| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @signaforce I am a bit conflicted in recommending the KRELL 300i integrated or the KRELL Duo 175XD (I see my old one up for sale). The reason being that KRELL is a ___show as a company at the moment, so you are taking a risk. Though people like Ge... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? Remember Yamaha came out with Beryllium for the tweeter and midrange in the 1970’s. Paradigm followed suite around 2016 with the Persona lineup. For their new top end speakers, Yamaha did not want to use Beryllium, so they investigated a fibre us... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? I was having lunch with a friend who is a musician | amp builder | speaker builder | etc. He was telling me that the Yamaha NS10M definitely needed some toilet paper on the drivers. I asked him if the paper had to be clean (being an audiophile). H... | |
| DACs in the Peachtree Nova 150 vs WiiM Ultra Here is my ad. No one will believe me that the Schitt gear is a competitor to this great amp, so I have no issue posting this beside the comment above. My target audience is not on A’gon for this amp.I reopened the ad last night. RAAL-Requisite ... | |
| DACs in the Peachtree Nova 150 vs WiiM Ultra Maybe I may dissuade someone for doing anything with my comment. I was in the same boat not too long ago. I wish I had listened to some advice to look at Schitt Audio when stating out as I stated above. Last night, I did a complex audio setup, an... | |
| DACs in the Peachtree Nova 150 vs WiiM Ultra I owned the PeachTree Nova 150 for a few years. I did a few tests with it by isolating the preamp and the amps sections. The preamp section was terrible, and the amp section was OK. The newer Peachtree amps GAN amps were a better than the OK amp p... | |
| Room is way too bright. I can vouch for that Magnepan comment. I have some Magnepan Minis in a 10 x 13 x 8 open room. I have a CD rack near the left speaker and a huge TV placed on the floor of the right speaker. If I used non-Magnepan speakers in this space it would be ... | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? @carl292 Sorry for your loss. I have not heard of Judge Joe Lodge though I did once get dismissed for jury selection in SB. I think the judge was a bit amused at how that happened with my interaction with the prosecuting lawyer. My wife may have ... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? Detail done right, like my Schitt Yggi+ OG DAC is amazing. I think the new SimAudio North Collection amps are getting raves because of the detail but also the natural sound of that detail. They are (almost?) as detailed as the Benchmark AHB2. I l... | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? I have owned the following: CODA #8 (own CODA #16 now) Schitt Freya+ Schitt Yggi+ OG and Yggi+ LIM (own these 2 now) Benchmark AHB2 Schitt Mjolnir v3 I tried the Freya+ with the CODA #8 and did not like the amount of warmth I had. I liked... | |
| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled Does the USB cable work on a computer peripheral connect to a computer? Do you have a portable USB drive that you can use to transfer some files from a computer. The computer maybe more informative if an error occurs. I am interested in your take... | |
| Starting my showroom again @oberoniaomnia You are only an hour away from some of the best audio stores in the USA. | |
| Room is way too bright. Digital Room Calibration Services, Convolver, Headphone Filtersets This is done remotely. Your system will sound much better afterwards. This does not require physical acoustic room treatment, though you could use them if it already exists. The g... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 @incorrigable Congrats. I also finally bought the NS5000 and every time play music on it is a revelation. Those 3 drivers are something special. The fact that you bought it from Shelley's says a lot since they have it demoed in the worst possible... | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC BTW - the Mola Mola Tambaqui was actually designed around 2005 by Bruno P. I would love to own one if it cost under $3k Bruno mentioned the history of the DAC in an interview on ASR. The Tambaqui DAC was originally the DAC module in the Makua prea... |
