| Pass....Accuphase....or...... I heard A75, pushing Fyne speakers. Warm, musical, extended high, rich mid, dark background and big SS. Bass is nimble but not as 'punchy' as some class A/B or D amps. Never heard Pass but both pure class A are supposed to be excellent performer... | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles OMG! | |
| Is it the gear or the ears? remember: music is about joy, not perfection. Pursuing perfection is a joy. I find great joy/satisfaction in the process of striving for it. However, the standard of perfection varies from person to person but nothing is wrong with that. One ga... | |
| Aurender a1000 impressions vs Eversolo A6 and Cambridge Cxn100 I can attest to the superiority of the Cambridge Audio CXN100 over the so-so Eversolo A6, which I auditioned for nearly a month. From there, I trust your ears regarding the claim of slight sonic improvements of the A1000 over the CXN100. The Cambr... | |
| As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i Aura - Entry level of Estelon but fits the mid-sized room better than the Forza. Heard both in a show. Quite impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jcvG_Rr4rE | |
| Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts? EQ will render a more cost-effective solution for you. The reason is that even a V-shaped SPL speaker will, in most cases I’ve seen, provide a boost of around 5 dB in the mid-bass and upper registers. However, to achieve the equal loudness contour... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? To experience an old-fashioned style of entertainment occasionally— that's all. I grew up with LPs and Telefunken, but I don’t miss them anymore. The availability of decent LPs is a major issue. A full year of Qobuz subscription could only buy 4 ... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. The toe-in angle can also be used to tone down brightness and correct the imbalance of two-channel sound caused by, for example, asymmetrical sides. | |
| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu I will sincerely decline these offers but hand in my wish list to Santa for next Xmas. | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? No. Some people either don't know or don't care to follow the proper sequence for turning on a system (starting with the source) or turning it off (starting with the amp). Additionally, some people neglect to turn off the system before swapping ou... | |
| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing These sub $5k, rated class A gears might be viable choices... Audio-GD Vacuum HE1 Lab12 Pre1 PrimaLuna EVO 400 Rogue Audio RP-7 | |
| Streamers and software If you believe that the CA MXN10 with its internal DAC sounds as good as: EverSolo A8 HiFi Rose RS250A Holo Spring 3 iFi Neo Stream Lumin P1 LTA Aero —all of which are rated Class A by Stereophile—then your choice of owning budget-friend... | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! @cdc @pinwa @blackbag20 Thank you for the recommendations. They certainly have their value proposition, even though they are only rated up to Class B by Stereophile. The only sub-$5k speaker rated Class A is the MA Silver 500 7G. Do you have exp... | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! Floor-standing speakers that achieve true low 30Hz (-3dB) frequency, are priced under $5,000, are at least 90% made in the U.S., and possess all the desirable sonic qualities of end-game speakers. Anyone? | |
| Preamp issue I think that, with or without the preamp, your weak link is the streamer. I have had both the Wiim and MXN10, and the MXN10 is clearly on another level. https://www.stereophile.com/content/cambridge-audio-mxn10-streamer150da-processor |
