| upgrade question regarding DAC and streamer Good friend of mine had DCS Bartok (not Apex). We did a dac shootout on his system with my Goldnote DS10, with optional external power supply. He preferred his Bartok, but I preferred my Goldnote - thought it sounded fuller, more organic. And i... | |
| Suggested upgrade paths oh, and assume you’ve played with toe-in (e.g., less and no toe-in)? | |
| Suggested upgrade paths if not mistaken, tweeters on those speakers are not exactly in the center. Maybe swap left speaker to right, and vice versa, just to see if that makes any difference first. | |
| Streamers rabbit hole Goldnote DS10 Evo for $3700. Another $1500(ish) for the external power supply takes it to another level. | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. @cleeds Excellent idea! Can I list you as a sponsor? | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. @cleeds Im actually not upset at all. I have no dog in this fight. It is true that I don’t think a flat-out political ban is necessary, but I would be perfectly happy to continue as a satisfied audiogon member under one. I have dispassionatel... | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. @cleeds You just continue to miss the point, though I’m sure it’s inadvertent. I’ve shown how political discourse is happening on this site. I’ve shown how inconsistent moderator actions are. All I’m suggesting is if we don’t want politics, l... | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. @devinplombier But the issue remains, how do we want to handle it? Under the current rules, if two or more posters have a reasonably polite political discussion, that’s allowed within the posted rules. If they resort to name-calling and oth... | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. So here’s a post from another current thread, that has not been taken down: “No shock. In the end, the American taxpayer will carry the burden. Check out Jeffrey Sachs if you want to see the reality of US imposed tariffs.” Way more political t... | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. @cleeds To quote from A Few Good Men: “you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like “honor”, “code”, loyalty.” We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I ha... | |
| My last rodeo I’d lean towards integrated for simplicity. You can get a great system for $30k, even buying new. IMHO, you can get a state of the art streamer for $2k or less, a killer dac for $5k or less, and that leaves $20k for speakers and an integrated. ... | |
| Any Hegel H390 owners using Hegel D50 DAC? I actually wouldn’t let that dissuade you if I were you. First, streaming technology is not hard, nor does it need to be expensive. More importantly, Gold Note is a DAC-first company, in contrast to, say, Bluesound or Innuos for example. So the... | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. @mapman That seems a bit of a cop out. It would be very easy to draft language, so to the moderators: I hereby volunteer. Let me know if you’d like me to take a stab at it. I’d be happy to draft alternative versions, from less flexible to mor... | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. @mahler123 Well now, see, the right of a shopowner to discriminate against certain people is somewhat controversial (carefully not taking a side here). Which brings me back to my original point, which is to just post the rules, whatever you want... | |
| Any Hegel H390 owners using Hegel D50 DAC? Also The Cable Company in New Hope, Pa. Forgot they carried brand. Am big fan of this dealer. Excellent service. |
