of equipment in the past 3 years as OP but it was just a blast to think and add thi... | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC Here is the link to Bircasti review. http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/bricasti-design-m3-dac-by-terry-london I think Delta Sigma and R2R can sound amazing. It is really a journey to what sounds good to you and the music you like. I fall on the s... | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC I have the U2 mini and it is a great streamer. I have a Reimyo DAC that is a ladder dac and only does 44.1. I love that DAC. I have a SPL Director Pre-amp which also has a DAC that runs hi-res files. I can't hear any diff in hi-res vs 44.1. T... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? Thank you. It's eye opening how good and how not good equipment can sound depending on the synergy of all the components. The guy who sold these to me didn't know they were a coax driver! As I think I said they don't sound good on my DK Design ... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? Got it and did it make a significant diff? Did you modify the cabinets? Thanks | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? Wow small world. If you don't mind can you tell me where you got the cross over? I have NSMT 100's so thinking of just using these as they are and take them with me when I travel for a month at a time. I am stunned at how they sound with my SPL ... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? Hi I just picked up Hsu coax driver speakers $300 used, and holy smokes they are amazing. The reason is because I found synergy using $15K worth of electronics. I have another amp that cost me $800 but has tubes and the Hsu speakers do NOT sound ... | |
| Audio Note Amplifier Kits Thank you for the invite! I started reading your thread and love the idea of upgrading a kit but was lost quickly. I just got a Frame from Independent Fabrication in steel that I built up. I have a Giant TCR with the integrated seat post that ... | |
| Audio Note Amplifier Kits @jaytor I also got a 404 error when I clicked on your system link to check it out. FYI jh | |
| Audio Note Amplifier Kits @jaytor What bike are you on in your pic? thanks for the info! I want to build an amp. I am very handy and have built wood chairs but I don't know about electricity. Would you recommend an amp kit like bottle head or something to read? ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Here are a couple of facts. Steve Huff said he would never sell his Heresy speakers. SOLD He gushed about the Denefrips Pontus DAC saying it was the best he had heard. Not using it. I think hearing is the only way to go. | |
| Audio Note Amplifier Kits I get the fun and creative outlet of a DIY but has anyone heard real AN and compared to ANK kits? I got my first hybrid amp and am loving the tube influence in the sound. Love this stuff jh |
