| Most significant upgrade I do think room treatment is very important, especially so with handling of bass, and can have an impact on imaging too if you deal with side reflections, etc, but I view room treatment as an IMPORTANT tweak to optimize performance, whereas changi... | |
| Most significant upgrade Your system looks pretty darn good already. What will change the way your system sounds the most would be changing speakers - not even talking better or worse, but that a change of speakers and placement within the room will make the most signific... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons You are suffering from temporary sanity. | |
| Decware - any substance here? A lot hotter than a Class D amp, yet cooler than a large Class A tube amp. It is only a 25 watt amp, how many watts was your large Class A tube amp? That should give you some sense of proportion, but all Class A amps will give more heat per watt t... | |
| What time do you wear? I see the logic of this. It just might be possible that with 140 tweaks in aggregate, you could possibly surpass the sound of the real thing (TAS), and wouldn't that be something. Clippers, hmmmm. The Germans seem to be good with steel, but the Sw... | |
| What time do you wear? Solingen, the Audio Note and Jager Lacoutre of snipping blades.Incidentally, this thread thankfully lead me to the Seiko Orange Monster which I got for $200 and wear it more than 35x more expensive IWC - which I love, but I love wearing the OM, an... | |
| What time do you wear? The thing watches, and a discussion about them, has in common with audio is that appeals to connoisseurship, to discriminating about the differences between things and finding a language to describe them, which is why many audiophiles also like to... | |
| Is berkeley dac as good as absolute sound review? I must hear the Bryston -maybe even as a CD-Player (yup still use the discs), I just get the feeling it is a real sleeper (though it has had good reviews)at a very competive price given its performance, and needless to say, Bryston reliability - w... | |
| Can any preamps for $2-3k touch Auregies-L? You are likely to get a lot more relevant responses to the Primaluna amplifier question in a new thread, the subject line would not lead people to you, especially Primaluna amplifier owners. | |
| Who is the KING of MONOS? On a related note, I sold the fantastic sounding CAT Jl2 because it raised the temp in the room 5-7 degrees in the summer, I can only imagine what their mono-block would do in terms of heat. That is the price you pay for Class A, but it does sound... | |
| Who is the KING of MONOS? 05-08-11: Husk01Are there any Class A amps that do not run hot?None that I know of, but of course some run hotter than others. For example, the Pass Aleph 3 seem to run considerably hotter than the XA30.5 -- don't know why. | |
| Can any preamps for $2-3k touch Auregies-L? An alternative for the kind of sound you are looking for would be the Joule LA-150MKII- not saying it is better than the Shindo, since I am not familiar with the Shindo, but it is certainly a very fine preamp in the rich tone/emotion school. | |
| Is berkeley dac as good as absolute sound review? So, how many actually own the Berkeley and how does it compare with the likes of DCS, Esoteric, and EMM Labs? Are these the top brands today? Do they really distance themselves from what seems like a really well regarded effort by Bryston on the p... | |
| Is berkeley dac as good as absolute sound review? If you don't find it meaningful, than don't - but it is meaningful to me since buying something has meaning to me, especially when I have the opportunity to buy anything and from that I choose to buy something in particular. Perhaps reviewers func... | |
| Is berkeley dac as good as absolute sound review? It is not just an endorsement, it is a genuine act by the reviewer - he could, if he chose, by many, many things at 50% off, but he doesn't, and when he does buy something, it is telling; now if you choose to dismiss that, well so be it; I find it... |
