| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Lux Prima - Karen O + Danger MouseLikely obscure around here since most people seem to dislike new music. Best album in the last decade. I listened to this one everyday for a month or 2 when it came out in 2019. Today I listened to it with my new ... | |
| What is the most analytical sounding amplifier that you have heard? I am listening to some Al Green now on my "analytical" gear and goosebumps. Synergy is key with a lot of gear, especially stuff considered analytical. | |
| What is the most analytical sounding amplifier that you have heard? I used to think analytical sound was synonymous with fatiguing sound. However with the full Benchmark stack I do not find this analytical sound to be fatiguing, DAC3B | HPA4 | AHB2 x 2. It turns out this is my favorite sound signature.I just spent... | |
| Hegel H390 vs Krell Vanguard digital integrates amps One thing that I do not have is an EtherREGEN for the cleanup of Ethernet signal. A somewhat controversial device but the RJ45 steamer of the KRELL is theoretically an ideal candidate for that device. | |
| Hegel H390 vs Krell Vanguard digital integrates amps @luckyrainbow63 Problem with asking me is I may influence your decision. You could very well be happy with the internal DAC on the KRELL and not have the reaction I had.With the tests I did will the 3 DACs and 3 streamers I came to some conclusion... | |
| Looking to buy a power conditioner I bought 2 of the new Audience Forte power strips with the free Forte power cord (the CableCo web site has this deal. One of these strips is extra inputs for my filled up Torus RM15. The other one is for the family room gear. I am not sure if this... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? I see the Benchmark DAC3B mentioned above. I have come to the realization that this DAC is a phenomenal performer. It is neutral but amazingly fatigue free for me. My AMT3SE is also fatigue free but that uses a tube. The DAC3B is also useful that ... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? @audio2design I was also very surprised that the volume seemed louder. I did not get out my iPhone DB meter to measure but subjectively I thought it was a bit louder. The fact that it was much better was without a doubt.I am using the ROON ONLY ve... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? I just finished doing some testing with 3 streaming solutions I have in my office system.STREAMERS- microRendu with linear power supply (LPS) - opticalRendu with linear power supply (LPS) (I have 2 of these)- RJ45 streaming with 1 DAC DACS- Benc... | |
| Hegel H390 vs Krell Vanguard digital integrates amps @luckrainbow63 I tested the AMT3SE using XLR to the KRELL K-300i vs the USB on the KRELL. Both of them were streaming using Fibre with the only difference being slightly different USB cables to the DAC and the Linear Power Supply were not the same... | |
| Acoustic Blanket for TV Another option this time from GIK Acoustics that was recommended to me by the guy who did my GIK panels.If the problem is only the TV I have had success with using Alphas as they diffuse and absorb. The thicker the better. One of these:6A Alpha Se... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? Santana @ WoodstockRush @ anytimePearl Jam @ 2000'sThe Who @ early 1970's | |
| Acoustic Blanket for TV The guy at Acoustic Curtains got back to me today. https://www.acoustic-curtains.com/curtains/acoustic-curtains/ Our custom made sound absorbing curtains are pleated with 2x fullness using fabric Destiny, Nova Suede or Visa Velvet. Hooks are in... | |
| Acoustic Blanket for TV @jetter The Thiel CS3.7 have been my second favorite speaker of all-time. There is something about the sound that just felt right to me. The KEF Blade is my fav. I never had the space for it in the past nor now, but I was able to use DSP with ROON... | |
| Hegel H390 vs Krell Vanguard digital integrates amps I should add that I thought the RJ45 Network streaming on the KRELL internal DAC was not as good as my other streaming options. The optical Rendu was easily better. I forgot if I compared it with my mircoRendu. If you have not heard Fibre then may... |
