| Sub suggestions please For purely aesthetic reasons I went from a Rythmik F12G with paper-based driver to a Classic 98. Their sound profile is more similar than different - they were both a little more rounded with not as much punch, but both integrated well. The F12G d... | |
| Suggestions for a DAC/Streamer to replace BlueOS Node Streamer Apple is a great streaming service, but they really attempt to keep you in their ecosystem which can be limiting. Unsure if you’ve checked lately, but Tidal’s Global and Indian categories have grown over the past three years - may be worth checkin... | |
| Integrated amp for 2500-3000 Way back when I had some VS-120s - very fun speakers. Full transparency, I haven’t listened to my own suggestion, but purely from an aesthetic standpoint the HiFi Rose RA280 may be a nice match. Seems like it would have enough drive as well. | |
| Bob Carver 350 tube amps Oof, I would have never made the connection. Impressive job on figuring that out @dekay | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment The two variables that seem to be holding me back from feeling content are: 1. Identifying preference (historically) 2. Curiosity (currently) I don’t necessarily think this takes away from enjoyment, but I often wonder how a different component... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? substantial increase in tonal density, imaging and dimensionality with a properly integrated sub creating a far more engaging lisening experience. For me, that was the "magic" as opposed to additional "punch" and "rattling" low frequency output.... | |
| Ascend Acoustics - any experienced users? I owned a pair of the Sierra 1s about 15 years ago in piano black which were being driven by conrad-johnson amp (ss) and pre (tube). The only reason they were sold was due to my own economic factors at the time. Nonetheless, they were extremely we... | |
| Receiver @deep_333 thanks for chiming in and providing confirmation. Seems like a good business move, and for what it's worth, my Monolith 5-Channel amp sounded better than the previous Sunfire Cinema Grand Architect Series - though I still love the design... | |
| Fiber to my Etherregen… Sonore OM or generic? 1) Network switch with integral SFP port > Fiber > Sonore Optical Rendu 2) Network switch > copper ethernet > Sonore Optical Module > Fiber > Sonore Optical Rendu @catastrofe it’s a good question that may only be answered b... | |
| New Rel Classic 98 Subwoofer @audiocanada I recently acquired secondhand. The veneer goes perfect with my 1960’s credenza and Tannoy Stirlings. This 2-channel system has been used with a HSU ULS-15, Rythmik F12G, and another no-name sub which was ported. Integrating this sub ... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA Unsure if this will qualify. Due to having uneven floors in addition to wanting to tilt/rake my speakers I inquired whether too much of a tilt utilizing the GIAI IIIs would have negative impact on their effectiveness. IsoAcoustics stated they cou... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. It's interesting to read different perspectives on musical decades and genres that fuel this hobby. I'm not sure if this focus takes away from appreciating what's currently being released, though. There's a vast world of subgenres, starving artist... | |
| Kilpisch + Ojas kO-R1 I can’t answer the question about diffraction, but I do find Devon Turnball extremely interesting. In terms of aesthetics, I like the look of these kO-R1s, but I’m sure many will disagree. The collaborative with Klipsch is unexpected to me (doesn... | |
| Can You Trust a Shipper? (UPS, Fed-Ex, etc) The past two years I’ve been using a local packaging and shipping service that caters to both residential and commercial, nationally and internationally. What I’ve learned from our conversations is that it doesn’t matter if it’s UPS or FedEx - b... | |
| Receiver I like the idea of separates as well. ATI reportedly builds the Monoprice Monolith amps. HSU has been suspected of being involved with the Monoprice Monolith’s subs. I’ve been running a Marantz 7704 with a Monoprice Monolith 5-channel amp and I’v... |
