| Pure analog system with high power By the way, Bryston plus Magnepan is a marriage made in heaven. My personal experience.I was using a Bryston 4b with Magnepan Tympanis ~40 years ago! | |
| New and engaging rap and hip hop artists @simao Miller has played with a long list of stars, but I’m not sure about Sting.As for Cassandra Wilson, obviously she has been around for quite a while, but is very eclectic, and some of her work crosses over for sure.Since we don’t have another... | |
| New and engaging rap and hip hop artists Yes @ggoggin – agreed! And I enjoy them as well.@simao That's the combination that appeals to me most naturally. I grew up on soul and funk, and still gravitate in those directions.Along those lines, while I don't want to stray too far from the su... | |
| New and engaging rap and hip hop artists Yes – super talented. I've been listening to this live concert recently:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15Nqbic6HZs | |
| New and engaging rap and hip hop artists Although he wasn’t a rap artist per se, the late, excellent guitarist Ronny Jordan incorporated rap into some of his music. Check out his album The Antidote. | |
| 3 Ingredients to a Healthy Audio Community Claims of "virtue signaling", like "conspiracy theory", are frequently used in disingenuous attempts to avoid arguing the substance of the matter. | |
| 3 Ingredients to a Healthy Audio Community FWIW, you can watch the responses to this post to see who takes it seriously, who rebukes it, and who makes fun of it. That’s a big clue as to who to be on guard against and/or who to ignore or take with a grain of salt (or shot of vodka).Precisely. | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD Sorry! No, I have used both through my relatively new Denafrips Pontus II DAC. So in that sense, the comparison is fair, as I was bypassing the Hegel DAC.This is my first stand-alone DAC, and it has spurred the temptation to upgrade other componen... | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD the hegel h160 while a ’last gen’ piece at this point, would, imo, set a very high bar to beat in driving harbeths (it is last gen primarily in the dac section only, the amp section is still absolutely top notch)Thanks for that, and I do agree tha... | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD @jjss49 I will. It replaced a Hegel h160, which, while not of the current generation of Hegel amps, was really quite good. Darko was using a newer, more powerful Hegel.Having only had the GATO for ~24 hours, I can safely say that to my ear it is b... | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD Very early days, but I am getting excellent results with the combination of my 30.1 and newly acquired GATO AMP-150. | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD @jjss49 That is a bit unfair. Shaw has talked about why he likes Hegel:My position on Hegel is abundantly clear. It is the only hifi amp I have ever measured in my lab that has what I consider to be a proper gain structure throughout. In layman's ... | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD I’ve been powering my 30.1 with a Hegel h160, and it works well. Many other Harbeth users are also reportedly happy with Hegel amps.Having said that, though, as I am now using a (Denafrips) stand-alone DAC, I’ve decided to switch/upgrade to a GATO... | |
| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? I don't think that the Soekris feature XLR outputs. May not matter to some, but it will to others. | |
| As promised my thoughts on my newly installed Townsend Podium isolation system. Podiums. |
