| 6000 dollars CD player A little under budget but a strong value in terms of the quality of the DAC, check out the Canor CD 2.10. Awesome DAC in it and a good transport. | |
| Best DAC For My Setup Under $10k A few interesting options - You could step up in the Chord Range. The Dave is still an elite DAC and if you paired it with something like an Antipodes S30 streamer, that would be a pretty awesome combination. Not all-in-one but a killer combo. ... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options I am an importer for a company that produces wonderful SETs and my speakers that I make use Eton drivers. In your price range, your best option for a power amp will be the Rogue Hydra but you will need to roll in different tubes. I would suggest ... | |
| Is room size considered when they design speakers? in fairness, this is not universal. Scansonic literally offers guidance to us and to consumers on what type of room to use each speaker in and as you rise in their line, the recommended room size increases. I am sure there are others, but this o... | |
| Recommended speaker pairing for ML 585.5. There are a million speakers. You want to probably look for a speaker with a slightly forward sound profile as ML is a touch warm. The Spendor D9.2 is a neutral to warm speaker. With ML, the sound profile will be decidedly warm. I have not hea... | |
| Who has switched from a PS Audio BHK Preamp to something else? I moved from the BHK to an Art Audio Conductor when I signed on to be the importer for Art Audio. I am deciding on a new preamp now as I sold the Conductor (sample was 18 months old) and am choosing between the following and expect to get two of t... | |
| Amps to match kef blade2 For a true one box solution, the AVM CS 8.3 is incredible. It has a tube input stage, the software had been radically improved from the old x.2 software and sound really is phenomenal.I have a customer who is using their flagship monos with Kef R... | |
| Audio research ref 6SE vs world Makes perfect sense. It’s funny. When I think of VAC, I was thinking of higher priced units. I have a customer who has the VAC Master preamp and it is insanely good but is much more at $28K. He was joking that he was going to have his coffin f... | |
| Audio research ref 6SE vs world I find ARC sounds a but more SS than I like from a tube preamp. I don't want something warm a gooey. I prefer a middle ground. That is my personal taste. If I was going to get something that sounded like an ARC, I would probably get a new Pass... | |
| You Tube sound comparisons I am in the process of recording a bunch of these videos now comparing speakers and amplifiers. After some testing I have learned that the most important thing in being able to differentiate between speakers and some of the more subtle things in ... | |
| Musical fidelity M6SI problem. Ugh...they had a delivery that came in and went out only covering a fraction of backorders. I was told 16-18 weeks recently before they will be getting next shipment of M6sis. I gave full refunds back to two customers because I am not going to ev... | |
| Integrated Amp Question for a Newbie to the Forum So...neutral vs forward/bright vs laid back/warm is really a matter of personal preference. If you had a McIntosh tube amp paired with the MA Silvers, yes, the current sound profile would be a touch warm. Warm is going to be very easy to listen ... | |
| Integrated Amp Question for a Newbie to the Forum Bowers and Wilkins makes a wonderful speaker though I have never been a fan of the 600 series. I find the highs a little grainy. What is certain is that speaker is MUCH more forward than what you have. I don't know the exact model mentioned, bu... | |
| Integrated Amp Question for a Newbie to the Forum I know those speakers and they are not the be-all end-all in terms of resolution. I was surprised at how forgiving they were. I did a side by side compare of those exact speakers, PSB (forget the model), Revel Performa3 F206 and Wharfeldale Jades.... | |
| Spendor S8 E or Canton Ergo RC-L for tubes? I don't know those exact models but my experience is Spendor is on the warmer side while canton is a bit more forward. Both are great speakers and it really depends on the exact sound profile you are shooting for. It would also depend on the amp... |
