| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? I am guilty of chasing giant killer reviews. My new favorite reviewer is Soundnews.com from Hungary (headphone related). I actually bought 2 pieces last week based only on his reviews. After reading a lot of his reviews I agreed with this reviewer... | |
| Thiel Owners I had a Bryston 3B-ST and a 4B-ST and they were a little hard on top. I would not like it paired with my current 3.7. I also had a 7B-SST and even that was a little strong on top and I would not pair it with the 3.7. I did pair the 7B-SST with the... | |
| Speakers good for close to wall placement If you are open to using DSP then most speakers would work. | |
| Benchmark DAC3 HGC vs Mytek Manhattan If it works in your situation do a 30 day home trial of the Benchmark LA4 preamp ($2500) and hook up the Mytek or DAC3B to it. This made my DAC3B sound better than with other preamps and direct to amp. The DAC3B is about $1700 and does not have vo... | |
| Streamer's without built in DAC options? For what it's worth, the USA distributer of the Tambaqui told me that the USB is a better connection than Ethernet on this DAC (and also the Makua preamp with internal DAC). He demos using the Aurelic streamer, which he also sells. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I just bought the Matrix Mini-i 3 Pro (for headphones) and will compare it with my existing Benchmark DAC3B. The Mini is supposed to be close to the Element X. I would like to get the Halo and AudioByte VOX to maybe move up the DAC ladder.How are ... | |

| Holo Audio May DAC The Halo May Level 3 and the AudioByte Vox | Zap | Hub stack seem like advancing DAC technology without breaking the bank. I am looking at these 2 to supplement or replace a Benchmark DAC3B.The AudioByte vs the Rockna Wavelight is also very intere... | |

| Thiel CS 3.6 vs 3.7 What a fantastic video and so helpful to me. I have to solder the COAXs back into the speaker. I will likely also have to remove the crossover. This video showed me how the experts do it and I will copy them. I am not technically skilled in any of... | |
| Artists you only know through their greatest hits Tons of my music started out as greatest hits. Especially if you were not alive when the artists first released the music. My first one was the Beatles "Red" album and then "ChangesOne" by Bowie. Last night I was listening to all 3 of Bowie's Berl... |
