| What is your favorite budget streamer? I really do not think anything ~$1000 can beat Holo Audio Red. If one is willing to spend extra money on high performance cables and fuse, Red can perform way above based on my experience. | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker @calgarian5355 - JA Perspective 2 owner here. Before buying my speakers, I seriously considered Gershman Acoustics 30th Anniversary Grand Avant Garde. My last experience with the Gershman speakers at the Toronto Audio Fest this month. Again, the... | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid My pick would be Joseph Audio Perl. Kharmas are also dynamic with a good authority. Dynaudio confidence 50 should be also very good. I would look YG or Rockport over Wilson or BW. Later brands looks beautiful but the sound never moved me. | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 vs Extreme @bluethinker - I rolled the output tubes. I tried Electroharmonix 6sn7 and PSVANE 6sn7. Both produce clean / transparent sound. I currently use PSVANE as it sounds more organic and a tad softer upper freq. The big surprise came from fuse change. I... | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? I had Falcon LS3/5a Gold Badge. It has pretty impressive imaging, mid range, and tonality but it cannot match those qualities of the Joseph Audio Perspective2 which I currently own. | |
| Lotus Harmonic Enhancer by Tombo Audio These kind of devices 'ring' frequencies. This why you are u need to experiment or tinker with it because you don't know what outcome you will get. I too use HFTs. They are pretty effective in my room and I have pretty good understanding of how to... | |
| Audio Research versus McIntosh tube amps: anyone experience or compare both? I have been listening to JA Perspective2s with Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL pre and Pass X250.8 for few months now. I ❤️ what I'm hearing. When I demoed the speakers at my dealer, hear them with full Mac system, tube pre but SS monos but sounded bi... | |

| Looking for a nice outrigger knob like this ... Hi Jerry, No need for chromed. My preference is brass or mat aluminum. Do you have some sample photos? Also how much would you charge? I need four of them. Thanks. | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil More is Better I don't have any experience with Schitt Yaggie Dacs but I have upgraded Dacs many times. Each upgrades costed almost double from a previous device but obvious performance improvements. But just with anything, I think you will hit diminishing retu... | |
| quest for speaker upgrade I heard the 30 anniversery Grand Avant Gard at the last Toronto audiofest with pass labs electronics. Found them a bit soft, smooth and easy to listen to but if you like that sound then it might be the one for you. I just got JA Perspective2s. The... | |
| Cardas Customer Service is Amazing! That's a good story. Irrespective of how much companies charge for the stuff they make, excellent after care service should be must in this hobby, but it is becoming less common now days. Thanks for sharing. Love my Cardas cables too. | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama Judge : I heard these speakers and I have to agree with the reviewer's / defendant sentiment. | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama So I guess there's no 1st amendment in hifi journalism? Reviewers review a product however he wishes to and tell his thoughts about it however he wants to. It is up to viewers how they react to the review either buy it or not. I commend review wh... |
