| $39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer? @millercarbon I really appreciate your post. | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? @high-amp yes I have the Moon 280D. I initially started my digital journey with Node 2i and as I upgraded my system including analog I explored upgrading the DAC. I noticed an upgrade in using the internal DAC of my McIntosh 2600 and decided to... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? If you budget is less thank $5k, I'd also look at the Moon 280D...its ~$3k and has a streaming module and DAC. | |
| Canare 4s11 how good are they ? I have used Canare 4S11 I purchased from Blue Jean Cables with bannanas and set-up for bi-wiring. They sounded good and they were about $100. I have compared them to Rocket 33s and Kimber Kables. I preferred them to the Rocket 33s (purchased in... | |
| $39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer? I haven't heard Linn's new DAC. Is it worth $39k? Not for me, I'm not willing to pay $39k for 1 piece of audio gear.Linn has been on the leading edge of digital music - I think their brand reputation does provide them an opportunity to create and... | |

| I did the right thing after all. Glad you are enjoying your system again.Sometimes products are expensive because they are worth it, sometimes they are expensive because they can be. Either way the price has to be accepted by the customer. I've heard a lot of speakers and the a... | |
| The return of the DIYer If you are a DIYer - great. My not being a DIYer doesn't diminish my enjoyment of the music. In the end, I want to hear music from my system - not work on my system. My time is important to me and I'd rather pay for an outcome (listening pleasur... | |
| The return of the DIYer @fuzztone thank you!@alexberger isn't that all that matters! And sometimes the journey is important to the destination. | |
| The return of the DIYer We live in a world of specialization.I don't want to be designing audio systems. I want to listen to music. You do you and I'll do me. And I believe the more things change, the more they stay the same. There's a lot of working vintage gear out... | |
| Vinylistas and Tubers - One and the same? I have dabbled with tubes and have every record I have ever purchased starting in the 70s.While at the cross road of tubes and SS - I started auditioning options.Ultimately, I created a constrained budget and within those constraints I entertained... | |
| A Newcomer to Digital Looking to Upgrade My Dac, Tubes? Ideas? I encourage you listen to a few DACsSeveral have headphone amp and DAC capabilities if that’s of value. In my experience a higher end DAC makes a difference - the details and specifically the separation of delicate sounds when music is dynamic is ... |
