| Something Fishy with Brian Hoyer If there are things that Brian Hoyer has done as a buyer or seller on A-Gon, then let's please keep it to that. Most A-Gon members are fine, upright people and fair warning to others is much appreciated. As for much of this conversation, I belie... | |
| Let's Talk DAC's I'm not sure what's been mentioned before, however the Gustard R26 R2R DAC has received rave reviews and at $1695 I believe is a really good DAC. I personally don't have one however if you can find a friend or acquaintance that has one to auditio... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing I have a Jay's-Audio CD2-MK III transport. It replaced a 47-Labs Flatfish/dumpty psu and it was certainly an upgrade sonically. The CDT2 is a well-built and put together transport and after some break-in has been great. I wanted one last produc... | |

| Ethernet connection for best sound quality WOW... A LOT of information thrown out here. I know that along my digital journey, I started out with a good laptop used as a music server using JRiver as the software to manage the music sent to a good USB DAC. While the sound was really good ... | |
| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? Assuming based on your equipment you are looking for an analog line-level preamp. In my experience, having a good high -fidelity preamp is very important in any listening environment. Digital reproduction in general has certainly come of age as ... | |
| DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest? I have the pleasure of owning 2 BP DAC’s (one of which is now in the hands of my daughter) as well as a Denafrips Terminator Plus. While my present go-to DAC is the Denafrips, I really do like the BP DAC and I often switch between the two. While v... | |

I know having enough clean quality power is really important especially with amplifiers that are able to drive current.

For those who have them in smaller rooms or have heard them in such, this gives me hope that they might work in my small listening space. I believe in order to satisfy my curiosity ... | |
| Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space... @yyzsantabarbara Thanks for your input on the LRS+. I've heard personally and from all the reviews the LRS+ is terrific. I really like the greater treble definition with the 3.7i's as I've heard both... Perhaps the 3.7i's would be to much for m... | |
