| Integrated upgrade recomendations Creek, Music Fidelity, Burson, Rogue, or a Kinki (super nice Chinese amps that hit WAY above their price). but yeah, Belles is also killin’! | |
| CDP or Transport and DAC? Recomendations? What about Jay’s Audio CDT2 MKIII? Havent experienced personally, but so many rave about it. Good company dedicated to their product, besides. but even an Audiolab CDT 6000 would do impressively well…albeit below the level that your budget might... | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment This year, Got some Quad S2‘’s at great price. Even on cheap sand filled stands, they sound really glorious. Then upgraded to a Topping D70s. What an outstanding and rather overlooked dac! Hits way above its price point. Listening space is small... | |
| Qobuz sound quality intermittent issues? Very late to the game on this one, but just started streaming on a serious serious service (besides Spotify). Just experienced this vey same issue just tonight for the first time. Heard exactly what was described here: strange mid glair, veiled hi... | |
| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? Interestingly,Plugging my amp directly to the outlet (instead of three different high quality multiplugs I’d sampled) made my system more dynamic, rich, and full-sounding. It wasn’t a figment of my aural imagination…it was clear, evident, and palp... | |
| DAC connection: which type gives highest fidelity? There are many variables to consider, above all the quality of the dac relative to the inputs. Schiit Bifrost 2 has a very well designed usb input that many rave about. Other dacs now offer I2s, which tends to be the cleanest/direct and most consi... | |
| Experience with good d/s DACs “comparable@ to R2R? All really great suggestions here! Thank you all…@georgehifi I’ve been looking at Soekris dacs as well! Some typical r2r controversy on those via forums, but those that actually own them say resoundingly positives things. @akg_ca I also keep stum... | |
| OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke? So, I’m not all the way a believer…but can definitely appreciate the potential for benefit. Now…is there any other type of product that can still at least/almost meet the benefits of this product half-way at about 1/8 the cost? Or even less? Hopef... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use Got a Creek Evolution 50a a couple of years ago through Agon, and absolutely love it. It has responded well/in kind to every speaker and equipment upgrade so far. It’s now driving Quads2’s. Neutral, sweet, airy, good bass, great stage and placemen... | |
| SS Budget "Tone" Integrated Amplifiers Creek is too often overlooked…Evolution 50A or 100A. I’ve the 50A and love it. Very balanced, refined, with richness, warmth, but clear. Very speaker friendly. Those two are within that budget range used. Newer Creek amps are quite a bit pricier, ... | |
| Favorite cable brand. Zu. Very affordable and very well conceived. Sound excellent. | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. +1 Millercarbon (best point)Yes, and no. Past a certain point, the nuance any given system may behold can be more achievable with focused attention on surfaces and corners where treatment could be of considerable benefit. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Mike Moreno, Between the Lines Eyolf Dale, Return to Mind Both great modern jazz recordings, great performers, and both stunning, and tonality beautiful studio captures of evocative and nuanced interactions of these great musicians. | |
| Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy Allo Digione, RPi 3b+ Transport. Galvanic isolation, super low jitter, many software options, flexible platform. $250. Sounds amazing. | |
| Looking for some new floor standing speakers I’m wondering if larger Totems would sound good with your range of listening. How loud do you like to go? Or is tone more in consideration? I have totems, but am currently auditioning some used Quad Z3’s. And wow, they sound good with everything I... |
