| Topping B100 Brief Impressions Just finished reading the ASR measurements—amazing stuff! It blows the Benchmark out of the water (within its power rating) and sets a new standard. Although there’s still some room for improvement compared to the B200, the price proposition is de... | |

| Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver I would like a bookshelf that can move some air. Big sound. I currently own Revival Atalante 3.They have a nice 7 inch driver. Just shopping for possible upgrades. My room is 14' X 12' Not sure what specific upgrades you're looking for. If you'... | |
| Topping B100 Brief Impressions Congratulations! I’m glad to hear they run much cooler than the V3 monos. How do you find the sonic difference between the two or za3 in mono mode? Would love to hear your impressions! | |
| Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker @yoyoyaya As you may know, the efficiency was used to be measured based off a single tone at 1khz via industrial standard. Multi-tone test based efficiency was available through individual sources though. You are right, even looking at the raw imp... | |
| Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker @yoyoyaya @mesonto Thank you for pointing out the fault of mid-treble / treble region, which corresponds well to the hum bet. 10k-20khz shown in the Stereophile measurements below. Vertically, the WATT was perhaps best-balanced with the listener... | |

| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma @trivema You are welcome. I have tried the RC / PEQ with Wiim Pro Plus several times in different listening space at home for three systems and utimately revert back to GEQ as well. Maybe to do with microphone? @baylinor Not sure what is consid... | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma 1. I tend to think the lesser 10-band digital GEQ will work better than 31-band analog GEQ like DBX 2231. Paul McCartney said that EQ in digital domain outperforms as well; 2. One critical aspect to consider is how one constructs the Equalized Lo... | |
| Need suggestions on preamp you might want to take a look at the reviews for DENAFRIPS HESTIA 12TH PREAMP or Ladder Bach Fully Balanced HiFi Preamplifier R-2R | |
| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary +1 Wiim Pro Plus, used $160, with ifi ipower 2 / X or 5V/2A LPS. Don’t recommend 5V/1A. If you don't wish to spend the extra, make sure to use old, low ripple noise Apple 10VA recharger. | |
| How to set up volume control on a DAC without a preamp @danager I tried a Schitt SAGA and it didn’t work for me. It turned down the volume OK but sucked all the life out of the music. I can also choose to use Foobar2000 with it’s software volume control which my not sound quite as good as AlbumPLayer... | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated One recommendation: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_779CXA81G/Cambridge-Audio-CXA81-Silver.html. good time to buy the well-known mki. One caveat: Hegel H160 is fast, clean but lean due to its high damping factor. It has more than enough grip / cont... | |

| Biwiring make any sense? @phusis ... but ultimately I prefer using similar amps top to bottom actively (class A/B solid state as is), which is to say all the way down into the subs region to aid overall coherency and tonal imprinting. Tonality is very much founded in co... |
