| Amp's that are better sounding than a nad 3020 @holmz for sure. also adjusted for inflation, $135 in 1978 is equal to $606 in 2022. The Rega IO is probably the equivalent modern amp, which is $725 | |
| Amp's that are better sounding than a nad 3020 Unless your amp is out of spec or you need more watts, I think you have the best that $300 can offer. | |
| DAC diminishing returns DACs and amps are about flavor....colorations. I personally enjoy them. Tube amps, tube DACs, R2R...good flavors for me. Give me the second harmonic, give me a slow filter, NOS...I like colorations that make the experience feel more real. If yo... | |
| Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY If you are cross shopping these two speakers you are not ready to buy anything IMO. | |
| Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000 Tekton Lore is the best I have heard by far at around $1000. They replaced the Lii Audio 15 inch open baffles and for me it was a big upgrade. | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects Thank you for link. That cable I believe is their low cost option using Mogami microphone cable. If cables are easily detectible by your ears, Mogami makes a design for its intended purpose (hi-fi). I posted link below. This WBC version also uses ... | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects With welding you are introducing another metal into the signal chain. This is likely why the big budget cable you reference is using a set screw...a more purist approach. BJC interestingly enough, now has a line of cables that sell for a few thou... | |
| Doge (China to USA) Tariff I wonder if some Chi-Fi brands like Denafrips are just absorbing the tariff cost in their pricing? Sounds like a smart idea so the consumer doesn't get triggered. ;-) I have noticed that Chi-Fi gear has gone up in price significantly, more than j... | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s The Gaia raise the tweeter height so that’s going to be a noticeable change. I imagine the height increase also helps a bit to reduce the floor bounce reflection. As a side-note, it is interesting that every Gaia discussion gets flooded with Town... | |
| Best bang for buck integrated amp for $500 Thanks for sharing. I would say you are fortunate regarding your noise floor with the Brio. When I contacted Rega, the higher noise floor was a known issue due to the compact size of unit and the only fix was to send the unit to an authorized deal... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive I think it sounds like the future. Curious, what speakers was Eric using in the demo? | |
| The panic selling of tube audio had begun. I ordered 4 tubes from The Tube Store on 3/11 and they shipped that day. Got them on 3/14. They were certainly efficient. I guess this was just before the panic buying. I already had replacements for my preamp. These were for my phono preamp. FYI... | |
| Looks like PS Audio has a hit on their hands with the new speaker Once the FR30 hits the used market its true value will be established. Until then it's going to be a lot of hype about how high demand is. | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality These two (Darren & Duncan) have a massive conflict of interest the size of a Boulder ;-) Might as well have had Paul McGowan with them. | |
| PS Audio PowerPlant 12 Review (AC Regenerator) It tells much more than some random flowery prose about lifted veils and darker blacks. But my wife heard it from the other room!! |
