I believe it's now time for me to move up the audiophile ladder and I could use some recommendations the help me design my next rig. My current system is: DAC: Yggy v1 fed by a Singxer F1 + AMP: Taurus Mk2 SOURCE: Macbook + audirvana HP: Focal ELear SPEAKERS: Focal Solo 6 I'm open to change...

I'm a bit in a situation... my girlfriend put my short in the washer.....with my Westone W4R in the pocket.... you can imagine the result. :( I now need a replacement but thing is, it seems the mid-market, universal IEM in the $500 price range, has significantly dried up. CIEM in the $1000...

Head-fier for a quite a while now, I'm thinking upgrading my setup to some reference class components, a sort of "set it and forget it" system...

After some pleasing experiences in the tube world, I feel I still miss something, mainly dynamics, bass control and accuracy, where SS usually excel in (I know some will argue about this...sorry). Tubes amps are widely discussed throughout this forum and I've learned a lot while browsing...

Ok my title may need some explanations... I now have quite a nice rig : Woo Audio 2 "half maxxed" + dacmagic + K701. After some break-in, the K701 sounds now pretty good (I feel I'm getting closer and closer to the first rows), especially on voices, but it's still too much on the...

It's been a while now that I'm crawling from thread to thread, trying to make up my mind before getting my first tube amp for an AKG K701.. Even if I have narrowed my list to 2 amps, I still need some help to make a choice within my shortlist. Here are the finalist : - LD MKIV (SE or not...
