| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! The Revel Salon 2 speakers turned out to be all the speaker I think I’ll ever need, and will be with me for the duration. I remember my search for “The One” and completely relate to the anxiety, frustration, and sometimes even pain involved in ... | |
| Pre-amp with solid state/passive AND tube modes (Like Schiit Freya+) Congrats on the ARC. I think you made a wise choice as it’ll likely sound better and it’s fully balanced where the Freya is likely not. | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? Are there folks here who own GaN based amps that drive difficult loads? A couple of years ago a certain character who used to post here used to complain that Class D amps cannot drive 2 ohm speakers. What are your experiences? Care to share? I ... | |
| Do I really Need a Digital to Digital Converter? +1 @vthokie83 And please note his excellent Pontus II shares a lotta DNA with the Pegasus as they come from the same factory with many similar parts and design principles. Not identical to be sure, but definitely highly related. | |
| Do I really Need a Digital to Digital Converter? Soix used a DDC with the same DAC as mine and such first hand experience makes his opinion valuable to me. However, I don’t know what streamer he was using and how much of a factor your streamer plays into what benefit you get from a DDC. Do some... | |
| DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest? I think Most of the time people who ask questions here are actually looking for hands on experience from actual owners if not there’s a lot of positive reviews about anything out there we can simply takes their words for it @lordrootman Yes, ha... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? @mahgister I’m sorry, I can’t follow your English nor your reasoning that seems all over the place to the point that I can’t even understand what you’re saying. I’d suggest we just keep politics out of this forum because it’s just not the place. ... | |
| Do I really Need a Digital to Digital Converter? Same. I got a DDC to connect my streamer to my DAC I2S. There was a noticeable improvement in sound quality. In the end, I got rid of it all. I couldn’t get past the idea that I shouldn’t need one more device in the chain alo... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? People should learn how to avoid destroying other countries. On one side, Russia and China are not enemies, if they are not put in those situations. On another side, Democrats and people from Detroit and Fauci create much more damage for the US t... | |
| Monster m 850 cable upgrades I agree with @roxy54 on Xangsane. These are definitely worth a look in your application and budget — getting great reviews here for sound quality and relatively easy on the budget, and they seem to even offer a return policy although I don’t know... | |
| DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest? At what point you are going to stop asking the same questions to almost every post in Audiogon? @lordrootman What exactly is your issue with me asking these critical questions? I ask them over and over again because posters here frequently don’... | |
| Do I really Need a Digital to Digital Converter? So opinions seem to vary and with no real consensus it probably means I should consider getting a used DDC and if it doesn't improve things in a worthwhile way, I can always resell it at minimal to no loss. That was exactly my plan, but after h... | |
| Monster m 850 cable upgrades Well, you’ve now been asked twice what your budget is — is it a national secret or something? Also, what SACD player and AVR are you using? I for one can’t make a meaningful recommendation without this info but would like to make a recommendatio... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @greg_f Ah crap. Sorry man — here it is… http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/Mods_to_digital_and_Class_D_amp.html | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @greg_f Here’s a link to Ric’s amp mods that will give you some basic info if you haven’t already seen it, but I’m sure Ric will add more meat on the bone here. FWIW. |
