| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference In the same light I had an Innous player come in for an audition. It was played through USB. My normal player is an Intel nuc i3 with 8gb ram, using Audirvana 3.5 and out a Matrix USB card all attached to a LPS. The Innous was bested by a bit bu... | |
| .? Digital Reclocking and syncing clocks does anyone know the correct Answrrsb @lordmelton thanks for the unnecessary jab, and for your edification I have never bought any sound equipment without an audition. Thank goodness, right? But plunking money down on a reclocking device is insignificant compared to putting that mone... | |
| What's up with Innuos? Yup, got rid of mine and bought a Bryston. Rock solid software. (Much less hardware) even if the manic mouse is less than stellar looking it seems to be bulletproof. | |
| .? Digital Reclocking and syncing clocks does anyone know the correct Answrrsb For all of those people who are reading through this complete thread, take Cindyment's advice. The information he gave was factual and absolutely correct. These reclockers may do something but if your DAC is already 'substantial' enough, you would... | |
| Is the Audio Ref-6SE worth 7K more than the BAT VK-80? Interesting question for me as well, because I was in a similar situation but with an updated SF Line 1 SE+. I looked everywhere for its replacement including BAT and ARC, PS AUDIO, Macintosh, etc... and when it came time to pull the trigger I... | |
| Bryston Preamps - What do they sound like? Just had to comment on what someone said about the BP17 and the Topping pre90. These 2 are just not in the same ballpark, the Topping pre is for a nice computer setup in the office. Also maybe the system he listens to them sounds "thin" to begin w... | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? CFNY FM in Toronto... Mind you this before they were bought and then radically changed their programming to sound like every other radio station.Great in the 70-80's timeline. | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO @tablejockeyI tested with 2 S812s (borrowed one from my local dealer) because you are absolutely correct 1 vs 2 would not have been a fair comparison.@hilde45 and @jeffvegas My experience too, my Rythmiks had better bass (much lower than the REL S... | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO I also sold my REL S812 and bought 2 Rythmik G22s, much better low bass, tremendously better integration, just as tonally accurate - or at least similar, but most likely due to the servo, a little less immediate.Regardless the Rythmiks are a reall... | |
| Poor Customer Service I wouldn’t know, several of my components are from Bryston. Besides from devastatingly underrated audio chops, their build quality is one of the best I have ever had, and the way they stand behind their components is absolutely second to none!Here... | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! I would also add my vote for all component isolation including not just the electronics but the stands and the speakers as well. | |
| Noise floors Absolutely wonderful thread, really enjoyed reading everybody's thoughts.As for me and my system, the next home that I buy, I will also make sure I build a dedicated listening room for my equipment. | |
| Why has focal raised their prices so much on Sopra line I have both, the Wilson Sophia’s and the Focal Sopra #3’s... there is no way my Sophia’s sound better than the Sopra’s, not even close. The Wilson’s are not as fast, or as detailed, articulate, or as musical. They go a bit lower, but that is it...... | |
| Best sub for music, Replaced my S812 REL with 2 Rythmik dual firing subs. Never knew how much my mighty REL were holding back my music until the switch. | |
| Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! As far as electronics go, I completely concur. I also State not unlike the other fellow earlier on in this thread that the preamp is truly the heart of your stereo system.And that the attenuator in the preamp is critical. In my system my preamp is... |
