| Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i After a little more run time, I've settled on the Pathos being the more pleasing amplifier to my ear. My friend came over for a listen and he described the Krell as sounding like a great recording and the Pathos sounding like live music. We both... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? @tablejockey - I've still not used it waiting for some consensus for how to move forward...Actually, the amplifier is now in the care of a friend of mine as I've upgraded and currently have a Pathos Classic One MkIII and a Krell S-300i. The Yaqin... | |
| Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations I may have found the best solution to all audio equipment decisions. Focus on the music. I now have five CDs on the way so my focus is on the excitement of new music. | |
| System Dissatisfaction - My Own Fault I was just reading through this thread again and I'm in a somewhat similar situation again, but this time it's with the Pathos Classic One MkIII and the Krell S-300i. I could probably be happy with either and it's only because I have both that I ... | |
| How low is a piano? Here's some of the "why" for the extra notes:https://www.boesendorfer.com/en/pianos/pianos/Concert-Grand-290-Imperial | |
| Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations @mahler123 - I do have a number of SACDs and I won't be giving my my SACD player capability unless it goes kaput or I replaced it with another SACD capable player. I honestly have not heard much difference with SACD vs. Redbook vs. my Maverick Au... | |
| Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations @yyzsantabarbara - "low-ish cost" doesn't compute with four figures in my world though I recognize what a high end DAC can cost. I paid $1,600 or less used for both of my current amplifiers and felt guilty spending that much. | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? @jundaku - I think you're on the right track. It's hard to really get into the true audiophile level gear until later in life when you hopefully have more disposable income. I'm a 43 year old family man and over the last 15ish years have purchas... | |
| Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations @docknow - What makes the MultiBit so much better than the standard Modi? I don't know what the difference between a multibit and a delta-sigma DACs are. | |
| Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations loomisjohnson - Both appear to be viable options thought that the $400+ price I'd start trying to talk myself into PS Audio GainCell DAC. I recognize that it would be more than 3x the cost, but rather than spend $400+ I'd have to consider selling... | |
| Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations sfar - I think the Pro-Ject DAC Box S2 would be an item of interest for me. I don't have any need for the headphone amplifier, so could reduce the cost for what I would expect to be the same DAC. | |
| Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i mesch - I can only imagine the look on my wife's face if I told her that I wanted a second Pathos! I had to shoehorn the Krell in and there's simply not a reasonable configuration that would allow for another Pathos as fun as that sounds. | |
| Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i alexatpos - In the future I may be more interested in upgrading my sources, but as I mentioned in my first post my system is absolutely limited by setup and I can honestly say that I've heard very little difference, if any, among the various sourc... | |
| Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i alexatpos - By "helping" do you mean that the Focal 836v speakers making the Krell sound better than it should or they are not good enough to expose its faults?Either way, I have always loved the Focal sound and have heard everything from the smal... | |
| Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i douglas_schroeder - How exactly does it work to run two units? What do the connections from the sources and to the speakers look like? |
