Give Up on Bacch? I went in the room when Edgar was demonstrating. I never did the demo as there were a few waiting. Little different with the camera following your head movements. People that have it love it so maybe ask for more time if you have it already. Th... | |
Aurender is finally Roon Ready?! Heard the N30 SA at Axpona w/ Doshi electronics and Joseph Audio new Flagship speakers. Sounded fantastic. | |
15k for streamer and dac....how much on each? I believe the Lumin feeds DSD to the DAC 200. I just got the T+A Dac 200 also. Sounds great on red book. Feeding it DSD files off the Melco Na H60 Ex is a step up. The Melco doesn’t convert native red book to DSD so would love to hear the Lumin ta... | |
15k for streamer and dac....how much on each? OP not sure what the rest of your system is but for 17,500 retail the Grimm MU2 is gaining a lot of traction. Usually in a streamer/dac combo the streaming portion is the weak link. Grimm is known for their streamer (Mu1) and have added a world cl... | |
Help with XLR ICs. Iconoclast UPOCC Gen 2. They are the high end division of Belden .They will send you the cables to try . If you do not like them they will pay for return shipping also. You have zero dollars out of your pocket to try. Fantastic cable and company t... | |
Shopping for a DAC at AXPONA Congrats on your retirement. You certainly deserve to treat yourself. Maybe look at the Grimm MU 2. Getting a lot of chatter as the best sounding Streamer/server/dac/pre in the 15-25 k range. Lists at 17500. Going to see a lot of them at Axpona s... | |
Coda Csib V1 Integrated amp My CSIB does a nice job with the Persona 5f's. I just moved to a T + A Dac 200 and the Coda shines even brighter. V1 also and 150 watts fill my 27x17x10 room with plenty to spare. Unless you are filling a ballroom or really, really tough speakers... | |
Quite a few Bricasti M21 DACs for sale cheap The Grimm Mu2 is getting a lot of chatter. You may see some Bricasti owners going that way. | |
Best monoblock amps for $2000 used Yepper on Odyssey. I sold my top of the line Kismet monos a year ago and still kicking myself in the ass. Try to score a pair in the Stratos cases. You can do more upgrades than in the Khartago cases. As good as they are re-sale is very affordable... | |
Suggested Power Cable for Streamer Glad to hear you are ditching the classic cable that comes with the Puritan. It is average at the very best . You are going to get a serious upgrade with any kind of good quality 20amp PC. The Ultimate PC is just as good as the classic is bad. | |
Borresen Loudspeakers @cheche9 sweet system. Tube and solid state. Congrats again. It takes a long time to put together a system that synergizes no matter how good the equipment is. Now to find some new music to listen to!! | |
Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions 😁 Just ordered 2 Purons to go along with the HF 0.5 that I already have. Did not notice a huge uptick with the 0.5 but I have all new dedicated circuits with dual ground rod etc. Wasnt hurting so I just kept them anyways. Hoping for a little more fr... | |
Help me pick some new or used speaker cables Townshend Fractal F1. They will work with you on price. Fantastic cable and a big step up from the Cardas and and incremental improvement from the Silversmith. The Fideliums are definitely the best bang for the buck in speaker cables | |
AGD Tempo in the house Please let me clear this up. I bought 2 Tempo’s from Mike with a 30 day trial in Nov of 2022. I ran them bridged They sounded good but did not have the grunt and stage as Odyssey Kismet reference monos so I sent them back to Mike within two wee... | |
Borresen Loudspeakers Congrats, what’s the rest of your setup? Room? |
