| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help “I wouldn’t pair Mc gear with Sonus Faber“. Or ARC gear with Sonos Faber. Every demo I’ve heard with SF speakers, I came away unimpressed. The sound was flat and lacked any emotions...so I wouldn’t call MC as a warm sounding gear, actually quite t... | |
| Speaker Sales on Audiogon +1, yogiboy. @b_limoIf buyer is unable to pay your actual shipping cost then refund his money and re-list the item. I do find $300 bit excessive on speakers weighing only 40lbs x 2. Next time when you list any heavy items, check shipping option bo... | |
| Suggestions for a top flight streamer/Dac around the $2000 mark? @uberwaltz, Congratulations on your purchase of N100 and QB9. You’re in for a very nice treat. Did your N100 came with MQA upgrade? Enjoy! | |
| Tannoy Speaker Owners @oldschool1948,Look into Accuphase Integrated (Class A)...they are match made in heaven for Tannoy’s. I am currently using E-650 with Canterbury’s and couldn’t be any happier. I have gone through my fair share of high end gear, solid state and tub... | |

| Which combination of components (Streamer, DAC, Preamp, Amp, etc.) are most future-proof? “Software is stable and mature. Most systems are run off of Linux or Windows which are not going anywhere”. I agree with @david_ten. I have been using Linux based streamer from Aurender for last 5 plus years. It’s easily one of the best investment... | |

| The Modern DAC killed High Resolution Music - has Stereophile proven it? “Remember how much money Wadia commanded for their upsampling DACs?.”Wadia is long gone and so is the need for oversampling DAC’s. Today’s high resolution files (above 16bit/44.1kHz) are so darn good that you no longer feel the need of oversamplin... | |
| The Modern DAC killed High Resolution Music - has Stereophile proven it? +1, mahler123. Mr. Frugal seems to be stuck inside a box....he has been trying for so long to convince us that high resolution music no longer seemed to be as important. | |
| thinking to buy Luxman M900u mono , what other similar amps should i look? I would recommend going with true mono amps instead of Luxman stereo amp. Read up on amps that doubles up as mono in bridge mode....the results are not always superlative. Look at Pass Labs, Accuphase or newer Classe Delta mono’s. I’ve listened to... | |
| What determines a streamers sound quality. “what determines the quality of the sound”I am in a camp where everything matters. Starting with your network, noise rejection, power correction and to the last cable between your streamer and DAC. A brand ‘X’ streamer will sound different over Wi... | |
| CD vs Streaming “should I buy CDs for sound quality. Or audibly, is Ultra HD from Amazon at least as good.”+1, dbphd, As long as implementation of your streaming setup is good, I would go all in with streaming. I am currently subscribing to Tidal and Qobuz and th... | |
