| My Medium List of Amplifiers and my Personal Review of Each ! Are these all amps that you have owned? It will be interesting to see how far you take this thread. As everyone knows there is another high-end thread that has over 20k posts. The only problem is that 90% of the people can not afford the equipm... | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! @kennyc - I agree with your sentiment. I attended the launch of the new Lampizator Horizon DAC in LA in February and reported the results. The purpose was just to provide information regarding the DAC and my impressions of it. The discussion w... | |

| Best Dedicated Streamer I know you said you did not need a DAC but at your budget, the Lumin X-1 is a tremendous DAC/Stremer and very easy to use. It is not built in the USA but I have had 4 of them. If you want an end-game music server, please look up Lucas Audio, ... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner Hello Op You have a great start to your system but you will find over time you will continue to chase the elusive dream of perfect sound for the rest of your life. Yes, a good Power Conditioner will help. I have an Inakustic 3500P. Yes, a goo... | |
| Canary Audio Preamps Any Good? I have the Canary Grand Reference 300B Mono amps with 16 Western Electric 300B tubes. The sound is glorious. It may be overkill in my case as I have 98db speakers. I could part with them for something smaller. | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @debit I have the 3500P and am very happy with it. I just asked about the 4500 and they are back ordered to January 2023. I was told the 3500 can more than hold its own. I had the Inakustic 2404 reference power cords going into a SR orange dupl... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @lalitk Oops, I misspoke. I actually have the Kiwami RCA cables. After reading 5 pages of Takami power cords I just typed wrong and I am functionally blind so it is hard to read what I type. That said, the Kiwami is a super RCA cable. I am go... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread I have now read this whole thread and I am intrigued by the power cord. I recently purchased the Hiijiri Takumi RCA cable after doing an extensive A-B-C comparison with Inakustic, Hiijiri, and the Tchernov. What a shootout it was. I also noti... | |
| Canary Audio Preamps Any Good? I had a C1800 Pre and it was very good. | |
| Where do you want your system to go when you go? I laughed when I read your heading but it does have merit. My kids do not enjoy music the way I do and my equipment would not fit into their houses. When I sold my last house the people demanded my two-channel system as part of the deal. At fir... | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? Very nicely put Don! | |
| Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music Definitely horn speakers. Check out Charney Audio website. Great sound and nice design. Live music with my Viking Acoustic Grande Voix dual horn speakers is mesmerizing. Unfortunately, they are way above your budget. | |
| For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system. @charles1dad ---good comment regarding the sound of my Viking Acoustic speakers and Canary Audio Grand Reference 300B Mono amps. Aren't we all guilty of wondering if there is something better out there? Are we ever totally satisfied with our sys... | |
