This Incredible Album From the '70s is Now Available on Two 180 Gram 45rpm LPs & Pressed at Pallas!
Great German pressing on this one. Best I’ve ever heard it.

I’m very happy with mine:
M17 V2 - NAD Electronics
I have the NAD in the family room and the Trinnov in the Home Theater. The NAD is a great performer, better than the Marantz I previously had.
Funny, the ones who say they don’t care about MQA, insist on having it as part of the alphabet soup when buying a new DAC.

I’m still playing with the filters, but 4fs is my fave so far. I’m also anxiously waiting for Roon certification too. Even though I hate the bugginess of Roon and realize it may not be sonically the best, it will be the best option for the...
So much of that going on with the used market right now. It’s really annoying.
The historically speaking there wasn’t always a major difference between the K1 and K3. But with the XD series, there is a significant difference between the...

Hi, welcome and thank you for the kind words. Buy another 900u would be my recommendation. The pre change will be a lateral move. The 900u will take your power from 150 watts to over 600 in mono mode, and still handle the impedance swings of the...
Another home run.

Think of the Everest/Combo more in terms of Sonic benefits over the 6000sv2/Sigma XC or Alpha XC rather than current benefits. That being said, in an apartment, I would be very happy with the 6000Sv2/Sigma or Alpha combo. The Everest is quite...
This morning, I am fondly remembering the good old days of civility.
I sure love my Everest/Omega XC. I’m certain it was a big part in my digital sounding sooooo good.

Myself and Puma Cat have. The Everest builds on everything the 6000Sv2 gives you and just takes it to another level. More depth, blackness, layering.

The most irritating (neurotic?) habits I've observed are those that skip tracks or listen to only part of a track then play another the same way. I have to ask those people if they also watch a film from start to finish or do you fast forward to...
This is a good article. I find streaming causes a lot of hopping around. With vinyl, you sure won’t do that and with a CD, unlikely, but you may grab that remote. One of the reasons I love vinyl is that it literally forces you to listen to an...
Thank you. I get a little irked when someone calls my baby ugly. I’ve tried to stay out a little of the conversations because I’m far more interested in learning what YOU guys think. For example, I learned a lot on the public pricing thread that...
being 12k new and depending on the parts list and labor involved, six bills to repair a mechanical problem isnt out of whack when you consider its a factory repair center.
Yes. It’s been playing non-stop. Opening up nicely. It has a meaty full sound with a detailed, but smooooooth top end. Tried it with pre and without. I may like it direct better.
Definitely a really good DAC with great features for $9995....
Then maybe forgo the system and only attend live performances or take up playing a musical instrument?
I’m a damn good Sax player, won awards and more, but I understand the difference between playing music and listening to music. I can also...
Ok, so I will take that as a yes, DAC’s do matter. Well here’s the problem:
EVERY SINGLE digital recording MUST go through an Analog to Digital conversion process. So when you click play on that track on Tidal or Qobuz, you are at the mercy...
well, let’s take a look at things in detail. Let’s start by asking you a question.
Do you believe that the quality of a DAC matters or is the DAC in your mobile phone good enough for your system? Is a Chord Mojo “good enough”?
Oh look what we have here, a steak cooked to perfection at a three star Michelin restaurant.
Oh look over there, 12 steaks from the Golden Coral.
Quality matters.
My gear has nothing to do with anything talked about in this thread...why mention it? Oh..personal attacks come when backed into a corner, Thats really mature.
And another version of an album you won’t find on Tidal or Qobuz.
