| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... I had the A3’s for a few months before I had to get rid of them. I preferred the Audiovector SR3 and the Nola KO2 over the A3. The vocals sounded similar to the vocals on the Wharfedale Elysian....a little closed in and too controlled...like a box... | |
| Focal Kanta 2 vs Revel F228Be Maybe have a look at the revel 328be....it has better bass and an upgraded tweeter. I had the A3’s and Kanta 2’s. Neither were impressive. Audiovector R3’s were very impressive as are my current speaker...NOLA KO2 | |
| New Denafrips recklocker/converters: IRIS and GAIA It was basically a high quality way to try different inputs into my DAC, since my Innuos streamer only has a usb output. With the Gaia I was able to try AES and Is2 inputs on my dac, which sounded a little better than the usb | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I ordered one last week and I have a similar digital setup at the OP. I also have the Innuos zenith mk3 and the Phoenix reclocker. I’m currently using a gryphon Diablo 300 and it’s built in dac. The gryphon dac gets high praise even though it uses... | |

| New Denafrips recklocker/converters: IRIS and GAIA I have the Gaia that I will be putting up for sale this week. I downsized from separates to an integrated. | |

| Wharfedale Elysian 2 stands The four posts on the top of the Wharfedale stands stick up higher than the flat platform. The Elysian speakers have four large holes on the bottom that fit on those 4 posts. The Harbeth probably wouldn’t be very stable sitting on those 4 posts. | |
| Lumin T2 with Anthem STR preamp signal going through both DACs? I found this out for myself a few weeks ago. My tube Dac was feeding the Anthem STR with the A/D then D/A conversions sounded bad compared to the Anthem letting the signal pass through. It made the Anthem a pointless preamp in my system. The built... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or legacy calibre This is an old post...i owned the Harbeth 30.1 for about 1 year and they were very nice. They were lacking sparkle and efficiency. 10 sets of speakers later i now have Audiovector SR3 Avantgarde Arrete. Highly recommended if you can find them on t... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror I just got this DAC the other day. Sounds very nice so far. Here is a little video I made showing it. https://youtu.be/wGURiUTsGXo | |
| Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer I just ordered a set of the 2-10 subwoofers. I was afraid the 4-10’s would tip over and start a domino event :) | |
| Any love for newer Krell amps? i have the Krell Duo300 XD and it was a nice improvement over a Parasound A21+, which was equal to a prima luna HP, which was much nicer than a 200wpc McIntosh integrated amp. The Krell does use fans instead of having the large heat sinks. They po... | |
