| BEL 1001 MK5 driving Joseph Audio Pulsars Should be fine. Bigger question is if they’re a good sonic pairing with the Pulsars. | |
| Best value IEM phones for travel use from Android. All the Periodic guys run around RMAF in Lab Coats.@ Ha! They MUST be good then. Seriously though, thanks for the info. Sounds interesting and will check them out. | |
| Tidal MQA vs Qobuz hi-res Not sure if your equipment is doing all the unfolds for MQA? Personally I’m happy with Qobuz and won’t let MQA dictate what DAC I can buy. Tidal can pound sand for all I care. | |
| 'Anthem Room Software You could also look at something like the DSpeaker anti mode 2.0 dual core unit that has everything including a display so no computer necessary. I think it only corrects up to 500Hz or so, but that covers the biggest problem areas so may be all ... | |
| Aegir upgrade to Pass...maybe I’d recommend giving Valvet amps a good look as well. | |
| $5k or less speakers (used or new)? LSA Statement 20s available here new for $3999 on sale and come with nice speaker cables as a bonus, and they offer a 30-day, in-home trial. Part Time Audiophile did a nice review of them where they compared favorably with the reviewer’s $25k refe... | |
| $5k or less speakers (used or new)? Need to know what sound/performance characteristics you’re looking for and value most. Also, how big is your room and what amp will you be using? | |

| Moon 340iX or Naim Supernait 2/3 for Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 Definitely the Moon over the Naim given what you’re looking for. Frankly, it sounds like you’d appreciate some tube magic in your system. I’d recommend checking out the Unison Unico Due integrated that has a tube preamp section with a pseudo Cla... | |
| need more power There’s a setting in your AVR somewhere that should allow you to decrease dynamic range or might be called “night” setting or something. I’d try that first as it might immediately solve the problem for free. Best of luck. | |
| Speaker Choices For My System Given what you value — and I say this as a huge JA and Vandy fan — I’d point you toward the ATC SCM40 v2 or SCM50. Their beefy dome midrange will blow you away with vocals and everything midrange like no other, and your amp has plenty of juice to... | |
| Recommendations for next headphone I’m gonna be sick. | |
| Speaker Choices For My System What sound qualities or performance aspects do you care about most? | |
| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? There aren’t too many universal truths in this hobby as everyone hears differently and values different things, but two things I’ve found to be pretty universal are 1) everything matters and 2) the audio chain is only as strong as the weakest link... | |
| yet another tube preamp recommendation thread Don Sachs Custom Line Stage also worth a look. Best of luck. |
