| Gold Note IS - 1000 integrated amp Glad to help in some small way. My relatively tiny NYC apartment is a challenge, but the system is working really well for me. I'm currently using the Studio Electric M4s and am, honestly, wanting for nothing with my system right now. Actually, of... | |
| Gold Note IS - 1000 integrated amp This is a good question and one without a simple answer. So much depends on synergy (speaker impedance, damping, room acoustics, volume levels, and just something as elusive as overall tone).If I were to calculate on the basis of the new MSRP of a... | |
| Gold Note IS - 1000 integrated amp P.S. Forgive me and do disregard my Dynaudio X34 recommendation; I have heard them in warmer systems (with warm amps - NAD M3, and NAD c390dd), but I think they might generally be a smidge lean of neutral left to their own devices.I have had home-... | |
| Gold Note IS - 1000 integrated amp Really pleased my experience with the amp contributes to your consideration. I've never had a Gold Note product before and have been truly impressed.It produces a very physical, thick wall-of-sound like presentation with a warm, tube-like inner gl... | |
| Gold Note IS - 1000 integrated amp I just acquired one. Most recent amps in my system have been Devialet 220 Expert Pro, LFD LE V+ with PS Audio DSD Dac, Exposure 3010S2D with PS Audio DSD DAC, Rogue M180 with Audio Alchemy DDP-1, and a few others at this generally $5-11k system pr... | |
| I took the plunge - PS Audio Stellar DAC and S300 @jdaun @goldprintaudio Thank you both so much for your perspectives on these amps; really wonderful to hear of their relative merits (which are not inconsiderable). Now having actually heard them in comparison, granted in different systems I know ... | |
| I took the plunge - PS Audio Stellar DAC and S300 Anyone compare the following Class D rr D-hybrid amps:PS Audio S300NAD M22Audio Alchemy DPA-1Rogue HydraCurious as to the relative merits/demerits of their various tube and solid state input stages as well as Hyped UCD vs Icepower ASC300 vs Ncore ... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless Internal vs External DAC ?? Hi-Fi News apparently found the same to be true, using the Chord 2QuteHD as an external DAC. It seems there is now consensus on this issue. | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless connection to Node 2? p.s. reasoning: let the kef's superior internal dac do the work and note that jitter is lowest via the node 2's coax out. | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless connection to Node 2? coaxial | |
| Audio Alchemy DDP 1, Nad M12 or....? I've had both. The Ddp-1 with PS-5 is a distinct step up in terms of dynamics, particularly attack, and a much more open treble. The NAD M51 is just a smidgen too creamy by comparison. Audio Alchemy preferred in every way. |
