| New KEF Reference 5 speakers @audiotroy I thought Rosewood and Walnut were 2 of the nicer colors. I have to agree with you that the TAD ME1 is a little better than the Ref 1 but the TAD is overpriced in my view, especially when TAD were OK in reducing it to $10K for a few mon... | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week @teajay Thanks for the feedback. You got me interested now. It turns out there is a local CODA dealer for me. I think I will have a listen to the 07x preamp and the 16.0 amp before I put my money down on the Luxman amp + ? preamp. The Luxman deale... | |
| New KEF Reference 5 speakers Anybody else wondering if KEF is going to release a newer version of the REFERENCE line or even the Blades. The REFERENCE line currently has a huge sale going on. I spoke with a dealer a few days ago about the Blade and my jaw dropped when I heard... | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week @teajay Does it run warm or hot?Have you heard the Luxman m900u amp to compare against? How about a photo(s) on the virtual systems to see you big this beast really is? You would think Coda would do this on their web site but I believe we have a ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? A redo from last night because these 3 albums are so good.Pointer Sisters - Steppin'Pointer Sisters - Break OutPointer Sisters - The Best Of The Pointer SistersThese ladies are awesome. Never realized the Break Out album was so good when I was a k... | |
| Why No Love For Peachtree Audio? Peachtree was getting a lot of good press here when the Nova line came out. They revamped production to Canada + North Carolina I believe. I went with the reviews and bought a Nova 150 unheard. A great move and I still have it about 5 years later.... | |
| Which SS integrated amp to choose? ML 585 over the ML 5000 series. I think I liked it more than the Luxman 509x. Though that was 12 months ago, but I do recall thinking the ML 585 was the best integrated I heard.Today, if I were to look at integrateds, I would audition the Hegel 390. | |
| Contrasting KEF reference fives vs proac k6 vs Dynaudio floorstanders https://www.shop.us.kef.com/specials/kef-specials/reference-5-ultimate-floorstanding-speaker.html | |
| Preamp w/DAC (or Integrated w/DAC) vs. Outboard/External DAC? (Again! Forgive me!) I do not think DAC tech is changing that fast anymore. Streamer tech is for sure.An internal DAC is rather convenient considering the shelf space saved, 1 less set of interconnects and power chord. Maybe even better sound from the internal DACs sh... | |

| Building an AUDIOPHILE friendly PC from scratch so what is a must to consider in 2020? Get a Sonore Rendu streamer and the cheapest retail SILENT computer that will run your music software. If you can make the streamer work on fibre optical network the better. I have a cheap DELL my old company was about to throw out and lower end R... | |
| unman M-900u for Focal Sopras 2 and 3 @dpac996 The audition was done 2 times at Excel Audio in Newport Beach. The room is large and not too bad, though a lot of gear on the sidewalls away from the demo speakers. | |
| unman M-900u for Focal Sopras 2 and 3 Surprising that you did not like the m900 with TAD. The reason I am buying the m900u is because of an audition I had with the m900u+c900u+Luxman DAC ($8K one) + TAD ME1. The best sound I have ever heard from my regular test tracks. I am just getti... | |
| Interesting study I thought I was superior when I drove my Dodge Neon too. | |
| Focal Kanta Sale I saw that too and the Focal Kanta 2 was something that would work amazing in my small room. |
