I'm trying to find the other end of the spectrum to my T60RP Argon from ModHouse. I'm confused on what would be the opposite end of this spectrum. An open back, dynamic from who? What do you need from me to help narrow down an answer? I have a TA-22 Tube Amp and a Magni.

Hello, recently, I've been given a pair of Snell Type C/V speakers. The previous amplifier was Krell kav 300i, I think the whole system was intended for Home Theater, but I'm interested only in music. I've only the speakers for now, and a friend of mine is building the Protodac TDA 1387 x 8...

Hello, First post here! Been reading for a while. I just built myself a pair of Paul carmody hitmaker speakers. They sound great! Great bass response, however, they are not quite detailed enough for critical mixing duties. Does anyone have any experience with another kit that you have found...

I'm looking for a pair of over the ear closed back headphones under $1000. I binge watch a lot of movies and series and sometimes listen to music. The source is my PC motherboard's integrated audio but I plan on replacing it with a DAC/Amp. The budget of $1000 is only for the headphones. I...

I'm simply wondering if the DX3 Pro+ is a sufficient enough DAC alone for the Asgard 3. If my DX3 Pro+ is sufficient enough let alone to not buy anything else, I'm all ears. If there are any other suggestions, I'm fully open to as well. Whatever performs or is suggested for my Edition XS, I...

Hey all! Been a lurker in here forever. Had a question for all of you. I only use headphones occasionally for mixing/mastering work when I'm on the road. I currently use Sennheiser HD 650s with sonarworks to correct the EQ. But I see myself using headphones more and more in the near future...

Hi there! My first post. I love amazing audio and this blog is incredible. I'm still very much a newbie. But my current set up is a Denon AVRS710w with two Andrew Jones Pioneer Elite SP-EBS73-LR speakers. I'd love to add a center channel to complement this setup. It's mostly for my living room...

Like the title says. I would like to use , ✌️, , etc. I say that because you probably couldn't see most of them. These emoji's are universal across many devices and websites, I don't understand why it's not standard on here.

Hello ! I was using Steinberg ur22 and AT- 2035 condenser microphone. I decided to put it back in my home for my father and buy new gear for me (Upgrade from current gear) I use Logic pro on Macbook pro, mainly record vocals (Ballad style, Indian music) with acoustic Guitar. Never tried...

Looking for a studio monitor for less than 600$ per pair. The room is about 11 square meters and I can't do barely any acoustic treatment. Right now I'm using JBL 305P MKII and the bass is overwhelming even if I reduce it as much as I can. I saw some reviews and these are on my wish list for...

Dear ASR Members, This is my first time posting in the forums so a bit nervous. I have a small room (12x11x10) and want to get a decent pair or 2.1 system studio monitors for it. I have been using the Rokit 6 G3s for 7 years now and feel like it’s time for an upgrade. I have treated the room...

Hello guys, I recently bought a new dell pc (the only way i could get my hands on the new rtx cards) and it has no optical in. Now I do have a topping e30/l30 stack. I would like to run the external amp and dac with optical out from the soundcard. I was wondering if i bought an external...

Hi guys, I want to upgrade my headphone amplifier (I currently have a fiio e10k but plan on using that or a dongle as a dac once I upgrade amp). The best value amp that I have found so far is the liquid spark which would cost 120 euro imported to Europe, however my main worry is the ac - dc...

Dear ASR members, Do you have any good headphones to suggest for music listening that cost under 200$/€ ? So far, I have picked the HD 599 as the most suitable for the job, but I have not made up my mind yet. I plan on using these with my phone & laptop. Thank you for your time.

I’m looking for suggestions on a dac for my powered active studio monitors. I’m mainly looking to record and mix music so accuracy performance is a huge deal. This will be connected through digital outs of my Universal Apollo X6, to my active studio monitors. Here is a list of what I am...

Hello All, Any suggestions of good DAC/Streamer that works as Roon Ready Endpoint ? One of the important things for me is that volume could also be controlled via Roon so avoid playing with volume in multiple places. Also balanced analog outputs would be good. I'm planing to connect to a DIY...

Hello, as the title says I'm looking for IEMs under 100€ to only use with my phone and maybe sometime my laptop. I don't use a dac, just straight from the 3.5mm jack of my pixel 3a. I stream music from Tidal HiFi, I need these only when I'm going around outside (for the future since I'm stuck...

Is the Khadas still the king in price to performance?

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendation between the 2, or another suggestion in that price range. I have seen the reviews on here for both but was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on the 2, or if there is a better suggestion. I have seen the DX3 Pro but I think that's a bit out...
