| Newbie questions - Seeking a streamer with the right features - I'm confused! Bluesound and Sonos make speakers for this. These speakers are designed as remote wireless speakers. They are self powered and can be moved wherever you want them. | |
| One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All.... A very silly question indeed. | |
| Odyssey monoblock thoughts. I feel the need to defend my comments on Odyssey Audio.stereo5 wrote-“I had a Stratos extreme and Kismet mono blocks. I am now running all McIntosh. I heard a Magtech on another persons system and I thought it was lean sounding. I loved both the K... | |
| Odyssey monoblock thoughts. I think I had responded to you on audiocircle. I had a dreadful experience with Odyssey. I lost lots of money on the Tempest, Candela and Stratos amp. There was spurious noise issues and hum that was inherent in the equipment (documented on Odysse... | |
| Recommend an MQA album... That’s too bad. Keep in mind MQA is streaming content, not downloaded hi-Rez files. Also I can say the Beatles “Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band”, Sting “Dream of the Blue Turtles” and Diana Krall “ The Girl in the other Room” are very good.IMHO. | |
| New speakers? No thanks. Being satisified or happy with what one has, the life one lives is one of the best things we can do for happiness. | |
| Just sharing my excitement Wow I am extremely jealous but happy for you! The Codex and those Quatro CTs will sound spectacular. (As Wayne might say “we’re not worthy) | |
| New speakers? No thanks. I have Vandersteen 2 CE Sig II, and enjoy them immensely but if I were able to budget a change of speakers I would get the Quatro Wood CT without question. | |
| Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers? For easy to drive speakers, say high sensitivity 90? and 8 ohm or higher one can use even a flea watt amp for great success. A great many horn loud speakers (Klipsch and Volti Audio) sound terrific with low watt amps. I have that EXACT amp (LM aud... | |
| HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution??? I think the Modwright SWL-9.0 Se is a great choice. As pointed out by winoguy17. I would take it over the Odyssey, Schiit or Van Alstine anyday. I have a Schiit product, but the Modwright is a couple steps up. IMHO | |
| Recommendation on power amp Newtoncr congrats on making a choice to suit yourself.I think some posters, particularly some of the sales people, think they are the complete authority on what is good and what is not. Often someone points to their knowledge and experience. Let’s... | |
| Dumb lo-fi question. Yeah depends on many factors of course - much like millercarbon wrote. You really need to know how much power your speakers will draw from your receiver. The speakers have a sensitivity rating and an ohm rating, which is a good start. Just follow ... | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? All DAC’s convert a digital signal to analog. That’s how we hear it. But I understand the question. Also, we are led to believe ALL analog sources sound great. I mean does everyone own a Well Tempered or VPI turntable and great phono preamp? Does ... | |
| Streaming music- not the end all music solution but one main advantage? Some people don’t like them, but I have found the Powerline adapters very useful in situations where one cannot run another Ethernet cable for a wired connection (thus extending their router to another room in the house) and cannot get a wireless ... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? One of the biggest considerations I have with purchasing audio equipment is the quality level of communication and support. Often companies offer long warranties but don’t want the customer to use it. So you can’t get ahold of them, you are put on... |
