| Schiit Audio I cannot speak to the Loki, but I do have the Mani which blew away EVERYTHING in its price class, and even some in more expensive units. I would feel confident with their warranty and that the company is not sleazy like some dealers/manufacturers... | |
| B.S. Node 2i brick (yet another one) I had node 2i no problems. The DAC was lamo, but good value for the money. NAD must not advertise with Audiogon or this thread would have been deleted. | |
| New PrimaLuna versus used Audio Research preamp? I have never owned a PL, but have heard them, I think I would go with a Rogue before I did a PL. I had an LS-27, loved it, but upgraded to REF 6. With SS amplifiers, it has tight bass, soundstage, and clarity. I do not see a need to upgrade aga... | |
| Quest for an external Dac has resulted in me way down the rabbit hole You may want to go to Crescendo Fine Audio. Among others, they have the Chord Qutest. I really liked it when they let me audition it at home. I have a PS Audio Direct Stream and the Chord was almost there. My son has the iFi and it sounds real... | |
| Looks like PS Audio has a hit on their hands with the new speaker I really like PS Audio, their group is very very helpful. I have a piece of their equipment and I think the support is superior. I wanted to go hear these, but they said I could not come because of "covid", which makes me nervous - you could sti... | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) If you like the Martin Logan Motion series, I don't think you would be happy with Dynaudio (I had the special 40 and returned them) or Focal. If you got Motion 40 or 60xti (or their bookshelves) and put lots of power on them they sound great. Yo... | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? I have Wilson's for two-channel and Klipsch for Home Theater. I had the K-Horns and felt that they were super harsh (could have been the volumes we played them at too). I got the Chorus II's, love em. They are still fun to listen to. I heard A... | |
| Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please- Bob Dylan - Here Comes Santa | |
| What song have you played the most? Dire Straits - Where do you think you're going. | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 vs 6SE I have the Ref 6, and have heard the Ref 6SE at the dealer - now I did not do a true A/B, but I can’t say as I can hear any difference. The Ref 6E did use that cheesy plastic remote (thanks McIntosh group). The 6 has a nice aluminum remote - and w... | |
| RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . . There are pimps and shills on Audiogon, and if you do not like a particular piece of equipment or a particular company, then you may get attacked because we are talking about their livelihood. Really has nothing to do with opinions or discussion ... | |
| Parasound Preamp I had that amp for 4 weeks - then sold at a big loss. Awful phono pre, some of the knobs are very small - if you have big hands. It will sound better that a marantz or demon. Be warned that the warranty is not transferable - always a big red fl... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson I have Sasha’s driven by Rowland - bliss. | |
| WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST? If you see her say hello - DylanHeaven - Talking HeadsJealous Guy - Roxy MusicMiracle - Willy DeVille | |
| Best sub for music, I have had 4 different subs - and tried about 4 others that were "reviewed" as being the best. Settled on a Rythmik - love it. Unfortunately, they are not sold through a dealer network, so the support is not there like a good dealer would offer.... |
