| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @tobes The OP has a top class system, I doubt he wants to go from a DAC with ~22 bit resolution to one with ~10 bit resolution. Most of high end or even lower end DAC could process 24-32 bit rate up to 768 khz signal depending upon the input, A... | |
| Best audiophile earwax removal system? After you have the ears cleaned, how much percentage of improvement in imaging you have perceived before and after the installation of $10k cable I wonder? Please do the blind test. | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 @larsman The Op just decided to sell his Fritz 6 months after this written review. How about you? Did you keep the Fritz or the Harbeth? I will not be surprized if you choose to let Fritz go IF you adore/crave for the midrange more than every... | |
| Large room with low budget for speakers To some, 30k is low budget for a pair of loudspeakers. To me, 30k is 5 times of my total spending on two 2-channel systems. | |
| Why Do You Post? Dealer, dealer, dealer. Some of them tell you they are dealers. Some of them pretend they are not. They come in a group, supporting each other, trash talk/diss other objective opinions for a single purpose, i.e., promoting their products. In o... | |
| My endgame system I think The Rockport/Boulder were both highly praised by Stereophile but JA did point out the minor flaw below. I also noticed that, when listening to Pink Floyd Money (demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj1Zced6dEU&t=181s), bass notes introduced fr... | |
| My endgame system I think A very de minimis high performer system you have put together. You must go through tremendous time and effort to sort out and eventually end up with this particular combination in this price range you consider as the "endgame". It will be more i... | |
| Heard the Margo Timmons solo release? Margo Timmins. Great songs/recording. Thx. | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade Op, a decent DAC does not cost fortunate. Quarter of the money you spent on the used MF could get you a pretty decent DAC that preserves soundstage width / depth, tonal balance, weighted bass well like Schiit Modius. You could sell it on eBay i... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade I thought you bought it used so it might be the issue of broken in. Here is a slightly negative review where you might find a tread of hint. You might want to bypass the preamp section and try a good source feeding thru a good sounding DAC to MF... | |
| Potential Pair of Great Bookshelf Speakers for Sale! @treepmeyer Driving the Jade 3's with a Cambridge CXA-81. Better to keep the Jade's and move to a better amp or DAC? Just don't know. PM me if you decide to keep the Totems. Why when you have this? Is that because you do not like Sabre DAC... | |

| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and Op, let us know please the outcome of auditioning. Maybe I could use it as reference for my quest for scm bookshelf 😀 | |
| Suggestions for Bluetooth device to hook up iPhone to amp The codex in iphone is limited to AAC. AAC is a very processor-heavy codec since it uses psychoacoustic modeling to transmit data. Iphone typically weighs energy efficiency over performance and will encode AAC Bluetooth (BT) to a lower bit rate ... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and Since you have mentioned the high damping factor (DF) of your amp and the uncertainty on the 7’s bass performance, the combination of two might produce bass notes on the leaner side and sometimes might affect the midrange too. Remember 7’s freq. r... |
