| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I posted around October 2020 the name of the guy would did my mods. Audio Repairs & Modifications & Care (sublimelistening.com) He actually drove to my house to fix an issue with a mod he had done. A very honest and expert SCD... | |
| Peachtree Nova 150 as a pre only? I think it is great but I am also selling it so my opinions may sound crooked. As I type this I am listening to Fela Kuti and it just sounds great on the Thiel CS3.7. The KRELL is very smooth along with what I think is above average power in the b... | |
| $5k-$6K DACs w Roon? The new Gustard X26 Pro is a phenomenal performer. I think it is very low cost at $1500 (on sale for $1300) I have it and it replaced my Benchmark DAC3B in the office system. I moved the DAC3B to the living room. I stream into the Gustard with a S... | |
| Peachtree Nova 150 as a pre only? I did that test with my Nova 150 preamp and amp separately. The preamp and DAC were the weakest link on the 150. The amp section was actually pretty good and made me consider the amp500. I had the 150 for 2 or 3 years. I enjoyed it when I owned it. | |
| Please help! First Hi-fi audio system for small listening space Get a RAAL SR1a headphones with the RAAL HSA-1b headphone amp and then the room is no longer an obstacle to good sound. You get 2 inputs RCA and XLR with the HSA-1b. I have the SR1a and I like it as much as my Thiel CS3.7 floor standers (which I w... | |
| Which amplifier should i buy The CODA CSiB integrated is great for the price. I had one and sold a few weeks ago. I am now getting the CODA 07x preamp and the CODA #8 amp because I liked the CSiB. I also have the KRELL K-300i (90 watts Class A + more Class AB) that seemed mor... | |
| KEF reference line revamp ?? I thought I read somewhere KEF saying the Ref line will get the meta. | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? Agree with the Benchmark stack being smooth, It is a smoothness that also has the most clarity that I ever heard.I recently added a Gustard X26 Pro to my Benchmark HPA4 | AHB2 mono. It replaced the Benchmark DAC3B (still keeping it). The sound of ... | |
| Denafrips IRIS + Hi-Fi USB Card = Overkill? @jay73 Let me tell you my setup. Maybe my explanation will answer your questions.1) I have 5 PowerLine adapters hooked up in 5 rooms of the house, including garage. These PowerLine adapter are $50 for a pair and transform the copper wire in your h... | |
| Reccomend a good preamp for me. I have 2 preamps that are rather opposites. The CODA 07x ($6K) and the Benchmark HPA4 or LA4. The Benchmark has no sound and it will pass the sound of the source with what seems to be no alteration of the signal. I would take the 30 day home tria... | |
| Denafrips IRIS + Hi-Fi USB Card = Overkill? I use a Ubiquiti Networks swatch with 2 Fibre connections. I use each connection to a Sonore OpticalRendu which then converts USB and into 2 DACs. It sounds great and better than RJ45 network streaming and other non-Fibre streaming such as the mic... | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover I decided to sell my KRELL K-300i integrated today so that freed up the long speaker cables I need to test out my new Class D stereo amp. https://www.d-sonic.com/product/m3a-800s-stereo-amplifier/ It is now connected to my difficult to drive Thiel... | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover I do not have a great frame of reference for this but I added my new D-Sonic amp to my RAAL SR1a headphone system yesterday. The system is composed of the following gear, AudioMirror Tubadour III SE tube DAC | Benchmark HPA4 preamp | D-Sonic m3a-8... | |
| Acoustic Blanket for TV I thought about this a little more last night and decided to dump the TV to the garage and make the sound as good as before the TV went in. The TV I have in the garage is on it's last legs and the office TV will go there. @mijostyn Not sure about ... |
