| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier I’ve owned 3 tube amps paired with bookshelf speakers and by far the sweetest sounding was a Raven Audio Osprey. $5K I could not find your speakers specs (their website is unusable on my phone) so I can only assume 35wpc is enough - it was for my... | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS Six Blade Knife is great too. Great tune but really good for testing or showing off your systems lower end capabilities. The self titled album is their best IMO and what a way to come out. Wild West End is great too. When I moved back to England... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? Hi y’all I’ve come back to this thread to correct a wrong and apologize to Eversolo and to anyone offended by my unwarranted opinion. I auditioned the Eversolo DMP-A8 (as some on this very thread know from a recent post about the audition). I t... | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @dandion I will be honest and say that I initially thought the A8 was too good to be true, overhyped, saw quite a few really negative reviews, and checked out their website which gave me a negative impression of the Company. And I have said so o... | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @dandion Thank you - I did play with that setting. | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @ossicle2brain Analogue is my primary source. I have a new, maybe endgame TT arriving tomorrow. @tony1954 The A8 is boxed up. But to be clear for present and prospective owners, it is a decent product and sounded good once I figured out that all... | |
| Tone arm length @billstevenson Nice! Thanks Bill, will do. I lived on the island from 1971 to 1992. My first visit to sound hounds was around 1980 .It was a bit dingy - geeky back then but super cool. Had all the MAC stuff including their first CD player. Looks... | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @mapman perhaps review my follow up posts | |
| Small Discrepancies in Speaker Placement As @drrsutliff said distance between speakers may effect imaging. And yes, 1/2 an inch matters. Even a 1/4 but I only measure to 1/8 cause I’m OCD. | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @balooo2 I had both Tidal HiFi and Qobuz for a year and preferred Qobuz. Like I said, once I turned off all processing the sound livened up a lot. i also tried the A8 as a streamer with my DAC and thought it sounded pretty good but not good enoug... | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @1happyman @dandion UPDATE: I kept at it and tried a few CD quality tracks as I had up to this point only streamed Qobuz Hi Res. CD quality on the A8 sounds very good side by side. So I went back to Hi Res and sure enough, lower gain and less s... | |
| Tone arm length @billstevenson Interesting and thank you for sharing the insight. By any chance did you ever hop on the ferry over to Victoria and if so, did you visit Sound Hounds? Interested in selling one of those scopes??? btw I've bought the TT with th... | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... PS. I really enjoy SXM radio for background music and this is missing on the A8 (which I knew in advance, and yes, I know I can stream it from my phone). I did try Paradise Radio on the A8 and it doesn't sound as good as SXM from the N130. | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @doni Or, give it a bit more time to settle in. Eight hours ain't much! I left it playing overnight and today. No change. All cables are well broken-in. | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @1happyman @dandion I have a Puron and an Equi=Core 2400 in the power supply chain and a SmoothLan ethernet filter (Stack Audio). I am a/b testing against a BlueSound Node N130 with LHY LPS and a BlackIce tube DAC with NOS Mullards. (exactly the... |
