| Shrill high frequencies Maybe the Isotek needs more break-in time. BTW - I use a MD 108T + KEF LS50 and those 2 are definitely not bright. My Accuphase T-101 tuner is much brighter than the MD 108T | |

| Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade? I decided to upgrade my 2012 LS50 with a new LS50 META. I recently found my LS50 lacking after I got my RAAL VM-1a headphone amp paired with the SR1a headphones. The descriptions of the Meta sound was what made me make the switch. My SR1 has more ... | |
| Looking for a preamp with XLR connections Someone I know compared the Weiss 501 to the DAC3B and they preferred the Weiss also. I use the DAC3B with a tube headphone amp and it works better than my 'best' DAC with those tubes. So the DAC3B, while not my best overall DAC, works like a cha... | |
| Looking for a preamp with XLR connections @peter_s That is true and sometimes I like that boring base system and only want to hear the source material through that base. The following is the design goal of the Benchmark products. They say this explicit on their web site's APPLICATION NOTE... | |
| bookshelf speakers that sound good on an enclosed bookshelf I was recently looked at the manual for my KEF LS50's (the one from 2012) and it stated that if placing the speaker in a bookshelf use both foam plugs. I never tried that, but KEF seems to think it is doable. The used versions of the newer LS50 M... | |
| A Note For LS50 Owners @jetter thanks for the info. I am not going to sell the LS50, I will give it to my nephew in Canada. He is starting university after this final year. I am looking to pair it with the Cambridge Audio Evo 150. A very good starter system for him. | |
| Topping Pre90 Switching op amps? If you want the sound of the pre90 without the hassle, then the Benchmark LA4 is the best bet. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Last month I posted about lending a friend of mine the Musetec 005 to hear with his RAAL VM-1a headphone amp. Yesterday I picked up the DAC. The VM-1a is a tube headphone amp for both the RAAL-Requisite CA-1a and SR1a headphones. I also have all ... | |
| Topping Pre90 Switching op amps? I tried about 6 amps on the Topping pre90. There was a volume issue with the following amps and the pre90. It was way too loud and did not have any granularity on the volume settings. - LSA Voyager 350 GAN - CODA #8 - KRELL K-300i integrated -... | |
| A Note For LS50 Owners Anyone replaced the driver on a LS50 from 2012. I have a tear on the outer membrane of the driver. If it is possible to replace the driver, what is the degree of difficulty? The speaker still sounds good, though it must be sub-optimal now with the... | |
| Wendell Diller: "You don't wanna put a subwoofer with a Magneplanar; it doesn't work." Problem is that I have to look at the keys when I type. | |

Raidho XT-1 Speakers with Raidho Stands For Sale - US Audio Mart BTW - I received the KEF KWI Wireless Subwoofer Adapter yesterday and I tried it today to see that it does not work. I have a faulty unit and need to get a replacement. If this wire... | |
| Subwoofer for Raidho XT-1 sadly buried in a console built in? @mijostyn What are your thoughts on the Quad Z2 ribbon bookshelf. These looks like it can be placed on a bookshelf too, though I would use stands. |
