| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget @cookiecurls - I recommend checking out the Buchardt line of speakers. They are Danish and sell direct to the consumer. I own the Buchardt S400 Mkii and use them in my office which is pretty small. They recommend at least 50 watts to drive them. ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @zmann007 - Let us know when the lotus flower unfolds! | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 - Thanks for your thoughtful reply. The audiophile bug or malady, depending on the day or if my wife is in included in the sample respondents, draws me in with the persistent quest for that elusive auditory nirvana state. The Lampizator’... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @zmann007 - Let me how things go with the comparison between the Merason and the Mojo Dac. And congrats on your purchase of the Mojo Dac! | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 - Thanks again for your thoughtful reviews. As mentioned earlier in the thread, I found myself looking forward to each installment! While I’m very happy with my Merason Dac1 MKii for the moment, I’m intrigued by the Mojo dacs based on you... | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 @gryphongryph - Correction. I guess it’s the LS59/f model I was intrigued by. They were actually announced 5 years ago. 😁 | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 @gryphongryph - Thanks for the reply on the Graham speakers! Although I already have three pairs, I’m super curious about the new Graham LS8/f (I think that is the model). They are floor standing speakers. I think they’ve just come out very recent... | |
| Puritan PSM156 @jriggy - I'm very intrigued by your experience: "The full and rich tonal changes and realism from going from the Ultimate PC to a ZenWave PCR14 (actually PCR 11) was amazing. Stage size grew bigger, too." Would you be so kind to elaborate on ... | |
| Accuphase class A amps - going up the food chain from an A-48 to an A-80 or A-300? @ckr1969 - My ire was directed at the old distributor who I understood was steadfast in their pricing. Is there a new distributor? That is good news! | |
| Accuphase class A amps - going up the food chain from an A-48 to an A-80 or A-300? Accuphase’s USA distributor is a disservice to Accuphase. The jacked up mark up is ridiculous. He’s a pirate. | |
| Streamer for LTA Aero @phaelon - Innuos Zenith III owner here. Very happy with it. I thought I’d burn more CDs to the hard drive, but streaming with Qubuz is so good, my motivation to do so has dwindled. I’ve read that the Innuos Sense software sounds better than Roo... | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay @brylandgoodman - I recommend looking at the Merason Dac1 Mki. You might be able to find a used unit at roughly that budget. @mitch2 - Recently completed a review of six dacs where he reviewed the Merason Dac1 mkii, which has the same - but improv... | |
| Lampizator Review @jasonbourne71 - It’s all relative. Those prices are pocket change for some people. I would imagine they sound absolutely fantastic, yet would require specialized rooms with state-of-the-art treatment. Definitely not in my means, that is for sure! | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 @ullogu1 - Excellent! Glad you watched that Pursuit of Perfect Systems video. His description of the Gryphon is very accurate, based on my personal experience. The voicing of the amp seems to favor speakers with a hot treble. I’m thinking they pai... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 - Thanks for your work on these reviews. I sound myself eagerly waiting the next review like a favorite installment of a radio or tv program. I’m intrigued by the Mojo dacs now! |
