| ATC SCM40 ATC tends to suck power like there is no tomorrow. I used Nilai class D to power my ATC, and it sounds pretty good. Class A or tube is suboptimal for these speakers. These amps are just not having enough damping factor. | |
| Shifting center image and recommendations on an approach @hazeloop I used to have shifting center image with my stereo as well. Turn out, the culprit was my Chord Qutest DAC. Once I upgraded my DAC to a more expensive R2R DAC, the center image became more solid and was no longer shifting to the right. ... | |
| Thiel CS3.7 repair @yyzsantabarbara I am just about 2hours away from CSS location in KY. Having said that, the CS3.7 is a very old speaker, and the owner is selling me for $6,999 a pair. I do not think it is a very atrractive price. Right now, I am still on the fenc... | |
| Thiel CS3.7 repair @drrsutliff Thanks for that information. I know that there is an on-going thread of Thiel owners, but I want to start another discussion just only for maintenance purposes. I will contact CSS people to see if they are still servicing the CS3.7 ... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Too much hype has been created around this amp haha. I have known several people who are selling it for cheap after buying into the hype. | |
| Recapping Mark Levinson 33H monoblocks The cost of recapping for my ML27.5 is $2500. After finding out, I quickly sold that amp. | |
| Apple Music vs Tidal for SQ Tidal MQA is a real deal. It sounds better than normal FLAC to me. So, I don't know what every body here is smoking about? I have both Qobuz and Tidal, and to me they are very close in sound quality. | |
| 12 Year DCS Scarlatti DAC Plus Clock vs Denafrips Terminator Plus You need to listen to both. At that price, it is too risky to buy blind. | |
| Purist Audio Design 300B tube amp SET is better than push pull design especially for 300B. Looks for Dannis's dragon inspired. | |
| Different R2R DACs Sorry, but you got the wrong end of R2R DAC, The terminator is much better than the May, based on your taste. The May DAC is more diffused, and the Terminator is more incisive. Even amongst R2R DAC, there will be some SQ differences. | |
| Anyone who owns a Technics SU-R1000, can you answer a quick question Did you turn on subsonic filter button? | |
| Has anyone truly compared Vintage vs. Modern? @mtbiker29 Your question makes no sense... There are different kind of vintage amp and different kind of modern amp. You must specify which model and what period! | |
| ARC REF 3 vs Modwright 36.5 DM @gareents Just curious, did you play around with the BAL/SE setting of your ARC REF3? From my experience, the SE setting will give you a fuller sound while the BAL settings will give you more emphasized treble. You can play with both and see what ... | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? @condosound I have tried both passive preamps and tube preamps. Passive preamp is not the most transparent device, and tube pramp is not the most liquid either. They all depend on the price and the manufacturer. Even within the same manufacture, p... | |
| Any update on Mark Levinson 5000 reliability? Mark Levinson amps sound mostly very good, but it is very hard and expensive to recap or service (and you have to do full recap for your amp every 20-30 regardless of brand). I used to own ML 23.5 and ML 333. The cost of servicing for those amps a... |
