| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? Not because of better sound quality, but my CD collection includes content that Qobuz does not. Unless you have a high-quality CD/DVD drive, economical digital transporters like the MXN10 can easily outperform it. | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? Pass XA25 https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650168182-pass-labs-xa25-class-a-amplifier/. I still believe in class A, pure class A. This low wattage machine seems having no issue driving low efficiency 84-86 dB speakers like Quad ESL and Magnepan... | |
| Topping Centaurus R2R $800 His first impression of the Topping R2R dac is good... Good sign. Detailed review and comparison with Harmony and LTA Aero is coming up. This might be it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkp1R_Lb4lY | |

| Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse If you have 80% not to do it in your mind, DON'T DO it. But in case that 20% gets the best of you, here is an option for you. Your cost to AL can be easily over $2000 factoring in the gas, veh. dep., hotel and personal VOT. Buying from this lady... | |

| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps Just to clarify the point about over-correction: In my living room, the PEQ corrections were kept within ±4dB, which corresponds to a ±32% change in the perceived sound level. Beyond this range, I would consider the adjustment to be an over-correc... | |
| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps If the room is not that ideal, room treatment first. Over-correcting it messes sound. Good luck. EQ could help you tweak loudness / SPL / dispersion at certain frequencies but won't change or enhance the quality / definition of the sound notes. | |
| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps Ed, I tried all that with the Ultra, yet the MXN10 still renders cleaner, crisper, and more transparent sound. The edges of high and low notes are more well-defined with the CA streamer. The Ultra's rich feature set and its 20% sale tempted me t... |
