| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? I am considering a $35K amp for my Livingroom system. The cost of that amp is way higher than I normally spend but I have reasons that made me chose that over a $6750 used amp in the same lineup. I also considered the phenomenal CODA #16 at $13K, ... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? @jumia A good DSP arrangement solves a lot of room problems and equipment problems and is underrated and not fully appreciated. Probably because the interfaces and the product are so difficult to work with. It's a real pain in the ass to deal ... | |
| Say She She Just listened to the whole album. Found it underwhelming. A shame they did not put the 4 or 5 singles they released earlier this year on the album. While listening to Say She She, I discovered through ROON Radio a cool funk album canned Ultra/Sou... | |
| Bryston 7Bcubed vs Mark Levinson @ddafoe I was only talking about the ST series that the OP owns. I have heard the 4B3 and it is much different on top. There are some folks who still like the older ST and SST line for bass. I have not compared too much to have an opinion, but I w... | |
| Say She She Listening to the live performance on KCRW radio today. The album is released today or tomorrow. I have goosebumps listening to these ladies. Sort of like Chic meets the Bee Gees. Say She She serves up a discodelic trip through space-time, live fr... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @jaymark the #16 is not big at all. I was really surprised at how small it actually is. It is bigger than the #8 but given the specs of the #16 I thought it would be much bigger. | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week My Coda #8 meters mostly moved when I used it as a headphone amp for my RAAL SR1a headphones. When I used the #8 with the Thiel CS3.7 speakers I really had to crank it up to make the meter move. If I were to get another CODA it would be the #16 w... | |
| Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer? I have 2 of the same DACs for my 2 systems. It is the Musetec 005 DAC. I am in the process of building out my second system and my dealer is strongly suggesting I get the Bricasti M12 preamp/DAC at $16K. I am considering it as a final system purch... | |
| Bryston 7Bcubed vs Mark Levinson The Bryston ST lineup is a little hard and can be fatiguing, though with a tube preamp you should be good. I have owned the 3B-ST, 4B-ST, PowerPac 300, and 7B-SST, The following upgrade program is something to consider even if the 7B-ST is a bac... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? For me, it is really a matter of sonic preference and not so much on price. The Mola Mola Kaluga is a no no for my ears. The D'Ag is also a no go for me. I heard that gear with Dan demoing it with $250K Wilson gear, no thanks. Magico for the most ... | |
| Depeche Mode to release new album 'Memento Mori' in 2023 It is being recorded in Santa Barbara, CA. | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? I have had about 10 amps in the last 2 years and they all sounded different at volume levels no where close to clipping. I sold my KRELL amp yesterday and only have Benchmark AHB2 monos left. Both of those 2 amps are very different sonically. I us... | |
| tube tuner or solid stat tuner My tube tuner, a Magnum Dynalab 108T is a bit warmer sounding than my best SS tuner, a Accuphse T-101. Both sound excellent but the tube one was about 6x more expensive. In hindsight, even though the MD 108T sounds incredible, I could live withou... | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week @jaymark I believe current is more important than watts. The CODA #16 being prime example. | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week @jaymark We had the same modded Voyager amp. I sold mine sometime back because I decided to keep the CODA #8 over the Voyager. Not saying the CODA #8 was better than the Voyager. Just that I had another amp that I thought was similar to the modded... |
