| Emotiva not so good Best gear for the money but is pretty cold and hard on speakers if you accidentally clip. I have a pt 100/a 300 combo that has been pretty good. Just got a McIntosh MA252 and the difference is profound... The mac is superb but also much more mone... | |
| Recommended Sennheiser or Bose Headphones I've got a pair of Bose QC 15, the noise isolating, and they are 9 years old. Not my main phones anymore, but they have been dependable and enjoyable for me. They have great sound and I prefer them over some Nad HP 50's I bought on a whim. Bos... | |
| Emotiva not so good XDA-1 dac, XPA amp, ERC-1 cd player. After that I gave up on Emotiva. The XDA-1 was bested by a $150 dac from Schiit. | |
| Best $40 I've spent...maybe ever I've been using deoxit for several years, and every time I do the entire system (IC's, all rca jacks, all power points, speaker cable ends and binding posts, fuses and fuse holders) the results are easily noticeable. Maybe not to the extent of th... | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. 60%?! I got only 40% off but I ordered them 40% too long to compensate. I was not born yesterday, sir!!Okay, I better explain. That was just a lame attempt at humor. The discount applies to the price not the length, for anyone born yesterday, or... | |
| OK...Added 2 HSU ULS-15Mk2 subwoofers To My System I've got the ULS-15 MKII and it's a musical sub, so I'm not surprised the OP is finding more detail. It's gotta have the best bang for buck in a 15 inch, since they upgraded it. Congrats on the addition! | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. I’ve never tried their speaker cables, these days I have Audioquest Rocket 44’s that I got for about 65% off. Please report back, Kimber makes a pretty nice cable.Morrow's practice of sale pricing can be a bit off putting, I assume it's a type of ... | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. Okay, so I've got close to 200 hours on the MA4's and have put them in the 2 channel rig on my Nad C565BEE cd player. I immediately noticed a superior presentation over the cables they replaced, the old generation MA3, and both have the same Eich... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts I had the previous gen Bifrost Multibit. It had depth, great imaging and a slightly warm sound. Cable changes were noticeable with this dac.Then Schiit went and blew that dac out of the water with a new model, the Bifrost 2. Spec wise, everything ... | |
| Low Cost DACs I usually have my Modi 3 in a stack with the Vali 2 on top. It's not a lot of weight, so I can't really say if it's been a help. What I do know is that any dac I've got sound mediore when plugged into my avr. They are sound much better with the... | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. Morrow encourages using the correct direction, indicated by arrows or their label. On cryogenics, I’m not sure they’ve announced a position, but I don’t think they treat their cables with this.The Navy does that for good reason. Many high end sp... | |
| Adcom GFP 750 pre amp upgrade Big Sky Audio What you’re describing sort of sounds like my 555MS. It’s pretty neutral sounding, warmer when I have a Denon AVR driving it vs a Schiit Freya+ .Come to think of it, when I had a Parasound P5 driving the 555SE, that’s when I got the impression o... | |
| Adcom GFP 750 pre amp upgrade Big Sky Audio Thanks for relating your experience, the 750 is truly one of the greats. I’ve been tracking the 565SE with the goal of acquiring one by the end of the year. If you don’t mind, could you describe it’s sound characteristics?One owner I read said ... | |
| Is there a such too much power for speakers? Like most dealers, this one would like to make a big sale, but advising to buy a $75k amp is probably not the best advice. Such an amp might be marginally superior to a $15k amp, but one would be spending a premium of 60,000 to possibly get a sma... | |
| Emotive sira? Also, one could connect a subwoofer to the second variable output, something I do with my Schiit Freya+, with great results. |
