Finally I have found an amp that drives these to perfection. There have always been a handful here that do them justice, yet this amp I'm using now has given me numerous goosebump listening sessions and that's my ultimate test. Lots of pairings will give you a long cymbal fade, or some bass response that you seem to react to, yet give me the emotion of music every time. The analytics of sound I've never much cared for. I need to be moved- to tears or laughter or dancing (well, it's painful to watch but I do anyway). These Yonnas from Ewe Meyer of Tonnaparate and my new lil amp, well, kind of a chunk so not too little, seem like they are star-crossed lovers. I posted about these recently on my Instagram account yet forgot to say it on here. What I also like about my new amp is that it drives the Falcon LS3/5a's like nothing else I've heard. High praise indeed. The Falcons really just disappear. And I've had an actual certified speaker disappearance award by my local listening panel- tough crowd to please. And noooo, I'm not giving out any more of my Haven secrets. Schedule an appointment and find out for yourself. I'll give one hint, it does have tubes....

I happened upon a dac that I feel has charted a whole new course for my digital future. Simple- it has to be for me to use- closest to analog I’ve had here so far, I am in love with this smallish two- box device. Let others chatter on about their newest find, talk to me about R2R dacs all you want, I have a dac here that is affordable ($6k) and hits all the right notes. I apologize to all in the past that I babbled on about. “Right is right, and good is good,” a slight paraphrase from a local listening team member. A music teacher and early audiophile mentor of mine used to say when you hear it in your heart then it’s for you. Well, it’s here to listen to and you can listen for yourself. The new Spec Dac1… highly recommended!
