| DAC suggestions You might take a look at the new Gustard R26, or here’s a nice Denafrips Pontus ll for sale on USAM… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649896120-denafrips-pontus-ii-dac-like-new-original-owner-black-finish/ | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I knew I’d regret saying something. My bad. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing There’s obviously much more to good sound than a lack of distortion. Japanese companies tripped all over themselves in the 70s/80s to produce the lowest THD specs and by and large produced amps/receivers that sounded awful. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @temmple I use an iFi iPowerX — never used the stock PS so can’t tell you how much it improved the sound, but I’m very impressed with what I’m hearing FWIW. I didn’t want to spend as much on a PS as I did for the ZS so the iPowerX was a logical/e... | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room Go listen to some systems and bring your own music. I’d think Milwaukee must have a decent audio dealer, and it’s definitely worth a trip to Chicago and check out Holm Audio, etc. as there are several good audio dealers there. The more systems you... | |
| AVR Took A Dirt Nap - Looking To Upgrade This review was of Anthem’s AV Processors. Are you now thinking of going this direction as opposed to an AVR? Anthem has its roots in high-end audio as the HT subsidiary of what was Sonic Frontiers and as such has been a cut above the more mass ... | |
| 12'x16'x8' room OK for good stand mounts? If the JA Audio speakers do it for you, as they do me, you can get them to work. Do as Jeff Joseph did in a small NYC room and position the Pulsars or Prisms so they’re in the corner and the corner is at the highest depth of the speakers and pull ... | |
| NY audio show 2022 @robert53 You need to get head out of butt. Highlighting one crime at a time doesn’t mean the CRIME RATE PER PERSON is up significantly or all over the place in NYC. Do you just not get the concept of percentages? I think not. Believe what yo... | |
| NY audio show 2022 @jond I can present statistics til I’m blue in the face, but those who believe what they see on the news as representative of what actually is happening perpetuate their misinformed opinions — it’s called the availability hypothesis. Just because ... | |

| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz What sound characteristics are important to you and what’s your budget? | |
| AVR Took A Dirt Nap - Looking To Upgrade With your speakers I’d definitely go Anthem all the way. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz The Zen Mini may also not sound all that much better than the Zen Stream unless you also spring for the linear power supply that according to reviews (Darko, etc.) significantly improves performance and adds to the cost. Of course it’s also a ser... | |
| NY audio show 2022 @blisshifi Crimes may be up this year, but let’s keep it in perspective — it’s still nowhere near where it was 22 years ago and much less than in the 70s and 80s where hookers and crime ruled the 42nd street area. Now it’s like a outdoor shopping... | |
| NY audio show 2022 @cerrot That some major crimes are up over the past year doesn’t change the fact that they’re still significantly below where they were 22 years ago. The fact is that of the 8+ million people who live in NYC plus who knows how many more millions ... |
