    MAG-LEV Audio | The First Levitating Turntable

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/245727224/mag-lev-audio-the-first-levitating-turntable Thoughts from those more knowledgable than me? Does this have the potential to address a whole host of vibrational issues? I guess main obstacle will be the isolation of the turntable platter magnetic...

    Hi Adam, did you end up getting one? Your thoughts vs latest CAPS would be interesting.

    Tad cr-1

    Goes to show that you need to listen to these combinations and form your own opinion. I personally did not like the 911mk3 / cr1 combo. The 911mk3 is an aggressive sounding amp and it made the already forward sounding CR1's sound nervous. Another member here, Joeind, will tell you the same...

    Chord Hugo DAC

    I have not seen much discussion of the Chord Hugo/Hugo TT DACs on WBF (in non-portable context). The technology seems impressive: Hugo-DAC-Technical-Master-Class.pptx. Lots of rave on sonics and technology in various places and I personally was extremely impressed when I listened in a...

    Best redbook 16bit/44.1kHz DACs?

    I don't mind if the DACs play hi-res also, this is a nice to have feature, but not essential. Don't know about you guys but I listen to 95% redbook so want optimal performance for this format.

    Best PCM DACs?

    What are some of the best DACs out there that extract the most out of 16/44.1 PCM? Async USB is a must, playing high resolution formats is a nice to have. Thanks.

    What are some of the current SOTA digital crossover/loudspeaker processors?

    i guess in the end its always going to be software running on some kind of hardware platform. if there is windows/osx/linux software running on a computer that can compete with a dedicated system i would be glad to hear about it!

    What are some of the current SOTA digital crossover/loudspeaker processors?

    I know one of them may be the Electro-Voice Dx46 as Daniel Weiss recently described a pair of active 5-way speakers driven by this unit as some of the best speakers he has ever heard. Any other contenders anyone knows about that has been demonstrated in a loudspeaker design to produce...

    If you had to build a $5000 (digital only) system, what would you select?

    I guess secondhand would be the way to maximise bang for the buck. Assume a laptop or PC to play FLAC/AIFF files is already available. Something pleasing - full-range, transparent with good tone and decent resolution. Hifi trickery not expected at this price point, just a good solid...

    Pioneer SP-FS52 Andrew Jones designed $129 each

    Yes, I am a HUUGE fan of his TAD ref line speakers, some of the best box speakers available.

    Pioneer SP-FS52 Andrew Jones designed $129 each

    I am putting together a frugal system and came across these speakers. Just heard them in a noisy shopping mall environment so hard to get a proper impression but they sounded clean and composed at relatively high SPL. Looks like an incredible bargain at $129 each...
