| Whats playing on your system today? Palomar Parade - Sons of the East Some lovely tunes in there. Bit of folk rock. Just melodic sound and well recorded. | |
| Ethernet connection for best sound quality Somewhere in this thread some wellmeaning ignoramus said "you don’t need a dedicated streamer (vs a PC) for top notch performance". This is laughably false, and even the least trained ear will immediately recognize the sonic difference between th... | |
| Dynaudio Xeo 20 vs KEF LS50 Wireless Just to update my message for anyone interested. Having extensively used LS50, and Xeo 20, and Focus 10 (latest Dynaudio wireless speaker), I'd say with the MCRU Linear Power Supply the Focus 10 is in a whole different league. | |
| Do I need a sub woofer to match my ATC SCM11s Why not just have an ATC subwoofer? | |
| Dac that has tone and timing? Heard no real difference between my RME ADI-2 Pro, which I tried to "upgrade" to T+A 200 DAC + PreAmp. Both are DAC+preamp, which is necessary for me. People’s mileage may vary. My speakers in question are Dynaudio Focus 20 (active), and the sourc... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Guys and gals - when mentioning a random artist, be kind and mention what genre it is! | |
| streamer Lumin U1 or Aries G2.1 Gerrie- I agree, why Tidal? Spending all that money to use an inferior streaming service when Qobuz is available almost everywhere. If one thought Tidal was bad UX, Qobuz takes the cake. The sound quality is OK - it's loud, not necessarily ... | |
| Best Smaller Bookshelf Speakers For Use Exclusively With Ambient Music? KEF LS50 is what we replaced with S3000 from cheapie chi-fi Edifier, and our mind is blown. We find ourselves gravitating to this hidden gem more than our much more expensive Accuphase / Dynaudio Contour setup in the living room upstairs. | |
| New KEF R11 META : The Real Giant Killers ! Nothing from this salesy "reviewer" makes sense. Everything is amazing. Meta 11 are ok for large rooms where gigantic speakers are OK. Even there, I'd recommend Reference 1 Meta at that price range. Or just go Dynaudio Focus 50. | |
| Top two most important sound qualities Tonality, clarity, sound staging/imaging. In that order. | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? If you’re lusting after Japanese refinement in the sound, look for Accuphase E-480 upwards. You’ll forget Macs and their "meaty bass, but blanket-over-high-end" American sound that others here have pointed out. Macs are more bling than refined sou... | |
| upgrade Dynaudio Special 40 to Kef Reference 1 Lose the amp and other paraphernalia, and listen to Dynaudio Core 59 or Genelec 8351B in your space. Both are active pro-grade models, and excellent at what they do. For modern living rooms or bedrooms in apartments, these will be hard to beat, at... | |
| Considering moving to separates with a tube preamp-appreciate recommendations Hegel 390 is an excellent integrated. Your issue, as has been pointed out, is Dynaudio Evoke 50. That's their second from bottom lineup. Stop trying to fix the preamp etc and adding more clutter in pursuit of a delusion. Look at better speakers, i... | |
| WHEN DID YOU FINALLY STOP... With a simple speaker system that brings joy to my ears. Dynaudio Focus 30, with Limetree Lindemann streamer. | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Si tu me laisses - Nicolas Michaux Booth Love - Umphrey's McGee Mumbo Jumbo - Brent Lewis |
