| LAIV Harmony Okay, Bourne, now we’re labeled obsessive neurosis (ON). Yes, metal film or modern carbon composite resistors are resistant to aging drifts, as you said, but they can still suffer permanent changes in value if subjected to temperature or electrica... | |
| LAIV Harmony @sns Thanks for sharing. I am used to hearing capacitor leaks but not resistor drifts. There are a few hundred of them in r-2r dac. Time/effort measuring and replacing them might be overwhelming. I am no expert in this and definitely not custom to... | |
| Better DAC: Asgard 3 w/ multibit DAC vs Bluesound Node 2i Path 2 but, since there is no Dac in Asgard, path 2 should be revised to 2. Node 2i -> MultiBit Dac -> Asgard -> Rega Elicit The reason for path 2 is simply that internal Dac in Node 2i is not that impressive. Actually it is also sugges... | |

| Bookshelf speaker recommendations I'm not sure if you know what you are talking about. Take scm 11 that seems your favorite as an example (the chart above is its sum). Scm 11 is a two way speaker with the x-over around 2.5 khz, not 60-70hz. Second of all, what do you mean by "-... | |
| Bookshelf speaker recommendations I personally like speakers to roll off at around 60-70hz at -3db slope (??). You mean -3db / octave 'slope' at 60-70hz OR roll off 3db at 60-70hz? I never saw that preference mentioned anywhere in your post. It would be easier for those who wa... | |
| Bookshelf speaker recommendations OP, if your bar is set high, that’s great. Consider setting a higher budget to accept suggestions that meet your expectations. Push your envelope to where your point of diminishing returns lies. I went through a similar process and ultimately sett... | |
| Bookshelf speaker recommendations op - If you keep high expectations but set a low budget, you might as well raise your budget and let everyone around here know who is trying to help. For example, someone suggested the SCM7, but then you said you preferred the SCM11, which is 100%... | |
| LAIV Harmony I recently came across feedback from a user mentioning that the resistors used in the LAiV have a 0.05% tolerance, compared to the lower tolerance resistors (0.005%) used in other designs like those from Musician. Could the company’s designer (if... | |
| Bookshelf speaker recommendations @glennewdick thx for sharing. The recordings are great. For the money, I think a used pair of Dynaudio Evoke 20 and Monitor Audio Bronze 100 6G are really jack of all trades, solid performers among the bunch. But, again, if you could bump up the ... | |

| LAIV Harmony Hans' not-so-much-hype comments was not isolated. Passion for Sound had some reservation too, but both of them mentioned the I2S connection renders the best sound quality. I personally will appreciate honest critiques rather than hype. Remember, t... | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? The amount of markdown you can secure when buying used audio gear, like in other markets, depends on various factors including competition and current market conditions. For example, before COVID-19, it was easier to get a 20%-25% markdown below M... | |
