| A little deeper on amp power please.... +1 @carlsbad2 @8th-note @erik_squires Glad that current delivery came up soon here. Although many other factors reside in dynamic response, current capability and response to impedance dips seem to rise to the top in my experience. Factoring in... | |
| Happy Holidays to All +1 @treepmeyer Happy Holidays to everyone! 🎄 | |
| Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8 lol….here I am reading the entire thread trying to make a choice. Clearly a burden of the human condition to stall when too many of them are presented. Choice paradox! So what about compared to a Lumin U2 mini? Or will the A8 still outperform my e... | |
| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. It’s horrifically sad when there are those that simply choose not to take care and pride in quality components and the community in whole. The very reason for this is for others to be able to experience the j... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @mijostyn Ive always wondered about using larger driver subs. Thank you for explaining those size limitations, good to know from someone that has actually experienced the effect of between 12 and 15inch drivers. Can only imagine how amazing your... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging Smaller speakers that can handle power can throw some insane stage properties. Even in difficult spaces - to a degree. I’m floored by how my Spendor 4/5 Classics can maintain composure, naturalness, pump dynamics and throw deep and wide with care ... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @hickamore It definitely made a positive improvement compared to using only one power bar for my setup. I had purchased the Chang Lightspeed with the intent to upgrade from my original Furman. I tried bringing everything over to my newly acquired ... | |
| power amp ideas for less than $3000 I’ve personally been eying the new Strarkrimson amps from Orchard Audio. Although a bit hyped lately, a few with whom I’ve communicated say they’re legitimately powerful and wonderful sounding: https://orchardaudio.com/shop/starkrismon_stereo_ult... | |
| DAC as pre amp I recently purchased an Okto Research dac 8 stereo that is surprisingly good when used as a pre into my amp. This wasn’t as much the case with my previous dac. Even though it still presented well enough on its own, doesn’t hold a candle to the Okt... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? Have to say that it wasn’t even an expensive cable that made a notable difference in my system. The first one wasn’t exactly an improvement, which was a Pangea MkII. But it still wasn’t one very much more expensive after that one that made a serou... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Those that know, simply know. Those that notice and listen closely (or those that know how to listen into the music) get it. In the end, all this is actually a good problem. A clear reflection of our time, in that it is now actually possible to as... | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest I’ve got the often mentioned Nobsound springs under the feet of a cheapie Pangea rack which has proven to be very effective a decoupling from my super resonant hardwood floor. Also placed my preamp (solid state SPL) over a set of the same springs.... | |
| Need help picking a new DAC I’ve just acquired an Okto Research dac8 stereo and it’s really something special. Very detailed, nuanced, transients. Balanced, great stage, placements, etc. So engaging. Closest thing I’ve come to really hearing the recording without any clinica... | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, @jasonbourne71 @scm I wish I’d kept my DCM time windows! They were my first real speakers. Got them in 1992 from an engineer that had refurbished them and drove them with an old high current Kenwood integrated. Had them for almost 20 years and s... | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? Grimm Audio has a line that’s priced low but has great materials, build and connectors. Am considering getting a pair to compare agains my Morrow MA3’s - which I do already love but want to hear against cheaper/well made cables with more shielding... |
