| Raal Immanis top of the line headphones My last post turned out to be rather prophetic. I just spoke with my wife and we need to turn my current office into a bedroom for my kid. That means my lovely office system is going to be sold off. My new office space is not good for 2-channel H... | |
| Raal Immanis top of the line headphones @jasonbourne71 I am sure you have never heard any of the gear I mentioned but yet you have an expert opinion on this gear. For some people, especially the SR1a., the savings were massive buying a $5k earphone. One guy who contacted me about the R... | |
| Raal Immanis top of the line headphones I also heard from Danny that Stereophile and TAS will be reviewing the 2 RAAL 1995 phones (or maybe just 1 of the phones). | |
| Raal Immanis top of the line headphones Audiogon Discussion Forum (check out this thread). I have been waiting until I got a new job before I even thought about the Immanis. Since I start on Monday I am now thinking about the Immanis, I also have the CA-1a and sold the SR1a. The Imman... | |
| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary The new Aurelic S1 for $2 to $3k looks interesting, though it does not support fibre optic. AURALiC introducing new S1 streamer, updated ALTAIR G2.2 and V10 softw - AURALIC I would still get something from Sonore., who have many fibre streaming ... | |
| Amplifier recommendation The CODA is not a smooth silky mid-range. For that the KRELL Duo XD lineup is amazing. However, the CODA gear is slightly warm and to the neutral side of things. The Parasound A21+ was my gateway drug to the CODA gear. The A21+ was rather good bu... | |
| Amplifier recommendation @sls883 Did you trade the amp in with CODA (Doug) or with a dealer. I am eying the new CODA SYSTEM 150 amp and have a CODA #16 for potential trade. BTW - OP, last week, I setup my home office in my big space where I have my CODA #16 amp with my Y... | |
| Amplifier recommendation You should read Jeff Fritz’s articles on Sound Stage Ultra when he decided to revamp his system from a mega expensive to a fixed budget. While he was deciding on amps in the 20k - 40k range he got an old CODA Class A amp as a temporary placeholder... | |
| Battle of the Older DAC I have had about 10 DACs in the house over the last 5 years, from $700 to $15 000. Most of them sounded good. I do not think DAC tech has changed much in the last 5 years. Once jitter was figured out the difference between DACs came down to tastes... | |
| How to set up volume control on a DAC without a preamp I also have the Benchmark LA4. I find a volume control on a DAC not a feature but a bug. The LA4 is for people who do not want the pre to color the sound. Using a preamp like the LA4 (or the almost the same Holo Serene) will take your DAC to soni... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship I used to have 2 Musetec 005’s but sold both because it was not great with my tube RAAL VM-1a headphone amp. I loved it on my 2-channel SS gear. This new 006 is something I want to hear. If someone has a Schitt Yggi+ OG (now discontinued) or the ... | |
| Power amplifier longevity… thoughts? I suggest you try a newer but used Krell. The newer ones with the iBias technology are wonderful, stable, powerful, and sound simply like music. KRELL Duo 175XD | |
| Fiber or Eithenet No, just the "last mile" just before the DAC should be fibre. All the analog gremlins should not be able to travel in the glass fibre cable into your DAC. Using all fibre would not hurt and maybe cheaper or easier. I do not know the costs. It is ... | |
| Power amplifier longevity… thoughts? I have the LRS+ and have listened to a lot of amps on the LRS+. After a lot of online research, I found out that the Sanders MagTech maybe the dark horse amp for the LRS+. I had a 30-day home trial from Roger Sanders for a used amp and it was the ... | |
| Fiber or Eithenet It should not matter what is before the optical cable. |
