| Do I still need a DDC in between? @lanx0003 I would say that my expectations aren't too high..as I don't know for certain what to expect. I'm thinking maybe a slight loss of inner detail & slightly added distortion/warmth with the Laiv. I just don't know..but I would be ok wit... | |
| Do I still need a DDC in between? @lanx0003 I agree that there is a lot of contradictory information out there on various topics. Im a little ignorant when it comes to digital/streaming so misinformation in that arena can really set me back lol. Side Note- I ordered a Laiv uDac ... | |
| Do I still need a DDC in between? @lanx0003 well I think both cables are properly shielded..I guess the solid core didn't make a difference. In my case the Lanshack was shorter than the Ugreen. But any benefits I perceived between the 2 could very well be mind games. At least none... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade Certainly interested in what you end up replacing them with..& your comparison between the two. REV7 SE owner & I do enjoy them. A very good all around speaker. I understand wanting to try something different. Too many good speakers out ... | |
| Do I still need a DDC in between? @lanx0003 I was using a Ugreen before the LanShack. Hopefully you will perceive the improvement I did. Ugreen actually makes quite a few extremely cheap cables that are properly shielded & good in my opinion. If you go into their Amazon home p... | |
| Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Power Amps @lanx0003 right on, thanks for the input. I was looking for something for my half enclosed but screened in back patio. Speakers are pretty efficient. Been using a 25 watt tube amp but the power supply is going bad so looking for an excuse to buy s... | |
| Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Power Amps @lanx0003 so did you ever receive & try this SMSL PA200 GAN amplifier? What did you think of it? | |
| Do I still need a DDC in between? @lanx0003 when I went to the last audio show in Florida the DH Labs guys were there. I literally had the Mirage USB in hand to purchase & we started talking cables & equipment. He ended up telling me if I was only going to buy one cable he... | |
| What to upgrade from a Kef ls50 meta? @panzrwagn I completely understand your personal opinion & experience's with KEF. I acknowledge their great engineering & find nothing totally objective about their new R Meta series of speakers...but my ownership of the R3 Meta's lasted ... | |
| Battle of the affordables I have owned, demoed, or trial loaned all of those listed except the B&W's. The SVS I did not get a proper session with..just a listen off to the side. Of the ones listed I would go R11 Meta. Though for $7k there are a lot of speakers at you... | |
| What to upgrade from a Kef ls50 meta? @gkelly please share your thoughts about the MA's when you get them..comparing them to the LS50's. I am definitely curious what you think after spending time with and liking the KEF coaxial. For what it's worth (nothing now lol), I personally fe... | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! Yeah I would recommend to try a Fritz as well..he will replace any one tweeter type for another if your ears have a preference. | |
| What to upgrade from a Kef ls50 meta? I like the idea of second hand REF 1's...even if it takes more time to save. You already know you like KEF & the REF 1's are phenomenal. I saw a pair for $4500 on my local Marketplace not too long ago. Those Monitor Audio's look legit. I have ... | |
| Looking for a more up-to-date streamer Since we have some people talkin' streamers here I would like to ask about one & opinions. A friend of my brother who lives out of state has a Hifi-Rose 250A he offered me for $1500. Any thoughts, criticisms, or opinions on this model/price? T... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile I think I was just born into it because of my parents. We always had big speakers, big tube amps when I was young. My parents partied every weekend..they both played guitar & most their friends played too. As a young kid in the 70's I did kind... |
