| Holo Audio May DAC $5k is still too much for me, if someone can make an equally good dac and shave off another 80% of the price then we're talking. I can dream, can't IYes, you can dream. That's what this hobby is all bout, isn't it? There are several DACs at th... | |
| Building a New Listening Room on a Budget Thanks to all for your responses. Very helpful!Ruminating on a few things:- Stupid question: Can 15A components be plugged into 20A outlets without a power manager? I have a Niagara 7000 and know that it is fine with 20A or 15A, just not sure a... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Sorry, I meant no disrespect. I just don't consider Al Stewart as anything worth cherishing. I try not to poop on anyone's party so forgive me if you will. There's no accounting for musical taste. This record sounds very good, but in the end le... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Year Of The (Frickin') Cat? Uhh, sorry. Something is just not right here. | |
| Audioquest Niagara 700 vs. PS Audio PowerPlant 20 Thanks for posting the review/comparison. It's a good write-up, but it seems obvious that he is being very careful to not say anything negative about either unit. Not that I would expect much negative to be said about these brands, but I would h... | |
| Does Jeff Tweedy sound like Ray Davies? I don’t hear it, but I have thought that Tweedy sounds like Paul Westerberg at times. | |
| Neil Young - Way Down in the Rust Bucket 9 hours? I only see about 2.5 hours. Still, it's not overly expensive compared to other releases. I bought the vinyl/CD/DVD set. Going to rock out tonight. | |
| Neil Young - Way Down in the Rust Bucket Can't stand his politics but love his guitar licks. An extremely underrated axe man.I agree about the politics. I don't mind that he has strong political views, many of which I agree, but I prefer my music and politics separated. This is not to ... | |
| Oh my Wilco! Can't go wrong with Wilco. The sound quality is great on their recordings, and vinyl quality is very good as well. | |
| Looking for a tube (or tube sounding) DAC @smills59 Great choice in the May DAC. I think you will love it. It will sound its best after a few hundred hours of play. There is a dedicated thread for the May DAC, so please contribute your honest findings once you get it set up. Happy lis... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I’m in love with mine as well. I have about 650 hours on it and it’s just amazing. A superb piece of gear | |
| Schiit Sol turntable owners out there? From what I know, the Sol has only been available for a short time. I also heard that not many were shipping, meaning not that many folks own one yet. Give it time, and I'd say you will get more responses. Also, consider yourself an early adop... | |
| Harbeth vs Vandersteen vs Sonner @denon1 My Sonus Fabers are the Olympica Nova I model. I prefer my Harbeth 40.2A's over them but keep in mind the Harbeths cost 3X the price. My 40.2's are in a room that's about 12' x 14', which is "supposed" to be too small of a space for the ... | |
| Harbeth vs Vandersteen vs Sonner One thing I can say about Harbeth in comparison to others (not necessarily the other speakers you are considering), is that when comparing them, other speakers can sound more "exciting", "involving", or any number of similar adjectives used to des... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @snopro I'm not good at describing sound, but in this case it is not at all thin sounding. I meant to say that the music just flows effortlessly and refreshingly. As far as natural tonality, it has it in spades. I've written this before but thi... |
