| Krell Illusions ii / Krell duo 300xd to a Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated an upgrade? Thanks yyzsantabarbara - eery how similar our paths have been, similarities on what we’ve run for gear. I love the Krell Amp - didn’t get a chance to compare the 300xd using the Krell Pre vs the CSiB as a pre with it. My memory of the CSiB being... | |
| Krell Illusions ii / Krell duo 300xd to a Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated an upgrade? Thanks for the feedback Audio Intellect, appreciate it. Would I need to upgrade my DAC as well? The streamer you are recommending seems to be out of the DAC I have currently’s weight class. | |
| Balanced versus single ended As many have stated, the design of the gear plays the biggest role in the differences heard from balanced and unbalanced. I have a fully balanced system from the streamer, the DAC which is specifically designed to perform best with an AES input b... | |
| Intergrated Amp suggestions for B&W 805d4 I’ve had the Primaluna Evo 400 integrated, Krell 300i and Coda CSIB in my system at the same time, was able to compare them, owned them. I didn’t have B&W speakers but did have Focal’s 1028be’s which share the same hyper detailed, somewhat fo... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? What a crazy Hobby this is. I haven’t had the pleasure of owning or hearing Schiit gear. I have read about the history of their company, products, concepts of how they bring products to market. Their model of using their technical expertise and... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) Based on the OP’s desire for simplicity in how to stream, incorporating Roon or a stand alone streamer with its own app / software are key. I’ve had a BS Node 2i, tried around 5-7 different DAC’s, streamed via a streamer, all in one boxes, used t... | |

| How long ago did you catch the bug? Middle school in the late 80’s to early 90’s. Friends Dad had a state of the art at the time Home Theater set up. Lost count on how many times we watched Tombstone! First spade of my own where I could let my love for Audio shine was at 16, m... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal Woke up this morning and started to read a thread about MQA, Tidal and Neil Young. Wow, this thread went off the rails and somehow landed in the great debate of vaccination, politics, Neil Young bashing, I’m in the 30-59 age bracket so want s... | |
| Transmission line speakers! I just got a pair of Alta Audio Alec’s - my first pair of speakers with a transmission line. Have had them for about a month, they sound fantastic. Bass performance far exceeds anything I’ve experienced in my set up. Very organic and non fatigu... | |
| Any love for newer Krell amps? I was lucky enough to audition the Krell K-300i & Duo 300 xd. Both are fantastic paired with my speakers, Alta Audio Alec’s. I have a Primaluna Evo 400 integrated and a Coda CSib Integrated as well. The 300i beat out the other 2 integrated ... | |
| When to Amp it Up? Hi, I’ve got 3 integrated amps that I am comparing now. I own 2 and a dealer has lent me a demo. Reason I have looked at a change is I got new speakers. The amps are PrimaLuna Evo 400, Coda CSiB and a Krell K-300i. All are fantastic in the... | |
| Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30? If you are looking for a full sounding speaker that pairs well with your musical tastes give Alta Audio a look. I picked up a pair of Alec’s about a month ago. They are well below your price range. If the Alec’s are representative of what their... | |
| Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound I’ve done A/B comparisons between Roon and using the Lumin app that works with my Lumin Streamer / DAC. I’ve used 2 different cores, both laptops that when being used as the core we’re running no other programs, they were hardwired to the modem. ... |
