New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui
"Not sure I could get use to the look of the Chord Dave.." The Dave isn't for you and that's what makes this hobby so personal.   
New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui
Every system is different.  The only way to know what you prefer is to hear the DAC in your system.  I've recently listened to the Tambaqui and Bartok in my system. I prefer the Chord Dave to both.

mijostyn, Please stop with the B.S. You can't speak for everyone that ever served this country. Some are bothered by people taking a knee and others aren't.   
If Nordost and AQ Speaker cables had a baby?
Finding the right cables is a very tedious process. I’ve tried Nordost Odin 1 speaker cables and they were okay in my system. I tried Nordost tyr2 powercords and it was like wow! It was so open and detailed without the brightness, that I asked my ... 
Vitus RI-101 mkII cables recommendation
ricco275, In my opinion, based on my experience, cables are system dependent. In my system I continually hear the largest difference between power cords. I recently had a home audition of Nordost try2, Shunyata Sigma, and Infigo Audio Signature p... 
Monitor audio platinum pl200 ii , revel f226be, or something else?
Monitor Audio Platinum's are different sounding than their Silvers. I've owned several Revel speakers and I currently own Monitor Audio PL500 ii speakers. The PL500's can sound very different depending on the rest of "system". I prefer my Monitor ...

REL Carbon Special Subwoofers or the REL G1 Gibraltar Reference Subwoo
Not going to argue about audio. I owned a Martin Logan subwoofer from their balanced force series. I prefer my current subwoofer.   
REL Carbon Special Subwoofers or the REL G1 Gibraltar Reference Subwoo
I previously owned Martin Logan subwoofers. To each their own, but I prefer REL over Martin Logan. I'm a firm believer in there are no absolutes in audio, only preferences. If possible, the only way to know what works best in one's system is throu... 
REL Carbon Special Subwoofers or the REL G1 Gibraltar Reference Subwoo
nasaman, REL Reference models, the No. 31 & 32 are sealed subwoofers that don't use a passive radiator.  I initially loved the Carbon Special. My listening room is upstairs, carpet over a suspended wood floor. I could hear the passive radiat... 
Does anybody pay a pro to dial their system in?
When I purchased new subwoofers from 3ma Audio in Houston, they setup my system. They started with removing my room treatment, room analysis, moving the listening position and speakers. The final steps were dialing in the subwoofers.

We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often
atmasphere, My room is L-shaped...front wall is 20’ wide, length is 26’, rear wall is 26’ wide, and 9’ ceiling. My room is rather "neutral", not too lively and not dark.

"@ricred1 MBLs are easier to drive than they might appear. That is because they are omnidirectional and when measured, the microphone is placed 1 meter away from the speaker. Most of the output of the speaker is thus not picked up. Effectively in ...
