| The Worst Room... My room is small and really bad. However, with acoustic panels and also software DSP (for digital only) via Convolution files (running on ROON Server). I have floor standers in the room and they sound excellent. I have a photo of the office room i... | |
| Directions... Facing away from the system. Music hit the ears faster and blacker blacks, much bigger soundstage. | |
| KEF LS50 Meta with Marantz MM7025 The KEF LS50 love power. I even ran them with Bryston 7B-SST which is about 600 watts @ 8Ohm.This morning I connected the LS50 with a single Benchmark AHB2 (100 @ 8 Ohm) and I was lamenting the low power number. | |
| Power Cord Wall to Conditioner Audience Forte F3 Forte F3 powerChord (audience-av.com) I use them on 2 amps and 2 from the wall to Audience Forte power conditioners. I am impressed by the performance of the Audience Forte conditioner. Not sure if the Forte F3 cable made a d... | |
| How can I switch multiple DACs to multiple amplifiers? I have 3 DACs and 2 sets of amps (1 pair of mono blocks and a stereo amp). I use a preamp with dual XLR outputs to connect to 2 different sets of speakers, RAAL SR1a and Thiel CS3.7.I use the CODA 07x preamp to control this setup. Not exactly answ... | |

| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD I think I posted that my KRELL k-300i would be great with a Harbeth, but I deleted that post since I was set to sell the unit. However, today those plans have changed and the KRELL is needed.I have heard the Harbeth with Luxman c900u and m900u com... | |

| Break-in of a Class D amp? I recently bought a Class D (Pascal) stereo amp and the owner for the company told me he did not think the amp needed any burn-in. I think he may have been correct since I have not notice a change in the sound (brand new build). My Benchmark AHB2 ... | |
| The Black Keys - Delta Kream TIDAL is indicating May 14, 2021.Crawling Kingsnake sounds so good on my system. I was a little shocked by how good it sounded sonically. | |
| SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier I now have a lot of hours on the CODA 07x in my office system and this unit has helped me setup my gear in an interesting way. It also made the decision to sell my KRELL K-300i integrated a lot easier.This weekend I brought back my Benchmark AHB2’... | |
| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system This thread is perfect timing for me. I was looking at external clocks this afternoon. My amazing Gustard X26 Pro DAC ($1500 MSRP) has the ability to add an external clock. I have heard a lot of DACs and this one is really good, amazing for the pr... | |
| Pontus vs Gustard? I would not get the Gustard X26 Pro if you need to drive it Direct to amp. It has some bug that causes it to generate louder hiss after many hours. Going into a preamp does not have this issue.Going direct to amp is using more circuity than into a... | |
| Best or Most Interesting Speakers I wanted to update this thread because I am trying something old again and now it sounds very good.In the past I was saying the Benchmark AHB2 was too harsh with the RAAL SR1a. At that time I tried both the Audience Conductor SE and also Benchmark... | |
