| Does Anybody Remember Rocket Speakers? Ah yes, lots of fond memories of the AV123/Rocket era. It felt like a great community on the forums back then, and the product being delivers was (mostly) very high quality for the money (until it wasn't). Shame about Mark, turned out to be a re... | |
| Upgrade from Joseph Audio Pearls? I agree completely with @soix in that it seems absurd to let audiotroy even use this forum, given the obvious conflict of interest on display in the majority of their posts. While this particular thread was not so egregious, I've seen many other e... | |
| Alchris Audio TX5s Looks like a well designed and somewhat unique monitor speaker for a reasonable price. Never heard of them until I read this post, but it looks promising. My experience with the classic Teresonic Ingenium tells me transmission line designs can h... | |
| Why so many B & W Speakers on the used market? I'll echo what has already been said regarding the sheer number of B&W speakers out there in the wild. It has to be orders of magnitude more than almost any other high end brand. Adding to that, they are sold by some of the more mass market c... | |
| I2S Recommendation I've been demoing many different I2S cables for an upcoming system I'm working on. Already posted this in another thread so I'll just copy/past it here since it feels relevant: I've been trying out a whole bunch of HDMI cables lately for a ded... | |
| Integrated that blew you away @mindhead1 That EX-M1+ does look nice. I wasn't able to get my hands on one to demo, but it looks impressive for sure and has a great reputation so far. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I forgot to come back and update until now. Veritas has an I2S cable coming out soon. They wouldn't give me any hints about it though, so I don't know any details. I'll probably give it a go when it does launch. | |
| Integrated that blew you away I had been enjoying my Primaluna EVO 300 for a few years, compared it to many other options (including some significantly more expensive ones) and in my system the Primaluna just sounded right. Recently I upgraded to a Unison Research Unico 150 ... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @tksteingraber Not sure how helpful I can be since I use the Connexa and Mirus in different systems. I never really compared them in the same setup. In general I hear ethernet cable upgrades as being maybe about the same impact as power cables. ... | |
| T + A streamers. I need help. @mclinnguy You have definitely chosen words that put a positive spin towards Roon. Well yes, because that's the signature I enjoy best. Just like your words about PGGB are positive. A good buddy thinks I'm nuts and that Lightning DS (playing... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found It’s great to see more satisfied users just like myself. I’m currently using multiple Aeris power cables, Audax USB, Argentum R interconnects, and a Connexa network cable all in my main system. Only thing missing is their Aperta or Aperta SE speak... | |
| T + A streamers. I need help. @mgrif104 Sorry to frustrate, that was certainly not my intent. And the last thing I want to do is argue about audio opinions. I just notice a lot of people parrot what they have read on forums about Roon not sounding as good, but when I have a di... | |
| New Product - Schiit Byggy DAC Details I assume the implication is that proprietary designs can overcome whatever limitations might exist from using off the shelf designs. So out of a dozen DAC choices, if 11 of them use some combination of the same D/A chips, opamps in the output stag... | |
| T + A streamers. I need help. Another vote for Roon. Some people claim they hear a downgrade in quality when using Roon, I have not experienced that myself. And I don't see why or how that would be the case. The Roon team is incredibly knowledgeable and focused on delivering ... | |
| Aries-Cerat DAC's I've heard the Helene DAC in a really great system and it was excellent. Really open and natural sounding. Prior to that I believe they were using a more expensive MSB converter which I felt was not as good as the Helene (system owner agreed with ... |
