| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION I have Dave (modified with three Farad Lps) and Mscaler. But after trying out Starkrimson Pecanpi + which cost 900$, I ended up buying it. I do not mean Pecanpi+ bumped out Dava and Mscaler. But the former sounds slightly fuller than l... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k I attende Pacific Audiofest yesterday. The most impressive is big Genesis which costt 250k$. Triangular horn speaker and Songer field coil speakers are also impressive but beyond your budget. Borrensen spekers sound most balanced with no ... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 I had listened to Senheiser HD 800s headphone using Starkrimson Pecanpi+. HD 800s is not easy headphone to drive due to high impedance. But I could enjoy Jennifer Warnes "Rock me gently" which give plenty of bass. After warming it up more than... | |

| New Class D amplifiers I use Freya+ with Starkrimson monoblocks. Whenever I use different tubes, it change tones. I can make it sound fuller or sharper depending on vintage tubes. Fortunately, I have more than 80 diffferent kinds of 6sn7 and variants.😀 Thomas | |
| horn or line array? Go for plasma tweeter if you can afford. But Altec A7 wihout passive network give nice female vocal. Likewise, Scaena without passive network give very good female voice too. Midrange driver of Lansche is connected without passive network... | |
| horn or line array? You dont need to insist on speaker with plasma tweeter. My Vaughn Cabernett II with ribbon tweeter and accuton ceramic midrange driver give also decent female voice although it falls short of Lansche little bit. | |
| horn or line array? Unless you can get used Vaugn plasma speaker, it will be 15k$ and up. After being happy with Scaena 3.2, I had considered letting my Lansche 4.1 go. But I found that Lansche is still better for female vocal music while Scaena give slightly... | |
