| JBL M2 Vs 4367 I would look at alternatives to the M2's Crown amps if you already have M2's. The best I've heard of is using a Motu Ultralite MK V multichannel DAC/USB interface ($600), 4 channels of Hypex MP502 such as Buckeye Amps ($1200), and having Mitch Bar... | |
| New speakers for a new start? @devinplombier I have the Dutch & Dutch 8c's in a rather difficult room for bass, asymmetric and uneven. I place them 30cm from the front wall, use their built-in adjustments, and the bass is the best I've every had in this room, flat to 20hz.... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks I have a Modwright LS300 fully balanced preamp, with dual balanced outputs, which I'm using with AtmaSphere Class D's. They are a very nice combination, and work well together. That said, my dealer (UniqueHomeAudio) has a used AtmaSphere MP1 for ... | |
| New Acquired Sopra 2 I used a Modwright KWH-225i hybrid integrated with Sopra No 2's, had HT bypass standard. It sounded very good too. | |
| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp Surprised at no mention of Modwright yet. I have the Modwright LS300 (dual mono balanced) and the choice of rectifiers and 9-pin tubes allows a lot of tuning to get to warm or "meat on the bones" if that is what you want. The new LS99 is a scaled ... | |
| Has anyone heard the BACCH-SP "purifier" 3D audiophile imager? My system is up to date in my profile. You'll see it's rather modest by high end standards here, though not mid-fi level either. ~$5k investment in the Bacch4Mac is not out of line for it at all. The SP ADIO, though much more costly, easily co-exi... | |
| Has anyone heard the BACCH-SP "purifier" 3D audiophile imager? I have the Bacch4Mac and continue to enjoy it immensely. It is the real deal, worth every bit of the investment to me. I rarely play anything where i feel it is affecting the presentation negatively. If so, just bypass it with one click, easy. Wh... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other @drbond Florida Audio Expo is a nice show, which was growing until Covid slammed everything shut. I'll be attending for a couple days, coming up from Sanibel. Dealers tend to show there also, so they tend to bring what they have on hand in terms o... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other @drbond This has been a fascinating thread following your journey, so thanks for putting it out there and enduring. Your quest is similar in some ways to my own, also in Florida with the many of the same local challenges you mention. I currently... | |
| Review on the Rockna Audio Wavelight Pre/DAC just went up on Stereo Times I've had a new Wavelight for a few days, though I'm also waiting for new speakers to arrive, so can't speak to sonics much yet. Just a couple functional points to add. While it can be used as a preamp with its analog volume control, there is no ph... | |

| What amp to match with Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire open back speakers Take a look at the Digital Amp Company Maraschino (Cherry) amps. Several Spatial owners are using these and are very happy with them. He regularly has very good demo pricing if you call or email him, well within your budget. There is a detailed Y... | |
| In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music So saddened to hear this. I had nothing but fantastic experience with my VSM-MXe's, thanks to the loving care with which he designed and built them, and the ever present ongoing support. We had many conversations on the phone, as well as in person... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... I bought a Starrett 98-8 precision machinist's level for use with the Salvation and T3Pro. It seemed like ridiculous overkill at first, but once I used it, I found it worth every penny (~$130 on Amazon) in setting up the unsuspended Salvation for ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Sorry, mine has been down since I did the mag bearing upgrade, due to a move over the past few months. I'm building a new listening room, but hope to have a temporary one set up in a week or two. Hopefully I can get a good dose of the upgraded Sal... |
