| Gold coated brass speaker spades Brass??? No. Who is the manufacturer? No reason to keep it a secret. Plenty of other good cable manufacturers out there. | |
| The Museum vs. Galleries I’d say 80% of my listening is now new or relatively new discoveries. There’s so much great new (at least to me) and well-recorded music out there I’m finding on Qobuz that I rarely feel the itch to listen to my older stuff although it does still... | |
| Anyone at home at Krell? Anyone would be upset after what has happened. However, it’s not Krell, It’s the legal process. The owner passed so there was no, "them" to let their customers twist in the wind. Just curious as what brand you are moving? @bulldogger They’ve be... | |
| Six DAC Comparison So, if I’m reading you right it seems that the Mojo has bits of both the LTA and Merason that you like without going too far and then weaves them into a more cohesive and engaging presentation for your tastes. Sound about right? | |
| Anyone at home at Krell? Nice of them to let their existing customers twist in the wind for a couple months before bothering to release this. Krell’s service was questionable before this unfortunate fiasco and doubt it’ll get better after this inexcusable PR disaster. I... | |
| speakers that are a little laid back in the mids OP, did you try pulling the speakers out further into the room? | |
| Six DAC Comparison Another very helpful and insightful write up. I know you may be going somewhat on aural memory, which is always dangerous, but how did the LTA compare with the Merason? Or am I jumping the gun and is that info you’re saving for your summary piece? | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? I am surprised at your experience with the Pass XP-12, I added one to my system this year and it is an excellent pre, with zero grain or sibilance that I can detect. @zlone @hkfan Yeah, that’s why I’m throwing my hands up on this one. Someth... | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? Well, I’m at a loss as to how you’ll get “more oomph” or “more power for transients” as I just don’t know what that means. I will say that after looking at your setup I think it’s highly unlikely your sub is positioned anywhere near optimally in ... | |
| Need suggestions on preamp I’m thinking of getting a Conrad Johnson preamp and calling it a day. At least that preamp should grow with me if I decide to go with some other posters suggestions of going with the brighter Monitor Audio. That’s not a good idea if you’re loo... | |
| Best Bookshelf Speakers for "more" than near-field listening Hello, I am looking to choose one of several small bookshelf speakers that I own Um, if you own them why are you asking us??? Just listen to them and pick the ones that sound best with your music. If it’s me I’d go with the ProAcs because the... | |
| Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers As long as the int amp was not harsh on highs & mids and bass was handled well (which both of the amps I have now work well with the bass drivers on these speakers). Forget Emotiva. Here’s a nice Plinius Hautonga well under your price rang... | |
| Upgrade to PS Audio Direcstream Mk1 and Mac Mini? Glad to hear the Lamm was an improvement but can’t say I’m at all surprised. Likewise I’m pretty sure you’re gonna hear very significant improvements with the Meitner as you’re likely making big upgrades to both DAC and streamer, both of which are... | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? All competently designed (low noise/distortion/output impedance) amps will be indistinguishable. Well that’s just silly. BTW, I agree adding a second sub is a good idea. | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? I’d think this SMcAudio DNA 1 would be worth a try and should be negotiable down to $2k at this point I’d think. Plus, if you like what you hear you can send it back in for the more recent upgrades to get even more and still be well below your bu... |
