| Pairing Bookshelf Speakers to my Yamaha A-S801 At that price the Totem Bison and MoFi SourcePoint 8 would be great ones to look into, and if you can stretch a little further the Fritz Carbon 7, ProAc Response DB3, and Revival Atalante 3 would be really excellent as well. All of these are good... | |
| Analysis Plus Oval 9 I tried them in my system years ago and found them tonally natural but a bit lacking in upper treble detail/air. I ended up going with Acoustic Zen Satoris and never looked back. Are you looking for single or bi-wire cables? | |
| Onkyo,Denon,or Yamaha for DolbyDigital? @mulchy Just fyi, this thread is 24 years old. But I agree that Yammy is much more reliable than pretty much all the others out there, which is not a small thing, plus they’re among the best sounding AVRs as well IME. | |
| Pairing Bookshelf Speakers to my Yamaha A-S801 What’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? Be interested to know your thoughts once you get a new cable. And BTW, your English is excellent. | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? @mdalton There’s no “capeeshing” necessary. You very sadly can’t hear differences in streamers, which makes your opinion on the topic no more useful than a deaf person’s opinion on speakers. Capeesh? | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? @mdalton You can’t hear differences between streamers anyway, so your input as usual is utterly useless and pointless on this topic. | |
| Hi Fi Man Headphones comparisons and owner comments I started out with the HE400S, and when I compared them to the Sundara there was very little difference between the two. Then I moved up to the Arya Stealth and that was at another level as you’d expect given the significantly higher price point.... | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? @mdalton It’s clear that @stevebohnii actually heard significant improvements in going to the Neo from the Zen, so you arguing some individual parts here are there is really pointless gibberish because in the end it’s about the sound and clearly f... | |
| DAC upgrade from RME Forgot to mention the new LTA Aero DAC that also offers a 14-day a trial period and is made in the US. I don’t wanna put words in @teajay mouth, but inferring from his review of the Aero and what he’s said of his experience with the Tubadour (can... | |
| DAC upgrade from RME I agree the RME is doing you no favors in terms of stridency, and although the move to R2R is a logical one I’d beware of going too far into the warm/lush range given where you’re coming from, and Mojo and Border Patrol would be a big sonic shift ... | |

| Amp for Persona B Speakers That’s a great amp — Is it just too warm sounding for you? | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? I think the new Corvette ZR1 is gonna have 1000hp. Yikes. I thought the Z06 was pretty sick as it is. | |
| LAIV Harmony @campo007 This review has some words comparing the Terminator to the Harmony. Cliff’s Notes version, the Sonnet Pasithea dispatched the Terminator, and the Harmony dispatched the Pasithea, but it’s a matter of taste and you can get a basic idea of... |
