| Integrated amp recommendations for Harbeth 30.1 You made an excellent choice. Congrats!!! | |
| Great Small Room Speakers for $3-5k OP- I’ve owned Harbeth P3esr, M30.1, and KEF LS50. I now have Fritz Carrera BE in my second system and in my opinion it’s a better speaker than the aforementioned. I haven’t tried the LS50 Meta though. If you contact Fritz, he can send you a pair ... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Thank you fire sharing. This is very helpful. I think my modem is still the weak point in my digital chain. Is there any specific model you recommend? | |
| Topping P50 power supply, + Zen Streamer + Topping E50 DAC What kind of speakers do you have? This is really good stuff for a budget system and definitely punches above its price point. A good power supply makes a substantial difference. I use sonicTransporter i5 to run the Roon core server. Recently adde... | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? But I know in my heart that the Wilson speakers would be perfect in this room. If I want Wilsons I will buy them. then what’s the purpose of the OP? 🤔 | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I’m sure you’ll allow a few hours before making a comparison but will be interesting to hear your thoughts on the upgraded Perspectives when once you get them and run them in. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk From my experience, building a dac module as part of the amplifier is a tale of two cities. For example, I did not like the built-in dac in the Hegel amplifiers. Not that they were bad per se, but they could be bettered by even a $2k stand... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev I think it's silly for anyone to suggest that the dac in Gryphon is not worthy of a higher end streamer. The only reason this dac doesn't cost $10k is that the designer did not use a separate chassis and other parts. People forget that when ... | |
| Great Experience with Bliss Hifi I’ve never dealt directly with Bliss Hifi but have great respect for how he conducts himself on audiogon. It is obvious he cares about his customers and is a passionate audiophile. Hope to do business with him in the future. | |
| Willsenton R8 - how good? I have a Willsenton R8 in my second system. IMO, it offers excellent value for the asking price. For comparison, I have had the following amps in the second system: Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II, Raven Audio Blackhawk III, Rogers High Fidelity 65v2... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @jeffreyw congratulations!! Your electronics are what many would consider to be endgame. The Mac monoblocks are amazing and get so much for respect for a reason. You now have the foundation to move up to bigger and much more expensive speakers sho... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I will write on whichever forum I choose to! And for the record, I don’t have a problem with the Peachtree products at all. But, if a vendor is going to come here and start selling his or her services on a hobbyist forum, then, yes, I reserve the... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta If ever there was a cautionary tale of digging a hole deeper and deeper, this has be one of them. On the one hand, we have someone who has been designing, building, and selling original products which have stood the test of time. And then on the o... | |
| Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp Take a look at Audio Hungary a20i. Pure class A, compact and beautifully built. I had it’s big brother the a50i. Ron at New Record Day reviewed it about a year ago | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @yyzsantabarbara Congratulation on acquiring the Lumin X1! I have heard nothing but praise about the X1 and it certainly ranks as one of the best streamer/dac combos available at any price. By the way, I really appreciate that you're one of the f... |
