| Anyone else still loving Hales Speakers? I’ve upgraded everything in my system except for my Hales T5’s speakers which I had refurbished. I truly love these speakers! | |
| Anyone else still loving Hales Speakers? I am surprised that there is not that much love for these classic speakers. I suppose the fact that they rarely show up for sale says something. | |
| PS Audio Directstream Dac so many for sale? As it is there is only one DSD for sale these days. I took the advice of many and had my Directstream dac modded with the Edcor XS4400 transformers and I was lucky enough to get one of the last Jkrichards power supply boards. I am powering the an... | |
| Anyone else still loving Hales Speakers? I purchased the crossovers parts from a high end diy parts dealer online and I had a lot of input for purchasing the crossovers parts. I kept the values the same as the original crossovers but used much better parts. I had heard of a few people dr... | |
| Nice upgrade to Hales T5’s I was offered $1500 for my Hales against a pair of Magico speakers. To be honest I feel my Hales are worth a lot more than what I can get for them. I love their sound and I would probably have to spend several thousand dollars to even match the so... | |
| BIG difference Tidal vs Amazon Music Which was better? Amazon or Tidal? | |
| I am no longer getting MQA? My Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer sounds good with my PS Audio Directstream dac but it no longer decodes MQA. The sound is good and I find the setting for MQA/FLAC on my Aries sounds the best. My Directstream dac will play the upsamles but it sounds ... | |
| Best connection between Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer and PS Audio Directstream dac? The Wel Signature AES/EBU cable is a nice upgrade over the Wireworld. I am enjoying my new sound. | |
| Abyss ? Luxman 550aii ? $3500 for a pair of Abyss 1266 Phi TC’s seems fishy to me as they typically sell for more than that. I would be careful. All that said they truly are beautiful sounding headphones. | |
| Hales Transcendence 5 speakers endgame? I love my Hales. They are the one component I will keep. I just had them refurbished and tested and although I told the technician I hired to refurbish my speakers that I was willing to spend up to $8000 to super mod them he recommended to match t... | |
| Best connection between Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer and PS Audio Directstream dac? I found the AES/EBU connection much better sounding than USB between my Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer and PS Audio Directstream dac. | |
| Best connection between Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer and PS Audio Directstream dac? I got lucky and will be getting an Audioquest Wel Signature AES/EBU cable for between my Auralic Aries streamer and PS Audio Directstream dac. I am very excited. | |
| Best connection between Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer and PS Audio Directstream dac? The Auralic does not do I2S but my Perfectwave transport does. I may go wild and upgrade my Wireworld Platinum Starlight 7 HDMI cable from Perfectwave transport to Directstream dac to an Audioquest Dragon 48 HDMI if I can get a good deal. As for t... | |
| Nice upgrade to Hales T5’s I’m loving my Hales and the upgraded crossovers and Seas Millennium tweeters make for a better sounding speaker. | |
| Power conditioner some say yes and some say no. The Keces IQRP 3600 improves the sound very much. I highly recommend it. It is beginning to get recognition worldwide according to the internet. I love mine. It is a large unit being 62 pounds and almost as large as my Pass Labs X250.8 amplifier. |
