| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables @charles1dad Another big Lavri fan/owner, but these also seem to offer great value given their higher-purity silver. I’d be very interested in your thoughts and also the quality of the connectors that I think have a big influence on ultimate soun... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? Maybe you missed the part in my post where I stated: I screen products by their objective performance and if this data isn’t forthcoming, they are ignored. Those that publish and meet certain requirements are auditioned. "are auditioned" means... | |
| Recommendation for Headphones Ooh you bugger! As mentioned earlier I’ve got the Arya Stealths and lust after the HE1000v2s. Congrats!!! What headphone amp are you using because that will be key to cable matching? | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? I don’t consider or buy audio components from manufacturers who won’t provide measurements. I screen products by their objective performance and if this data isn’t forthcoming, they are ignored. Those that publish and meet certain requirements ar... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I respect Ralph for so many things and count his incredible patience with kuribo here among them. But in my heart of hearts I wish he’d spend the time developing an even more affordable stereo version of these monos (hint hint) rather than using t... | |
| Integrated amp for Sonus Faber olympica nova 1 @twoleftears That’s clearly a female amp. If it was a male amp it’d have a volume control, source selector, and maybe a balance control. That the OP’s wife would hate that amp explains why women can’t live together — too much overly-complicated, i... | |
| Comparing external DAC to CD player DAC × Preview I have been using a well-known, inexpensive ($300), and well regarded DAC with an old MAC as a music server. Yuck That sucks I recently pulled out my old CD player, a Marantz CD-67se: an "oldie but a goodie". The CD player wi... | |
| CD Transport Question I have hundreds of CDs and am contemplating purchasing a single CD Transport. I wouldn’t do that. In this day and age IMHO you’re much better off buying a server where you can just load all your CDs into it, hook it up to your NAIM via its digi... | |
| Gustard R26 @whart Check out soundnews.net as he writes good reviews and I think reviewed them both. | |
| Tube preamp recommendations for Pass X260.8 monos i don’t mind a little bit of tube warmth, but I’d rather it lean more toward neutral than overdone. If I were you and you’re running a truly fully-balanced system I’d go with ether ARC or Atmasphere, or VAC if you don’t mind a touch of warmth. ... | |
| Tube preamp recommendations for Pass X260.8 monos Are you looking for a more neutral-sounding preamp or one that provides a bit of warmth, bloom, tube magic, etc.? | |
| Opinions before purchasing IME subs are instrumental to truly good home theater. Get a pair of SVS SB1000 Pro subs for $1150 — they’re relatively small, will get you down to 20Hz, and come with software that will make them easy to integrate and tune for your personal taste... | |
| Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza If I’m gonna spend a couple thousand dollars on some so-called hiend cables I’m gonna need a better explanation of what I’m getting. Why? Do you need someone to tell you what pizza tastes best to you too? Read reviews and user feedback and buy ... | |
| Integrated amp for Sonus Faber olympica nova 1 For looks and sound Pathos is a great choice. I’d look at an Octave V70SE cause it probably sound evens better if it meets with your wife’s standards. There’s also divorce, which is more expensive but has lots of other benefits. Just sayin’. | |
| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? @jabbaman I wouldn’t let a 3rd party app stop you. MConnect HD is only $5.99 and works pretty much as well as the Qobuz site. |
