| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! wcfeil, do you ever have anything useful to add to the conversation? Your posts are all whining or criticizing other people. If you have nothing to say, just stay off the threads and take your whining elsewhere. | |
| Using an ouboard DAC with SONY HAPZ1ES There was a discussion earlier about using outbound DACs for DSD/SACD playback and my understanding was you need some specific connectivity arrangements to make it work. Don't remember all the details but should be easy to dig out. | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl “To replicate this much with off the shelf gear, you’d have to spend the better part of $6,000.”You left something out...what is the CD player/DAC in comparison? | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Agreed. A $5,000 vinyl rig will sound better than a $500 CD player. Try a $5,000 CD player and report back. | |
| Still Audio EL84 Integrated Amplifier - my initial impressions I think what you need is a Pass XA30.5 or .8, depending on your budget. You’ll get the best of both worlds. Or keep the amp and consider 94+ dB speakers like Klipsch or Zu, etc. I’ve heard Klipsch Cornwalls with 8wpc SET amps and the bass was very... | |
| First DAC: Metrum-MHDT-Rega-or? Congratulations. I've narrowed my choices down to the MHDT Orchid and Border Patrol SE. Will probably pull the trigger in the next couple of weeks. Please let us know how you like it. | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K Small footprint means different thing to different people. Magnepans may (technically) have a "small" footprint per square inch but take up a lot of room and need a lot of room behind them to sound any good. Same with Vandersteens at least model 2... | |
| Power Cord Break In Interesting....None of our frigs has IEC connector. Maybe very new ones do. | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! "Correct, whether it’s what they sell, make or own, they push, it’s never with them what they don’t have an affiliation with."george, hmmm, interesting. You're the last person who should make this comment pushing your passive preamp at every occas... | |
| Buy 12ax7 tube For new production tubes, this is a good reference. In my preamp, the EH gold pins sounded much better overall than Mullards.https://www.tubedepot.com/tube-comparison-tool | |
| Budget Music Streamer Speaking of a budget system, I’m running a Chromecast Audio through a Schiit Modi Multibit in one of my systems and I think the sound quality is pretty decent. I recently added an ifi ipurifier in the loop and it smoothed out some of the rough edg... | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! "I think it might be time to consider seeking professional help."I'm afraid the window for that closed long time ago...RIP | |
| Do $2k speakers + DSP = $50k speakers? A similar question to ask is can adding DSP to an existing system/room make $2K speakers sound like $12K speakers, all else being equal? | |
| What preamp creates the largest soundstage? “...does anyone have experience with a preamp that produces a big soundstage?”I think most preamps in the $5K USD price range, especially if used, will throw a reasonably believable soundstage. Based on my experience having had a few different pre... | |
| Melody EL34 amp sudden drop in Volume and loud buzz. I had a similar symptom in my tube integrated but only one channel and it was diagnosed as a bad output transformer. In your case it could be the power transformer affecting both channels. |
