| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Ok First of all I have heard 100k amps, 50k amps and 40 k amps as well as stuff 300 to 16k. The best sounding gear I HAVE EVER HEARD was Pilium…you never heard of Pilium because you have not been to enough places. Audionet is also good as well a... | |
| Wilson tiny tots First of all Wilson Tune Tots require more power than you think…you will need a good amp and a good DAC. Most amps with a DAC built in is trash with the exception of a Mola Mola integrated amp that has a Tambaqui DAC and that is about 24k. You ne... | |
| First Streamer... Your rega DAC is junky use a streamer with a built in DAC since you spent nothing on your other homemade speakers save up $7899 get an Auralic Vega G2.1. Hire an electrician pay him to hook up ethernet there to your router through the walls. ... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 All aqua dacs sounded horrible horrible! Mytek stuff is too bright and not a good time either. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Ok I heard the Holo May it’s the most over rated Chinese box I ever encountered. It’s should be half the price for the way it rolls off treble and bass is not as strong as other higher level DAC’s I heard. Try a Lampizator Baltic 3 in this price r... | |
| Aurender N200 N200 is better sounding than older N10 and N100. The N20 is really not much better the W20SE is fantastic though. The best streamer is a Taico Extreme. Full stop. | |
| NEED TO REPLACE OLD FAITHFUL- WHICH AMP. SHOUD I CHOOSE All of those amps you listed are middle of the road. Look into a 30 grand Pilium integrated since I don’t trust whatever preamp you are hooking it up to either since audio research is entry level hifi and the later preamps I heard sounded like kin... | |
| Best budget USB Get a silver dragon cable spend 300 bucks form moon audio. Spend a few bucks don’t be cheap. | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? So no for Audioquest…They use the least amount of copper I mean we are talking. 13 gauge stuff. It’s very expensive for the little amount of material they give you. My favorite affordable power cable is $550 Shunyata Venom V10. audioquest is like... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? Power cables need capacitance…Long ones have more. you can even measure that! shunyata ideal length is 1.75M. voodoo 2meters wireworld 3 M you see they all vary | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? YG Acoustics | |
| Weak Link in chain as I upgrade from mid-fi? At your level you need to sell it all…not upgrade this or that. You will need a real DAC like a Lampizator or Esoteric or MSB. Then save up 20-50k for speakers. I would hear a pair of YG acoustics Carmel 2 or go up to a Magico A5. Your amp will... | |
| Opinions before purchasing Or get something used…Or better yet try a DIY speaker from GR research and you will get something that is hi fi and cut out the dealer and distributor. | |
| Opinions before purchasing 1000-1500 dollars? For speakers? at that price point please save your money until you have a few thousand. | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? Ok the Bluesound is a decent digital transport as long as you use an external DAC. I recommend an “analog” sounding Lampizator Baltic 3 for that. You should also look into the Auralic Ares G1 or G2.1 streamer. Those old transparent cables are suc... |
