Rockna Wavelight thoughts? i currently have a rockna stack: wavedream signature se with wavedream net. it's a great combination in my system. i was running the rockna with a metrum ambre to start - so i could utilize roon with my laptop serving as the roon core. then i boug... | |
Magico vs the world i have an s5mk2 and absolute love it. especially with big class a power from a symphonic line kraft 300, the speakers have incredible tone and texture and have overcome any narrow soundstage issues that can be the case with magicos. i've come to u... | |
A Top DAC throwing in my rec here as i recently went through a dac serach. for me and my system, i found the rockna wavedream signature to be very nice and then when paired with the rockna wavedream net it really just went to a new level. i'm done looking a... | |
Power - where to start? Mains, chords, conditioner, filter? I've had an amazing reduction in noisefloor from my torus avr20. Monster of a unit...but non-subtle changes. Feel free to PM me if youre interested in learning more. | |
Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room The Raidho xt series plays great in small rooms with abvriety of gear. Definitely worth some consideration - they are high resolution but still forgiving | |
Getting into tubes line magnetic is incredible both sonically, aesthetically (imo), and build quality. i think you can't go wrong with any of their amps. | |
Best used or new DAC under $3500 Hello, I have a chord qbd76hdsd that I purchased earlier this year because I didn't want to point up for a Dave. It's a great unit. PM if you're interested as I was looking to sell and possibly move up to a Dave. Says nothing negative about the qb... | |
This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. i found audio research pairs nicely with dynaudio (both their solid state and tube products). worth giving klaus at odyssey audio a call too - his amps can beautifully drive any speaker. | |
Once you go 300b it’s hard to go back? While I don't have experience with that model, I haven't heard a Line Magnetic amp that I didn't adore. I've even run them on dynaudios with great results - makes no sense on paper but the music is beautiful | |
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Klaus' amps at odyssey audio sound full to me without any bloat or loss of resolution | |
Switching to solid state amp? depending on your wattage requirements, klaus at odyssey audio builds amazing amps at great prices. i recently took delivery of a kismet and am just loving the sound. powerful, detailed, beautiful bloom - not overwhelming amounts. overall, love it... | |
Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) how about something like a series one magico s3 - there were a few here that had a price in the 11-14k range. the series one s1 could be had at well below budget there is/was an s1mk2 listed a week or so back in the same price range.if you want so... | |
Chord Dave the dave is a killer dac. there is just so much resolution AND soul to the sound. i have the baby brother, the chord qbd76 hdsd...it's no slouch.have you tried the pre in the chord? is it any good? | |
KEF LS50... The ultimate anal-ytical speaker for living rooms? RAIDHO RAIDHO RAIDHO! seriously, the x1/xt1/c1.1/d1.1 would all be killer. i use a c1.1 in my living room.yes, i have a dealer affiliation. yes, you can see that i post about them alot - but notice that there is almost no other piece of gear i pos... | |
Another soundstage question completely agreed on the tube pre. every system needs tubes somewhere :)...i haven't heard some of the newer ss pre's like pass xp30 or esoteric c03x so maybe those are capable of a similar dimensionality.i've had good luck widening my speakers a ... |
