| HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO? My office system is done. Schitt Yggi+ Less is More DAC | Holo Serene preamp | Sanders Magtech amp | Audience FrontRow speaker cables | Magnepan LRS+ speakers | Magnum Dynalab 108T tuner | Sansui TU9900 tuner | low-end Oppo SACD as transport | D.... | |
| Best preamp under 1500$ freya+ , cary slp03 ? I had the Freya+ and sold it. This new Schitt preamp is rather good on my 2-channel, and sounds better to me than the Freya+. Schiit Audio: Audio Products Designed and Built in Texas and California | |
| Getting Back In - But Doing it Sanely If you are willing to live with ONLY streaming and no subwoofer, then I think it is hard to beat a modded Peachtree GAN1. Mods cost $500 done by tweakaudio.com, Total cost is under $2k. You need a streamer with SPDIF out. If you want to go this wa... | |
| CODA amp No.8, Bryston 4B3, or Ayre VX-5 Twenty @henrynguyentx NO. Getting 2 AHB2 would solve that. The AHB2 is not as bad as most amps when the stereo amp is flipped to mono. The mono is not as good at 2-Ohm (a single AHB2 is better there) but if your speakers do not go there then you are fin... | |
| Robbie Robertson: "Killers Of The Flower Moon" Soundtrack Fav movie is the Color of Money, Scorsese, Robbie, and Paul Newman. My all-time 3 favorites. I have not seen a movie in about 5 years but want to see this new one. | |
| CODA amp No.8, Bryston 4B3, or Ayre VX-5 Twenty If you want to hear something different, you should try out the Benchmark AHB2 amp over the CODA. #8 and the 4B3. I do not remember how the Ayre sounded. I am someone who owned the #8 (a very good amp) and now own the CODA #16 (love it). I have ... | |
| Anybody here pair a Kinki EX-M7 with a Magnepan LRS+ ? I forgot to ask Roger, but I did read that online somewhere. That was a positive for me. Roger told me the name of the amp derives from it originally being designed specifically for Maggies (Mag - tech). | |
| CD/ SACD advice needed This is what I posted about above. I paid $700. It is DSD out from the OPPO player into your DAC via the D.BOB. Amazon.com: GeerFab Audio - D.BOB Digital Breakout Box : Electronics I got it from Uptown Audio in Los Angeles. GeerFab Audio D.BOB ... | |
| Anybody here pair a Kinki EX-M7 with a Magnepan LRS+ ? @tubeguy76 the best PeachTree amp is the GAN1 and if modded by Ric at TweakAudio then it is screamingly good. However, the 200 watts in that amp will not drive the LRS+ to the levels I have now. The Peachtree GAN400 is really good for the money, ... | |
| CD/ SACD advice needed I use a $700-$900 device called a D.BOB that can decode DSD into my external DAC, a Schitt Yggi+ LM. I have a used ratty $200 Oppo BluRay player to send DSD or PCM via HDMI to the D.BOB. Sounds pretty fine to my ears. I used to own one of the ve... | |
| USB Cable Well I have not confirmed anything, I just posted some data that seems to support what I am saying. You were making a definite claim that streaming is lossy (and thus UDP), such as watching a live sporting event on streaming video. I used to thi... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? I am someone who said my PeachTree GAN1 (has to be modded) was as good as about $30K of gear. I am also someone who said my gear is end game and threw out all my shipping boxes, except the amp, in-case of repairs. My other gear is a short driving... | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? Benchmark XLR are some fine cables and cost almost nothing on a relative scale. You definitely do not need expensive XLR cables. That link above is likely about AES48 (which I concur). | |
| Anybody here pair a Kinki EX-M7 with a Magnepan LRS+ ? I had those amps under consideration for my LRS+. The LRS+ needs a lot of power. I tried the following: PeachTree GAN400 (very low cost and what I would get if I went Class D) CODA #16 (mind-blowingly good $$$) Sanders Sound System Magtech (a... | |
| USB Cable @carlsbad2 Current high end streaming is supposed to be TCP from discussion on A’gon. I have no time to Google this to show proof. In the past I believe music streaming was UDP. I have ChatGPT open and asked it the question. Music stream... |
