| Harbeth vs Graham audio @rossb when you keep the ls6, does it mean you prefer it better than all the others that you’ve owned, including the harbeth 30.2? I heard it is much more neutral than the overly rich and even nasal 30.1.And your preference of ls6 over ls5/9 is be... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm All three cartridges are resolving, and (from memory) I doubt any of them were obscuring detail. But then I am less interested in tiny details than in dynamics and tonality. The Phasemation errs on the warmer and more forgiving side but gives up s... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm I found the Lyra nice but a bit too lean slightly soft. Other Lyras such as the Delos or Kleos are more dynamic but even leaner. The CAR 40 was good but a little dull.The Dynavector is full sounding, very dynamic, tonally rich - for my tastes I ca... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm I've had the CAR 40 and Lyra Etna on my 4 Point. I sold both and now have a DV XV-1S which I prefer to either. | |
| Harbeth vs Graham audio I have owned the Harbeth P3ESR, M30.1 and M30.2, and the Graham LS3/5, LS5/9 and LS6.The only ones I still have are the Graham LS3/5 and LS6. The LS6 are my primary speakers. All of these are good speakers, but I felt that the Grahams are a bit mo... | |
| MSB Diamond DAC V I say to you you can’t go wrong, compared to others mentioned so far It’s an easy thing to say when you are spending someone else’s money.Personally, I wouldn’t be buying anything at that price level without an audition, and I certainly wouldn’t ... | |
| Lumin u1 mini vs bryston bdp3 I have both the U1 Mini and the Ultrarendu with linear PSU. The Ultrarendu is very good but the U1 mini is a clear step above the Ultrarendu. | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok Thanks, I will have a look at them. I tried the Isoacoustic footers but prefer it without. | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok I prefer my X1 playing files in their native format and resolution. I'm not sure how it would be possible to sound more liquid than it does already! | |
| Kuzma Stabi Reference vs Avid Acutus Thanks for your thoughts. I've actually shelved the idea of replacing the turntable. I think it was just a moment of idle boredom. I have been listening to it quite a lot over the last week after a long period of listening mostly to digital. The K... | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Resorting to insults now, George? | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips George, you keep saying the same thing, and getting the same response. I'm sure most of us have done this. I used to own a "good" R2R dac. I was not amazed. I prefer my current delta sigma dac. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips The "recording people" are not saying what you think they are saying. I think you have read that Mojo Audio web page without fully understanding it. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips George, all of your quotes are about recording in DSD. They say literally nothing about DACs. They certainly don't support your conjecture that delta sigma chips "do a poor job of decoding PCM". You will need to come up with something else. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Your quotes are all about DSD vs PCM recordings. What has any of that got to do with delta-sigma or R2R? |
