| Meitner i upgrades Audphile1 nailed it. The new version has the same general character, but is more dynamic, quieter, and has better tone and timber. If you like the old one, you will love the new one. If the old version wasn’t your cup of tea, maybe you would like ... | |
| Backert Labs Rhythm 1.4 preamplifier: New Stereo Times review on a great line-stage Thanks Teajay, that’s just the information I was looking for. Nice to have choices or different flavors among two great preamps. | |
| Backert Labs Rhythm 1.4 preamplifier: New Stereo Times review on a great line-stage Teajay, Were you able to compare the Backert with the Aric Motherlode II? I’d love to hear your thoughts. | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer @mrsprinkles it bested a Furutech ncf conditioner. I thought about putting the furutech up for sale but wanted to try daisy chaining them first. That might be a little bit better than the tai hang alone. Not clearly be better like originally repl... | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer I've had mine for about a week and I'm very pleased! I can hear more detail. On a couple of well-worn tracks, I can now make out all of the lyrics. Without the Tai Hang, the singers sounded like they were mumbling. They're not mumbling, they'r... | |
| Meitner i upgrades I compared the latest versions of MConnect and JPLAY. No comparison. JPLAY is better. | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Cool. Would love to hear more reports about sound quality and reliability. Roon is reliable and convenient but sound quality isn’t the best. | |
| Fyne F1-10/12 vs Harbeth 40.3 XD and Graham LS5/5 Hi Lew, I have never heard any Fyne speakers, so I cannot help you there. However, I do own Graham LS5/5 speakers which I compared carefully to the Harbeth 40.3xd. I'd be very interested in your thoughts about the two since you own them both. H... | |
| Meitner i upgrades Safe travels for your dac. Please let me know what you think. Don’t be put off by my lack of additional info. I think the new unit is noticeably better and a bargain. I’ve never been one to think the sound of components changes significantly over ... | |
| Meitner i upgrades No new impressions. Still very pleased with the upgrade | |
| Meitner i upgrades I use it as a streamer/pre/dac into a pair of AGD Duets. By the way, some folks at What’s Best report that the streamer is very good and was also upgraded as part of the i package. | |
| Meitner i upgrades I got my upgraded MA3i last Friday and let it burn in for 96 hours, which is what the dealer recommended. By the way, Rick Brown of Hi-Fi One handled the upgrade and he was great. He took care of everything, kept me up to date, and coordinated w... | |
| Seeking New Amplification for My Graham LS5/5 Speakers Best of luck with your new 800.2 amp. I hope it's a good combo. I am driving my Graham ls 5/5 with AGD Duet mono blocks. 150 W into 8 ohms & 300 W into 4 ohms. I also drive them with a DIY First Watt F4 sometimes which is 25W into 8 ohms &... | |
| Meitner i upgrades I’m no 1 in the queue for the ma3i upgrade. I’ll take the plunge. If folks are interested I’ll report my findings but it won’t be a side by side comparison. Folks on WBT have who have upgraded their EMM DA2 dacs to i status are impressed. They hav... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… If you like the Harbeth 40.3, check out the Graham LS5/5. Same BBC heritage and similar but not identical sound. You might like one more than the other. |
