| Is this an right time to buy hifi? The stuff I bought (9 or 10 items) in the last 12 months has had some delays due to COVID supply issues but I have had no issue with any of them except 1 preamp where they used a wrong board from their other preamp. This happened in May 2020 timef... | |

| Looking for a DAC under 2k BTW - that Gustard X26 Pro is on sale for $1300 this week. I was able to also get that discount even though I purchased before the sale. | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? @clarinetmonster2 I love the AHB2 and HPA4. I normally use it with the DAC3B but recently more so with the Audio Mirror Tubadour. It is a big difference with the tube DAC. You hear whatever gear you add or remove with the Benchmark gear or the qua... | |
| moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's I would let the speakers go and get a RAAL SR1a earphones. I wish I had these when I was in an apartment. The enjoyment factor with these will be exponentially greater than any speaker in an apartment. When I was in an apartment, I tried monitors ... | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. I forgot to try my 50th LS50’s with the CODA CSiB integrated before I sold it. However, I now am driving the LS50 with the KRELL K-300i. It is a bigger sound, with more bass, than any of the prior amps I had on the LS50. Which included some Bryton... | |
| Does removing "interface jitter" help, if my source has jitter? @cheeg No problem. My frame of reference is the AudioMirror Tubadour III SE tube DAC that is really growing on me. At the other end is the Benchmark DAC3B that is amazing on great recordings and a little strong on bad recordings. I am hoping the G... | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so In the cutout photo, those 2 things near the display could be fans. Though I do not hear anything there. This unit is played for most of the day in the living room and at the end of the day the unit is warm but I still do not hear any fans.I maybe... | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so There are no cooling fans on the KRELL K-300i, at least none that I see or hear. I will check if there are any near the vents. I bought it recently and it is a great integrated. Better for my needs than the Luxman 509x which I feel is a bit limp. ... | |
| Does removing "interface jitter" help, if my source has jitter? @cheeg I will hear it myself on Thursday. I bought it a few days ago and it is being shipped from China. It will need some time to burn-in.I have a 30 day trial period with this purchase.https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/gustard-x26-pro-full-deco... | |

| Class D for a Tube Lover I also wanted to try some warmish Class D amps. So I was led to try this one. It was shipped on Saturday and I will try it on a 30 day trial. Stereo | D Sonic (d-sonic.com) | |
| Does removing "interface jitter" help, if my source has jitter? I am thinking of upgrading my DAC3B to the Gustard X26 Pro. https://soundnews.net/sources/dacs/gustard-x26-pro-dac-review/ | |
| ls 50 metas compared to floorstanding speakers I have the LS50 in a medium sized room but with 25+ foot ceiling. I sit nearfield and I have a very powerful integrated amp on the LS50's. I am really surprised at how loud they play and the amp I am now using is adding more bass than I ever recal... | |
| My journey to find a speaker + amp + setup for classical music (piano) @sangbro Well I do not want to comment on that. Costa Mesa, California. Maybe my search ability is not good enough. You can listen to the Yamaha NS5000 speakers in 1 of the 4 locations in the USA which is less than a hour from you. Contact — Shel... |
