| A good AES cable for Jay’s Audio CD 3 MK3 Transport The Acoustic Zen MC2 is excellent — nicely detailed yet very natural and musical and $590/1m. Not sure what you’re looking for sonically or price wise but read the reviews that are universally very positive for both sound and value, and I fully c... | |
| Revel F36 or Dali Oberon 7 The F36 looks like it’s available here at a 15% discount… https://upscaleaudio.com/products/revel-concerta2-f36-floorstanding-loudspeaker-each | |
| Anyone Else Tried Darwin Cables? Congrats! I’ve only read very positive things about their cables and would love to try them at some point. | |
| Pre Amp Question. Old or New? LTA offers something like a 15-day trial period just fyi. | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? Thanks for the follow up and glad you ended up in a happy place. Just shows some things are just worth paying for. | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? I'm not sure about the Mojo... PCM only and no DSD support. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I see that as a limitation. Same goes for the LTA Most DACs don’t do native DSD and convert it to PCM anyway. I know T+A is one that does native DSD. | |
| Looking for an AMP to match JA Pulsar and Lampi Sorry, I don’t know anything about Qualiton separates, but given the high praise for their x200 integrated I’d expect good things. For what you’re looking for I’d go with a tube pre and solid state amp, and a relatively neutral tube pre like ARC ... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers While there are a few naysayers here who think streamers can’t sound different just like there are naysayers here who say cables don’t make a difference, the vast, vast majority here find significant improvements as they move up to better and usua... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget I have to mention the Usher Dancer Mini-Two that are beautiful and very high quality, and because they’re one of the few companies that manufacture their own drivers they use the same diamond tweeter as in their $42k flagship and they get down to ... | |
| Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona? Very cool. If they can keep this under $10k that’d be a lotta quality speaker for the $$$. If the 888s are 96lbs I gotta believe these will be close to 120lbs each. | |
| Aal in one streamer/dac or seperates Both the DAC and streamer are important, and I personally like keeping them separate. For a streamer look at Innuos as their Sense app is widely regarded as the best available in a streamer and even rivals Roon it’s so good. Pair that with a goo... | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? Here are a few worth looking at given what you’re looking for. Best of luck. https://www.mojo-audio.com/demo-mystique-y-am-d-a-converter/ https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbcf2a-denafrips-terminator-dac-15-terminator-new-terminator-15-dac-pl... | |
| Weird crackling from speakers when preamp connected I’d be going back to that service guy and politely ask WTF??? It was working before he got it and doesn’t work fine when you got it back. Pretty damn simple math there, and I’d be right pissed off if I was you. | |
| Wanting to upgrade my speakers Take a look at the Usher Dancer Mini-Two speakers that are about the same price as the MoFi. Gorgeous high-quality build and sound and simply an outstanding value for what you get. One of the few companies that makes their own drivers, which is ... | |
| Integrated Amp Pairing for Harbeth 30.2 At this level I would definitely get a separate phono stage. What improvements and/or sound characteristics are you looking for? |
