| Holo Audio May DAC I realize the Holo May KTE is an R2R DAC and the Chord DAVE is a delta-sigma DAC. But has any compared the realism, soundstage, and tonality of both units?Secondly, how does it compare to some of the pricer MSB and dCS offerings? | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? I'm using the Symposium Acoustics Ultra Platform under my integrated amplifier with very noticeable results. The sound is more focused and the background though very good to begin with seems slightly darker and the tonal focus seems better. I al... | |
| Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match Kinda ironic you think that. I have that exact same setup and it sounds exceptional. There are so many factors, inappropriately matched DAC, interconnects, speaker cables, CD player or transport, power cords. In my opinion, you may be looking at t... | |
| Best CD player under $2000 I am extremely happy with my Cambridge Audio Azur 851C!(Cd Player/DAC/Preamp) for $1,499.00. Great detail, dynamics, and with some additional isolation products like Symposium Acoustics Rollerblock Jr.'s HDSE to go under it, you won't believe you... | |
| Alternatives to Stillpoints thyname,How did the Ingress Engineering compare to the Symposium? | |
| Cardas clear beyond compared to Nordost Valhalla V2 I have the Clear Beyond XLR and Speaker Cables and I must say I'm highly impressed. If I could describe the sound it's full and has very good depth to the soundstage. It has extremely good PRAT but doesn't have the Nordost "sheen" that I don't c... | |
| Cardas clear beyond compared to Nordost Valhalla V2 There's a guy on Youtube (Jay's Audio Lab) that you may want to check out that does a shootout between the CCB and Nordost Odin 1. Not exactly what you're looking for, but close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRcLerk-YZ0&t=559s | |
| My Experience with Symposium Acoustics and Cardas Clear Beyond.... Thanks so much David!I realize there are so many x-factors that could cause various results and I appreciate the community of enthusiasts that share my passion.Just a quick update I thought was noteworthy.I had two Rollerblock Jr.'s underneath my ... | |
| My Experience with Symposium Acoustics and Cardas Clear Beyond.... I believe it was the isolation. I had a few days with the cabling and of course, it was aided by better cabling. | |
| why so many gryphon diablo 300 integrated for sale now? Kerisabe, I have the Diablo 300 and the Chord MScaler and Hugo TT2. I also paid $6K for the Gryphon DAC module. And although I enjoyed the Gryphon DAC, I am currently running the Chord combo exclusively and loving it better.Hope that helps? | |
| Just got AQ Niagara 1200 ... I love my Torus Power RM20 Plus! Tons of power and headroom and extremely black background. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Hi Mayoradamewest,Did you get a chance to check out the Diablo at the demo last week?If you did what were your thoughts?Thanks. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k mayoradamwest,LOL!! It's a bug that never stops biting! I just completed my system after 3 years of matching/comparing/demo'ing/researching/ and I couldn't be happier! There will always be matters of taste, so I just do my best to be as well-rou... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Mayoradamwest,I read that you were in the San Francisco area. Here is an even that you may be interested in? Philip O’Hanlon, who is the North American distributor for Gryphon Audio will be hosting with Audiovision San Francisco the evening of Fri... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I second the Gryphon Diablo 300 recommendation! For the money, there are few integrated or even separate amps that are in its class.Very powerful and gives very nice bass. Not overly punchy, but cool and organic. |
