| What exactly is critical listening? Who does it? It is at first impression a matter of semantics. Critical can obviously mean at least two things - one connotes negativity - ie a person being critical points out negative facts, [their] observations, or perceptions from a real or supposed (usuall... | |
| Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers Interesting that suggestions range in price from about $2K class D to $48K (Vinnie Rossi). Big gap there. I haven’t heard current class D; would second the suggestion for Mark Levinson. Maybe try Pass or Hegel or Musical Fidelity too, especial... | |
| Which amp with Wilson watt puppy 8 Since you have the Musical Fidelity M6, I would look at the Musical Fidelity integrateds. I have the Wilson 5.1s and love the tube/solid state hybrid MF sound with them. BUT, I also use mid-upper level MIT speaker cables, which go very well with ... | |
| What does your DAC sound like Don't think you can beat this one near the current sales price of $3,315. https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/l-k-s-mh-da006-dual-es9038pro-digital-to-analog-convertor-dac | |
| Best amplification for Magico S3 newer version on your experience A bit of a change of perspective/focus from a senior citizen. 1. Try some MIT Matrix 60 or Oracle level speaker cables between your existing amp(s) and the Magicos, which need a little something different to keep from sounding sterile. $2K-4K. I... | |
| Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? Might get some hate, but I would like to hear the Chinese clone DarTZeels. | |
| Is the Rockport Avior II an Endgame Speaker? These won't be as good, but neither will they be as expensive. https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/3-way-speaker-kits/satori-sasandu-textreme-3-way-speaker-kit-pair/ | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @rrboogie Hello and Happy Holidays! I'm not sure 'my offer' was on the mention of the Tek-Line Ag cord(?). Perhaps to lend one to other DA-005 owners for a few weeks? I can do that. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship I haven’t heard it, but someone on another forum mentioned that the Gustard X30 ran very warm, maybe even hot. Sounded like Gustard had to run the new ES9039 Pro DACs pretty hard to get the desired performance in this particular application. A bit... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship Thanks much DBB. Looking forward to your impressions after burn in. | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? Absolutely get the best digital cable you can. I would pick a budget range - say $200 - $400 - and you will be amazed. Most people agree your digital source (especially the DAC) is the most important component you have, and transmitting the inform... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Quick tip: a guy over on USAM ha(d) 4 ’vintage’ Tek Line AG 10 cords. Talk about serendipity/timing. These things are probably 20 years old (same time frame as some of my Bob Crump TG Audio cords if memory serves). He is asking $60 each. I picked... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Count me in as another very happy 005 owner who will seriously look at the 006.. Please keep us posted with your thoughts, impressions, and additional information. Speaking of... I would like to pass on a bit of information from my experience. I... | |
| Wilson Sabrina X ... oh my God! and Jadis... or? I realize this is the amps/preamps thread. But you should confirm with the dealer what source (digital/dac) he was using. And the cabling as well - power cords, interconnects, speaker cable, which add to system strengths and provide offset to weak... | |
| Streamer - New Gustard X30 @ucrazykid - it is out, just nothing much in the US market. For what [little] it’s worth, there is some measurement analysis and discussion on ASR. I think it will likely be discounted to ~$2,500 for ’mid-year’ sales in a day or two. I already ... |
