| ATC active vs. passive OP, Your thoughts on the larger ATCs are justified. I can still recollect the boogie factor on the large ATCs. They were playing Daft Punk’s Loose Yourself to Dance. It was late evening and I was tired. But still felt like dancing! Stayed back in... | |
| VTL Pre tube roll…or suggestions on 12AU7s I am going to commit blasphemy. I have a NOS Mazdas that replaced Psvane ART series 12AU7s in my preamp. The Psvane ART had replaced Gold Lions. And I love how the Mazdas sounded so "natural" in my system. Used it for almost 1.8 years and they ha... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs @audphile1 , I am completely with you when you say that you don't mean to rain down on anyone's parade. All I was trying to say that sometimes certain products do not work in our own systems when most users are reporting gains in their system. In... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs @audphile1 , I do not own this player. | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I decided to go away from disc players, in general in 2020. I used to own a Marantz SA-8260 way back in 2005. The laser is a big issue in Marantz players. I had considered getting a SA10 and use it as a DAC, just in case I needed to play a disc on... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I have dropped the idea of a disc player. I am looking forward to getting a T+A DAC 200 soon. I am currently using the Oppo UDP-205 purely in DAC mode since July 2020, feeding DSD 256 though Foobar. I have heard that the T+A performs on a complete... | |
| Qobuz Connect ??? Is it still in the works? Quobuz connect, Tidal connect "for desktop" and Spotify HiFi all are "in works"....if you know what that means | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid My guess is OP was meaning "worried" but somehow ended up with "afraid". @ritter06 , yes, worry is always on the back of mind, however much auditioning/research you have done. It took me 2.5 years and 2 AXPONA shows to finalize my current speaker... | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment +1 @dekay I am with you on your responses. Also @sudnh is right on money: Sounds more to me like you put together a poor sounding main audio system like many people do and you are now in lament. If anything I have found that the better your sy... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @soix , but how many people here who are audiophiles and not computer techs are qualified or are willing to undertake such a project When I posted a response last night, I wanted to indicate that without being disrespectful to others or hurtin... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @randywong , I suggest that you read dCS Guide to Computer Audio. A laptop is probably not ideal. But if you can build a desktop (especially a fanless) with minimal components. For the initial build you can have wireless, blue-tooth, and other s... | |
| Tube Rolling | Luxman CL-38uc @oimuller , try the Psvane Horizon 12AU7. They are not warm though. | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread It's been about a month now, that I started listening to the Psvanes. I don't want to make it sound like they are x or y or z. But the fact is that they have not diminished my listening experience. And I am happy that I can choose to listen to my ... | |
| SACD Players OP, Have you thought of picking a used Sony/Pioneer bluray players from eBay and using that to extract DSF/DFF files from your SACD and then using an external DAC to play them? The initial outlay for the bluray player should be between $30-$100 d... | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 @ullogu1 You are not a disappointing person at all. But your words "dark" probably means something different than what I might have thought. This thread asks for speakers for a "dark amplifier". Does it mean that the designer did not want a neutr... |
