Camissa When I listened to the KEF Blades I felt they needed a higher sitting position (in that specific room), i.e the center image seemed high. (I recommended that the couch needed to be lifted) This was especially true with regards to how I experience my Harbeth M30.1 and 40th SH5 on their...

I reckon you won't be disappointed with its sonic qualities, have been enjoying mine for quite some time.

Wow, great offer and really a very nice DAC. Features include : 768K sampling rate (up to DSD 256), isolated USB from power and 1,2,3V output and equivalent tap filter length to Hugo in a smaller but heavy aluminum chassis and a simple discrete class A output stage. Dual non-isolated 384K coax...

I recall hearing a high-end clearaudio cartridge (perhaps gold-finger) from our local agent (many years ago, sadly he passed on) and it had a uncanny ability to play a dirty flea-market LP as if it was a 200gram master pressing.

Cactus needle from Soundsmith? (Hyperion) Audio Technica OC9 series and Hana?

Just curious which Mac? OSX version? DAC connected via hub or directly to Mac? Playback software?

A balanced amp requires 4 amplifiers (where a single-ended stereo requires only 2) but some offer transformer coupling on RCA inputs to concert single-ended inputs to balanced for convenience so that a balanced signal is amplified.

For $35 and a rpi this seems to offer ROON to UPnP device.. Use UPnP Streamers with Roon : https://sellcodes.com/pKGxXQpr

Safety first, a Lapp 100 CY 3 with 2.5mm (squared) conductors will already give plenty current capability and added material/fire hazard safety benefit over a speaker cable. (insulator may be chosen for sonic reasons not fire hazard safety reasons) Be warned this one is not very flexible and...

It is tough challenge I reckon, first may be battle with print vs a digital publication and secondly there are ever growing Youtube review channel's that are subscription or guest based. A trusted and competent reviewer is also an absolute requirement. This could be measured in experience in...

see DIYAudio and perhaps reach out to thejohn who posted last in 2019 for advice.. https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/solid-state/80712-fostex-300-laboratory-power-amp-4.html

Very curious to hear feedback on anyone able to sample the Perla

Try the smartphone app?

Specific component and tubes are used in the component?

Time is since they glow, or heater voltage is applied. Some amps have standby mode, the B+/HT voltage is applied slowly after and some heaters are directly or indirectly applied.

Just as I was starting to save for a pair, they are gone :sd:

Newly released and in limited numbers .. see : https://www.audeze.com/products/lcd-r

At same level / USB implementation?

With extended lead times on computer hardware my suggestion may not help. I use PC Engines APU (APU2) boards with ROON and Daphile and they make i.m.o better streamers than the non X86 (RISC based single-board computers). This has USB 3 and note no video port so not an simple load-plug-and-play...
