| Thiel Owners @jafant Thanks for this thread. It made my CS3.7 ownership a very high end endeavor. This morning I played the CS3.7's with my Class A KRELL 175XD and my Benchmark LA4 preamp. This was in the big room I moved them too. It sounded amazing, better ... | |
| Best Value/Performance In An SACD Player For $2k, Or Less, Used? I have been listening to my Sony SCD-1 with Vacuum State Level 5+ mods this week (I am short a DAC for the next few weeks). This unit is incredible with SACD's. However, my unit's display is mostly dead now. I comes back occasionally. I think I a... | |
| DAC diminishing returns @agbrace There is a very nice improvement on the sound with 2 AHB2’s. It becomes louder at the lowest gain setting (actually all 3 settings). It is way more powerful, if your speakers, need that power. On the spec sheet, monos are even quieter tha... | |
| All New Yamaha NS-2000A Loudspeakers Are On The Market I wonder why the USA Yamaha is always so far behind the rest of the world. Speaker Systems - Audio & Visual - Products - Yamaha - Other European Countries For ex. the NS3000 is not available in the USA. | |
| DAC diminishing returns I had a full Benchmark stack, DAC3B, LA4, AHB2 and could never get really engaged with the sound quality vs other components, Pass Labs, ARC, HoloAudio. I ended up selling the DAC3B but still have the LA4 and AHB2. The LA4 is a very nice sounding... | |
| new kef ls60s just arrived @dbphd They kicked me out of Santa Barbara and now I am in Goleta next door to UCSB. Once I sell my Thiel’s I am going speaker less until this Poor Man raises the cash for the Blades. Been saying that for a decade now but this time I have all the ... | |
| new kef ls60s just arrived The LS60 got me moving to either sell my Livingroom gear and buy the LS60 or stick with my original plan to buy my final speaker. One result of this was that I was able to try my old KEF LS50 passive with the new KEF KC62 sub. I used a CODA 07x p... | |
| compare Meze Empyrean with Focal Stellia I was recently given a RAAL CA-1a to take home to demo. I consider the RAAL SR1a ’earphones’ one of the very best SPEAKERS I have heard at any price. I tend to dislike headphone sound. Read the reviews from Stereophile and anyone else. RAAL-requi... | |
| Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else? The new Duo lineup from KRELLL seems very well built. I have had the K-300i and now the 175XD and cannot fault them operationally. In fact, the K-300i was the very best implementation of ROON READY that I have tried because it also controls volume... | |
| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) +1 on CODA and Krell integrateds I have had the CODA 07x premap with the KRELL 175XD and put them in my small room with my ancient KEF LS50;s and the new KEF KC62 sub. This is a killer combo. The 07x preamp’s XLR out into my sub (using a Cardas... | |
| Thiel Owners I moved my Thiel's to a larger room (from my smaller office)and I finally heard them stretch their wings. However, my Benchmark gear, which I want to use in this room, is better suited to 2 other speakers that I am now more interested in, the K... | |
| Best speakers for a small room I put Thiel CS3.7 floor stander into a 12 x 11 x 9 room. I needed to spend $700 to get acoustic treatments from GIK to make this work. I also needed to move reflective surfaces as far away from the speakers. I also do not have anything large in-be... | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES I listen to mostly TIDAL even though I have Qobuz. The TIDAL MY MIX feature is killer and for me both services sound good enough. BTW - Maybe this was figured out in the posts above. When I want to filter TIDAL or Qobuz in ROON I go to MY ALBUMS ... | |

| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @daci The Gustard X26 Pro is warmer and not as detailed as the 005. I really like the Gustard and only sold it to fund the 005 purchase. If you have some bright speakers, then the Gustard could be a better choice over the 005. |
