| Mono blocks for Revel Salon 1’s recommendation? @mark200mph I drive mine with amp rolling of michi m8,mcintosh 1.25,bryston 28b3 Can you describe the differences between these 3 amps on your Salon1. | |
| What does your DAC sound like I wanted to buy the Playback Designs Dream ($24k). I even purchased the PlayBack Designs STREM-IF for $3k which streams into the Dream via PLINK. However, I bought a Schitt Yggi+ OG DAC until I raised the cash. After a 30-day burn in, I thought I... | |
| Preamp for Luxman M-10X other than C-10x If you want a detailed preamp that is slightly warm, then the Holo Audio Serene would work nicely with the Luxman M-10. I have owned the Serene and have heard the M-10. The M-10 is similar to my CODA #16, and I used it with the Serene for a few ye... | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. "Wait until you see the prices when magnets can’t be sourced." Just found out that my fav headphone manufacturer put a hold on building at least 1 phone because of the Chinese governments' restrictions of raw metals exports. In this case, magnets. | |
| Mono blocks for Revel Salon 1’s recommendation? I had the Revel Salons 1's for 5 years and used Bryston 7B-SST monos with them. Not a great combo on top but I had a lot of good times with that setup. However, if I had the Salon 1 today and wanted mono blocks I would wait for the Schitt Audio r... | |
| Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals My speaker is like a Beryllium based speaker, the Yamaha NS5000 (the child of the Be Original Gangster, so to speak). It uses Zylon for the drivers, and it is as detailed as Be. After hearing the 761 I wanted to get it to pair it with the NS5000,... | |
| Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals Do the Focal's have Beryllium tweeters? I have heard the 761 with Paradigm Persona 9H (791 was preamp and DAC)..It was a bit fatiguing to me. | |
| Integrated that blew you away The Krell K300i (latest XD version) was a fav of mine. Both sonically and for the rock solid feature set for a 2-channel setup. The optional DAC is not shabby but can be easily improved upon with an external DAC. | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community Glad I did not spend the 2.5 hours driving the 100 miles to the show. That show used to be great. | |
| Freya+ SE and Balanced outputs to your amp I used the following 25-foot XLR with the Freya+ and now the Benchmark HPA4 preamp. Love these cables between the preamp and the amp. Benchmark Studio&Stage™ StarQuad XLR Cable for Analog Audio - Benchmark Media Systems These get sold out qu... | |
| Footers under new speakers @ronboco I was expecting the speaker to be vibrating but it did not seem to be doing that. | |
| Footers under new speakers Townshend Audio Seismic Isolation Podium for Speakers made a nice improvement to my Yanaha NS5000 speakers. I wanted to see how this worked so I played some really heavy pounding music loudly. I put a finger on the Podium's and noticed they were v... | |
| Looking for an all in one streamer/amp for a den system Get the active LS50 Wireless (used). | |
| Another great gone I listen to Morning Becomes Eclectic - KCRW on my FM tuner every morning M-F from 9AM-12PM. I spent a lot of money to get some great tuners so I could listen to this station, specifically to the morning DJ. I recently found out that this DJ, Noven... | |
| LTA Aero verses Holo May KTE @katzenjammer27 I have the following Yggi's, LIM | MIB | OG. I recently converted the LIM to the MIB. The best one by far for me is the OG. You cannot buy this DAC anymore. The MIB is pretty good but has a bit of the LIM sound for me to really lik... |
