| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? Magnepan LRS - why because I like good sound on a budget. Plus my room is the right size anything bigger wouldn’t work. I agree for the same reasons. | |
| Yamaha ns 5000 The amp you should try is the KRELL Duo 300XD. There is a local dealer selling a used one for $6250. I owned the 175XD at one time. The model number represents the number of possible watts in Class A. So, the 300XD is 300 watts and the 175XD is 17... | |
| Yamaha ns 5000 @smodtactical That is the opposite issue I am having. I am thinking I want a bit less warmth than the CODA #16 with the NS5000. I love the #16 and the full range sound with the NS5000 is excellent. My issue is that I use the top end of the Benchma... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui I wanted to support local business, so I ordered the Schitt Yggy Less is More (the worst measuring version) for a home trial. This thing is amazing, and I think it is better than the Lumin X1 + fibre streaming that I traded-in for my speakers. I ... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @arafiq I am now somewhere around 300-400 hours on the LRS+. I listen to it from 9AM to about 9PM, later headphones, I am busy with work so a lot of music these days. I have noticed that the speakers have really opened up and sound very clean. It... | |
| Yamaha ns 5000 @jtgofish @smodtactical I think we are the 3 people on A'gon with the NS5000. How long did it take for your speakers to settle in with the sound not changing. I think I am close to 100 hours now on mine. I have a CODA #16 amp with it, and I have... | |
| Head-Fi can be so hardcore My friend is a headphone hardware vendor. He tells me that the excitement in the headphone market is like the 2-channel market in the 1970's. More people can afford the gear. I have sold a lot of gear on Head-fi, Audiogon, and USAM. By far the yo... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui I bought the Yggdrasil Less Is More DAC today. I should have driven the 80 miles to the SchittR and had a listen before I bought but I was too lazy to drive. I will use a Sonore OpticalRendu for the streaming. This is better than any DAC's built-i... | |

| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui The i2s does not mean it can decode DSD (SACD). I do not think that is even allowed with the licensing terms of DSD from Sony. My prior Mustec 005 DAC had i2s and that had nothing to do with DSD. i2s is usually a little closer to the DAC convert... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui @chauncey I am considering the Yggdrasil myself and would be interested in your comparisons. I am also looking at the OKTO DAC8 (likely get this one). Another DAC that I owned and liked a lot for my 2-channel was the Musetec 005. However, I did ... | |
| Is 12'x12' too small for Magnepan 1.7's? I have a Magnepan LRS+ in a 12 x 11 x 9 (4 extra feet of closet space) and the system sounds great. I have no desire to ’improve’ these speakers in this room. I use it with a KEF KC62 subwoofer (even better). I put the speaker 3-feet away from fr... | |
| Is D-Sonics audio still in business @alucard19 I do not own the DH Maria amp. I just linked to it because I think it is the same design as the PeachTree GAN1. The GAN1 is $1500. I have about $600 mods on top of that. I think it is a rather great amp just hindered by the limited conn... | |
| Is D-Sonics audio still in business @alucard19 GAN is Class D. I was going to return my GAN400 to Peachtree (trial period). I had it all packed and ready to go but decided to give it another go with my subwoofer in new location. I got some 15-foot RCA cables from Benchmark to make t... | |
| Is D-Sonics audio still in business Peachtree GAN400 is what I am listening to today. I used to own a D-Sonic unit. |
