| Chinese DAC's we are all getting F@cked by the F'ELON. She's an activist. We knew tariffs were coming and she could have prepared. It's not going to last forever. | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles @gano I never had a good meatloaf in restaurants. Homemade, yes. Same experience, I wonder why they can't get it right but when I make it at home, it's always fantastic. | |
| Need advice from the gurus. Quick update, I just picked up a McIntosh C2800 - got a great deal on a new one from my local dealer. I did a few song demos and it sounded fantastic but they had it going through some high-end Focals so that’s a given. I can hopefully cross the... | |
| Need advice from the gurus. @jeffbij Do you think there is any appreciable difference between a true balanced circuit and Gato’s implementation? I assume as long as the circuits are well designed it should be good regardless. | |
| Need advice from the gurus. @jeffbij This is per 6moons regarding the AMP-150, I assume the "AE" version is identical. "The input PCB sits near the back plate and sports NEC relays and an analog BB PGA2320 resistor-ladder IC. As a single-ended circuit, the XLR i/o ports ar... | |
| Need advice from the gurus. @gano to me it screams that you have don't have speakers that stand out, just 3 pairs in similar range. I would sell two pairs and upgrade. True, none of these blow me away. They sound good in their own ways but I may need to stretch t... | |
| Need advice from the gurus. @deep_333 Lrs+ without a good servo subwoofer would be an incomplete speaker and it needs a sub’s help all the way up to around 200 hz. A pair of rythmik Fm8 subs set up on the front stage, integrated correctly should do the job. I have a Marti... | |
| Need advice from the gurus. @jl35 I was just thinking - why not just bypass the fuse altogether if you're just going to replace it with a silver slug? Wouldn't nothing be better still? | |
| Need advice from the gurus. @jl35 I'm redoing my room soon and will keep that in mind. The fuse and jumper mods might be worth looking into, thank you for the suggestion. | |
| Need advice from the gurus. Yeah Jason, you have to take it with a grain of salt but it's still pretty cool. | |
| Need advice from the gurus. So ChatGPT recommended the following: Final Thoughts: What Would I Do? Stick with the Magnepan LRS+ if you love vocals and soundstage. Maybe keep the Omegas for a different flavor. Consider trying a more powerful amp for the LRS+ at som... | |
| Need advice from the gurus. @mwh777 Interesting tactic... I'll give it a go. | |
| Need advice from the gurus. @jl35 What did you move on to from the Gato? I forgot to mention my sub, it's a Martin Logan Dynamo 800X. I inherited that from my father as well. Seems to work fine with the Gato and Magnepans. | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion Jay's Magico A-1s sound really awesome but he has insane gear and room correction so there's that. | |
| Do I Really Need a Dedicated Streamer? @jssmith Thank you sir, I have a SMSL DAC as well (DO200) and it sounds pretty good to me. I am on the lookout for a DAC/Streamer to consolidate my system to save on space. |
