| Neutral Dac? The most neutral DAC I have heard is the Rockna Wavedream. The edition and signature tonally are the same. You get more detail and an even bigger soundstage with the signature vs the edition. the thing about the Wavedream is the sound profi... | |
| When people upgrade from Thiel Ultimately you want to pick a speaker that is going to deliver more of what you love about Thiel. I would specifically want to know what your preferences are. That said, Kef, Focal, Marten, and Vivid are common upgrades with Vivid delivering... | |
| Musical Fidelity MX-Stream first listen @jerryg123 I am working on more dealers for CANOR. Last year it was just me. Now we have 4 total. Will add more through time | |
| Musical Fidelity MX-Stream first listen @fuzztone ProJect and Musical Fidelity are owned by the same company. I will have to look into what is different beyond the logo and the outer case. I really hope it is more than $200. @jjss49 i have not listened to iFi. I hear great things ... | |
| Advice on a tube tester I don’t stock that tube. Quicker getting them straight from Jac. I might not charge you shipping. | |
| Advice on a tube tester I am an EML retailer. I stock EML tubes when I can get them. That is my primary relationship with Jac. I don’t so too much more in terms of parts and transformers. | |
| Advice on a tube tester I just bought a new Amplitrex. It is easy enough to use and "computer mode" greatly enhances the set of functions. Not cheap but well worth the money. That said, I sell a lot of tubes and this unit is sort of essential for me to be able to comm... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC Daniel Weiss owns and operates the company. He is a busy guy and can’t respond to every customer issue. Your first inquiry when having trouble should be to your dealer. That is literally our job and why we make money on these products. We are y... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? I would look seriously at the Vivid Kaya 90s. They are excellent speakers that are very resolving and sound much bigger than you would expect. There is certainly the Raidho X series which is awesome sound long and has some great products in that... | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? Wilson Benesch Endeavour 3zero has got to be on this list. I have the Discovery 3zeros and the Audiophile Junkie speculated they might be the best stand-mount speaker in the world when he was in my room at AXPONA. The Endeavours are technically ... | |
| would I benefit getting a balanced amp (BAT 55se) - given my pre-amp is RCA output My experience is that BAT amps are dreadful unless paired with a BAT preamp. At minimum, a differentially balanced preamp like an Ayre is required or it sounds bad. It will connect and the signal will play with RCA to XLR cables. It will not ... | |
| Shipping 80lb amps. The magic number for FedEx is 65lbs in a cardboard box. Above that, the likelihood of damage increases exponentially. My advice is send it FedEx freight on a pallet. I know this costs more but will radically decrease the likelihood of damage. ... | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply I preface this by saying that if you use an external power supply on your Chord products it will void any warranties you may have. That said, I had a customer trade in a Dave, MScaler, and a Sean Jacobs DC4 for each item. It did make a noticeabl... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming I did a test not long ago comparing local FLAC 16/44.1, 24/192, streamed FLAC 16/44.1 and 24/192 and the actual CD and SACD version. Tested all using an Antipodes K50 with Samsung SSD into a Playback MPS-6 and then played the CD on the MPS-6s tra... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I would definitely revise my suggestion based on the different speakers. Bricasti would remain. As would Audiobyte and Rockna. I would also look at the Wavelight from Rockna which is a bit warmer than the Bricasti and I would definitely second ... |
