| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @charles1dad, How did your friend's Bricasti M1 SE DAC hold up over the years against the competition? Bricasti uses a rarely used DAC chip yet gets great results. In relation to volume control methods, the Leedh software solution has amazed the ... | |
| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers I agree with YYZ, KEF LS60s plus subs will get closer to Blades, especially in terms of playing loud and scaling larger. | |
| Acora speakers at Axpona I've had the SRC-2s in my medium size room, 13x20, and they will expose problems in your supporting gear, they are not bright just accurate. They will surprise you with low end extension and impact. The entire Acora lineup is so good they can be m... | |
| Traveling to Mentor Ohio - anyone close by?? My Uncle and his family lived at Mentor on the Lake. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @benzman, Maybe the Lumin P-1 would be a good replacement for the Cary? It even has Ethernet optical input standard. | |
| Who actually heard the Infinity IRS? @erik_squires, The room was large but the IRS fired into a glass bay window 10' wide, the townhome was an 1800s structure, when deep bass notes hit the floor rippled from the woofer towers, a fun ride! | |
| Who actually heard the Infinity IRS? I was lucky enough to work in a High-End shop, Excalibur, in Olde Towne Alexandria VA and we had IRS Vs in the front room. Many manufacturers used to drop in with their latest creations and see what the microscope of the IRS' told them about their... | |

| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment This is easy, I added a Synergistic Research Ethernet switch, transformed my all digital system. | |
| Capital Audio Fest Notes @asindc, The smaller Salk speakers use 2 of the new Purifi 6.5" drivers and a Be tweeter, nicknamed BePure. At about $6K/pr they have made competition in the under $10K/pr category much tighter. The BePure's had great deep bass extension and impac... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! @jgueron , try his website, philharmonicaudio dot com, he is Dennis Murphy and has done crossover consulting with Jim Salk for years, great guy. | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House @lancelock , Lance, did you audition the Purifi amp in the LKV room? Bill uses Class A discrete circuitry to drive the Purifi modules, nice. They introduced a Pwr 3 amp with an SWPS for $3350. | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House Alberto showed a new, stereo, rectangular box, amp at the Capital Audiofest that is essentially a pair of Audions in a single non-fancy chassis, and I think I heard $5500 although the room was loud so I can't be sure of the price. | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? @questforhifi, Jay compared a Rouge IceEdge 1200 module-based amp, not a Rogue amp which is a hybrid using tube driver and Hypex modules as outputs, just a clarification. |
