| 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... | |

| 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? | |
| Weird crackling from speakers when preamp connected Sorry, that sucks. What maintenance did you have done? The times I’ve heard something like that was from dirty connections between components and interconnects, so if you haven’t I’d try cleaning those connections especially on the VTL with Deox... | |
| Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home but with More Sparkle ? I like the GPs for the same reasons you do but have the same concern with the upper treble especially as a drummer as I need to hear the bite/stick hitting the cymbal and shimmer/decay if it’s in the recording and the GPs mute that to a large degr... | |
| Cable synergy with BAT electronics With that question all you’ll get is what cables other people like with their BAT and other equipment for their tastes that may have little to do with what you are looking for. Better to share what you’re using now, what specific improvements you... | |
| First system, bought Yamaha AS-1200, wondering about what DAC to pair it with ? You can save yourself some $$$ with this Musician Pegasus R2R DAC, and the seller takes returns so low risk to try. I own it and it has both transparency and musicality that’s rare at this price, and you can switch between NOS and oversampling mo... | |
| Pre Amp Question. Old or New? Personally I’d take either this LTA MZ3 or Backert Rhumba 1.3 over the RP-5 just for a couple alternatives and suspect either would perform more inline with the RP-7. Best of luck. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650198006-linear-tube-audio... |
