    Holy Donkey Kong! And I always thought Dynaudio was special

    I would argue that he is biased as he is trying to sell his "upgrade". Not that the Bennic capacitors in the crossover are fantastic, but apparently they are good enough for use inside the much more expensive Vivid speakers. This is the Dynaudio crossover. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Ugly speakers

    I don't quite know what it is that I dislike about PS Audio's new speakers, I just think that they are slightly aesthetically challenged. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Passive vs Active Pre-Amp

    My brother, Scubadude, and I experimented a lot with passive pre's in the 90's, partly driven by curiosity and partly (mostly) lack of funds to afford a proper pre-amp. There are a lot of factors at play that makes it a bit of a crap shoot. Take output level for instance. If you are playing...

    Recommended upgrade cartridge for Thorens TD160?

    Bargain at the price. You will not get a better stylus shape gor anywhere close to the price.

    Your last system

    High-end integrated amplifier, something like the Krell K 300i with built-in DAC, Wilson Sabrina X speakers and either my Linn Axis or LP12.

    Anyone using 50 or 100 disc ccd changers?

    Agreed..I referred to CD changers, not CD players in general.

    Anyone using 50 or 100 disc ccd changers?

    With Tidal I don't need a CD changer, but in terms of sound, as long as it has a digital output, you can improve the sound with a modern DAC.

    Specs/Tests To Determine Sonic Differences

    Interesting article, thanks. As someone who considers himself a subjectivist I do have to take issue with one statement: Other examples of the unreliability of testing to determine real sonic differences abound:  Real and audible signal losses due to capacitive discharge effects in cables...

    Tidal sound quality

    I have been noticing that quite a bit of music on Tidal sounds bass heavy, sometimes unlistenably so. When compared to ripped tracks played from the same PC and through the same DAC, cables and system the balance is much better and more in line with what I get from good vinyl. Has anyone else...

    AudioKinesis Swarm Subwoofer System

    Looks like an interesting product. You could potentially use a sub-woofer amplifier from B&W, Klipsch or PSB to drive the four passive subs so one less aspect to worry about. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Revival of AVSA is paramount for our hobby and industry in SA

    Maybe take a page from the fly fishing world. For years we had two paid for  quality fly fishing magazines in SA. As with so many print magazines they have both suffered from diminishing sales due to online competition, to the point where one magazine closed down. Then The Mission appeared on...
