| opticalRendu network streamer – a review I have 3 of these because they are great and so robust. I am a computer guy and am comfortable dealing with computer issues but with the Rendu’s I cannot say I ever needed to do use my computer brain for diagnostics. At worst just restart the unit... | |
| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market If you have a smaller sized room, check out the KEF LS50 Meta + KEF KC62 sub. I bought the LS50 Meta as a backup speaker after my old LS50 got damaged. The plan was to buy the $10K USD Yamaha NS3000 monitor from Canada. It is very much like the NS... | |
| Has the ASR review/hatchet job on the Musetec MH-DA005 Changed Anyone's Mind? The volume control of the LA4 is maybe the best I have heard. It does click so that is a no go for many but I look at it as a feature and not a bug. The quietness of the LA4 is what separates the LA4 from the 07x. The Benchmark DAC3 HSC (a preamp ... | |
| Has the ASR review/hatchet job on the Musetec MH-DA005 Changed Anyone's Mind? I have 2 of the Musetec 005 units. Though 1 is back in storage waiting another day and another system. The 005 is a smooth DAC and that is one attribute (of many) that draws people to it and sometimes people away from it. I love the 005 with my B... | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. Moving Pictures - Rush | |
| Alan Parsons - From The New World Found out recently that the dude lives up the hill in an avocado farm a few miles from my home. Will give his new one a listen. | |
| Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.? My wife’s Polish 21-year-old niece was visiting, and we went to get some burgers at a restaurant. I asked her what she wanted to drink, and she said VODKA! I know that her hometown in Poland has some great vodkas (especially straight from the fre... | |
| Room size definition The KEF LS50 is too small for that room. I have a room that is 15 x 20 x 25 and it opens up to a family room. The LS50 with the KC62 sub sounded tiny in there. However, the same system in my 12x11x9 room is incredible. A KEF Blade 2 would be incr... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now @thyname I got a few headphone amps and kept 2. Matrix Mini Pro 3 - this one is almost like a portable DAC/amp. At least it is easy to move to various room in the house or backyard. It also sounds pretty good, as do most $1000 DACs. That reminds ... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now @curiousjim They have had them for about 3 years now and refer to them as DDC. DDC | Denafrips At least I believe they function as streamers. | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll @clearthinker Have you heard the new KRELL XD 'Class A' amps? | |
| Bigger rooms better for sound? I have a 25+ foot ceiling in my Livingroom and even with a speaker relatively close to the front wall, but very far from the side walls the sound is pleasantly great. The room is 15 x 20 x 25+ and it opens up to a family room. A lot of volume. I... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta The LS50 Meta + KC62 sub in a small room, 12x11x9, is incredible. That same system in a much bigger room was nowhere close to what I am hearing in the smaller room. The bigger room was 15 x 20 x 25 and opened up to another room. | |
| Why would the digital optical output from my CD player be louder than that of my streamer? Can you connect the Bluesnode to your DAC via Toslink to compare? Maybe the Toslink inout on your DAC is louder than the USB. I am assuming that USB is how the Bluenode is connected. | |
| Amps for KEF Blade 2 I was considering using 2 amps for the Blade that I am getting. I already had a KRELL Duo 175XD and I could get a Dou 300XD for $6-7K used. However, after some research on this I came to the conclusion that a single amp is better than 2 amps, unle... |
