| Questions about Musical Fidelity M5si Integrated Audio Advisor also has it. | |
| next step up from my ps audio sprout ? Was thinking the Musical Fidelity M5si ($2199 at Audio Advisor) might be worth a look as it’s got good power/current with a lot of grunt and tonal density the KEFs would probably welcome. Downside is the USB input only goes to 24/96 but that’s st... | |
| next step up from my ps audio sprout ? New or used? | |
| next step up from my ps audio sprout ? What improvements are you looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you? Are you looking for new or used? | |
| Need help choosing my first amp for my first speakers One question, is there a reason why you are calculating for 8 ohms when the spec is Nom. impedance: 4 ohms? Personally I’d want at least 200Wpc at 4 Ohms to handle the W5’s impedance dip(s), and to get that you’re gonna need to look at amps tha... | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review I’m not saying there are no audio reviewers out there worth reading @hce1 I’d submit there are several reviewers at Soundstage who are well worth reading. Guys like Jeff Fritz, Doug Schneider, and Hans Wetzel just to name a few are straight sh... | |
| Need help choosing my first amp for my first speakers Congrats on some great speakers! That’s the good news. The less good news is at 83-86dB sensitivity and 4 Ohm nominal impedance you’d want an amp that puts out at least 100 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms and basically double that into 4 Ohms. Su... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker Besides if we get the construction loan I will have a separate listening room above the garage. A place where I can truly appreciate the Pulsars. Awesome! Sounds like a good plan and keeping my fingers crossed for you. | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade The Innuos Pulse Mini looks a decent candidate. @jerrybj I agree, especially as you already have a Pardo LPS. I’ve seen a few reports where owners said the Zen Mini with an external LPS rivals the sound of the Zen, and it’s likely the Pulse M... | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal I have Spotify Premium, which to my ears, doesn’t sound too bad at all. Wondering how much better QoBuz will sound? @lou_setriodes Well, they offer a free trial so why not just give it a try and see what you think? | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review Really, Part Time Audiophile as an example of good reviews? Their stated policy is to NOT publish a bad review. The puff pieces I've read on their site goes far beyond hagiography and would make even the most shameless fan boys blush. No measu... | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review The irony with audio reviews is that everyone hears differently. A piece of audio gear that sounds good to one person may not sound good to another. @jimmyblues1959 Exactly. And this is why doing product comparisons in a review is so importan... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker Several pairs of original Pulsars sold for under $4000 over the past year so a little patience may be all that’s needed as they do come up fairly frequently. | |
| Mojo Audio - Mystique Y NC DAC Congrats on a great DAC. A better streamer from Aurender, Innuos, etc. will get you even more. | |
| Holo May Pre-amp “Best sounding” is too general to make a meaningful recommendation because everyone has unique tastes/preferences. What pre are you using now, and what specific improvements/sound characteristics are you looking for? Also, what’s your budget and... |
