| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k There are obviously many great DACs in that wide price range so it’d be most helpful to know what specific improvements and sound characteristics you’re looking for in order to suggest other DACs that might be worth considering. | |
| Back to the DAC Better presentation of musical overtones, amplitude, pitch, timbre, texture with a wider/deeper soundstage (if this is possible) than I have with my existing DAC. Under $10K, used is OK. If you’re not opposed to a tube DAC I’d give Lampizator a... | |
| Back to the DAC What’s your budget, and what specific improvements and sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| Guess who has new speakers in their lab? @tony1954 Ha ha! Spot on. | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations You might contact Ty of Tyler Acoustics and inquire as whether he could build you a pair of his older Taylo Reference Monitors—the version with the Seas Millennium tweeters. They are essentially a slightly larger Joseph Pulsar No, they’re not. ... | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs Congrats! I’m sure it’ll sound great but looking forward to your impressions. | |
| Need a modern Class A monoblock, preferably half or compact chassis If you really want monoblock amps I highly doubt you’d be unhappy with the Valvets. Choices, choices. | |

This seller incl... | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs I like your DAC especially if you have the VBS power supply.

| Guess who has new speakers in their lab? Crazy fanboy says what? | |
| Upgrade from DeVore Gibbon X Here are some I think meet your sonic objectives and would be significant upgrades from your speakers so worth a look… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650017479-joseph-audio-pearl-3-speakers/ (if still available) https://www.usaudiomart.com/... | |
| Upgrade from DeVore Gibbon X What specific improvements and sound characteristics are you looking for? Also, what’s your budget and are you looking for new or used? | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? This is timely as there have been discussions of specifically the Alta Alyssa here recently. I was curious about the brand having heard good things so have read several reviews and comments from people who’ve heard Alta speakers at shows, and alt... | |
