| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Also, are those Dynaudio Consequences? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I thought the Light Harmonic Davinci is a ladder dac? | |

| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso It looks beautiful and I was always intrigued by Belles. Is this Class A? | |
| EL34 equivalent tube types Ok - that is what I will try, the Gold Lions. Thanks everyone! | |
| Picking a Tube integrated amp @jetter , If you go by the comparison matrix on the website, you can see that the Dialogue Premium (non HP), can also use KT150s, and the only apparent difference is the lack of a headphone amplifier. Although as per some topics I've perused, the ... | |
| Which one is the best INTEGRATED!! Definitely add these:T+A PA3100 HV:http://www.ta-hifi.de/en/audiosystems/hv-series/pa-3100-hv-integrated-amplifier/Ayre AX-5/Twenty:https://www.ayre.com/ax5.htm | |
| Least expensive discrete resistor ladder NOS DAC? @tommylion, Metrum dacs (Onyx, Jade, Pavane, Adagio) and Holo Audio Spring all use discrete resistor ladders and are NOS. Soekris also uses their own discrete resistor ladders, and going by George's post, has a NOS mode, I'd definitely consider ... | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? No...the Zu speakers seem to have terrible frequency response measurements. I'm not all about measurements but they clearly are colored and overpriced. | |
| Least expensive discrete resistor ladder NOS DAC? I'd also definitely look into the new Metrum Onyx, it may be a bit above budget but Metrums are very high quality, and the new dacs use all new r2r fpga modules. | |
| Least expensive discrete resistor ladder NOS DAC? The Schiit and Soekris dacs aren't NOS dacs, they are r2r but oversampling.In your budget you want the Holo Audio Spring, level 1 or 2:https://kitsunehifi.com/product-category/brands/holo-audio/ | |
| PMC 24 and Canalis Cambria two way floorstanders; What is the advantage to this design?: I had two way floorstanders, then moved to a 4 way full range floorstanders. Typically if well designed, 2 ways are easier to integrate and can be very coherent, but certainly they won't cover a very wide bandwidth. I have found no weaknesses in m... | |
| Dynaudio Special Forty vs. Contour 20 Interesting, I haven't heard the Special 40's yet but thought the C20's sound incredible. Very engaging and slightly warm. I heard them with the Primaluna integrated though, so maybe that was a factor. But I do prefer high resolution speakers that... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? Plinius Hiato - 300 wpc, or Plinius Hautonga - 200 wpc. Any Pass integrated in budget, or definitely any Accuphase or Luxman in budget. Used Vitus RI-100. | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates I heard the T+A integrated (PA 3100 HV), and it is highly impressive. I will still keep a separate DAC and Phonostage, but I believe bringing in the linestage and power amplification within the same box affords manufacturers to give you more value... |
