| Sorry redundant Best DAC under 600. Schiit Multibit Bifrost is the only choice!$599 | |
| I like Steve Guttenberg. He is a 70's type guy and a haircut to match.I would not trust a bald or crewcut sort of guy on audio opinion! | |
| Full-Range to Monitors I have never heard a system that was digitally EQ'd that did not sound unnatural.If you find low bass room effects hard to deal with do not use subwoofers.Reproducing lower than 30 Hz will just lead to frustration in all but the biggest rooms.The ... | |
| Speaker Cable Upgrade... Advice Please Golden Cross is a nice step up.I have used many Cardas speakers cables, and found Golden Cross the best.Mates well with Audio Research amps. Smooth highs (never bright), warm midrange, and deep bass. | |
| My first visit to AXPONA Most all "uber" expensive audio systems at shows, never held up to my $50K system at home.These systems are sold to very rich, delusional, people that want "snob appeal" to their friends.I quit going to shows the last few years. | |
| Schiit not that Good? Shows are worth very little for judging playback quality of one component in a demo system! And what that component will sound like in your own system!There are hundreds of user reviews on the web that love Shiit D/A converters. | |
| Are there any Delphi Oracle Users Who Can Comment I owned a Delphi MKIII with SME IV arm for years back in the 80's early 90's.Smooth midrange was the only plus.Soft bass and poor match with most cartridges.Went to a VPI TNT III with JMW-10 and never looked back, which ran all over the Delphi. | |
| Does anyone have any experience with Bryston amps All Bryston amps sound cold and sterile to me.Magnepan demos with Bryston, but they aim marketing at cheapskates.Magnepan's sound much better with ARC and Pass Labs IMO. | |
| Pass Labs Power amps choices The Pass Labs point 8 series draws 50% more AC power than the point 5 series, and runs hotter if that matters to you. | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... I have heard and owned several tube, hybrid, and ss preamps and amps over the last 40 years.I found my pass labs x1 with pass labs xa30.5, xa 60.5, or son of ampzilla 2000 is clearer, dead quiet, and more life like than anything previously.. | |
| When you suddenly realize.... Tried to stump the search engine by entering “The Fugs”.All their albums showed up!Very “deep” music collection. | |
| Diana Krall I do not mind DK but prefer the following Jazz singers:Ann Hampton Callaway Blues in the Night, To Ella with love, From sassy to devine: The Sara Vaughan ProjectCheryl Bentyne Talk of the townKarrin AllysonIn Blue, Round MidnightHolly ColeTemptat... | |
| What is your listening chair? Natuzzi Leather loveseat from early 90's.Very comfortable and classy.I have a "two seat" sweet spot. | |
| Power regenerators X Power Conditioners I have used a PurePower 1050 AC regenerator from years back with great results, however dealing with the Canadian Company has issues.Now I use Chang LightSpeed AC line filters that work just as good, and are cheaper, but hard to find.Both did not ... | |
| ARC Solid State Monoblock Options If you like the D240 MK II you may want to track down a used D400 MK II or D300.More power, better sound.I would avoid the DS series.I used to own the D240 MkII and liked it |
