| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Raspberry pi 4 with hifiberry digi pro streamer. $60 or so roon endpoint with optical and coax out. Cannot beat it for the price. | |
| Best options for active speakers $4k or below? Thanks for so many great recommendations. Had no idea there were this many options. Dynaudio and Elac are most appealing right now. Gold phantoms just too expensive. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I decided to try a reference-level R2R DAC instead of my Qutest, which is the only DAC I’ve ever owned. I also didn’t want to spend more than I needed to. I chose the May based on the stereophile and stereotimes reviews. Both experienced reviewers... | |
| Omega 3xrs Louis is sending me a pair of 10" subwoofers to match my Junior Alnico XRS towers. That should solve the bass problem! | |
| Best options for active speakers $4k or below? I appreciate the ideas. Thank you. Aside from the Elac, I don't think recording studio monitors are ideal, though. The speakers would be in a medium sized living room not in near field. Are these the only options? | |
| Omega 3xrs It would be helpful if you provided more info about the reason for your amp change... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC 2nd day impressions: Not sure if it was a little more burn-in, some better recordings, or some premium ganja that was on hand, but the May DAC sounded TREMENDOUS last night. Listened to some Miles Davis "In a Silent Way", some Radiohead "Paranoid... | |
| Is there measurement that correlates with cohesive/pinpoint imaging? @djones51 Thanks for the tips about these other speakers | |
| Is there measurement that correlates with cohesive/pinpoint imaging? I do know that in the same room with the same equipment, my Omega single driver speakers had a much more coherent and precise image than my Klipsch Forte IIIs and a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mozarts that I compared a little. | |
| Is there measurement that correlates with cohesive/pinpoint imaging? @tomic601 Time and Phase....read what JA has to say about Vandersteen “imaging champs”.... Thanks for the helpful reply. I just read JA's review of the Vandersteen Quatro Wood. His measurements are interesting. https://www.stereophile.com... | |
| Is there measurement that correlates with cohesive/pinpoint imaging? Above... That was a helpful addition to the thread. Thanks! Otherwise, how are these multi-driver speakers solving this problem? If there's engineering involved there's got to be some math or measurements of some kind.Do any speakers truly image ... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Just got my May Level 2 yesterday. Plugged it into my Torus TOT Max conditioner. Currently streaming ROON from my remote laptop through wifi to mesh endpoint then via ethernet to my HifiBerry Digi + outputting via coax to the May in NOS mode. M... | |
| Is there measurement that correlates with cohesive/pinpoint imaging? Well, that's unfortunate! Lots of speaker companies claim to have a focus on coherent imaging, but nobody has any idea how to measure it? Do phase alignment/time alignment correlate? | |
| Does solar + battery installation improve sound quality vs "the grid"? br3098:Thanks for your reply. I have a 40 year old house that hasn't had a ton of electrical work done from what I can tell. Not planning to go off-grid, nor even to install batteries right away. But I am interested in doing the solar installation... | |
| Review on the Rockna Audio Wavelight Pre/DAC just went up on Stereo Times These days you can get a great sounding DAC and not have to spend more then 6K and sleep well knowing you have a level of performance that as good as far more expensive pieces without breaking the bank. It does seem like the newer reference-lev... |
