| Ayre QB-9...listening impressions Gents,It is evidently mutual love for this DAC. It is even easier to love the DAC when I acquired if for $550 delivered from a guy who "is going back to analogue" with a modest Rega table. And I just sold my SOTA Sapphire vacuum TT and Dynavect... | |
| Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S Speakers - A Review Way too small for the M1T as Clayton informed me that my room was too small for the M3T and my room is much larger that yours. | |
| New Technics SL1200G turntable Thanks for all the feedback. Whitestix | |
| Allow myself to introduce...myself Hi,Welcome. Cold Duck Time is one of my all-time favorite jazz recordings by Eddie Harris. You have a nice audio rig, for sure. I just parted with my SOTA TT after 32 years to an analogue lover. My best modestly-price suggestion is to upgrade... | |
| Upgraded to Tidal today Gdnrbob,My sense is that Tidal's jazz library is not as extensive as Spotify. The difference in SQ between the two is profound. | |
| Upgraded to Tidal today Kalili,I do have the HiFI subscription and stream it through my iMac. I downloaded JR River, don't understand how to use it with Tidal. Just downloaded Tidal's Music Center. | |
| Your Favorite High Quality Audio Bulk Cable Manufacturer? 1X,Dueland wire is made by Dueland, who also makes the finest capacitors on earth. It is sold in North America through Parts Connexion. Supra wire, also very good wire, is sold through Madisound. Both cables small in diameter and very flexible.... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range Sorry for the double post... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range My serious recommendation would be the Spatial Audo X2 open baffle speakers for $9600. I have their smaller M4 Triode Master speaker and love them. The X2's are super efficient and go pretty much flat down to 20Hz. | |

| Your Favorite High Quality Audio Bulk Cable Manufacturer? I absolutely second grannyring's recommendation with the Dueland cable. Pick your terminations. Fabulous wire for both IC's and for speaker cables. The sound of the wire is so clean, clear, and extended that it surprises me that more folks lik... | |
| Amp away for 20 year upgrade...back-up amp to the rescue Yes, I will do just that. My DIY friend in San Francisco is a brilliant engineer with a lust for audio improvements that can be done very economically. There is a problem, he tells me, with the delicacy of the boards in the 5XXX amps so mods can... | |
| Amp away for 20 year upgrade...back-up amp to the rescue hifiman,Right on, my friend. My pal has been a significant participant in the DIY forum on Adcom upgrades and claims the properly modded 5400 is a truly refined amplifier at a small cost.I tell ya, when I got my DNA .05 a couple of years ago, mer... | |
| Amp away for 20 year upgrade...back-up amp to the rescue Great post. I have a DNA .05 Deluxe and it is a killer amp in stock form and have thought about the current upgrades. I can imagine how fine it would sound with upgrades. SMC is top notch. I picked up an Adcom GFA 5400 recently and I really tho... | |
| Analogue-free system Uberwalz,Well said, no doubt. Here is an extraordinary benefit of a $10/mo subscription of Spotify or double that for Tidal for a better stream. I pretty much only listen to jazz myself. I get Downbeat and they identified their top recordings of... |
