| Help: Need Great DAC for Luxman 509u with Revel F50 Speakers System Checkout the Denafrips Pontus or Venus DACs. Www.denafrips.com. Nice discrete R2R ladder DAC, that sounds very natural and musical. Comes in a nice silver. | |
| Adcom? Too bad. Adcom components was the first audiophile level equipment I had the pleasure of listening too many moons ago. They were powering a set of Thiels. As a young teen, I was like wow. Fast forward several decades, I think the newer components ... | |
| Vandersteen fans..need your input (TREO CT) Guys - Thanks for all your comments. All of you guys pretty much confirmed what I already knew. I need room treatments. @audioconnection - Johnny, you and I already talked about my issues, when you were at my house to set up my speakers. :) I ... | |
| Cable recommendation between Dac and Integrated amp Yes and no. OFC is easy to source but it’s my understanding that OCC cooper and silver can only be sourced from a few licensed companies in Japan. | |
| Cable recommendation between Dac and Integrated amp Save some money, I highly recommend you look into cables by Audio Sensibility. They source the same great occ cooper/silver used by the top cables companies like Audience. I’ve bought several cables them, all great value. | |
| Rogue Audio two new integrateds Great or Same old? @biscorbit, did you audition the amp with the 8ohm taps? I owned the CM2 with a pair of Harbeths C7, I felt the mids we’re very good. The 8ohm tap sounds much better than the 4ohm tap. It made a big difference in the sound for me. Btw, I agree wi... | |
| Oppo 105 and Hegel H160 DACs Op, it looks like the others have hi-jacked your post, but my suggestion to you is to try both DAC chipsets and use the the output that sounds the best to you. 1) XLR output will use the OPPO - ESS Sabre DAC2) USB or S/PDIF/Optical (digital connec... | |
| Oppo 105 and Hegel H160 DACs The answer is it depends. If your connecting your Oppo with the XLR or RCA outputs into one of the line inputs of the Hegel integrated then your bypassing the builtin DAC on the Hegel. If your connecting to the Hegel via USB or some other digita... | |
| Biwire Cables for Vandersteen 2CE Signatures +2 for Johnny R. @ Audioconnection. I got true bi-wire double run AQ GO4 w/DBS for my Treo CTs from Johnny and they sound awesome. Other Vandy owners seem to have found satisfaction using Anticables or Clear Day cables. Good luck! | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac +2 Cambridge CXC. The only draw back with the CXC for me was no SACD support. Great value for CD only. | |
| Speaker Cable Length Impact Agree with ebm. I have 8 more feet on one side in my system and I still can’t hear a difference. You need like Superman ears :) | |
| Mid grade Integrated amp choices Op, looks like you want the Plinius amp. Audiophiles must get what they want. :) Why don't you just save up for it? In the meanwhile, go listen to a few more amps...hee hee. Btw, per jl35, the Belles Soloist 1 is a great sounding amp for it's ... | |
| Mid grade Integrated amp choices +1 gdnrbob. If you are going to look at the Rogue, I would definitely recommend you also checkout the Cronus Magnam 2. When I when to my dealer to audition the Sphinx, I ended up buying the Cronus. I know it’s more money but well worth the upgr... | |
| Why not batteries instead of power supplies? If memory recalls, I think Vinnie Rossi already uses this technique in his LIO amp, one of the reasons why it sounds so good. Two sets, one set is used while the other is charging and they switch back and forth as needed. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? I would check out the Rogue Cronus Magnum 2 or the Leben CS600, both in my view look great and sound great. |
