And the response….
Good, but man, after you hear the 860v2, it’s no going back. I really like the 760A footprint. It doesn’t quite have the big sound and sense of effortless power of the 860v2, but in a small to medium room, great.

Not at this time. Stand mounts don’t sell as easily. Not big movers as a whole. Most people would just spent a wee bit more and get the 804D4’s IMO.

Until you’ve truly heard an AAA pressing, it might not be clear. Take for example, the album Mike played for me on his new Kuzma Stabi R - Lee Morgan, Cornbread. This pressing was from the master tapes. It was beautifully pressed. A 1958...
We use SAIA almost exclusively. They should call you to arrange delivery. If you have the BOL, call them and try to schedule a time now.

Jeff nails it. Great read.

Nice job. The new tweeter is longer and “sunk into” the cabinet to run flush with the new cabinet. We are definitely getting a pair. I want the active version sans streamer.

To my ears, the 340i is the sweet spot and the value play. The 600 and 700 bring more power and refinement. The 700 makes a statement visually and sonically, but at a significant premium.

Different strokes I guess. I listened at the dealer to the YG Anniversary XV with 4 Audionet Heisenberg amps and Stern preamp for several hours. Great system. Tremendous speed, dynamics, scale and soundstage. But I have to say for the type of music...
I do not own YG Acoustics but I really enjoy them and have taken every opportunity to listen to them at my local dealer and audio shows. I would say it very much depends on the size of your room. If you have a medium to large room, stick with the...
I don’t know those Mc pieces, so a little hard to comment. A 2500 is a better reference for me. I always found the 2500 veiled compared to say a VAC Ren V. We took a 2500 on trade for a VAC pre.
If I was shopping in that budget: Pass XP12...
Tone? That sounds like a sweet little Jadis integrated or something to me.
But then again, with the current state of tube availability, the 866 might be a good way to go.

When I created the special forum for the magazines to post LINKS to their reviews and perhaps even interact with subscribers (a great suggestion from Jeff at SoundStage), everyone was pleased and thanked me for doing so….except Stereophile….their...
The DAC in the 866 does not outperform the LaScala IMO. It’s good, but the LaScala is very special and still my favorite standalone dac under $10k.
Do you find yourself needing more power than the INT-60?

Since we’re the American Distributor for Block Audio, we probably won’t be competing with ourselves.
They are $350 if you’re getting them with the top of the line Furutech outlets built in.
Otherwise:

No triple. They do make a double, but it’s for a small power cable. Best to stick with single only. There isn’t room for the C-Lock and more large outlets.

How much is the subscription? The D1X is $50K here in America. I don’t think anyone with a $50K DAC would squawk at $20/month for a streaming service.
If you’re focused on CD/SACD, I still wonder if the K1X/PS1 might make more sense.

LOL. My bad. Well, it’s close(r) to Australia than say buying a HK product or otherwise.
New Zealand is one place I would love to visit.

Excellent question. In this situation, I would keep the Nucleus running core duties and get the new Pulsar network player. The Pulsar will have upgraded parts over the the Zenith and be totally dedicated to network streamer duties with no...
Are you able to get Qobuz or Tidal?
Spotify is mp3 level.
A DAC at the level of D1X deserves high res and a proper network transport like the Antipodes K50 which should be easy for you to get since its from Australia.

Yes. Atkinson got his knickers in a knot at Peter B on Facebook for leaking it. Figured it would be best to remove.

Comparing and integrated to a behemoth 350.8 is a bit unfair. The 350.8 will have just effortless power and soundstaging. It will be warmer in tone, have more bass, but not necessarily tighter or more defined bass than the 590.
