| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers To the OP, "Did you ever get to listen to the Treos?" I might have missed it. I have an order in for Tekton Design Double Impact SE but the wait is 2 months. I did hear the Treos once and they have a great sound over the 2CE Sig IIs that I own now... | |
| A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC? I don't completely agree that the DAC inside the Node is not that great. It sounds really good to me. I guess my external Bifrost 2 or Benchmark sounds slightly better but when I play most MQA files through Node alone it sounds very, very good. YMMV | |
| Sometimes you have to change you The most difficult component to get right in your system. Your head. | |
| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. Have you ever heard the Wilson Audio Duette 2? I say that because you mentioned Wilson already and the Duette 2 is the best stand mount speaker I have heard. They fill a room with sound and have the slam you are looking for. Just my two cents. The... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Two of my favorite pieces of audio kit, Line Magnetic integrated amp (216i) and Musical Fidelity M6500i integrated amp. One is tube, one is solid state. I own the LM Audio but the MF is outside of my budget. Darn it! I have two audio systems and ... | |
| I am so happy..... Enjoy my friend. Music can really work magic on the soul. | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Node (2021) You could? just spend the money on a better external DAC than what’s in the Node (2021). That would enhance the sound (other than MQA albums) unless you bought a more expensive DAC with MQA. All that depends on whether or not you already have a q... | |
| Anyone have experience with Willsenton tube amps or specifically the R800i (92lbs)? Thanks for for the informative replies. Happy Listening to all. | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile I noticed when I rolled in some NOS Sylvania tubes the Freya + sounded much better. It sounded very good with the stock tubes, but the NOS tubes improved performance noticeably. It replaced a SS Parasound preamp which was no slouch. In terms of ov... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? noske good points all around. I suppose a certain level of snobbery can be found with other "things" other than audio ie clothes, cars, homes etc. But in the end, live and let live. Whatever someone wants to spend on audio does not really affect m... | |
| Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else? Musical Fidelity M6si500 as mentioned earlier. | |
| Sub Decision I bought two Rythmik F12SE (GR-Research paper drivers) and I really think these fsub woofers added a fast bottom freq to my speakers. Good Luck! | |
| Understanding MQA/tidal/ DA conversion No problem with Qobuz but I have tried Tidal MQA and with many recordings it sounds great, really great. But not all MQA recordings sound great. And as others have mentioned you must have a DAC to fully unfold the MQA file. That's kind of a pain. ... | |
| Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else? The A21 is much, much better that the A23 and will drive your speakers... no problem. The A21+ is an upgrade for sure but not worth the extra cash IMO. The JC5 is in another league but still not dual mono . I like the advice by erik to try other a... | |
| Upgraded McCormack DNA-1 or Dennis Had Inspire SEP? Not trying to interfere in your quest but I have a Line Magnetic tube amp I luv and if I were looking into another integrated tube amp that had awesome bang for the buck and gave me the ability to get warranty work in the USA I would look hard at ... |
