| Tube DAC ? What streamer/DAC are you using? It would help greatly if you’d share what you’d like to see in terms of improvements and what you value most in sound reproduction. | |
| headphones to use with a Chord Mojo Maybe have a look at the 1More Triple Driver Over Ear ‘phones. Not sure how they’d pair with your Mojo, but sounds like they may offer more detail than your Senns from the mids on up. Best of luck. | |
| Your Pick Between These Two... I got to hear my music on both the Q7s and the Perspectives in different systems. Obviously the Q7s are much more speaker and I respected them a lot for what they could do, but I loved the sound and expressiveness of the Perspectives more. For m... | |
| Very small room! Help me with monitor speakers I’d vote for the LSA-10s for two reasons - I read they targeted the JA Pulsars as their sonic bogey, and they’re extremely easy to drive so should pair well with your amp and sound good at lower volumes. Best of luck. | |
| Center speaker placement? Mounting the center above the TV could probably work with adjusting the delay, but I’d think optimally you’d need to angle it downward so the tweeter fires more toward your ears. Aesthetically (or sonically) that may not be the most elegant solut... | |
| Welcome to Headphones Boy, this discussion group is seeing some action lately! (Not!)I’d think this could be a very popular group as ‘phones have become ubiquitous in society and popular among audiophiles as well, but it’s buried down toward the bottom of the “topics” ... | |
| Adding a tube DAC to my BLUESOUND VAULT I think you may need to up your budget to the $1000 or so level and look for a used MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror Tubadour. You might also consider a solid state R2R NOS DAC that tend to have a more “analog” type sound, but those too will be tough ... | |
| Best DAC for SONY SCD XA5400es What aspects of sound and DAC performance are most important to you, and what would you like in terms of improvements? | |
| Vivid Audio alternatives My first instinct would be to try YG Acoustics. Best of luck. | |
| Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less A nice thing about the Tubadour is you can buy it in stock form now to fit your budget and make a significant upgrade to SE status in the future if desired. Nice to have the option. You can read the review by @teajay in Stereo Times that compares ... | |
| Persona 3fs - Need advice for 2.1 or 3.1 system in bedroom Given the quality of the speakers and amp, I think the 7705 will be a significant bottleneck to your overall performance, and especially for music. I’d either upgrade to an Anthem AV processor or add a good stereo preamp with a HT bypass so the 7... | |
| best budget amp/preamp for B&W 805 D3s Still, $3k is a big jump over $1k, and I doubt you’ll get an H390 for near that — maybe an H360. But I do think the Hegel is a good idea for your 805s, and a used H300 can be had for around $1500 and will also sound fantastic. Best of luck. | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. i want someone to tell me this is the best my system is going to getThey could, but they’d just be lying. Back in the real world...First, and as much as I like jazz, I find it sad you don’t listen to other types of music, especially now where str... | |
| Looking to upgrade DAC from SA8005 I demoed a stock RLD1 years ago in my system, which includes a DNA 0.5 RevA, and found it to be a little polite sounding up top and not on the level of my amp so I’d guess it’s not doing any favors for your excellent amp. I bet a modded RLD1 soun... | |
| streaming source Another vote for Qobuz. I started with Tidal last year, but then Qobuz offered a hi-res subscription for $15/mo. that I tried and never went back to Tidal. As far as I’m concerned, Tidal can keep their MQA. As a picky audiophile I’m more than h... |
