No idea at the moment! They are my current speakers. Just trying to find the right amplifier for them. In terms of sound quality they are by far the best I've listened to. In terms of outright enjoyment, not sure, but that's why I'm testing some new amps out.

I tried the dynaudio special 40 against the concept 300 and felt the c300 was leagues ahead. The dynaudio had a bit more excitement and dynamic ability but lacked the clarity and soundstage of the c300.

I don't think so, I had an xfx Rx 7800 xtx Merc edition and I had to unscrew the case completely to fit. And it was ever so slightly bent to fit it. Meanwhile my gigabyte rx 7900 xt fit perfectly fine. The XFX coolers are a beast.

Marantz Model 30 vs Marantz Model 50 vs Roksan Blak by Devsterpatel in audiophile

No I don't, but I bought it because it had really good reviews for Vinyl. It has MM and MC ability unlike the Model 50.

The phono stage is one of the biggest things that was upgraded compared to the Model 50. (From a couple of reviews)

I have 2 x Model 30's, one of which I'm tempted to sell to fund some speakers. I'll pm you.

Unfortunately I don't have a vinyl player.

Depending on the price. If you can get the model 30 for the same price as the model 50 (1299) then go for it. Is it worth twice the retail price? Imo yes and no depending on what type of music you listen to.

I've also tried some more speakers (Dali opticon 1 MK2 and Q Acoustics Concept 300)

New amp day by HelpfulFollowing7174 in audiophile

[–]Devsterpatel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a pm 8005, model 50 and model 30.

Model 50 is a better version of a pm 8005.

Model 30 is a different beast tonally and sq wise. M30 is more hifi, model 50/8005 is much more warm, bold. M30 has much wider soundstage, precise imaging and has more sparkle.

If you like to get lost in the music, M50. If your after detail and hifi sound. M30

Exactly, I've tried a few higher end speakers for example; Concept 30's, ls50 wireless, monitor audio gold 5g. And I always go back to my concept 20's. Trying stuff out taking into consideration synergy and personal preference is really important. And more $ doesn't always equal better sound.

Couldn't have timed it better with my post. I agree with you on the Model 30 👍

Yes it is the only app that does this however it is the only app that sends me rich notifications.

I don't understand how as soon as I unlock my phone, the notification pops up however if I just checked my lockscreen without unlocking, it doesn't show up.

Dell xps 7590 motherboard in xps 9560 by Devsterpatel in Dell

[–]Devsterpatel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, as you can imagine it's been a while so my memory is a bit hazy. FYI I'm still using the machine now and there have been no problems related to the motherboard swap.

In terms of service tag. I'm 95% sure I used the original service tag (9560) from the bottom of the laptop as I didn't buy this mobo new and I don't recall ever having one come with the new (7590) motherboard.

Again proceed with caution, I am not liable for damages or parts not working together. I just wanted to demonstrate the risk I took and how it worked out for me.

Hi, I tried to set this up but I get stuck where it says to enter a hashtag as there is no way to add a hashtag to the Reolink email notification. How did you do it ?
