| Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps @aewarren If you would read my OP you would see this " I'd love to hear from folks who have made this move in their systems or heard comparisons at shows or dealers." I am asking about OTHER PEOPLES experience with a power amp upgrade. Moreover ... | |
| Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps @davetheoilguy Thanks for talking about the question I asked and not talking about room acoustics which I did not ask about. As I said in the OP I love the sound of the Delta amps. I actually moved from their older model the CT-M600. When I ins... | |
| Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps Tried to focus the discussion on amp upgrade to folks with direct experience rather than a general system critique. @ghdprentice thank you for your kind words. In response to comments on my pre and music server I will offer this. I have the new... | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? Clearly any speaker will have the greatest impact on overall sound quality and it’s also the source of greatest distortion. All other components deliver significantly less distortion. To get the best out of a high end speaker will require better ... | |
| Innuos Zen mk3 NG and Zenith mk3 NG introduced at Munich I think the answer is yes. | |
| Innuos Zen mk3 NG and Zenith mk3 NG introduced at Munich I am using the Zenith mk3 with their phoenix. I think it depends on your DAC quality. With the excellent DT 2 I think differences would be subtle. I’m also very curious how much improvement the zenith ng will sound over my current gear. I will... | |
| Innuos Zen mk3 NG and Zenith mk3 NG introduced at Munich I have researched this and have placed an order for the Zenith NG. I was told by the sales team that the unit will come with the option of standard USB and USB relocked lite as swappable modules. They also said the stand alone Phoenix USB which ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? I just upgraded all the cables in my system and a new power conditioner. Spent about $20K. I would describe the sonic benefit as marginal. Instead of buying expensive cables I would save my money and buy better speakers. That's where major imp... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k I will add this. If a DAC has a top quality volume control/preamp it can eliminate a component. Not all DAC's have this ability. | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. It does do a test tone but there is no automatic adjustment. | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @tomcy6 100% correct. | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 I'm using my MSB Reference DAC as the pre which has an extra balanced input for my phono stage. See my full system description. | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 I'd go with Parasound JC1+ mono. I'm in the camp that many of the 40K-70k power amps don't provide the level of benefit commensurate to their price. I run Classe Delta Mono's with my Alexx V's with great result. The spec's on this amp along wit... | |
| Replaced Everything, New Gears waiting to be installed... Congratulations. Never heard of this before.... go big or go home approach I guess. | |
| Do you trust your ears more than measurements? This also assumes we hear the same. We don't. When I look at a red car do you see the identical color red? Probably not. Thus we all adjust to our own unique perceptions and, in turn, make adjustments for this uniqueness in our prefered SQ. For... |
