| In need of some Amplifier advice. Is therereally any point in it with my current setup? If it were me, what would I do? Decide what I want....and get just that. If you think you might like the EMT speaker, have a listen to see if you do. But fair warning, those are good speakers not home theater speakers. You may not like the sound f... | |
| In need of some Amplifier advice. Is therereally any point in it with my current setup? I would start with speakers. Listen to as many as you can. Once you find ones you like and determine they will sound good in your space now you will have the starting point for the rest of your gear. IMHO. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable taters starts many discussions for the kick of getting people to argue. He almost never responds to his own posts. Just look at his many, many posts!!! This post was for his own amusement. | |
| Streamer vs computer? I have a Node 2 and really like it. But I have to say it fits my budget. I cannot afford to buy a $3000 streamer and $2500 DAC. Also I wanted to get away from using my computer to play music. For me, it was not designed to be a music player, like ... | |
| Am I dreaming? Esoteric F-05??? | |
| Chinese products ++ What chayro said. Also. I have a Line Magnetic Audio amp. Very well made and sounds fantastic. It is easy to think all products from China are of poor quality, not all are. But I think resale value could be poor since there exist some many prec... | |
| Streamer vs computer? I am pretty sure you need an MQA device to finish the unfolding of the MQA titles on Tidal. With a Mac you can get 96/24 kHZ res, but with MQA certified device (streamer or dac) you can get 192/24 kHZ res. Of course there are many, many people tha... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale? Not knocking RV for his choice to sell on Music Direct. It seems it might be a pain for a dealer to show a pair of 3a Sigs and later have the customer buy online because he can get it a slightly lower price??!! I would add I might never listened t... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale? Yeah that seems likely since he has not chimed in. What a shame that people will do that. Vandersteen has, what seems, a very good reputation. The only thing I had heard negative was from my local dealer in Cleveland who felt slighted in a big way... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range ctsooner makes a very good point about subs. It is better IMHO to get a speaker with good bass designed and engineered into it..from the start. Much harder to integrate external sub later. Vandersteen does this early design well, and even their ex... | |

| Best standalone music server? Here is another idea. If you like it fine, if not okay too. I had bought a Bluesound Node 2 to add to my stereo. I already had a quality CD player and many, many CDs. So I wanted to rip all my CDs to a NAS to play via the Node 2 AND stream music v... | |
| Tidal, Deezer Can anyone tell me what the fascination is with "downloading files"?I guess owning music? Is better than streaming music? I find that by exploring hundreds of artists on the fly and listening is very enjoyable.I don't see any benefit to building m... | |
| Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590 Your description indicates you favor the Rotel. I think many very good preamps do not have a toroidal transformer so therefore I don’t think it is a con. Go with what you want.....There are many DACs that don't measure well, but sound terrific!?!?... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Maybe PL has softened their oversight of the Chinese factory where the amps are made. There have been investigations of factory workers swapping parts in the audio industry. There is a black market for parts. Needless to say, PL should give good c... |
