| Religious music for less than devout Yeah, I spent lots of my disposable income on Christian rock and pop in the 80’s and the first half of the 90’s, before the music industry had its shake up. That music helped me stay centered on the big picture, I guess you’d say.Special mention t... | |
| Schiit Freya+(Plus) I'm a Freya+(no need to add the word "Plus" after Freya+) owner, and I've had it for several months now. I've tried it with 3 different amps and 5 different pairs of speakers, plus 3 different sets of speaker cables and some interconnect changes.... | |
| Beginning of a new journey... I wasn't suggesting the Vali 2 for the Ananda phones. I was suggesting the Asgard, but the Jotunheim should be even better. | |
| Beginning of a new journey... Soix, I guess you didn't read the thread? My post from April 23 mentions that I sold the Vali 2 when I upgraded to the Asgard 3. I put 50 hours on the Vali 2 when I first received it to burn it in. I found it very much the better option over th... | |
| Best Amp With Some Warmth and Midrange Magic To Pair With The RAAL Requsite SR1a's? I'll add my "+1" to the Schiit Audio Jotunheim R headphone amp. It was released a few months ago, and was an amp specifically designed for the RAAL Requisite SR1a headphones. You don't need a separate speaker amplifier. The Jotunheim R will put ... | |
| Beginning of a new journey... Nice to hear that the Anandas are a gem, if any cans achieve holographic sound, they’re keepers for sure!And yes, the Vali 2 is something else! Here’s a brand that I’ve purchased and been happy with, ixcc, good price and quality connectors.https:... | |
| Beginning of a new journey... Two nights ago, I was listening to some old headphones with a new set up. An old track came on, and the first couple of notes, then I what sounded like furniture creaking behind me, which was impossible. I restarted the song, and heard it again. S... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Actually, some(not all) owner comments can be just as bad as some non owner comments. The bliss of new ownership coupled with inexperience and a desire to share online. Overly positive or gushing reviews, and a complete lack of understanding wha... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts It looks like Tekton is very busy, and unfortunately sometimes emails can get missed. It’s not ideal, but the added cost to each speaker sold when a full office staff is hired to answer hundreds of emails and phone calls, as well as folks that fra... | |
| Bookshelf speaker for an apartment This thread went about as they usually do, many suggestions which all offer very different sounding results. Which sound will the OP like? Hard to say, but a few things should be kept in mind;With a 1K budget, some really great sounding options ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 213, I don’t believe anyone would have issue if less than positive was posted bout Tektons by someone who has actually spent time listening to them, and were not happy or found issue with what they heard. To speak negatively about them based on wh... | |
| For efficient speakers, how much difference does an amp really make? The gain structure of the current model Adcom amps are all below 30 db, I believe. The 565SE's gain is 27 db. When I was checking out the input sensitivity of this amp, I noticed what appeared to be an error as the Adcom spec page lists it at 12... | |
| For efficient speakers, how much difference does an amp really make? Dtrandal, I concur with those that suggest that those speakers are the limiting factor. You are only going to get so much bass out of such small drivers. That said, I’ve owned a few Adcom amps, and they really do have great bass with decent detail... | |
| Suggestions for good cheap Equalizer Yup; good, cheap and fast. Pick any two because you can't get all three. I found that getting rid of stranded copper cables reduced the harsh or bright artifacts in the highs with my solid state set up. Cleaner, more focus without harshness. B... | |
| Best speaker cables for under 500$ (Euros) I'm not familiar with the European marketplace, or what brands are readily available there. My knowledge is limited to the North American market, but I'm sure at least some of these brands are available in Europe.I'll echo the British(?) brand re... |
