| Krell k-300i vs Rega Osiris, integrated @rfprice The 125XD was what I was thinking of getting at first because it was cheaper. However, I was able to do a trade-in for the 175XD. If I was able at the time, I would have bought the used 300XD that I linked to. The number in front of the... | |
| Krell k-300i vs Rega Osiris, integrated @rfprice I bought the 175XD to use with my RAAL SR1a headphones. The K-300i was so good with these headphones. I had an extra XLR output on my CODA 07x preamp that I wanted to get a stereo amp for my SR1a. I tried a lot of amps with the CODA and t... | |
| Krell k-300i vs Rega Osiris, integrated The KRELL K-300i, if it has the internal DAC is great for TV and Bluray via HDMI. The DAC itself is just OK for music but I loved the HDMI on those 2 sources. The video is supposed to get some benefit to on the ARC return. I do not know enough to ... | |
| Balanced versus single ended My Livingroom Benchmark gear is AES48 compliant. I very happy running relatively low cost Benchmark XLR interconnect between preamp and amp (both Benchmark). I have tried more expensive XLR's. On my sources that are from varies manufacturers I fou... | |
| Advance Warning: RAAL VM-1a + SR1a @erik_squires I believe you are in Los Angeles. If so, do a short drive up the 101 to Ventura and have Danny give you a demo with exactly what I have now at home. I am going through my classic albums on this system and everything is at another ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton Well my vocabulary is limited so let's go with your description. So you hear it too. I never really heard that before. So I did a quick shootout between my Musetec 005 and the DAC3B on my new vm-1a tube headphone amp and the DAC3B sta... | |
| Advance Warning: RAAL VM-1a + SR1a Prior to the Vm-1a the very best I have heard the SR1a was as follows: SR1a | CODA 07x preamp | KRELL Duo 175XD | Musetec 005 DAC | Fiber streaming with Sonore OpticalRendu = $25K+ (approx) I would say that is 75/100 and the combo listed above i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC It was just a stream from ROON. WingSpan FLAC Tidal 44.1 kHz 16 bit. So nothing special. The best thing I can say about the RAAL SR1a is that they are nothing like headphones. There is a new model coming out that are like headphones for people wh... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton Now that I know a bit of echo is there in the song I listened to it with an identical setup but this time on my Thiel CS3.7 speakers. I can also hear it there, though a little less pronounced. This afternoon I picked up a headphone am... | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? Look at USAudiomart for a KRELL K-300i integrated. The ad may not be up yet but it one will show up. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Can someone listen to Paul McCartney’s Band on the Run and tell me if they can hear the echo. I have heard this song many times but I never heard an echo with Paul’s vocal until today. Using the 005 into my RAAL SR1a headphones. Just amazing sound... | |
| Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. @tjag The Freya+ is very good for the price as is the CODA 07x. My issue with the 07x is that it is not dead silent, like my LA4. The Freya+ if I remember correctly is almost silent, though not as detailed as the 07x. The Freya+ is definitely a tu... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @david_ten Lux Prima is such a great album. The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs have a new album coming out in Sept. I have become a huge Karen O fan. | |
| New In 2022 @bdp24 I liked the Goovies album you mentioned quite a bit. Reminded me a bit of SLOAN from Canada. A group I liked as a teenager and still play. | |
| Need some suggestions for a desktop amp. That Matrix mini-i Pro 3 recommended above was a great choice. I gave mine to my buddy and should not have since he is not even using it. It would be perfect in my 2nd office where I have only a headphone amp and no desk space. |
