| Headphone Dac/Amp 3-way Comparison Review thanks, glad you liked it! | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! I hear that. It is certainly a hurdle. However, it can be easily managed. For example, I have an older mac mini, with no display, always on, always running roon, always connected to my dac. I have the timer on the mac restart itself once per d... | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! For $2k, I would absolutely recommend the PS Audio Perfect Wave Dac Mark II with Bridge II. This is a $4800 combination and can likely be had for $2k or perhaps a touch less if you’re lucky. You may not find them together, but the are compatible... | |
| South Florida - join in and make a REAL effort! There is a location in Pinecrest, FL (south suburbs of Miami for those who are not in this immediate area). It is next to a Trader Joe's. I was in there about 2-3 months ago. I have not noticed any signs of permanent closure. Give them a call.... | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room That’s a tough one. I love open plan homes, and I can’t think of a good way to occasionally close off a room - at least in a practical or attractive way.Since you have planars, which are usually a little light in the bass anyway, perhaps adding a... | |
| My experience with Galen Carol Audio Nope. It was just a well-deserved testimonial. I have no affiliation with the dealer, nor did he ask me to post anything. This was a shout out to someone who deserved it, and a heads up to those on this forum looking for a good dealer. | |
| Wilson Sasha 2 Pre owned? My friend has the Sasha two’s with audio research electronics. They are incredible. I have Sophia two’s, also with audio research electronics, And to my ears, they are also incredible! The Sasha’s have more bass, and more of that holographic sou... | |
| My experience with Galen Carol Audio LOL, I almost forgot about Larry... I bought my current table (Michell) and the last two cartridges (Dynavector and Lyra) from him! He also set up my Lyra on the Michell. I do like Larry. He is another highly knowledgeable, down to earth dealer. ... | |
| My experience with Galen Carol Audio As I am in the early stages of research, and I will not make a move quickly, Galen gave me more general advice and answered my questions. His advice was that it may be better to not make a small jump, as I already have a good deck. If I am to upg... | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? I moved from casual listener to one who is enthusiastic about hifi back in 1996 with the purchase of a pair of Canton monitors. Those speakers stayed with me all the way until 2010! Other equipment has come and gone more quickly. The piece I’ve... | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? High prices have been discussed quite a bit. And while it is true that top of the line MC cartridges are outrageously expensive, I think there is an exaggeration in the original premise in this thread, that better MC cartridges cost $5k - $10k.I ... | |
| Using contact cleaner in tube sockets Ugh. I have the same amp. I love it! I just hate the shipping and maintenance costs. Could be a capacitor or something. Speak to ARC. You may need to have it sent in for service and have some minor repairs done. I've done this a couple of times... | |
| Best value $1500 TT and cartridge. Dynavector 10x5 new and vpi scout or Michell tecnodek used. | |
| 3 headphone Dac Amps compared Thank you for the kind words David, I'm glad you enjoyed it! The experience was interesting and I may try it again with a piece of home audio equipment, stay tuned! | |
| Will a PS Audio Superlink DAC Improve My Sound i am unfamiliar with that particular model of PS Audio DAC, but I suspect it is quite outdated. If your budget is $1k, I suggest a modern DAC. I have the PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC mark II. This can be found for about $1200-$1300 if you're lucky... |
