| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC Thank you for the generous compliment! I read the suggested reviews on futureaudiophile which were well done - I really like the structure and formatting of their reviews over there. I’ve also been following that audiophilestyle sub on the DAC200 ... | |
| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC I play Spotify on this DAC and it is a completely different and pleasure-inducing machine. I am constantly surprised how a DAC can be so clear without sounding harsh. I had previously associated “cleaner” with “sharper”. My perspective changed w... | |
| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC I’ve been eying the DAC 200 for quite some time, as well as the M3, and Sonnet Pasithea. With the DAC 200 I’ve heard that HQ Player and DSD is the way to go, but I’ve also read extremely good things about PCM with this DAC. @milpai happy so far wi... | |
| Conrad Johnson Mf-2500a amp and PF-1 Preamp Recap? I've read somewhere CJ doesn't really like to do recaps on old gear so looking for some guidance. Costs? I vaguely remember hearing this as well. I own/owned the MF-2300A and PV-14LSII. What I can say is that I’ve contacted cj multiple times t... | |

| 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 ... |
