| Streamer creates a Wow experience @soix Thats it..I think you’ve hit it on the head. That’s been my concern with moving to a Denafrips in the comparable range of offerings (at least with the way my system is going). However or whatever it is that renders a more subdued high freque... | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience Congrats on your setup! I’ve heard the zen stream, sounds really great. Personally considering the Pegasus as my next dac purchase, and your relating your experience with it is confirming what I’ve read. I almost got a zen stream, but instead went... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? I’ve also been getting to the point of wanting a decent r2r dac to replace my d70s - which itself is no slouch! But am wanting that special something a true ladder dac can bring. Don’t know if anyone here already mentioned the new Ladder Schumann ... | |
| A world class volume control for pennies on the dollar @teajay Knowing you’ve used the Elector with both tube and SS amps to great results is very good news to me. I’ve been searching for more reviews of the SPL Elector and haven’t seen a great deal. But have been assuming it’s excellent just the same... | |
| The greatest tweak ever? So… In essence, one would also be led to consider that added particles of one medium or another might actually “color” the sound in some interesting ways? Maybe in the manner that tube rolling can render some major differences in stage and tonali... | |
| Benefits of a Shallower Rack @sbank That rack - and that entire system - looks marvelous. Thank you for directing me to those specs! I’ve seen threaded rods with a similar construction, forgot how useful that can be for keeping things adjustable. Plus very cool aestheticall... | |
| Benefits of a Shallower Rack @gdnrbob @dekay Lol! Will keep that in mind 😂 @carlsbad I remember putting a thick blanket over our tv in our former house (when no one was looking). Really helped. That should really make a difference, not to mention the aesthetic proving ... | |
| Benefits of a Shallower Rack These are all cool ideas and sound suggestions!… Part of the fun is trying things to good effect. I’d love either a Timbernation or Butcher Block rack, just cost prohibitive atm. I’ve seen some nice low stands that might work, could modify with ... | |
| Turn down the Volume! Ah…. Would be so great to live in an area where the ambient db level is as low as the 20’s. Lowest we get in in the mid to low 40’s (would have to build a dedicated listening room to get that kind of ambient control where we live). As @sns points... | |
| Benefits of a Shallower Rack @sbank I’d probably have to change the orientation, or use a current side wall as a new front wall to make that feasible. Doesn’t mean I couldn’t try it. Often thought about setting the rack to a corner or side. Thank you 🙏🏼 | |
| Benefits of a Shallower Rack @cat_doorman Totally understand the dilemma, had the same situation in our previous house! Validating to know that as low as possible can help in this scenario. I’ve built diffusers so far, placed on the first reflection point of the left wall a... | |
| Class D Integrated Amplifier Recommendations. I’ve recently purchased a GoldNote PA-10 which touts some kind of a GaN architecture combined with class A (or resembling a class A) design. Not exactly a hybrid, still more “class D” overall. It sounds spectacular, even running out of my integrat... | |
| Cable curmudgeon I don’t think anyone is advocating censorship, just maybe a little pause and self reflection. Debate (if indeed this is what @exflute had intended and I don’t believe he did) need not be disrespectful or loaded with vitriol. Important to ask be... | |
| 2 channel preamp for music only system Parasound is always a strong choice, but the Topping pre 90 is often overlooked (at only around $600). Plenty of gain on that one, and plenty of favorable reviews as well. Limited in inputs, but there’s a companion ext 90 (a kind of super clean in... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @grislybutter Forgive my overstating the dac thing, but I find this fella with his iiWi channel very informative and helpful. Always reviewing great gear at more accessible budget ranges (I’m right there with you on the compromise dilemma). Here... |
