| klipshorn speakers I would also like to recommend the crite’s speaker (formally known as the cornscala). I absolutely love mine. I run it with a McIntosh mx110z and Bob Latino ST-120. You can save quite a bit of $$$ with these and get a hell of a lot more bass than ... | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. I would also like to recommend tubes4hifi, Bob Latino’s amps. I built the St-120 and had a blast doing it. It sounds terrific too! Bob was always quick to answer questions via email. I also learned a lot about tube amps while doing it. It’s been a... | |
| Does a Tube Dac make sense? I use to have a jolida jd 100 which had a tubed output stage. It wasn’t very good and got replaced with a musically cd/dac. The music hall is 10 times better. I do run tube separates and I have the mytek liberty now. It sounds very good. | |
| Got a Node 2i, what's next? Forgot to add that the mytek has spdif, toslink, and usb inputs as well as balanced and unbalanced outputs. | |
| Got a Node 2i, what's next? I have the same and I’ve gone pretty deep down the rabbit hole, but I did it in steps. In my opinion it was well worth it. First thing is to use a wired Ethernet connection, I use a fiber optic bridge from my router. Second thing I did was upgrade... | |
| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? Check out the Mytek liberty. American company, does Mqa through spdif, coax, or usb, also a headphone amp. I couldn’t be happier with mine, especially since I added a linear power supply. This thing sings! Also if you should need service, it goes ... | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. BOTW p&p mk2 Sbooster for my mytek liberty. Also got a pair of sennheiser 660s cans, which I absolutely love. | |
| Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC I’ve been pondering this question for weeks, and the bluesound node 2i’s manual does not clarify. I’m told that the node only does the full unfold via a usb connection. The only problem though, is the node only has a usb input. So this has left me... | |
| What do you sit on? Just got an eames replica (one of the nicer ones) and not only is it very comfortable, but it lowered me in front of the speakers. A huge improvement to sound quality! | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! Tube amps and horn speakers. | |
| Better Integrated Amp? Horn speakers with a tube amp. | |
| JBL 4349 or Klipsch Cornwall IV Check out Bob Crites’s “cornscala” speaker (now known simply as Crites speaker). Like the cornwalls they are a 3 way horn loaded speaker. I own a pair and imho are just fantastic. I run them with a vta st-120, and at 60w per channel they’ll blow y... | |
| Bluesound node 2i DAC VS Vincent SA-T7 DAC Finally got a 75ohm s/pdif coax and I prefer it. | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? I upgraded in stages as well and I think I have a good dialed in synergistic system. I would like your opinions. Bob Latino st-120 amp, Vincent sa-T7 pre, music hall cd/dac, bluesound node 2i, thorens td 125 w/Hana eh. Bob Crites cornscala speaker... | |
| JBL L65 vs Forte III vs Cornwall IV I have a pair of Bob Crites cornscala’s type “c” that I’m very happy with. I’m running them with a Bob Latino st-120 and a Vincent as-t7. Sounds amazing |
