| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? @temmple Very cool, if you try one, post about it. I'm also looking at the Kinki EX-M7. | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) That'd be great, ricevs, I'm interested in seeing that. | |
| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? Thanks for that reply, I really enjoyed it to be honest. I wish I could express myself even half as well as that. To your point, yes, I’m being over zealous even though I should know better. I’m fairly new to this world and I tend to get caught up... | |
| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? Also, yes,I know the Pass gear is neither Class D or hybrid. :) | |
| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? Apologies, I tend to be scatter brained. I’ll clarify. I’m in the market for a new solid state amp or hybrid. I am heavily considering either the Pass Labs XA-25 and some sort of preamp or the INT-25. I saw Steve Huff’s review of the Heaven 11... | |
| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? Yep I’m up on the specs/topology of both amps but I’m hearing the Billie MK2 is unique in its sound signature. Apparently the preamp section is very good. Just fishing for opinions from those who’ve heard it. | |
| The revolution has begun! @ricevs - That VTV GaNFET looks like a winner, hope it sounds like one. You mentioned bi-amping. How would you get a coax input signal into both amps? Do you have to use a splitter? | |
| Any Modwright CXN v2 owners who want to share their experience? @chayro - thanks, looking at Underwood's site now. | |
| Any Modwright CXN v2 owners who want to share their experience? @knighttodd Hey there, I'm looking for a new DAC to replace my Chord Qutest and I've been looking at the Audio GD products. Their website is really confusing and I can't tell which one I should shoot for. I think the R-7HE MK2 is the one I want... | |
| Crown XLS 2500 - the best amp value per dollar? @peterbatah I think they're made in Mexico. | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes @noske Rogue Audio for one. Tube amps aren’t going to double power like you suspect, they are not the same as a solid state amp. Power is going to nominally the same at each tap but the output voltage will change. Of course, it’s best to consult t... | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes @noske You can have a 4 ohm nominal speaker sound just fine running the 8 ohm tap on a tube amp. My experience has been you just have to try and see what sounds best. Even the manufacturer will say this. | |
| Vinyl - One Word - WOW!! Vinyl is pure nostalgia, don't get too wrapped up into it. If you want true analog, you need to go R2R but bring deep pockets. | |
| What's the best non-DAC streamer? @everest_audio thanks for the suggestions. The Innuos Zen S may actually be the setup for me. I don’t need the DAC function but the ability to rip CDs is very nice. I’ll check out the Pulse too. Did you notice if the Pulsemini sounded better t... | |
| What's the best non-DAC streamer? Great discussion. I have an ifi Zen Stream and I’m curious if the ones mentioned here are much better? It’s the next thing on my list to upgrade. I just want a streamer “transport”, I don’t need any storage or server functions. |
