| 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 ... | |
| Acoustic Blanket for TV An Update:I received the https://www.acoustimac.com/ panel that was previously mentioned. I am impressed at the ability of this panel to absorb the sound and make the TV doable in-between the speakers. I also have the moving blanket over the TV an... | |
| Best DAC / Budget For $1300 the Gustard X26 Pro is a steal. It is an incredible DAC. I would love it if someone would compare this to $10K to $20K DACs. This DAC will not be out of place with the very best systems.It runs rather hot though (temperature wise). Going... | |
| Pontus, Brooklyn+ or Benchmark 3? Pros and Cons @cheeg I got the Gustard a day earlier than scheduled. I imagine this things sound is going to open up as time goes on. I can say that listening to the first album, The Stones Let it Bleed, sounds better on the Gustard than the DAC3B. The DAC3B is... | |
| Is this an right time to buy hifi? Someone gets it! There is a vaccine for this | |
| Move on from my Bryston BDA-1? The One to Beat: Gustard X26 PRO DAC Review (soundnews.net) $1300 (on sale now)I will get this delivered tomorrow. I will compare this to my 2 existing DACs, Benchmark DAC3B and Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE (mentioned above). The review above says... | |
| 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... | |
| Dallas or Texas-based audio companies Just bought some amps from D-Sonic who are in Texas. | |
| 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. ... |
