| Your top 3 most EMOTIONALLY intense live concerts, and top 3 EMOTIONALLY intense records. @athrillofhope Wow - I forgot about Phil Keaggy - there was some article where Eric Clapton said he was the best guitar player in the world. Went to go see him because of that - great guitar player for sure. There were some people that were ang... | |
| Your top 3 most EMOTIONALLY intense live concerts, and top 3 EMOTIONALLY intense records. @edcyn I was thinking about Springsteen - I saw him on the River Tour for the first time - mesmerizing - 4 hours of non-stop rock and roll - wow. The only thing that came close after that was The Rising Tour for me. | |
| Most harsh/shrill sounding speakers (vintage) I had some Klipsch Khorns. At high volumes the highs were harsh, and the bass made you sick it was so boomy. | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover I would second the Classe Sigma Amp-2, they sound beautiful, but if you have low impedance speakers - ones that dip down to 1 to 2 ohms - I do not think it will have the bass control that some people are looking for. After trying many amps, I wen... | |

| Class D I have Classe Sigma Amps - they sounded exceptional, but they could not drive the bass on my Wilsons. I had other amps go into protection at concert levels (Bryston / PS Audio). I moved the class D's to surround duty and put Rowland Monoblocks i... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? I think it costs too much to get a system to play LP's to the level of CD's. LP's were compressed to fit the format. Today I prefer SACD or HiRes Streaming. Most new artists have vastly superior CD's - like 21 Pilots Blurryface - awful on vinyl... | |

| I DON'T GET IT!!!!!! The optical cables have been known to break pretty easily - they are plastic - could have been there is a break in the cable. You need the BNC to RCA adapter if you want to use coaxial cable for the Qutest (not sure if one is in the Qutest packag... | |
| Used Speaker in the 15k range You can get Wilson Sasha's for $12K. I would keep the PS Audio DAC (the jump up from that is going to be something like a dcs for $20K), but dump the BHK Amp - get a nice solid-state to drive those babies into bliss! D'Agostino or Rowland. (Row... | |
| Tube Rolling the Jolida/Black Ice dsd Dac Also @jjss49 a gentleman above suggested Mullards. But you suggest philips ecg green labels - I am going into an ARC tube preamp - so I am thinking maybe too much tube on tube sound - any idea which tube would be the most analytical - not even ... | |
| Tube Rolling the Jolida/Black Ice dsd Dac @jjss49 Thank you for the advice. I am going to try some tube rolling and I just ordered a new cable - I can see how this dac would sound great with speakers like Focal / Magico / Elac - speakers that may be more analytical - but thus far it doe... |
