My impression of Edifier S3000 Pro
After i auditioned some high end active speakers i noticed how much they wipe the floor with most passive speakers regardless of amp or dacs or cables used in passives. Kii 3, dutch and dutch 8, Neumann upper models, Genelec ones just wipe the floor with any headphones regardless of dacs and... -
My impression of Edifier S3000 Pro

Violectric V222 and V202
I think good crosstalk gives better sense of air and separation. V280 and my present Topping dx9 are noticably better in that department and both have lower measured crosstalk. Even Topping dx7 that i had were better in that department. Was not disappointed in any other aspect.- Arniesb

Active desktop/bookshelf speaker/monitors recommendations please…
You would be fool to not pick Neumann at close to this price considering their performance. Genelecs are more analytical while Neumann speakers are not offensive at all. I probably gonna get Neumann Kh 150 since it have no competition at its price range from what ive seen.- Arniesb

What's the best USB audio cable for the money?
Anything more technical is more analytical with sharper attack. Sometimes less resolving cable in the right place is better... Just Like Silver often times can make high end systems too analytical.- Arniesb

Dan Clark Audio Stealth Review, Interview, Measurements
Thats because V222 is perfect fit for leaner more neutral headphones like stealth, HD800S, Beyers, Hifimans. Lots of headphones need some warmth because of lean tonal balance and this is where warmer amp or dac comes to help.- Arniesb

I dont like Lcds's tuning or Company in general. Not competant in my opinion. Dan Clark seems like sharp guy with analytical mind. I would trust his products.- Arniesb

A master DAC killer, SMSL SU-X
Western Didnt inovate anything dacs and amps department... Fancy buzzwords and hand waving and selling fantasies is not inovation. Headphones and speakers yes West are far ahead, but in electronics departement you can only find something good if youre willing to pay crazy pricies.- Arniesb

Great design = great measurements. Further improvements can be had with high end components. Most of the Western companies = Poor design, but high end components. In my opinion Western companies either gonna improve their design and pricing or they gonna be overtaken by Chinese companies who put...- Arniesb

Utopia 2022 looks amazing, but that Headband design bothers me... I mean they make earpads easily replacable , but not headband padding? They have perfect example of Sennheiser with its cheap and easily replacable headband padding. I think i paid 30 euro for hd800S heaband padding...- Arniesb
