| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Thanks for the feedback. I am going to give it a try. One reason I want to do this is because I was reading a review of my RAAL CA-1a headphones, and the reviewer stated that it sounded like a Maggie without the room issues. I have both the RAAL S... | |
| Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k Tonight, I setup my Playback Designs Stream-IF streamer. It cost me $2K and was sitting under my office desk for the past 3 months. The plan is to buy the DREAM DAC pretty soon and use the Plink on the streamer to the DREAM DAC. Today I wanted to... | |
| Bringing Bryston 4B back to 1997 new. I owned the BP20 and also owned Bryston amps in the 1990’s. I also had a Thiel SCS4 monitor with a Bryston 7B-sst and I think a BAT VK-42SE preamp (warm). The combo of the BP20 + Bryston 1997 + Thiel would be too bright for my ears. I would get a... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend The new Lumin U2 seems to be using the same streamer as in the Lumin X1. That streamer is pretty amazing. The settings that you have access to is incredible. I use it for both analog duty and to stream digital to my PeachTree GAN1 via SPDIF (along... | |
| Help me upgrade my beginner system! At one time I compared the preamp + amp sections of the Peachtree Nova 150. I had this unit for about 3 years. I forgot how I did the separation of the different parts to test, but I know I did do that and came to the following conclusions: - the... | |

| Another "Best" amplifier Question. I had the KRELL K-300i integratged amp on my KEF LS50 Meta's and it was great. A shame I had to sell that unit. I could use it again today on the KEFs. I am now using a CODA #16 on my LS50 Meta. I will soon upgrade that to Reference 1 Meta. The a... | |
| Rank the top reference DACs you've heard Nice to see all the PlayBack Designs love. I was questioning my need to 'upgrade' to that DAC. | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report Anyone hear the new NS-2000A Speaker - Yamaha USA at Axpona? They had both the NS5000 and this new speaker. BTW - Clarisys Audio info, Clarisys Audio (audioshark.org) | |
| Prospectives on Chi-Fi My iPhone is rather good. | |
| Bang for the buck In a small room a KEF LS50 Meta + a KEF KC62 sub is a killer combo. I loved this combo for the past year+. I sold the sub recently and looking to sell the LS50 Meta because my new amp does not play nice with subs. I will be getting the KEF Referen... | |
| Help me upgrade my beginner system! I just saw this online. Peachtree GAN-1 unboxing & video review | Darko.Audio Have not watched it but the stock unit is not as good as what I have. The difference is rather big. | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had If you have mono blocks, the best I have owned were the Audience FrontRow speaker cables. I no longer have mono blocks so I am selling them to get a longer FrontRow speaker cable. | |
| Help me upgrade my beginner system! @dvujovic j Your PeachTree Nova is OK not great. I had the PeachTree NOVA 150 for a few years. I suggest you take a chance and buy the Peachtree GAN1 and the BluesNode streamer for sub integration, analog input, and MAYBE volume. I am not sure ab... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I used the Musetec 005 with a fibre stream from both the Lumin X1 (USB out) and Sonore OpticalRendu. Both are excellent streamers and likely hard to beat. I found the Lumin X1 as a DAC a tiny bit better than the Musetec. When I say better, I have... |
