| Please suggest a CD/streaming device for ~$2000 I agree with mahler123. Don't go for all that Innuos crap. They are just overpriced Desktop PC's IMHO.Buy a top shelf DAC with HDMI I2S and DSD capability, a Sony UBPX800 or Sony UBP-X1000ES and the HDMI to I@S HDMI Adapter box. Stay away from all... | |
| What audio aspect are you knowledgeable in? Digital is my Domain. SACD/DSD especially. But I find it very hard to educate people on what "good" Digital is compared to what they perceive based on what they've read in Stereophool or in the The Absolute Ass or some YouTube Video (Guilty as cha... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? A friend came over and lent me his KEF R3's. We were listening via my PS Audio DSSr DAC (Windom), BAT VK50-SE Preamp, and Jolida 3502p Tube Amplifier.Then he asked to swap in my ICEpower 1000ASP Class D Audio Amplifiers fed from the BAT Preamp a... | |
| Are these streams being replaced... node 2i, and PS I'm feeding a Bluesound Node 2i into a PS Audio DirectStream DAC Sr. with Windom installed. I'm happy...that's all. | |
| Audio Companies with Integrity?? PS Audio - Good Products - Spectacular SupportI agree wholeheartedly about PS Audio. I also feel the same way about Jolida/Black Ice (USA). Mike & Jarred are a phone call away. Balance Audio Technology’s (BAT) Victor is also accommodating via ... | |
| Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs? While I love Tower Speakers. I have a soft spot for a pair of good quality (north of $1k) Bookshelf Speakers on Stands with Dual Stereo Subwoofers. Integrated properly, they will disappear into the room much easier IMHO.Price is also another cons... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? 36 Years of shows : here goes some of themOverall Best for me personally - Emerson, Lake, Powell 1986, Massey Hall, Toronto, Ontario. The night that changed my musical life forever. Band was firing on all 12 Cylinders that night and did 3 encores.... | |
| I expected more from my speakers (not high end) My friend @ johngaltwho, I’ve been in the same boat as you. I was all about 2 channel and then in 1999, I got a DVD Player and bought extra Speakers. For the next 18 years I focused on 5.1 Video & Audio with 2 channel + Dolby Pro Logic II. Now... | |

| Jolida Fusion 3502S vs. Jolida Fusion 801 Update : This Amp is a killer deal. I love the sound of it. Swapped the 6550's out with Cryo'd Tung Sol KT150's from Upscale Audio. Mike Allen was of great help over the phone. | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 PS Audio DirectStream was declared equal to the Dave. Both slightly different PS audio Direct Stream they release software updates that keep your equipment current and up to date I’ve owned the DSSr. for just over a year with Windom installed... | |
| Preamp choices:Short list Go with the BAT Preamp. I have a VK50-SE that I acquired last Summer. I love it ! I too prefer a Fully (and truly) Balanced Audio chain that a Single ended one. With XLR, you can hot swap cables without worrying about blowing things up. With RCA, ... | |
| Anyone ditch the sub after large speaker purchase? I ditched my Subs after getting a pair of KEF 105/3’s. Using a miniDSP to replicate the original Bass EQ curve and boost points from a Magazine article from 30 years ago. I was shocked how deep the Bass went into the 30Hz region in my room with no... | |
| Jolida Fusion 3502S vs. Jolida Fusion 801 Getting a Jolida Fusion 3502P Power Amplifier soon and while I’m not into Ch-Fi, it’s designed and assembled here in the U.S. but the boards are built overseas to my knowledge.How’s the build quality/reliability over time ? I know they are Black I... | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? I am actually doing an all Tube System for the first time in my life. I've had Class A/B Transistor Amps (Adcom/McIntosh) and Class D (PS Audio). I've enjoyed them all but once I got into Electrostatic Headphones by way of a Stax SRM-007tA (eBay)... |
