| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? If something is fatiguing, it is likely the room. | |
| Good old days Check out the RAAL SR1a with even a $300 Shitt Jotenhuim R headphone amp (if still sold). You could also use your 2-channel amps (with al lot of power), or for reference level sound, the RAAL VM-1a headphone amp. I doubt there is a better headph... | |
| Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying I have a Lumin X1 but use wired. However, I think the beauty of the X1 streamer is that it should not matter if you use WiFi before the Fibre Optical. For your situation getting a network switch with both RJ45 and Fibre Optical options would sol... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @lee_short I do not know exactly what I have, but It is a SPDIF, with RCA at GAN1 end and BNC at streamer end. This worked with the Lumin X1 as a streamer and the Sonore OpticalRendu connected to a Sonore UltraDgital streamer which had BNC connect... | |
| Seriously though, maybe the best tweak is exercise? I definitely have better vision after a workout where I am pouring sweat, such as playing squash or spinning. The hearing maybe improved by this too, since everything is better with the body after a hard workout. | |
| Roon Room Correction- Who Has used it? Opinions please! If you use ROON and want a pro to do the DSP for you remotely for your room (after you measure it). You use some free software and a decent mic for about $100 to measure the room via guided instructions. Digital Room Calibration Services, Convo... | |
| Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused. Before you buy the speakers make sure you have the room figured out. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I have been listening to the GAN1 for almost the whole day (and yesterday) and this amp sounds great, even without the necessary sub. I am very impressed by this amp. I also sold 1 of my Benchmark AHB2 amps today. I am keeping the other one becau... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I had a interesting demo session with my friend. The GAN1 sounded bad to him on the RAAL SR1a via a adapter box. He is used to the RAAL VM-1a so everything else sounds inferior. As I also said in my posts about the VM-1a. We then put his Bryston ... | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? @jafant If I manage to last the year without getting fired from a second job I am doing, then I will get the Playback Designs Dream or Edelwise for both streaming and SACD. The designer of the Playback Designs DACs is the same guy that was involve... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta The tuner is out of consideration on the GAN1. However, my VM-1a headphone amp, which is better than the GAN1, has XLR inputs and I will use it with the RAAL SR1a earphones for the 3 hours in the morning as I listen to KCRW on my Magnum Dynalab MD... | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? I work 2 full-time jobs this year. Luckily, I work from home. If it was not for my stereo, especially my RAAL headphones for late night work, no chance I would be working so many hours. I also have a 6-year-old, though this year he is not getting ... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile I never considered listening to music a hobby. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Can anyone tell me what my implementation options are for adding my KEF KC62 sub with the GAN1? I am putting together a list of items that I am going to advertise to sell tomorrow. I am wondering whether to keep the fine sounding KEF KC62 or sell... | |
| Predicting the Next Paradigm Speaker Flagship...Persona v2? @tistru Great post. I am always interested in what Paradigm is doing, especially with the Persona lineup. Another competitor to the Persona from the point of view of the drivers is Yamaha, with the NS5000 and NS3000. |
