| Appropriate Power for 1.7i's Find one of these amps used. Buy it and be very happy. I have listened to this model and it will make your 1.7is sound better than just about any amp can. http://www.tonepublications.com/review/musical-fidelity-m6-500i-integrated-amplifier-2/ | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Let me take the low road. The most inexpensive choice whereby the question becomes "why would you sell these speakers, just keep them for life because they sound so good for the money"?Magnepan MMGs = $599. I have them and will keep them for life.... | |
| Appropriate Power for 1.7i's Count me in the high power/high current camp for the 1.7i. That is a great speaker but it needs power to sound its best. I have the MMGs and have used various amps to include a tube amp. The best match is a Parasound A21.....by a wide margin. I wo... | |
| Line Magnetic 502ca Line Magnetic Audio is one of a few Chinese audio companies making high-end gear that is getting serious attention. My local audio dealer told me about them and stated LM Audio was going head to head with ARC and Shindo. The older brother of the c... | |
| How much does DAC ‘Reality’ cost in 2017? Schiit's marketing strategy is that they will upgrade the dac you buy from them at an attractive (lower) cost than the option of buying a new DAC. I have upgraded my Bifrost to the Uber model, and could step up to the multi-bit for less than $250 ... | |
| Best Tube Amp For Sonus Faber? Or Pass XA-100.5? $6-7,500 Budget, Purchasing Used. There is a guy here on AG who has reviewed quite a few amps. whitecamaro something?He stated he really liked the Pass 250.8 and 350.5. I like the Parasound JC1s which he did like too, just not as much as Pass. FWIW. Good Lucknow I would go SS too... | |
| Need streaming advice I agree with Kalali. I have a Node 2 working as a preamp and music server directly connected to my amp. My controller is an Ipad or Iphone with Tidal, but I can also access a HDD in another room with ripped CD files in AIFF format. The Bluesound D... | |
| How Is MQA Fareing? I don’t know how well MQA is doing. I, like many, see a growing number of companies now offering MQA playback integrated into their streaming devices.When I bought a Bluesound Node 2, it was in the back of my mind to try the MQA playback. But fore... | |
| Experience with Bluesound Node 2 use with external DAC Running Tidal MQA music is surprisingly clear, coherent, and made a huge leap (for me) in musical enjoyment on the BS Node 2. It took me a long time to match album .jpg artwork with albums songs in folders for me to access my local drive of music.... | |
| Experience with Bluesound Node 2 use with external DAC I have never used the Node 2 built in DAC. I have always used my Benchmark or Schiit external DAC, which I have owned for years. But I plan on trying it out.... soon. | |
| Another Vandersteen model 2 question Good luck- let us all know what you decide to do and how it turns out! | |
| Another Vandersteen model 2 question I'm fortunate to live a little over an hour away from Audio Connection and might have the opportunity to try the new models at home. Or I can take my amp and try it at the store.Yeah that is what I would do for sure. If they let you take a pair ... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 I have a Bluesound Node 2. It replaced an older Logitech Squeezebox that was glitchy but worked fine. I like the sound of the Node 2 and with it:1. I can bypass using my Macbook Pro computer to play music stored from Itunes on my HDD. Now I can pl... | |
| Another Vandersteen model 2 question I have the 2CE Sig IIs. I have never heard the 2ci model. But I would like to add that although the Sig IIs sound good with my Line Magnetic tube amp, they sound much better with my solid state Parasound A21. I suspect if one has a higher powered... | |
