| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? While not quite night and day, the upgrade of my Gungnir to Multibit was an immediate and noticeable improvement. | |
| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real I would be interesting if someone bought a new pair of monoblock amps and burned in one amp and then compared the two. I bet the sound difference would be very audible between the two amps.THAT would be an interesting experiment! | |
| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real Just to wrap this one up, after a month or so of continuous play I have to say the Coda 8 is a spectacular amp. I still feel strongly that there was a break-in period, not just a case of warming it up for few days. I can now shut off my equipment ... | |
| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real You, and everyone who thinks they hear equipment breaking in, need to read my articles about this topic at Dagogo.com;Audiophile Law: Thou Shalt Not Overemphasize Burn Inand Audiophile Law: Burn In Text Redux The community needs to gain some... | |
| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real it was so different, sometimes, weak midrange, sometime in your face midrange, treble sometimes, super bright, other times relaxed and warm, Same with the bass, deep, not deep, tight, muddled, Thanks for your post, I am experiencing some of ... | |
| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real Solid state can take days to stabilize and should always be left on. Just leave it on for a week or two, then turn it off one night, you will see. That is my next test. I have been assuming that I am witnessing break-in and not just the need to... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" Great question and good discussion. I have a Freya + preamp that allows me to choose between solid state and tube front end. The difference is very clear between the two with a good soundstage left to right for both modes, but the tubes add depth.... | |
| Power Conditioning: Transparent PowerBank 6 vs Emotiva CMX-6 I have the CMX-6 and can attest that it is well built and delivers power. I bought it as part of a series of power system upgrades including a dedicated 10 ga. line, Hubbell outlet and HiFi fuse for my amp. Not interested in testing each independe... | |
| How much difference in Sound quality can be expected from different streamers? jjss49 The sonos connect units used as streamer are known to be jittery and add a hash to the sound that is why the wyred4sound mods to the sonos streamer has been so successful over the years, and led to the mod becoming 'productized' in the ... | |
| How much difference in Sound quality can be expected from different streamers? I have the same question as my streaming is a weak point in my system. I have used a Sonos Connect with an external DAC (Gumby) for years, probably considered an average streamer. As a cheap means to explore how a streamer might affect the sound I... | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! For that price, get the best integrated you can afford and pair it with a Pi Streamer or Pi Streamer/DAC if the integrated does not have a DAC. If you want a bit of tube-ishness consider something with a tube preamplifier. Ditch the Bluetooth. Con... | |
| Gripped By Upgrade Fever I agree with the comments on adding a sub to what you have now. I have been running LS50's for the last 4-5 years and have them paired with a REL 7i sub and it completes the picture for my small listening room. If tuned well, it will blend perfect... | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. @zlone What is providing volume for the CODA #8? Freya+ with Tungsols | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. Coda 8 power amplifier. Upgrading from an NAD 375BEE, driving LS50's. |
