| KEF LS60 v Reference 1s @dbphd You can hear the LS60 at Best Buy on the way to Los Angeles. Not sure which store. KEF is also selling the LS60 for 2K off this month. @mapman The LS50 Mets and KEF KC62 sub were really good. I gave the LS50 to my nephew and now run with t... | |
| Upgradeitis I had the same upgrade considerations: 1) KEF Blade Meta or KEF Reference 3 Meta 2) Vivid Kaya 45 3) Magico A3 4) Yamaha NS5000 I also upgraded from the CODA CSiB | CODA #8 | CODA #16 My DAC was a Lumin X1 but sold that to buy speakers and n... | |
| Budget Amp for Sonus Faber If you want a slightly warm amp them the Schitt Vidar. If you want a real clean sounding amp, then the Benchmark AHB2. Both are very small and 100 watts. The AHB2 would be interesting with the warm Sonus Faber. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Only suggestion I would make is on the speakers. I demoed those speakers along with the Yamaha NS5000 and Vivid Kaya 45. The Yamaha and Vivid sounded way more coherent to my ears. I ended up with the NS5000. The Vivid speakers are rather unique a... | |
| Who is the best power amplifier that matches better with Zellaton plural evo If you are spending Nagra money the KRELL KSA i400 would be what I would look at. I have owned 2 of the lower end models and they sounded great. Super smooth and buttery sound with good detail. Class A using the KRELL iBias system. It also runs co... | |
| Integrated for TAD ME1: Luxman, Accuphase or Soulnote? I had the CODA CSiB integrated and as mentioned previously, the KRELL K-300i integrated (Dou XD variant). I would take the KRELL over the CODA. That Class A of the KRELL is great and would work really nice with the TAD ME-1. I sold both and now ... | |
| KEF LS60: Distance from wall behind them It should not matter since they have DSP to adjust for placement. | |
| Solid-state alternative to Freya + I owned the Freya+ and have 3 or 4 Schitt pieces playing a crucial role in my headphone setup. The new Schitt Mjolnir (sp?) headphone/preamp is better to my ears by a lot. I tried this preamp with my Magnepan LRS+ and CODA #16 and Magtech amps. I... | |
| Integrated for TAD ME1: Luxman, Accuphase or Soulnote? I had the TAD ME-1 as my top choices for my office system. I demoed it with Luxman gear, C900u and m900u. It sounded great. I was a little annoyed when TAD dropped the price by $5k and then raised it again by $5k a few months later (it was not a s... | |

| SACD is VERY confusing I have the following device that takes the SACD DSD signal from my cheap OPPO player and decodes the DSD. GeerFab Audio D.BOB Digital BreakOut Box – Upscale Audio This DSD is them sent to my Schitt Yggi+ Less is More DAC via SPDIF. I think that ... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? I can afford a lot of audio gear; however, I have learned that you do not need to spend as much money as I did in the past to get comparable and sometimes better sound. First thing for good sound is the room. Cables make a difference in most gea... | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade As someone who owned the first modded LSA Voyager and now the PeachTree GAN1 (also modded). My preference is the GAN1. I finally got the GAN1 back playing tunes (needed another streamer). It is such a good amp. I only use it now for my RAAL CA-1a ... | |
| New pre-amplifier? In the case, of DELL they want to make sure the machines that are returned do not come back again to them again. I think there is better testing on these refurbished machines than the new ones. Of course, some returns are not because of failures ... |
