| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them I'm really curious as to why Fremer left Stereophile for TAS. They must have made him an offer he couldn't refuse.I gave up on TAS when Robert Harley took over. @bdp24 I’m sure they coughed up big bucks for Fremer to lower his standards and dum... | |
| Preamp suggestion for Coincedent M300B Frankenstein mk2 Define what “better” means in your world. Without that critical info this is just a fantasy exercise. | |
| Non-Delta Sigma DAC in £800-£1200 range options? @painter24 In most cases (Holo DACs being one exception where USB is the superior input) an i2S connection via an HDMI cable as short as possible produces significant improvements over SPDIF. AES/EBU seems to be more on par with i2S, but it’s bes... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them At least Stereophile does measurements and usually compares a review product to something comparable. TAS? Nuthin’. Hell, many times they don’t even bother listing the gear in the reviewer’s reference system. What??? Pure advertising and utte... | |
| Preamp suggestion for Coincedent M300B Frankenstein mk2 What improvements are you looking for, and what’s your budget. | |

| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them TAS is nothing but a glorified product catalogue for their advertisers. Big +1. TAS reviews read like product ads and nothing more. Shameful and utterly useless drivel. | |
| Non-Delta Sigma DAC in £800-£1200 range options? Musician Pegasus R2R DAC is very neutral and at US$1100 is a great value. Next step would be to get a DDC to take advantage of the i2S input. Best of luck. | |
| $5K DAC OPTIONS What sound characteristics are most important to you? | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra Definitely interested. | |
| Please recommend speakers for 45 watt SET amps Check out Verity Audio speakers. They fly under the radar a bit but are tube friendly and are extremely musical and natural-sounding speakers with exceptional 3D imaging and soundstage capabilities. Made in Canada. | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra Just heard Spatial speakers at NYC show with Linear Tube Audio electronics and I thought were one of the best sounds I heard by far. Extremely dynamic and, uh, spatial sounding. Big time on my radar as I already have an MZ2 preamp. | |
| Please recommend speakers for 45 watt SET amps Where are you located? | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @cagma7 That’s really interesting info. Thanks!!! | |
| DAC suggestions Hi, I suggest you read all reviews and if possible, listen the DAC RME 2DAC FS… There’s no DAC with so much resources and sound quality! @sacresta Ha! What other DACs have you compared it to? That’s just a silly and ignorant statement. |
