| Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u The Backert Rhumba Extreme really interests me- unless I can find a used VAC Signature MkII SE These two have different sonic signatures, so at this point it’d be good to ask what sound characteristics you’re looking for as that will make all t... | |
| What to change a systemic question Soix thanks for the recommendation I did go and purchase the SVS sb 1000 pro and it has filled in the base though the lowest notes have no detail. Couple questions — 1) Did you use the SVS app to integrate the sub and 2) Is the SVS still in t... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? My dealer says I’d lose too much speaker presence if I went to a smaller speaker… but can too much become and issue, especially when it is centered in a specific frequency range? Lose too much “speaker presence?” Seriously??? Can’t believe a d... | |
| Music that MUST be experienced with cans? Just to be clear, I have a $5k HeadFi rig including a tube amp so it’s not exactly a slouch, but with well-recorded material I’d never choose listening to headphones over my home system. But that’s me. | |
| Vandersteen & Denon AVR-X4700H Driving Vandys (or any good speaker) with a mass market AVR is an insult and self defeating. If you need the AVR in there for processing and driving center and surround speakers get a decent stereo integrated amp (preferably with an HT bypass inpu... | |

| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions Warmth and soundstage Your goals are crying out for a tubed DAC. At just above your price target there’s the excellent MHDT Orchid others have recommended here. At a bit below your price target there’s the Black Ice Glass DAC. In both cases ... | |
| Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u You’re fine as long as the sound characteristics work for you. | |
| What to change a systemic question Soooo, are you happy or disappointed? I can’t tell. | |
| Music that MUST be experienced with cans? Is there any music which makes you say "This is why I have to have headphones!" ? No. Just…no. There’s virtually nothing I’d rather listen to on my headphone system over my home system except maybe subpar recordings. Period, full stop. | |
| Bacch SP ??? This is really weird. The system follows you around the room and I think you have to wear a location device, or tracks you around the room? @jumia The base system does not work like this at all. | |
| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions Totally depends on what improvements/sound characteristics you’re looking for, so I ask again… | |
| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions What improvements/sound characteristics are you looking for and what’s your budget? | |
| SVS Sub Isolation Feet vs Auralex Subdude II I’d try something like these — springs may do a better job decoupling the subs from the floor and also help a lot to improve sound, and they’re adjustable. They’re only $24 for four, and if they don’t work out just return them. Best of luck. http... | |
| Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8 jjss49, pls let us know about your thoughts comparing it to the Innuous zen mini when you’ve had a chance to compare. Big +1. @jjss49 I’d be VERY interested in your impressions as I’m sure many others here would be too. That’s a very intriguing... |
