| New Aurender conductor V4 app Haven't downloaded yet. Does the update show song selections on Radio Paradise like BluOS? | |
| Review: Dynaudio Contour 20i Very nice review. Congrats on finding your perfect speakers. They were on my short list. Never did get to hear them, but did audition the 30 when I was looking for something for my old (larger) listening room. Loved the sound of the 30 and a... | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade Don’t know about appealing to tube lovers. Based on comments I’ve read many seem to be offended. Personally I’ve used tubes for over 50 yrs and I think the Audion’s look pretty cool. | |
| Totem Mani 2 At The Thrift The CR 2040 doesn’t really have enough current for the Mani’. A nice 200W SS amp that doubles down into 4 ohms is what you need to look for. | |
| Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes Yes late vintage Siemens can be bright. I bought some years ago for a preamp and almost immediately put them back in the box they came in. I think I still have ‘em somewhere 🤔 | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Found it! He did not have the 12th version of the iris or T+. So the upshot sounds like pre 12th versions the units were not compatible. So Denafrips re-engineered and now they are. Well that’s progress for you. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update @liangx5 Can't answer that. Still trying to find what I read 🤔 | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please Prudent advise is always try to find your speakers first. Then in due time think about different electronics, wires, etc. otherwise I think you’ll find that you’re always chasing your tail. | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD ya I guess 9k isn’t bad but that 6k number you got would be so much nicer :-) | |
| USB DACs that outperforms OPPO 105D's internal DAC? It’s not really a question of what under $1k dac will sound better than the oppo as much as what under $1k dac won’t sound better than the oppo. One of the reasons I put off getting into serious streaming was the poor sq I got when streaming Tida... | |
| Any love for the Gentalex Gold Lion 12ax7 gold pin? The Gold Lions have never impressed me. Though I haven’t tried12ax7’s. Typically I find that the one’s I have tried have no soul. | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD Glad the BAT is working out. Your post has actually pointed me in a new direction I hadn't thought about before. I'm now looking at pairing my new QLN''a with the BAT. First though need to find another deal like you got :-) | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update @liangx5 It was very interesting reading your results with' the iris and t+. I recently read a review by another iris/t+ owner that had a different outcome. I don't remember which update he did but after the update he sold his iris and went bac... | |
| Audio Research reference amplifiers used with RCA IC`s and unbalanced preamplifiers I did the same. My listening levels average 80 db with peaks in the low 90's. It's tough getting old. | |
| Sweet sounding tubes for preamps Take a look at an Atma-Sphere MP3. Uses 2ea 12AU7 and 6NS7's in the line stage. I have one and use GE NOS tubes in both positions. Its a wonderful preamp that will pair up nicely with many different amps, particularly balanced amps. |
