| 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... | |
| Streamer choices You have received good advice from duckworp and others. That is: you can't polish a turd. Life is too short for listening to compressed music. Start by upgrading to at least redbook res. from Tidal etc. then upgrade streamer. I would suggest separ... | |
| Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks... Hi OP, Richard Vandersteen produces a great speaker and great value. One way to lift the performance is with subs but not just any subs. His own subs are expensive and I believe you can do better. One of his will just add bloat and boom to the po... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ OK guys, settle down. This is serious!If I took your Gate, would you take offense? | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Absolute phase is audible but the majority of listeners are unaware of the phenomenon or have heard it and deemed it insignificant, probably the same ones who can't hear cable differences.Absolute phase is when the leading pressure wave reaches t... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. The Sigma Delta architecture has to my ears a sound that gives digital a bad reputation. I own a Wadia 15 which uses the fabulous Burr Brown PCM63 and considering what I paid for this second hand I am surprised more folks don't snap them up.The T... | |
| What area or country do you live in ? @ jkatze what part of SA you in. Lived on my sailboat in Durban Bay for 32 years. Now in County Limerick, Ireland. Audio very quiet here. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @oregonpapa,Hi, as I mentioned in my post I am busy renovating so at the moment there is nothing really for me to try the TC on. All kit is packed away because it is like a sand storm inside the house when I am grinding and chasing walls and concr... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Hi All, I recently ordered and received one of the 'bundles' on offer. This was over the Christmas period and expecting some delay because I now live in Ireland, was most pleasantly surprised when the postman arrived a week later with my parcel.Du... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @ oregonpapa, I don't always agree with your posts but your frequent links to what you consider great music is impressive and tells me that you are a lover of music as opposed to some where the actual performance takes second place to the componen... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Hi Roger,Am I glad I found this helpful thread. I have a Mark Levinson 23.5 amp that hums.The hum is loud and stays constant in amplitude regardless of the position of the volume control. I am driving it with an Aikido linestage that I built and ... |
