| Audioquest Water interconnects What specific improvements/sound characteristics are you looking for, and do you need balanced or RCA? | |
| Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it? I can’t imagine why you felt the need to slam @2psyop, who had bad luck with Odyssey, with a lecture parroting what klaus just stated a few posts before. @jetter I was responding to a statement he made to me earlier, and you’ve completely m... | |
| reliable DDC Of the thousands of ChiFi DDCs sold this is the first post I’ve seen here about any units failing, which is a pretty strong indication there is no widespread issue with these products or we’d undoubtedly be hearing a lot more about it. I’ll also ... | |
| Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it? I have to disagree with you again... sorry man. If you go to audiocircle.com and go through his own Odyssey Audio thread you will find all the problems. Has he gotten new suppliers for his transformers? Who knows. @2psyop Odyssey has been in b... | |
| Building a second, vinyl focused system. Speaker advice needed! (<$10k) One of the few speakers I can think of that could tick all your boxes is the ProAc D30RS, especially with its ability to disappear and produce a voluminous and holographic 3D soundstage that appears to be very important to you. Very few speakers ... | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound My first thought was a line array and/or dipole speaker like the Nola Baby Grand, Genesis Forte, etc., but they are mostly out of your price range even used. But I found this Pure Audi... | |
| reliable DDC I bought a used Denafrips Iris and have had no problems whatsoever nor have I heard of anyone having issues with their DDCs, and the Singxer SU6 is maybe even a little better and have seen no issues with that unit either. Not sure what you’ve bee... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers Can I get somewhat satisfying sound from an under $1,000 streamer (often mentioned are $200 to $400 cheap streamers)? @fleschler Sure you can. A Bluesound Node with and external LPS from LHY, SBooster, or Teddy Pardo will get you pretty decen... | |
| Marantz SACD 30N @hoodjem So as you say the 30n is a Jack of all trades, but the flip side of that is that it’s a master of nothing. It’s a transport, DAC, streamer, Bluetooth player, and preamplifier for $3k, and how much of that do you think goes into the DAC?... | |
| Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it? @2psyop I’m really sorry you had such a bad experience and that sucks, but you’re literally the only one I’ve ever heard mention reliability problems with any Odyssey products so it does not seem to be a widespread or common problem. If it was I... | |
| Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it? Are they worth it - meaning - Are they a good buy, sound quality for the cost? This totally depends on what specific improvements you’re looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you. What amp are you using now, what’s y... | |
| Cable Quest @kofibaffour Well good for you — you get to save some nice $$$ to spend on something else. Just goes to show how important it is to be able to try cables in your system first or buy used to limit risk. | |
| Looking for a DAC to pair w/ Jay's transport mk2 If you could stretch a bit here’s a Lampi Big7 that’d likely do what you’re looking for. Best of luck. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650201052-lampizator-big-7-gen4-dac/ | |
| Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona? I’d bet that there are many near full-range speakers that sell at multiples of the V10 that don’t have near the innovative design, custom drivers, or overall expertise that went into this speaker. Whether you like them or not is a personal matter... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations If I was you I’d strongly consider auditioning one of the AGD GaN amps. By all accounts they sound excellent and are easily user upgradeable for the future, which is really nice. Maybe you can find a dealer from the link below, and they’re not n... |
