| 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... | |

| 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. | |
| New Preamp from Musetec My opinion is of value only to myself and do not question others tastes. My need for a preamp is for 2 reasons. I listen to a lot of FM radio on the airwaves with 3 tuners (not streaming FM). I also found that all DAC volume controls were of lesse... | |
| New Preamp from Musetec One way I compare a pre to see if it adds to the sound is to compare a DAC with volume direct to amp and then with a pre. The pre that had the least additional sound to the system was the Benchmark LA4 and HPA4 preamps. The Holo Serene is very clo... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? I think we maybe close to that singularity point. Though a lot of differences in DACs are related to the purposeful coloring of the sound. | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium When I look at a Wilson, I always think that someone designed a relatively ugly looking speaker and then they called in the "finisher" to make it super unpleasant to look at. When my wife came with me to a top of the line Wilson demo of what wa... | |
| New Preamp from Musetec The likely difference is that the Mustec maybe a bit warmer or smoother sounding. The 2 preamps I listed should be used if you do not want the sound of a preamp in the chain. That would be for any price of system. The Musetec preamp does look ama... | |
| New Preamp from Musetec Should be a competitor to the Holo Serene preamp. Which is a competitor to the Benchmark LA4 preamp. I own both of these. | |
| Thiel Owners Hi guys, I've ordered 2 new Coaxes for my 3.7s from Rob hope to get them by next week. It's a shame the new ones are black on the outside, hope they are just as good as the original ones? I think they are better because they do not need the ... | |
| Budget preamp with quality volume control If u have gain issues do not touch the topping pre90. It ONLY worked for me with amps that had gain adjustments, such as the Benchmark AHB2 and the Parasound A21+. It was terrible with about another 5 amps I used it with. The Sxhitt Freya+ has a ... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @topside3 All 3 of my streamers were great. I have not heard the very best feature of the PlayBack Designs Streamer-IF because I do not have a PD DAC to use the PLink feature. However, the SPDIF of the IF sounded a mix in-between the Lumin X1 fibr... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I had the modded Peachtree GAN1 and the PeachTree GAN400 in the house for the past month. I was using the GAN400 on the Magnepan LSR+, which I like a lot. I found the GAN400 with a Holo Serene preamp and Shitt Yggi+ LM rather good. A bit of hardne... |
