| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money Lordcloud, you mentioned some excellent DACs but, at a much higher price point. I heard the original Aqua Formula and I think the Terminator was very close. I'm sure the updated Formula xHD surpassed the older one but it is $17,000 now.I'm sure yo... | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money lordcloud, I have the a Terminator and CDT2-mk.2 transport using the I2s connections and the pairing is excellent.I like it much better then my PS Audio Memory player and Directstream DAC combo.The Terminator is open, has great prat, and dynamic w... | |
| Skala or Kleos? I had Dynavector XX2mkII and now use a Kleos SL, which I think is a big step up, IMS. | |
| Down side of speaker swop from AZ to Tonian Labs ? Wig,How much you want to spend? I think Horning Aristoteles would be excellent for what you listen to.I have the Horning Eufrodite Ellipse which are the next speaker up and love them. They ended my speaker search after over 40 years of being in th... | |
| 350.8 to 30.8 That's your opinion browndt. I think the only advantage of the X.8 compared to XA.8 amps is bass slam and dynamics. The mids and highs on the XA amps are more natural and organic.If you don't need all that power and depending on the kind of music ... | |
| Upgrade from Pass Labs XA30.8 to X250.8. Worth it? hk-fan, I agree. If you are going to use hi-efficient speakers stay with the XA amp. | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Almarg, I have Horning Eufrodite Ellipse speakers, which I run with 300b's and Pass XA-30.8. My Supratek Sauvignon has adjustments for gain, so I should have no problems.Teajay, looking forward to your review once you get the amp.Sorry for going o... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Hi almarg,To bad you didn't wait for the new First Watt SIT-3. I'm on the waiting list. Should be getting it in October, hopefully. Nelson is only making 250 of them. A few reviewers think very highly of it. Stating that the tonal balance is quit... | |
| AC Regenerator PS Audio isn't the only game in town. Purepower makes very good regenerators with battery back-up.I use a Purepower 1500+ which is excellent. The only concern is their customer service isn't the best, but the units are reliable. Had mine for about... | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money Hi Audiolabyrinth, I also use a platinum starlight hdmi. I have a directstream dac and denafrips terminator. I perfer the terminator with redbook cd’s.Teajay, if you didn’t use the I2s output to your dac, then you didn’t hear the memory transport ... | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money Hey Mike, Let us know how the I2s works between the transport and the Denafrips terminator dac. I think it suppose to be the best input for the Terminator.I use the Terminator with the PS Audio Memory Player using the I2s connections and it sounds... | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 Here's one nobody mentioned, K&K Audio Maxxed Out Phono Stage.You can get it with 2 inputs. I run mine with a Lyra Kleos SL with no problems, sounds wonderful. | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? Charles1dad has given you a good list. I have Horning Eufrodite Ellipse and think they check everything on your list.The Classic Audio Loudspeakers are wonderful too. | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money Sedgwick, that is in Singapore dollars. In US dollars $3645.15 | |
| Horning Agalmes experience Hi amuse18, I don’t have Agalme, but use the Eufrodite Ellipse with very good results.First off, they need a pretty big room hopefully with a high ceiling. They don’t play well with low ceilings (overloaded bass). I have mine set far from the side... |
