| 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 ... | |
| Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood? Congrats on your choice of the Treo CTs. I was going to say, if you have heard or owned a speaker with a certain ’sound character’ that you like or know that you will miss if you don’t have it, that goes a long way in a future decision. The old s... | |
| Focal v Wilson I’m not a Dali or Borrenson dealer like audiotroy, so I have no financial interest in my comment. And since you asked about Focal and Wilson, I own and prefer the Wilson sound. W/P 7 is great. BTW, the earlier Wilsons with the inverted tweeter sou... | |
| Tidal Amea Speakers I don't own Tidal/Vimburg speakers. But I do know that Tidal used to use Argento cabling in all of the systems they showed/displayed their speakers. Argento is not well known here in the states. I have purchased a Flow Master power cord copy and... | |
| Back to the DAC @klh007 - I was actually mostly just tongue-in-cheek on the comment about cords and fuses. Especially after all of the analysis and shopping for the actual DAC purchase. Kind of "you just THOUGHT you were done..." :) Although they both can make s... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 Look at the hybrid Musical Fidelity NuVista 600 or ideally 800. |
