| Tube preamp options FWIW, when I listened to the Vandersteen 3a at Johnny R’s shop they were at least 6’ and maybe more from the front of the speakers to the back wall. A product that may not only help in moving your speakers but also may improve sound are these gli... | |
| Musician pegasus DAC or Denafrips Aries 2 @jerrybj I contacted them about compatible pin connections for an i2S connection and they were very responsive and helpful. Just my experience FWIW. | |
| Node 2i what is better at that price, just need the streamer section? I’d recommend an iFi Zen Stream ($399 new) and a Musician Draco DAC ($750 new). I have the Zen Stream and Musician Pegasus, which is a great combo, but according to reviews at stereonews.net the Draco offers almost all the performance of the Pega... | |
| Looking at best option for 20-25k for DAC Streamer combo At your level I think you’re much better off going with a separate streamer and DAC. A streamer from the likes of Wolf or Grimm coupled with the DAC that matches best with your tastes/system would be the way I’d go. Denafrips Terminator 2 or Mojo ... | |
| Room correction room system vs ears…. @kota1 Interesting that you don’t appear to have any panels behind the speakers. Can I ask why? | |
| A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers I’ll just piggyback on @ghdprentice that in streaming, as with all or audio, the chain is only as strong as the weakest link. But, my experience with streaming this is on steroids, perhaps because the signals are so minuscule and thus susceptible... | |
| Little Giant NOS DAC mini review In absolute terms, digital is not, and cannot be truly accurate to the original performance in its present form. Sorry, but unless you were the recording engineer who was there for the recording process there’s just no way you could ever know t... | |
| A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers I agree with the statement that the quality of your DAC is far more important than your streamer. After all streamer just sends bits. @drbay Due respect I couldn’t disagree more. Streamers are instrumental to minimizing noise among other th... | |
| Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles @vonhelmholtz BTW, on a separate note, I’m very jealous of your Aurender N20. Congrats on an excellent acquisition! | |
| Musician pegasus DAC or Denafrips Aries 2 @vthokie83 Well done and very interesting and useful insights. I’m on the verge of finally getting my system back up and running with the Iris feeding my Pegasus and will report back here if any interest. | |
| My Medium List of Amplifiers and my Personal Review of Each ! Very interesting stuff. Love your style of being bottom line and to the point. Looking forward to your thoughts on the Benchmarks. | |
| Time-Phase-Alignment- Point Source-Classical Musicians My speakers are very good at 3D imaging/soundstage, but I had Thiel 1.6es in my system for a bit and there was something special about what they did in that realm that I attribute to being time/phase coherent. Just my take. | |
| Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles @vonhelmholtz No prob whatsoever, and I think it’s perfectly fine we disagree. How boring would the world be if we all thought alike, and I always welcome hearing a different opinion or viewpoint because that’s how I learn. And, by the way, we’r... | |
| Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles Why must you know? @vonhelmholtz Why not know? What’s the harm? Does it hurt you in some way to know that these are made from recycled plastic? | |
| Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles I have issues with corporations and in some cases individuals promoting their degree of righteousness. @vonhelmholtz Not sure I understand why you view this as self righteousness. If they don’t tell us the buds are made of recycled plastic, ho... |
