| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? For great price / performance / sound have a look at Bellisimo Audio. https://www.facebook.com/BellissimoAudio/ | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? Agreed on R2R designs. My HoloSpring Audio Kitsune' level 3 makes even compressed mp3s sound excellent, and CDs and high res sound "analog" in all the good ways... | |
| Any Rhode Island Audiophiles? Hey alhidell, looks like no responses?I'm in Norton MA (just north of RI) if that counts. Would love to talk audio and show off my sound systems if you are interested!peter@galvin.info | |
| Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio? Seconding the Holo Spring Kitsune Level 3. It's quite amazing, with highly compressed through hires music all sounding great. I think the second most important component in my system (after the speakers - Goldenear Triton Ones).Unfortunately it's ... | |
| How would you introduce tubes into this SS system? How about a Rogue Audio Sphinx integrated tube + SS?Fully supported etc, and can be found used.Have an audiophile friend driving his Maggies with one of these. He's tried more expensive gear but likes the Sphinx better!http://www.rogueaudio.com/Pr... | |
| The big DAC decision It's possible the Kitsune version of the HoloSpring would sound as good as the $23K DAC and save you $20K.Loving mine, best DAC that I've heard. Check out the reviews at the bottom of the product page...https://kitsunehifi.com/product/springdacgreen/ | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! Can't say enough about how good I find the GoldenEar Triton Reference speakers.Hopefully you could try them in your house if you are interested (borrow overnight from a friendly dealer). And you'd have $7K of your budget left over... | |
| speakers with balls Another vote for Goldenear. The built in powered woofers on some models are very well integrated sonically and offload your amp to spend its energy on the mids and the high-tech tweeter. | |
| Picking a Tube integrated amp Another vote for Rogue. | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Another vote for Clear day. Double shotgun.Fantastic. | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G Really enjoy my RP8, but haven't listened to other similar-priced turntables to compare it to. | |
| Which integrated amp? The best price/performance I've heard is the Rogue Audio Sphinx. | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 I tried 2 others but settled on the Moon 310LP Neo. Really like it with my Rega RP8. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Very unscientific, but I thought the sound improved with improved fuses in my gear in my environment (Synergistic). I did blind A/B testing with a friend and (unknown to him at the time) he preferred the Synergistic over the stock fuses. I put th... | |
| Best option for Amp upgrade... I like Rogue Audio gear for great price / performance. |
