| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @jjss49 , You nailed it! I see that there are many poster from early 2000s that have 10-20 posts till 2017-2018 and then there is a flood of posts after that till date, especially gravitating towards a certain brands. These are also some posters... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? I can loosely relate “presence” to the scale of music. I experienced this upgrade when I moved from a small loudspeaker to my current one. If that is what it presence, then the dealer might be right. With the smaller speaker you might get better i... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? Ha. I put mine on here and someone said tidy things up and then put it on here. You should have responded to that with - “please post yours, so that I can take a hint”. And this is what I meant in my post. People preach useless things and not... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? +1 on all posters above. Too many people just like to pretend they have experience with everything and want to give advice on everything. It will be interesting to hear from those who do not have their systems posted - on why they do not. | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? @dweller , that story rings a bell. I have read that too. But it was just that this dealer or reviewer was helping out a widow whose husband had died and was buying the amp from her. The best part was that the amp sounded fine even with the tubes ... | |
| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) @shooter41 , I somehow missed that this was your headphone setup and not stereo speakers. But thanks for sharing your thoughts on the comparison between the Okto and Yggy. Do you have a stereo setup that you were able to compare these 2 DACs? My... | |
| Music that MUST be experienced with cans? I like all my music with my stereo system, unless some piece is specifically made for cans. Checkout the attached YouTube link for a can experience Virtual Haircut | |
| Gaia versus Mapleshades No experience with Mapleshade. But GAIA made good improvements in my system - for loudspeakers and components. | |
| Ayre QX-5 Twenty @phastm3 What does the Ayer do better that the T+A cannot? I know you have very good experience with various DACs that you mentioned. | |
| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) Hard luck @shooter41. Shows how different folks have different preferences. Also shows how components are system dependent. Appreciate your feedback. Let’s see how things turn out after a few more hours on the DAC. Good luck. | |
| GIK Acoustics can't ship without damage Same here, no issues at all. Hope they were able to resolve your issues. | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 Huff is constantly having a BEST of breed because he HAS TO I agree with you. I also appreciate Huff's efforts to provide viewers with a POV on the latest and greatest DACs; but he is also not running a charity. Youtube pays you by the views an... | |
| Active ATC vs Spendor / Pass Labs This is a tough one and Good Luck to you in advance. I have not heard the Spendor 9.2. I have listen to (in detail) to a setup comprising of Spendor 7 with some expensive MBL gear. I really liked this demo and this speaker was one of my top 3-4 c... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @rubicon15, Good to know that you recommended a DAC since you probably heard good things about it. But there are some red flags, at least for me, and that is what even @jjss49 feels. You say you are an “old tube guy” and “been around the block”. ... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? @chestercopperpot , Thanks for sharing your experience. And good to know that you like the Teac, especially with DSD. Can you describe how the DSD on the Teac was better or different than on the T+A DAC 200? What attributes about DSD you liked on... |
