| I like my Peachtree Nova300 more than my new (to me) Pass XA30.5 HELP! The other thing here are the recordings and one’s reaction to them.Some systems will sound full, detailed and crisp. But some recordings will sound too cool with an edge to the treble end that becomes fatiguing. Some systems will sound warm, smoot... | |

| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror This is still one of the better threads...I recently upgraded my speakers, swapped an integrated for a preamp & power amp and swapped a SONOS Connect for a $3K streamer & DAC. All a major upgrade. For sure. But when you directly compare co... | |

| Floor standing speaker recommendations new or used, $10,000 and under I just went through this same mission: hunting down floor standers for around $10K. Did a lot of reading and listening to everything I could find. In the end I got a pair of demo Spendor D9s and am very happy... | |
| Linn Klimax DSM This above is inaccurate. But let’s back up a minute...The Linn system is just that: an ecosystem. You can mix and match Linn sources with Linn speakers or any other kit. But Linn plays best with Linn mostly. Linn comes in three basic flavors: Ma... | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? The most useless word in high end audio is “always”. There are cheaply made separates and cheaply made integrateds. Depending on your budget, space and system synergy there are great options for either choice ~ if you do your homework and listen c... | |
