| Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago The speakers I wanted close to 20 years ago were the Thiel CS3.7. I had Revel Salon 1 back then and thought the CS3.7 was better. When I was deciding between speakers last year I narrowed it down to a broken down CS3.7 (which needed fixing) or the... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier This preamp is a bit expensive but it has some historical connection with Threshold and it does sound great. I also own it and it sounds great. You may want to research the lower priced preamp models in CODA's lineup. Coda 07X Only 10 Hrs.use For... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I am listening to the DAC3B as I type this. I was listening to the warmer Gustard X26 Pro DAC all day. However, whenever I listen to the DAC3B it just seems to sound right to me, especially on pop and rock music. Same CS3,7 system, both ... | |
| Headphones as a nearfiled listening source?!... I would guess this one. True Ribbon Headphones & Amplifiers | RAAL-requisite (raalrequisite.com) | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel A friend of mine who owns the DAC3B told me that it is thin on the bottom. He is a musician and knows more than me on how instruments and voices should sound. I also own the DAC3B and like the sound, it is clear, powerful, and fatigue f... | |
| What headphone and amplifier for classical enthusiast @rvpiano I bought the SR1a for my AB2 monos (great amps BTW). The SR1a designer in Serbia loved the AHB2 and used them to design the headphone. I was warned that the AHB2 would not work well with the SR1a by some people in the USA. However, I deci... | |

| KEF Reference 3 or Raidho X2? @verdantaudio I am really impressed by your posts. You really add a lot of value to the conversation here. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I realized I said 007 when I meant 005, but it was too late to change. I would love to have Sandu (one of the best reviewers) do a comparison of the Gustard and 005 given his comments on the Gustard. The One to Beat: Gustard X26 PRO DAC Review (s... | |
| KEF Reference 3 or Raidho X2? I believe the Raidho require some space way from the front wall. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC My Gustard X26 Pro also seems to be built with some similar characteristics as the 005. I am not an engineer so I am going by the descriptions. The Gustard is not as revealing as my Benchmark DAC3B (close) but it is warmer. The 005 sounds a bit li... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I sent Sandu at Soundnews.net a request to consider reviewing the 007 and also compare it with the Gustard X26 Pro, which is one of his references. He reviews a lot of Chinese made DACs so he may have a reason to do so. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ja_kub_sz Currently I have the Gustard X26 Pro (Dual 9038 sabre chipset), and am loving it. I also have the Gustard X26 Pro and like it a lot. Have you had a chance to do a comparison of the 005 and the Gustard? I heard some great feedback on ... | |
| Which preamp to use? The DAC2 HGC will sound better with a Benchmark LA4 or HPA4 preamp, especially at low volumes. I have had all 3 units. I am inclined to believe that the PASS preamp will also be better than the DAC3 HGC direct to amp. I found the volume on the HGC... |
