| Daniël Hertz M6L preamp. This is Mark Levinson's new company and that preamp is designed by him. I recently emailed him about a noisy ML23.5 but got no response, zip, nada. I am a pensioner and saved up a long time to buy one of these excellent amps. He did not even have ... | |
| Looking for best streamer without DAC under $3500 When visiting the XFI Premium hifi show in Holland late last year I found myself in the a room that Aurender and dCS were sharing. I eventually managed to chat to two guys together each representing their respective companies.This turned into a le... | |
| Resistors 'Good 1% resisters of the same value always sound the same'That's so sad. Some people are incapable of, or unwilling to hear the difference. I can't directly answer the question but can tell you that Mills are smooth and way better than the cast ... | |
| WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5 ML23.5 and it’s sibling 27.5 are great amps.@ozzy says ’sterile and lifeless’ Really? Have you had one at home and if so what amp did you compare it to. I notice you did not provide this information.I own both but the 27.5 no longer works. Will ge... | |
| Holy Brightness Batman! Another possible approach is if you can handle a screwdriver and soldering iron. Keep the Tylers and modify them.Go straight to the crossover and identify the series capacitor to the tweeter. Chop it out and note its value, something like 3.3 to 6... | |
| Speakers or room Maybe get rid of current wife. Order one dozen big fat ones on-line. Place one in each corner, 2 per side at first reflection points and the rest on the floor between you and the speakers.Face them inwards for better dispersion or outwards for mor... | |
| Best used DAC under $750. If you are happy with redbook only, then do your best to find a Wadia 15 It uses the Burr Brown PCM63 R2R architecture which beats, to my ears, the delta sigma DACs, unless you are prepared to pay huge money.This on redbook is a more musical and... | |
| What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found? @ geofkite I asked why you scoff. Can't answer, no rational reason? Seems you're not short of inane comments with nearly 19K posts.Name dropping skills, hmmm, reminds me to drop your name into my folder titled 'Pathetic" | |
| What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found? Because rooms vary so much in construction it is difficult to predict acoustic behavior by guessing.There is no need to guess, for less than the price of a pair of modest interconnects or isolation product which may or may not have an effect, a s... | |
| What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found? WOW, after I read what @joshfilm posted I went to the Stillpoints site, not believing that this patent drivel and misinformation was up for all to see. I no longer have any interest in their products. This insult is the worst kind of advertising.... | |
| Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)? I was at the XFI Premium show in Veldhoven, Holland end of last month and can recommend Spatial and Pureaudioproject. Lots of good sounding rooms but these two appealed to me most. Open, spacious and natural. The bass does not slam but what it doe... | |
| NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET I recently attended the XFI Premium show in Veldhoven, Holland and heard a few class D amps. One I remember was the Merrill 116's driving Guru speakers. Sounded really good, in fact good enough to return and listen further.I of course heard top D'... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC @cal3713 Thanks. Just read your thread on the Duelund caps. Would dearly love some of those but unfortunately my Tannoys need total 6 caps. Maybe the tweeter series caps someday.OP good luck with your search. | |
| New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC This is interesting, also looking for a streamer without DAC.Like 'clio09' I have a DAC I'm extremely happy with, an ancient Wadia 15 which also uses the fabulous Burr-Brown PCM63. This beauty does redbook only but I do not miss hi-res. I have a... | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? As jouri_knegt posted about his Wadia 9, I was shocked when I bought, quite cheaply, a second hand Wadia 15 DAC which uses the same architecture as the 9 It 'only' does redbook but I have not heard anything else I prefer!Room treatment too. So fe... |
