| AXPONA 2024 I was there Saturday and wasn’t able to see all I wanted but am glad i went. The Estelon/Vitus was quite good - wish I had spent more time there. The Auralic ESD horns I thought sounded “cupped” - typical horn colorations which surprised me. Not... | |
| Axpona 2024 who is going and why? I was there Saturday - my 2nd time attending. Good fun but as most note - very difficult to hear something, much less properly in a well set up room. And, not much time as I was trying to see/hear a fair amount. So, take with a grain of salt or tw... | |
| T+A PA 3100 HV owners question I’m guessing I’m not going to be much help, but you do have me wondering. I have the PA3100 HV, but upgraded all my cables - and my distributor to Nordost at one time after auditioning things piecemeal. But I never tried the upgraded cable on just... | |
| 15k for streamer and dac....how much on each? @oldracer I too have the DAC200. Have you tried giving it DSD files? I’m not sure if the Lumin has the capability of file conversion or if you have a computer you could put HQplayer on to then give to the Lumin. But, the DAC200 sounds even bette... | |
| 15k for streamer and dac....how much on each? It’s always fascinating to read through these threads. A number of posters have stated it’s a waste to spend money on a streamer. I’d be curious as to how many better quality streamers they’ve actually tried in their own system. To some of us,... | |
| 15k for streamer and dac....how much on each? There are certainly no absolutes though @ricred1 details an experience closer to my own. Every DAC has a favored input type and file type. Use the wrong one and streamers may sound the same. Use the right one and you might enjoy the appreciable ... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @cundare2 If you ultimately decide upon purchasing the T+A unit, I suggest you connect with Juan @blisshifi. I purchased my DAC200 from him and had a particularly good experience. He’s not pushy, and is pretty thoughtful about helping a customer... | |
| Audiophile Comedy 😂 thanks for sharing! | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @cundare2 no experience to share as I never needed it. Best, | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @cundare2 My apologies for the tardy response. You asked what speakers I was driving with my original R2000. Those were KEF Reference 3s. I now have Sonus Faber Serafinos. The KEFs are good speakers and benefited from a fair amount of power. My ... | |
| Sharing my experience with cables @lucmichaud1 I’ve enjoyed reading this thread of your journey. I had a somewhat similar path, starting as a complete skeptic (because i hadn’t heard the differences in initial experimentation) to now having a significant investment in every cabl... | |
| Where was the best reproduced sound you ever heard? MBL extremes Mk II at Kyomi audio near Chicago. Out of my reach, but if I had room and could get comfortable with the looks, I’d own 101s. As I don’t have a dedicated room, I have to live with them and the bling of MBLs is too much for me and the ... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp I wish I had direct experience for you, but I do have some relevant experience to share. I used to own their R2000 integrated amp, now upgraded to the PA3100 HV integrated, and currently own their DAC200. So, I have experience with the brand qual... | |
| Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable @audphile1 +1 | |
| Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable @classicrockfan of course you’re right that because I don’t personally own the analyzer, the published results of companies like Shunyata and others are invalid. No, I don’t know how to do it, but it appears other companies do and it’s my unde... |
