Phantom Gold Confusion & Expert Pro Question

[sedieren]

hi etch

Thanks for the interesting observations. I am happy with my golds having heard details on them that I have never picked up from music I've been listening to for 40 years. I'm using the golds as bookshelf speakers in a study and getting better results than from by Bryston / B&W 804 plus DB1 sub in the living room. So no complaints here.

But you clearly have better ears than me, and a more objective approach to comparison, and your reference to using studio monitors has me intrigued. What DAC are you using may I ask and are you controlling gain/volume on that or at the source?

thanks
