| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s @soix - detail and soundstage. Acoustic folk/rock/jazz. Not interested in bass. I have Maggies at home driven by tubes. | |
| All in one unit for headphones- help me decide All- I ordered the Naim atom headphone edition, and should take delivery on Saturday. So thanks everyone for your advice, comments, and help in my decision. I’ll follow up with a post in a week or so to let you know my listening experience. | |
| All in one unit for headphones- help me decide @soix - point well taken. I am treading a bit softly here as the last time I really lived with headphones was in college 40+ years ago (had stax electrostats back then). So perhaps I view this in two steps, with the second more expensive step go... | |
| All in one unit for headphones- help me decide @v-fi thanks- I suspected as much. I will delete them from my consideration list. And thank you for the re-stating of my requirements. | |
| What DAC/HA/Streamer should I audition at Axpona in April? Dealer comments welcome, too. @akg_ca i finally had time to watch the tutorial videos. Looks like great user friendly system. i do have one question that i hope you can answer. It says it can play music i have ripped/own as long as they are “PCM stereo, UPNP DLNA media serv... | |
| What DAC/HA/Streamer should I audition at Axpona in April? Dealer comments welcome, too. @akg_ca - wow, looks like multiple possibilities for them, perhaps on the high end of my budget. I see they are at booth 8101. 😀 Question:Do you have any experience with their Mind software music control app? | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Mk2 DAC - How good is it vs Mk1? Weiss, Bricasti? Ejr1953- thanks. Adg101- well, I can’t “shut it down”, but I will stop following it and responding. | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Mk2 DAC - How good is it vs Mk1? Weiss, Bricasti? Thanks to all who commented. I have ordered the mk2, so I am shutting down this thread | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Mk2 DAC - How good is it vs Mk1? Weiss, Bricasti? carousel- thanks for your thoughts. Perhaps a coin toss between the two. I had listened to the M3 and was impressed, but preferred my original mk1 PS DS. Also, I would never use a DAC without a preamp as past listening has taught me. | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Mk2 DAC - How good is it vs Mk1? Weiss, Bricasti? Brownsf- yep, that trade in and trial makes it almost an offer I can’t refuse. So this is much of a sanity check before making the final decision. pursuitofnow- I had not heard of the upgrades, so I’ll google them | |
| Magico's M9 It’s all a matter of zeros. As I am retired, I think about net worth, but the same could be said about salary. if an audiophile has a net worth of $1m, and has a system that he spent $10k on, it is no stretch to think that if he was worth $... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** I have the original LRS, about 2 years old. Have used the Primaluna dialogue premium HP power amp. The HP is the “bigger” Primaluna, about 70 wpc using 4 EL34s per channel. I could not be happier as I believe the Maggie’s are perfect with EL34 tu... | |
| Does anyone remember Oxford (Ohio) Audio Consultants? Dr. Robert Smith? Yes, I recall the Janis subwoofers. He had them coupled to the Rogers, too, but it was going to be too much money for me. My sister graduated from Miami in 79 with a physics degree. She had Dr. smith, which is how I made his acquaintance. We live... | |
| Has anyone heard the PS Direct stream mk2? driftingbunnies- your last sentence kind of sums it up- for $8k ish, there are lots of options. | |
| No mention of LRS / LRS+ on Magnepan website??? And yet the website still has no mention of them and no way to order then. Sounds like they have a five month backlog. As for stands, it is well worth the couple hundred bucks to buy one of the aftermarket stands. I have the Magna Risers. the... |
