| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay Denafrips has certainly been "the" DAC for the last two or three years. It might be fact of the sheer number of them in the field but there always seems to be an abundance of used models for sale. I'm trying the Mhdt Orchid which is quite a pl... | |
| It’s true what they say/and a question Yep, Marcin is a tremendous player. I have CD’s/hard drives of his work. He also plays with Manu Katche band. Both artists are on ECM which are always great recordings. Soix, if you’re a drummer you may know of Katche who is an unbelievable drumme... | |
| DAC upgrade from RME Indeed it does but still comes off as strident. And while I do favor detail it comes with too much sharpness. And while I may be considered a simpleton I find the menu system extremely frustrating to use. And yes I am considering a couple pieces o... | |
| DAC upgrade from RME I have added a LHT linear power supply to the RME . It may have added a bit of weight but it wasn't a revelation. | |
| DAC upgrade from RME Thanks guys. Any users/samplers of the Audio Mirror Tubadour(s)? They seem highly appreciated and I’ve dealt with Vlad in the past. Owned both his 20 and 45 watt single ended amps and still own his older T-61 preamp. Great CS. Soix - I agree abo... | |
| DAC upgrade from RME Thanks - I’d prefer a higher end unit which would mean used. I forgot to mention Audio Mirror in my search. Tubadour 3 preferably 4. I can’t see spending more than $3K, three and a half max max. I’ve seen two Mojo’s that fall there. Thanks | |
| Used tube preamp $2-3K I’ve certainly given thought on Audio Research but I get lost with their many models. And the need to have tube replacement done at the factory seems extreme. Assuming this applies to preamps as it does their power amps. Don Sachs pieces seem to... | |
| Used tube preamp $2-3K Thank you Gents. Aric is a builder I have noted and corresponded with in the past. Good idea. My Audio Mirror uses small Russian signal tubes like a 6n1p or the like. It is not based around the 6922. Model is T61 I believe. | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Esoteric F-01, Esoteric F-02 or Dan D'Agostino Progression Wow. So now we’re buying/recommending Hi-Fi gear on the makers political views? I imagine if your favorite US based speaker maker farms his manufacturing to China that’s an automatic “do not buy”? To which I ask - do you carry a smart phone? | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? Having owned nearly every model in the Klipsch Heritage lineup and today with a pair of LaScala and what has become known as “underground Jubilee” in house I find it hard to accept saying a speaker is horn loaded when the woofer remains a ported d... | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem Audio Mirror / 45 watt single ended monoblocks using 2x 6c33 per block. Used can be found for $2 - 3K. Good used value, sound fantastic and great customer service from Vlad. | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Tekton needs to sell but four pair of $30k speakers to bring in over $100k in revenue vs. 50-60 pair of $1500-2000 speakers. As much a business decision as an all out assault on world class engineering - | |
| Acceptable to ask seller for option to return a component? Everything said above. I always tell my wife as I negotiate any major purchase- the worst thing that can happen is they say “no”. | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder I'm confused, or curious, with terms such as hash, grain, black background etc. Through horns at 103 to 105 db my rig is quiet as a church mouse, as a graveyard, blacker than an Indigo inkwell. Or so I hear, or don't hear it being this way. ... | |
| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers Newer Klipsch LaScala or KHorns. KHorns tuck into a corner away from child and dog traffic. And LaScala - if you have a dog or child that is able to budge them from their position I’d be training the kids for NFL linebacker status and dog for seri... |
