Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo 17 years with the M3 v1

One thing i will say about Axioms, they dont exagerate anything, garbage in garbage out.The better the source the better they sound. Quite amazing speakers imho, yet they did get some unwanted attention for a while those retards have moved on to other people to bother.

A cold glass of stout? Obviously you don't have a Lucas fridge.

Hi Shankar

It was a pair of M3tis, a little Velodyne sub and a 5 wpc tube amp that started me down the road of audio obsession in search of audio bliss!

I used a $29 Fiio DAC and it sure made my cable box sound good!

I've been on a DAC tear this year. Picked up a Bryston BDA 2 for my main system. I still use an old coax only Theta Pro for the CD player. Got a Jadis JPL preamp (audio porn) for the Conrad Johnson MV60SE amp. Grabbed a pair of Montana pbn speakers. That system is done. (Never done really)
True high end sound!

I moved the Schiit Bifrost multibit DAC upstairs to the Klipsch Forte Harman Kardon TA5000x tube system. Sounds incredible.

Here's the deal of the bunch. I grabbed a Topping D50 512DSD DAC for my Integra M504/P304 Dahlquist DQM905 system. Great sounding solid state system. I highly recommend the $250 Topping DAC. This is the work out room system. Doesn't get as much play as it should.

DACs may be the most significant component after speakers for a system.

All you folks with the non-v4 M3s have no idea what you're missing. And Ian, because he cares so much about all of our ear-brains and enjoyment, has made it so darned easy to upgrade to M3v4.
