| Harbeth Super HL5+ vs. Focal Kanta No.2 Did you ever take a listen to the D7's? Very dynamic and tight in the lows with clean treble on top. | |
| Best improvement for the buck Depending on who you ask the correct answer is "room treatments" or "sell all your gear and buy a Raven integrated and a pair of Tektons". | |
| I can prove your room is bad While I'm a huge proponent of applying smart room treatments I don't believe the room should fail to influence the sound at all. That's what's implied by suggesting the best sound you can get from your room is benchmarked at extreme nearfield lis... | |
| Have you ever wondered who sets the trends in the hi-end speaker industry? The consumer sets the trends. If nobody is buying it why build it? | |
| Pass Labs 30.8 or Clayton Audio S-40 there was nothing offensive written in @tvad 's posts. He must have voluntarily removed them. | |
| Low volume listening dynamics Completely agree about the quality of the first watt and high sensitivity of the speakers for quality low-volume listening...but also consider high efficiency speakers with a flat impedance to really coax some magic out of a low volume. | |
| You want it? No | |
| Shipping co. recommendations (CHI -> SF) What size are the speakers? If these are bookshelf then you can probably pack them well enough yourself to withstand the torture that UPS and FedEx will inflict via normal dropping and conveyors. For floorstanders I highly recommend shipping via ... | |
| Sound, neutrality and the pursuit of everything For me it’s a pursuit in self exploration. Being exposed to different music reproduction systems and components allows me to explore my musical priorities and embark on the journey of building something based on what I’ve learned about myself and ... | |
| Synergistic UEF Blue v. Cerious Graphene Matrix Power v. Mad Scientist Audio Nitro Nano @angelus09 Seeking a PC that can best the Powerchord-e under 1k, preferably less. I picked up my Purist for just under $1K used. | |
| Lampizator to which dedicated music streamer? @lalitk May we know, which Lampizator DAC you own? A source (streamer) is just as critical as your downstream components. Good point. Recommendations for using a Node 2i to feed a $25K Pacific DAC could seem a bit of a mismatch. | |
| Lampizator to which dedicated music streamer? I would look into the Innuous Zen series. I'm actually doing that right now with the thought of acquiring a Lampi sometime down the road. USB. | |
| Synergistic UEF Blue v. Cerious Graphene Matrix Power v. Mad Scientist Audio Nitro Nano While I haven't tried any of the PC's you're contemplating, I do run a Pass XA30.8 and recently changed the stock cord for a Purist Audio Corvus Luminist. Within 48 hrs I was noting substantial improvements in smoothness, clarity, detail, and liq... | |
| Node 2i use with external DAC You will note a significant SQ upgrade moving from the Node 2i DAC to something in the $1500+ range for sure (e.g. Schiit Yggy, Benchmark DAC3, Chord Qutest). In one of my systems I'm using the Node 2 to stream into a Benchmark DAC3 and it's a bi... | |
| Recommendations for floor standers that sound good at low levels too Look for paper cone, high sensitivity 96dB+, high load impedance 10ohms+. Adds up to great sound at low volumes. |
