| 4 Dealer Kudos: Outstanding Service - Holm Audio, Hollis Audio Labs, Rutherforford, S.A.M. I personally had great experience from Holm Audio in Chicago. They don't pressurize you and demo you the stuff you want to listen to. Great guys to work with! Two thumbs up. I do not have experience with others and hence cannot comment. | |
| Kickstarter project That is not a project, but a genuine site where people share projects. Many of the projects have succeeded. Example is the Peak Design Travel Tripod. But people have also experienced failures, I believe. If you google around, you can check out the... | |
| Best 12AU7? I asked for similar (not exact) recommendation from Brent Jesse and was recommended the Mazda Grey ladder ribbed. Been super happy with these. Brent Jessee - 12AU7 in stock | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @markmuse , Thank You sir! I commented and have a bunch of questions - sorry in advance 😁 | |
| YouTube star Jay loves McIntosh MC 901 amplifier Is "@emergingsoul" another account created by Jay? Either that or he is infatuated by Jay. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @markmuse , I would love to see your system on the "Virtual Systems" page. You have a nice setup going there. | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION @soix, Rhumba 1.3 has 1 fully balanced XLR input and output, while 1.4 has 2 each. | |
| PSB Stratus Silver These were the first hifi loudspeakers that I heard way back in the late 90s, paired with some Krell monos. I was in awe of the sound. If these are in good condition, you might as well jump - if the price is right. | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION +6 on the Backert Labs Rhumba. I have owned the Rhumba 1.3 since 2018. Roll some NOS tubes and your will be amazed by the sound quality. NOS Mazdas are what I sincerely recommend. Damn! I had to edit my post just to correct the "number". 5 peopl... | |
| Should I cash in? I am in similar situation and am ready to upgrade. I have digitized all my CD/SACDs to FLAC or DSF files and ready to move from the Oppo UDP-205 to a dedicated DAC. I think I will most likely sell the Oppo, if I move to a new DAC. Unfortunately I... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? +1 @arafiq Hmm... tell that to Dan Wright of "Modwright" and Bob Backert of "Backert Labs"! @grk both these companies have been creating products for quite some time and have CURRENT products in the market. In fact I OWN the Backert Labs Rhum... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k @axeis1 , Munich HiFi 2024 starts tomorrow. Might be a good idea to wait and watch what new DACs are being released. | |
| Marantz vs. Oppo or Theta @robert53, I am planning to get a streamer and was wondering how it would sound using the oppo DAC. Spoiler alert - you are in for a pleasant shock. If the streamer has ASIO drivers, try to use them; unless you are on a Mac. | |
| Marantz vs. Oppo or Theta +1 @robert53 If you get a chance, try to rip the SACDs to DFF files and then use the Oppo as a DAC and check if you notice improvements. I found that, as a CD player, it sounds alright. But as a DAC, it is a completely different machine. | |
| Music first or sound first? So true @pcrhkr . |
