| Full range speaker for rogue 90 or 100 wpc amp. Monitor Audio Silver speakers will be on budget and sound great with Rogue. That would be my first choice. | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend Listening tests start today. Few other notes for those of you who care:I am using Audioquest Robinhood Speaker Cables, Audioquest Water XLRs between the DACs and integrated amp, Audioquest Diamond USB between 2Yu/2Go and DAC and Audioquest Cinnam... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend Playback Designs is FPGA and made in America. It is a line I am planning to take on at some point. | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend It will not be blind.yes, these are products I carry. If something comes in on trade that makes sense to add, I will. At the moment I don’t have any used DACs/CD players or I would include. What I am not prepared to do is buy, new competitive g... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend So…the M3 is currently burning in. The M1 SE arrived. The Weiss will be back from a customers home next week. My plan is to get started with one review by Sunday night. I have a house guest until then.few notes:if you want a DAC included, I wi... | |
| What is wrong with my system? Coiled vs uncoiled speaker matters depending on whether the cable is shielded. Unshielded cable can’t be coiled. Shielded cable can. This is easily testable and is not subtle with ribbon type cable and kills bass. Traditional wire will sound s... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend I have a LOT of money tied up in DACs at the moment. Adding more would be…unappealing if I have to buy them. That being said, if someone want to send a DAC for inclusion, I will be happy too. PM Me. I would love to add in a Holo May, Denafrips... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend one note - I am using FPGA in the marketing sense. That is, DACs that are not using a traditional DAC Chip (ESS, Burr Brown, Etc…) or an R2R but are exclusively using FPGA chips and therefore are firmware based. This is generally how Chord, Audi... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend So…Rockna is R2R, Bricasti, AVM and Weiss are Delta Sigma while Chord and Audiobyte are FPGA. A good representation of all three technologies. I am only streaming via Tidal through a Roon Nucleus+ to a Chord 2Go/2Yu combo. I haven’t listened to... | |
| Speakers for triode tube amps I have a customer who is running Tekton's. They can be driven and sound good with a 20w SET. His space was a bit too big though. They are not as efficient as you might think so I would not plan on sitting more than 8-10 feet from them and hopef... | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning Agreed. I just became a dealer and am very pleased with the performance I am getting from my samples. Customers have raves about it. | |
| What is wrong with my system? The challenge is that this are bright speakers with components that are not warm enough to offset the bright speakers. There is nothing inherently bad about a bright speaker. It just needs the right equipment to balance it out. Many elite speake... | |
| Recommendation for Dac for streamer Based on your description, I would be inclined to think the following three DACs would be brilliant for you:Rockna Wavelight - This is an R2R DAC with an FPGA interface. It delivers a massive and very engaging soundstage with a slight emphasis on... | |
| drivers for my diy Parts Express and Madisound are wonderful places to buy from but the selection is...robust with hundreds of drivers to choose from. Call up the guys at Madisound and discuss the project with them and get their POV. Assuming this is a wood cabine... | |
| Has anyone ever used a company called vacuum tube values to purchase vacuum tubes? I just looked up cost on this which is always a wonderful reminder of how dreadful margins are on tubes. I am not going to tell you my cost but will say that $1400 or below would suggest to me these are not new or there is something off. $1600 i... |
