| New Amp Choice (A or B) @tweak1 I have never tried the springs. | |

| New Amp Choice (A or B) The stock Voyager sounds stronger on bass on my 2 Ohms speakers than the AHB2. However, on the 3 Ohms speakers in a small room the extra power of the Voyager may not stand out. The AHB2 was preferred by me over the stock Voyager for detail and cla... | |
| DAC? how much more $$$ to get a significant improvement over Bluesound Node? 1) Musetec 005 (incredible DAC) $2969 on sale $3300 MSRP 2) Benchmark DAC3B $1700 a bit less bass and more treble than the Musetec so not as good, but I still love this DAC 3) Gustard X26 Pro $1250 on sale or $1500. Warmer and less detailed than... | |
| KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable The Blades go down to 3 Ohms if I remember the Stereophile review correctly. Most SS amps are rated at 4-Ohms and 8-Ohms continuous power. Here are some amps I would consider for the Blades that are not outrageously expensive. The KRELL and CODA c... | |
| Advice on new headphone system please @paulg1966 Where are you located? There is an audio show in Los Angeles that will have headphones in January. There is also CanJam in NYC in January or Feb. CanJam is all about headphones. Just saw your comments about your injuries. Sorry to h... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I am spending some time today figuring out which of my interconnects are damaged from my rearrangement of gear last night. So far 1 XLR (this brand is a PIA). Since I have everything out, I can do a test of DAC direct to the CODA #8 amp. I am stre... | |
| KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable It is not a lack of resolution, but at the level of the top end speakers I have heard the Blades did not have the most resolution. However, I consider them the best speakers I have heard by a lot. That is measured by the amount of fun I have liste... | |
| Advice on new headphone system please !) I got fatigue from the Bryston BHA1. I sold it and got the Benchmark HPA4. I used the Meze Empy with both. This is a warm and relaxing headphone. The hardness on the BHA1 that gave me fatigue was not there with the HPA4. Though the HPA4 is not ... | |
| KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable @4afsanakhan Great writeup on your demo. I also agree that the Blade does not have the utmost in resolution as compared to Be drivers. However, that soundstage on the Blade is what kills me. That makes the sound seem so real life. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Here is the web URL that explains Shenzheaudio's return policy. Seems pretty clear here. Guarantees & Return Policy – SHENZHENAUDIO Here is the return policy for Apos Auidio the USA based seller of this DAC. Apos Audio 45-day return policy ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Here is another breathless comment on the 005. I want to get a second one for my downstairs system. The Benchmark DAC3B on my bedroom system will survive the purge of DACs after getting the 005. So, I hope to have two 005's and 1 DAC3B (for 3 sys... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC My issue was with the Gustard X26 Pro DAC which was having some occasional popping sound when run direct to amp. Now I always use a preamp which eliminated the problem, but I wanted this issue fixed in the event I sold the DAC. I think I contacted... | |
| New Amp Choice (A or B) Do your speakers go into 2 Ohms territory a lot? If not, then a single AHB2 would work incredible with the HPA4. You could always add a second AHB2 to run as monos. I do that but my current speakers, KEF LS50, they do not require monos (overkill).... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Ric Shultz of VD fame is not the Ric Shultz of EVS fame. I spoke with EVS Ric, and he was the one who suggested the Musetec lineup of DACs to me. I then checked out this thread on A’gon and became a happy owner of the 005. |
