| What are the sexiest components ever made? I don't think the term "sexiest" is very good in this case but the combination of best looking and most spectacular looking components are for me mostly turntables. There are a lot of them.Except TTs I also like the Sonus Faber speakers, some Avan... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? I just assumed it was sarcasm and a play on the earlier thread https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/should-people-with-no-turntable-or-reel-to-reel-be-considered-audiophil But you did manage to get a lot of responses.Regarding the sokogear thr... | |
| Really need some help finding a full range speaker If looks are very important then Totem has some nice models. I liked their older models but have only heard the new a few times at audio shows and don't really know what I think about the sound. But they are very small and looks easy to place in a... | |
| Integrated Amp $1200 or less I was earlier thinking about buying a Hegel but went another route but it could be nice brand for you to look at.There is a Hegel H120 on Audiogon right now for about $2250 which is more than your budget but it includes a dac and a streamer which ... | |
| All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only I have heard the Bryston B135 which was very good and could be had with a dac and I think a streamer also. | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present Boenicke is actually the opposite of sterile, go and listen to them if you can. Or read a few reviews. Good luck anyway! | |
| Diminishing Returns I remember that one of Audio Solutions Figaro models impressed me a lot at an audio show. They cost $5000 but sounded very good. TAS just tested a pricier model and also commented that they are a very good value for money. | |

| Are integrated amps technically better than separates? I don't remember where I read it but some amp designers actually think that the best thing is to have an integrated amp with a separate power supply. That is a two box solution but with different separation of what goes in which box. Another solut... | |
| DSD DAC/Headphone amp for iPhone? Forgot to say that if you can spend more money the Chord Mojo (maybe with the Poly) often gets good reviews. https://chordelectronics.co.uk/news/mojo-a-product-of-the-decade-says-darko-audio/ Their new 2go and Hugo2 is according to John Darko ev... | |
| DSD DAC/Headphone amp for iPhone? I also have Beyer Amiron headphones but use Android. It should work with most portable usb dac's even with iPhone. I use an Audioquest Dragonfly Black and an iFi Nano. iFi has some new models like the Hip-Dac that looks interesting but if I would ... | |
| Another streaming newbie Congrats on the Yggi! I have a cheaper dac and still I don't think the sound is nearly as good with my phone as a streamer as it is with a computer. You might want to order an Allo or something else pretty quickly.You had an earlier question about... | |
| Wilson Audio for a 1600 sq ft space Not sure how they play in such a large room but the sound of the smäller ones in a normal room was very good. And the design is special, your guests will notice them. Bayz Audio https://youtu.be/pFOPegWuWE0 | |
| Another streaming newbie If you like to tinker with things one of the cheapest ways is to build a Raspberry Pi based solution yourself. I have done this and it works great for me. I use an external dac but you can also build a dac into the computer. With everything built-... | |
| Another streaming newbie The Orchard looks like it would fit you perfectly. https://orchardaudio.com/pecanpi-streamer Or buy Volumio Primo and add a dac of your choice to get even better sound. https://volumio.org/product/volumio-primo/ https://www.youtube.com/watc... |
