| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? @ladok How true, impedance curve so important! Many speaker manufacturers don't provide this, I'd say this is more important than sensitivity rating. Extremely important in choosing amp tube type, output transformer and speaker tap. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @agentwja Of dacs you mentioned Denafrips Terminator more in this class, RME a step down, this based other's reviews and comparisons. I agree it would be informative to audition both R2R and chip dac together, just be sure both in same segme... | |
| 2022 is almost here. Why are you here? Observational sociological study in part, assertive objective posts very interesting. Mostly here for other's subjective experiences, much to learn even for long time audiophile. | |
| Where should the vocal image be? Dependent upon speakers, rest of system, toe in, room and room treatments, recording. But generally, I've heard center image vocals as mostly in or behind plane of speakers, only hard panned vocals sometimes extend in front of speaker. This has be... | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b @smodtactical I can't speak specifically to tubes you mentioned, but the Shuguang Black Treasure's running previously, and generally considered best of the low priced 300B weren't really in same ballpark as Acme. I expected a modicum of impro... | |

| In Classical music the effect of SQ on appreciation Just this weekend listening to Goldberg Variations by artist I can't even recall sound quality so dead. Then I went to Glenn Gould, music brought to life, sound quality just so much better! Producers wanted to eliminate his humming, Glenn refused,... | |
| 432 EVO Divertiti is correct, but then there is a whole lot of equipment where price of components doesn't come close to adding up retail price. And so diy route is the value route, especially if we don't pay ourselves for time spent researching, procurin... | |
| 2022 Audio System Wish List and thoughts about streaming 1. Diy from scratch high end server, putting parts list together, $2.5K in parts alone 2. Need to bring my analog side performance up, way down on digital at present, so Audio Technica ART-9xa cartridge, VH Audio Odam caps in Modwright phono pre. | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b I did hear differences in driver tubes with AA 845. I haven't heard a bit of difference in various 6 EM7 for Coincident 845, Israel said as much when I questioned him in regard to this. After AA experience, assumed my 300B would react well to high... | |

| Opinions on Pure Audio Project Quintet 15 Horn 1 Please Lots of variables, and no, I've not heard Spatials long term. My issue with a number of different models of Alon OB was incoherence between OB mids and tweeters and acoustic suspension woofers. I would have had to biamp with tubes on top, ss on w... | |
| Zephyr MIMC vs Hana ML @normb Not sure I'm understanding you correctly, but Umani is nearly $4k, AT $1.3K. AT is the great deal out of all cartridges mentioned here, and simply great deal in comparison with all cartridges based on my research. | |
| Network Switches @jc51373 I've heard of this as well, Antipodes S60 power supply addresses this issue. | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b @david_ten At some point after Acme 300B fully burned in I'll return to Coincident 845 in system and compare present Shuguang Black Treasure 300B as driver vs Acme. Based on 6moons review of Coincident monoblock 845, Linlai Elite 300B vs can't r... |
