| Single REL T/9x vs S/510 in Small Room @ryder Awesome choice!!! Last year I had a single T9i in my main system and wanted to add another T9i. I bought a used one and it was amazing. I then got a great deal on an S/510 and let me tell you even a single 510 blew the T9i pair out of the w... | |
| Luxman vs Hegal @michobr59 Sorry I'm a little late to the party but I thought I'd share my experience with you. About 3-4 years ago, I started replacing my components and went out and auditioned a whole bunch of integrated amps and speakers. I finally settled on ... | |
| The review wehave been promising is up I like point #6 the best, because that’s exactly how I feel after reading a TAS review. | |
| From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion Just curious, but why are you giving up the flexibility of separate dac and streamer? | |
| Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix) I agree — Sense 2.0 is a real game changer. It’s easily twice as good as Roon. Another tweak that I tried with my Zenith MK3 is the SR Purple fuse. Initially, I was skeptical since I had never replaced any fuse in my other equipment. But a fellow ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jjss49 i was really hoping you would pick one up for review. While I have a lot of respect for other posters in this particular thread, I value your opinion even more highly. You’ve gone through a ton of dacs and don’t suffer from the usual fanbo... | |
| Holo MAY KTE DAC/ Kitsune Hi FI, Lynnwood Washington If you’re worried about servicing, take a look at the Denafrips Terminator 2 or Terminator Plus. They have authorized service centers in the US and the distributor , Vinshine Audio, is based in Singapore. The performance is quite similar as they’r... | |
| The sound comparison between LUXMAN DA-200 D/A and LUXMAN DA-250 D/A convertors @ryder I compared quite a few — Qutest, Cambridge audio, audio mirror tubadour iii, T+a dac8, topping d90, RME ADI-2 and Schiit gungnir. I also compared to the built-in dacs in ARC GSi75, Innuos Zen Mini, Bluesound Node 2i, and Naim Unitiqute. I p... | |
| Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube? Every time he gets new gear he swears it’s the best thing since sliced bread. He is so sure that he would be buried with it .,, and then he moves on to the next endgame, ‘for the rest of my life’ equipment within a few months. That being said, h... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy I have to say that @ghdprentice ’s advice was misunderstood. I have never seen him look down on anyone’s equipment. If you can get past the perceived insult (which I’m sure was not his intention), his main point is valid. I have seen many seasoned... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 @whitestix Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I could never warm up to the Devore sound. I auditioned the O/96's extensively at a local dealer several times. Despite having a huge wall of sound, I just didn't find the kind of heft, presence, timber,... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 @jjss49 Harbeth 40.x are most likely going to be my endgame speakers. I've only heard them twice but they left a lasting impression on me. It's everything I love about Harbeth but several orders of magnitude better than other models in the lineup. | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno I'm assuming you're interested in bookshelves ... in this case, please check out Fritz Carrera BE speakers. They are phenomenal for all genres but especially excel at rock and techno. You'd be surprised the amount of taut bass these speakers can p... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 This also shows that the Carrerra BE's can easily be driven by low wattage amps and not lose most of their magic. If anyone wants to experiment with low-wattage or SET amps, these speakers will not disappoint. I can't believe the amount of tight a... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 I finally decided that the Fritz speakers are just too good not to keep. I know it’s not a big name brand like Harbeth or other speakers, but after trying a number of bookshelf speakers over the last 5-7 years, the value the Carrera BEs provide is... |
