| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? I am using a pair of AGD Tempo (bi-amping). I compared the AGD's to the Atmasphere monos and to a Pass XA-25. Both the Pass and the Atmasphere's are darker than the AGD's in my system (Bakert Rhythm pre and Fyne F1-8 speakers). The AGD's are smo... | |
| Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits? @ghdprentice These are silicone, but I know rubber is kind of a generic term. I was using springs and ISO Acoustics pucks. Silicone stoppers out performed them by a good margin. The only thing I can think of is 1.5 inch x 3 of silicone provided mo... | |
| Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits? You all are going to think I am crazy. I have a cabinet (cherry and walnut if you think it matters) to house all of my components and have been using it for years. Some time ago someone mentioned using silicone lab-bottle stoppers to isolate compo... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 I should add that I think the T+A is an excellent DAC, but so far it is not the right one for my system. | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 @dougthebiker Ok, here are some key differences: A 300b amp would have a more gentle presentation than mine (BTW, what speakers?). I have a pair of AGD Tempo stereo amps bi-amping my Fyne F1-8s. The Tempos are very detailed and smooth, but not in ... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 @dougthebiker thanks for that info, I’ve got about 100 hours signal time on both so far. Did you find the DS 2 lost detail as it burned in? My experience with DACs and most electronics is they open up and get smoother, but apparent detail improv... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 I have the T+A DAC 200 in my system now on a trial basis. I am also trying the PS Audio DirectStream Mk2. I own the Bricasti M3, been using it for more than a year. In my system the T+A and M3 are similar, with a slight edge to the T+A in terms of... | |
| Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200 @bhvf Thanks. Good luck with it. Let me know what you think. | |
| AGD Tempo in the house I know this is an old thread, but I just ran across it. I have a pair of Tempo that I bi-amp my Fyne F1.8s with. That with a Backert Rythm pre, and it is heavenly! | |
| Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200 @bhvf Did you ever do the comparison of the 200 to the Bricasti? I currently have the M3 and I am thinking about the PS Audio DS Mk2 or the 200. I am not unhappy with the Bricasti and should probably have my head examined, but here we are. Any... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC @acmaier3 Jeez, feeling a tad sensitive are we? This will be my last post on this thread, so go ahead and say what you want about me, I won't reply. But yes, my Mk1 did have a bridge. Noisy, untested? If you say so. Fanboy? Hardly... I currently... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC @acmaier3 You are proving my point. This is a NEW product. But perhaps their nomenclature is a bit misleading (Mk2). As a previous owner of the Mk1 is odd that I did not make those assumptions? It was very clear to me. | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC @acmaier3 I am expecting delivery of my DS Mk2 next week. I ordered it some time ago and have been waiting for them to be available. It has been clear to me from the beginning that unlike the Mk1 there is no capability to stream directly and tha... | |
| Subwoofer I have a KEF KF92 subwoofer in a room similar to yours. I also got their remote transmitter for it so I can locate it where it sounds best, which for me ended up being in the middle of the room, behind the sofa. This has different curve settings f... | |
