PS Audio vs NAD M12 razorbraun, the NAD M12 looks nice, but the sound is prolly mid-fi at best. My advice is don't waste your money, | |
PS Audio vs NAD M12 Another thing about the NAD M12 that's a huge red flag IMHO is that there's no information about which D/A chip is used. The NAD website doesn't mention it, and none of the reviews mention it. It's a pig in a poke AFAIK. | |
PS Audio vs NAD M12 I’d go with the PS Audio DirectStream DAC. The designer, Ted Smith, is a genius. Moreover, PS Audio provides exemplary customer service, and Paul McGowan, the sole proprietor AFAIK, is a true mensch, a real good guy!On the other hand, NAD is an in... | |
300B Warmup versus other tube or SS amps? I turn my tube gear on ten minutes before listening. Solid state you can leave on all the time. | |
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? "Music is supposed to be a fun distraction, not a beat down for what one person likes/dislikes." That is so true! | |
Amplifiers for KEF Blades with Cary SLP-05 premap. The Art Audio Jota HC with 300 BXLS tube will produce 24 wpc, which is plenty of SET power for your Blades. I went the website for Art Audio USA, and it looks like the Jota may have been discontinued. If so, I'd look for a used Jota HC. | |
Daily Audiophile Yes, that is a convenient sight. | |
I am sure this has been discussed but want a fresh take. Mapleshade / Timbernation racks? I like the Salamander Archetype, but I wish that Salamander still made the twin platform (double-wide) Archetype shelf.Personally, I don’t pay much attention to vibration control except with a turntable and loudspeakers. You don’t want your turnta... | |
The sounds reproduced by KEF Blades are amazing! with Merrill Audio! KEF makes good products. | |
Why people says SE is better PP Single-ended sounds better IMHO, but requires sensitive loudspeakers. One power tube handles the entire wave form. | |
Art Audio Owners Group Hi: I would join your Art Audio owners group, but I don't use facebook, or any form of social media. I own a pair of Jota HC monoblocks, and a Jota HC two-channel amplifier, as well. Good luck and best wishes, Jay. | |
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? This guy likes the Klipsch Heresy.http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/klipsch-heresy-iii-speaker-review-im-floored-and-here-is-why/ | |
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? gawdbless, I heard the latest Forte speakers, and thought they were awful muddy. I heard a vintage pair of corner horns that were nice. The audiophiles that I know wouldn't own any of the current Klipsch line-up. But YMMV. | |
JBL - almost nothing for sale, why? Just so you know: JBL isn’t JBL. The brand is now owned by a fly-by-night outfit called Harmon International owned by Samsung. Fly-by-night describes the customer service philosophy of Harmon International. | |
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? Klipsch is lo-fi these days. The old man made some good stuff once upon a time. |
