| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? I have had 3 GAN amps. Just re-bought the PeachTree GAN400 yesterday. The best GAN amp I have had was the PeachTree GAN1 that was mentioned above, however, mine was modded by Ric Shultz at Tweak Audio. TheGAN1 went from an OK amp to almost the be... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @christianb5s4 If you do buy a used #16 be aware that there is some special setup needed to be done on the amp before it is shipped. Luckily, the guy I bought my used amp from had it checked out by CODA and they informed him how to pack for shippi... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @christianb5s4 I am also considering the CODA #15.5 (an upgraded model). I have a #16. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649992711-coda-no-155/ Though I am leaning towards the CODA #8 or Bryston 4B3 for my LRS+. Not in a rush. | |
| Parasound vs Coda @christianb5s4 Not sure about home demos. I have only bought some items online from them. I have gone to the store for some audio events. I definitely recommend that you make that relatively short drive up to Covina. I think the Duo XD is really g... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @christianb5s4 Sunny's in Covina, CA has the Duo 300XD trade-in model for $6250. | |
| Parasound vs Coda I had a Parasound A23 and A21+. The A21+ was rather good, though a little too warm for me and not as detailed. I got a KRELL Duo 175XD to replace it and it was much better for my tastes. Ultra smooth and more detailed, slightly less warm. At that... | |
| Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space... @petaluman I had my CODA #16 with the LRS+ and KC62 sub and my mind was blown with that sound. A very musical full range sound in the small room. It was much better than the Thiel CS3.7 in the same space without the sub. Now I do think the Thiel C... | |
| Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space... @liquidsound I do not thing a bigger panel would fit my room. The LSR+ does give a rather large soundstage and fills the room more so than any other speaker I have had in this space. I also have the KEF LS50 Meta and the KEF KC62 sub in this spac... | |
| Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space... I have similar space (12 x 11 x 9) and the room is treated. The LRS+ works amazing in this space with the KEF KC62 sub. I would not try anything bigger than the LRS+. | |
| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions For warmth and soundstage a used Gustard X26 Pro (i owned) or maybe the new Gustard R2R version which I have not owned. Both can be bought for under a $1000. | |
| Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u With my Thiel CS3,7, a speaker that went down to 2 Ohm a lot, my Benchmark AHB2 did not have a very propulsive or powerful sound with dynamic music. It sounded great with slower stuff. With a CODA #8, KRELL Duo 175XD, Parasound A21+ the sound was... | |
| Schiit URD CD Transport SOON? I am getting this because the recent Yggi+ LM DAC I got is amazing. The price is not too bad for getting back the convenience of playing CDs. There are times when streaming is not working great or the internet is down. A shame it is not a ROON E... | |
| Opening Acts For the Rolling Stones I would have love to have been at this show. I think this was the SARS show. Downsview Park, Toronto, Canada, July 30, 2003: Dan Akroyd & Jim Belushi (Have Love Will Travel), Sam Roberts, Kathleen Edwards, La Chicane, Tea Party, The Flaming L... | |
| Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u KRELL Duo XD lineup | |
| DAC Under $3000 I like the Schitt Yggi+ Less is More DAC more than a 7x more expensive DAC that came before it. I also have the Benchmark DAC3B from your list. The Yggi+ is better. I also stream via fibre optic cable and that is a big benefit. |
