| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Another, sort of affordable gear combo is the following: Schitt Freya+ preamp (now sold) Musetec 005 Benchmark AHB2 amp I was amazed at how good this combo was on both my SR1a headphones and KEF LS50 speakers. When I replaced the 005 with the ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui I bough the DAC3 HGC 2 times and the DAC3B 2 times. I think each time was to raise funds for something else. Anyways, I am not selling the DAC3B I have left. My feeling is that the HPA4 or LA4 would be incredible with the 005. I have not ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I prefer the 005 over the DAC3B in almost all cases. However, if I had very warm speaker and other warm electronics then I could see myself going with the DAC3 over the 005. I recently demoed a RAAL VM-1a tube headphone amp with the RAAL SR1a hea... | |
| Need some help- Speaker choice for Schiit Aegir+ Freya+ The KEF LS50 META is something to consider for your room. I used an older LS50 (not META) with a Freya+ and Benchmark AHB2 and it was really good. I also added a KEF KC62 sub ($1500) and it works so nicely with the Freya+. In your room that combo ... | |
| new headphones recommendation? grado gs3000e or… Raal Ribbon Headphones - SRH1A | Page 327 | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org Something to consider at the 2-4K price range. A lot of comparisons with all the TOTL headphones. I use a 2-channel amp to drive them and sometimes a $400... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The very best implementation of the ESS DAC chips that I had heard prior to the Musetec 005 was the RESONESSENCE LABS INVICTA MIRUS DAC - Headphone Guru The owners of that company demoed the DAC at a show with purposefully crappy speakers. I wa... | |
| Thiel Owners I tried and almost loved the AHB2 with my Thiel CS3,7’s. I tried a single AHB2 in stereo and also 2 in mono. My room is small so I thought the lack of power at 2 Ohm region with the AHB2 would be OK. On most music the sound is incredible. However,... | |
| Kef LS50 I used the Peachtree Nova 150 with a LS50 for about 3 years. If your room is small, then getting it acoustically treated will give you the biggest bang for the buck. I used GIK Accoustics for that ($700). With some experimentation with the NOVA 1... | |
| Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else? I owned the A23 for a long time (used with KEF LS50’s) and it did the job, but I was not crazy about the sound. I recently bought a mint used A21+ and was happy with the results. I preferred the A21+ over the A23 by a huge amount. I used the A21+... | |
| Amplifier for desktop near field system The Harbeth would sound great with a Benchmark AHB2. The warmth of the Harbeth would match nicely with the pure neutral sound of the AHB2. I used the AHB2 once with KEL LS50's on a desktop setup. Speakers were too big, but I had no choice back the... | |
| KEF Blade or Blade 2 These guys will find a dealer with a pair for you to hear. Send them an email. Home Audio | KEF USA I was speaking with a Audiogon user recently who planned to go listen to the Blade at a BestBuy (Magnolia). I like the TAD’s too, but they are n... | |
| Burning in question I used the following $500 item to burn in my gear recently. I took speaker wire to connect the amp to the device. The device is used for headphones. My CODA #8 amp has power meters. I was able to see the meters move even without headphones connect... | |
| Optical vs Ultra Rendu. It’s funny that people are worried about sq when they use usb to their dac. If you want to increase sq, stop using usb. Definitely not a universal statement, such as the Musetec 005 DAC. ************************************************* Here ... | |
| Magico A1 vs KEF Reference 1 (META) vs KEF LS50 + KEF KC62 The KEF LS50 and KC62 are a real good pairing. I was going to upgrade to the REF 1 but decided against it after the LS50 and KC62 pairing. It is Blades or bust now. | |
| KEF Blade 2 @chungjh Is the Blade you are going to demo the META original? I plan on buying the META Blade without hearing it. |
