| High end Cables not important for certain electronics? @toetapaudio Thanks for your feedback on the Makua, I was hoping you would chime in. Not many people in the USA have this preamp and it is hard to get feedback on it. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Thanks @uberwaltz for the Tidal and Qubuz info. I see now that Tidal has the new Black Keys complete album. I love the BK's. Listening to the new one now. | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 The TAD ME1 is not as detailed as the 3F but rather close in that department. The ME1 maybe better for longer listening sessions. I know with the Luxman system + TAD ME1 demo I was totally satisfied with the sound and wanted to listen all day. I l... | |
| High end Cables not important for certain electronics? @almarg Thanks for the info an link. Maybe I can live with my existing lower end XLR's. I need to research what you have posted and see how it applies to what I am considering. | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 @audiotroy I have heard the T+A 3100 HV several times and I think it is great, actually tremendous gear. Something I am going to look at with my future down stairs big room system (KEF Blades). I was considering getting the T+A clearance units f... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 BTW - I was not recommending the MOON gear for the Persona. I said the Persona 5F sounded very good with the Moon 860A amp and other associated MOON gear in that price range. However, I think even warmer sounding gear would work better with the Pe... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 If you read some Persona threads there are some Persona owners who are critical of the demos with MAC and Persona. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Lux Prima - Karen O / Danger Mouse For maybe the 100th time since the disk came out earlier this year. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @uberwaltz Are you getting the complete release or selected tracks? What streaming source? | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 @smodtactical As someone who owned 7B-SST for 5 years and is 99% sure to buy a Persona 3F I would advise you to not use the Brystons with the Persona. It would be way too bright. The almost top of the line MOON gear that I demoed the Persona 5F wa... | |
| New KEF Reference 5 speakers I agree with room acoustics and the LS50. I had them in a bad room for years and I liked them a lot. Now I have them in a treated room, perfect size for them and love them. Everything has improved across the board. Of course, the bass is lacking b... | |
| New KEF Reference 5 speakers The Kef Blades have deeper puncher bass and throw a bigger soundstage. They do not disapear as well. I always though the Blades were great at the disappearing trick, the best I have heard. If the 9H are even better than this then that is somet... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 @smodtactical I have a feeling you are going to Kennedy Hi-Fi for the 9H demo. If you are, how about also having a listen to their Yamaha NS 5000 which is setup in another room. I cannot hear this speaker until I get back home to Toronto near the ... | |

| Final piece of the puzzle: digital correction in a suboptimal room Try and use something like ROON with built-in DSP in the software. The DSP in ROON is not the greatest but it is evolving with every software release. https://roonlabs.com/ Also look at the Anthem STR preamp which has a highly rated ARC3 DSP and a... |
