| Importance of streamer in audio chain In audio everything matters, and that certainly holds for streamers and DACs. | |
| Wilson Sabrina X ... oh my God! and Jadis... or? Well, since you got the sound that really floored you with the Jadis it’s hard to think of not going with that. I’d go through the break-in process with your current amp and just see how that goes — maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised and save y... | |
| If you had to choose... You’ve zeroed in on some great choices. The Fritz and Revival monitors are very likely “can’t possibly go wrong” choices, and I’d just go by which seem to exhibit the sound characteristics you’re looking for most. The Alyssa, while no doubt a gr... | |
| Songs this good don't come around every day. With a name like Iris it’s got to be good. 😉 Seriously though, very nice song and thanks for sharing. Gave it a listen on Qobuz where, not surprisingly, it sounds even better. | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? So the question was - what is exactly different in $10K streamer as compared to $1K. @mikhailark You’ve now been told by several experienced people here that things like parts quality, noise reduction, power cables, implementation, etc. matter ... | |
| Looking for RCA cables from preamp to amp? What’s your budget for each pair? Is 2-channel any more important than multichannel? | |
| Cabling Recommends Simaudio Ace/Totem Forest Wow, you do not mess around! I’m not familiar with the Sim, but it sounds like an impressive little beast. Super glad you’re happy — congrats and enjoy!!! | |
| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio It’s really hard to see going wrong with a couple Rhythmik F12G subs and along with your MLs should be quite something using all four. FWIW, and best of luck. | |
| Persona B Amp Recommendations Given what you’re looking for, some brands I’d look at off the top of my head would be Coda, Atmasphere GaN, AGD, Bryston, and Ayre. Best of luck. | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? We take turns meeting at each member’s home, allowing each member to host and present/share their music, food, wine/drinks and good company. Most of the members have various consumer-level listening stations: AV receivers, Bluetooth soundbars and... | |
| All around headphone amp recommendations Not enough info to go on here to make a meaningful recommendation, and I’ve got better things to do with my time than take shots in the dark. I’ll just say you’re better off driving the headphone amp from your Classe pre if you can because it’s pr... | |
| Bluesound @mashif I had a full AMHD subscription along with Qobuz, and I found the sound quality of Qobuz to be superior to Amazon but the difference was so meaningful that I found myself wondering if I was hearing the full HD recordings on Amazon. How do t... | |
| All around headphone amp recommendations Do you need an amp with a volume control or just a power amp, and are you looking for solid state or are you open to a tube amp? What’s your budget, and what sound characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Power Cables <$500 for Digital Sources @ghdprentice may I suggest you study network protocols and operating systems? Oops. Me thinks someone finally just barked up the wrong tree of a fellow IT guy who actually knows what he’s talking about when it comes to digital audio. 🍿🍿🍿 | |
| a naive question about HT speakers As the center speaker carries the majority of the load for HT it’s worth spending a little more to get that one as good as possible IMHO. This SVS center isn’t much more than the C10 but has a dedicated midrange that’s located below the tweeter t... |
