| Lesson Learned I became entranced with an amp and preamp I had read about on various audio websites on the net some many years ago. Both components had received tremendous and rave reviews. Once I had saved the appropriate cash I took the leap and bought the pai... | |
| Which components are "stupid good"? I had mentioned Magnepan MMGs and I still keep them on my list... but I addThe Parasound A21 power amp and The Bluesound Node 2 The Node 2 can Stream music to multiple Bluesound Players all over the home.It can access and connect to internet radio... | |
| Appropriate Power for 1.7i's The suggestion to get the Bryston 4B St is a very good choice. Those amps are powerful and sweet. One of the best bargains in hi-fi. | |
| Journey ending speakers I plan to treat myself at retirement to these speakers or something similar.Magnepan 3.7i with (added) fast subs or the Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT. I really have not decided on amp/preamp yet. | |
| "10 Recommended Turntables".... That is the worst audio gear list I have ever seen. Crosley??? | |
| Help with PCM, 96khz/24bit, 176.4khz/24bit FLAC, DSD, Double DSD, Quad DSD, MQA, WAV, etc marktomaras,that is a simple and easy list of the file formats, thanks. BTW what do you think of the SOUND of the MQA files from Tidal? I have listened to them and have been impressed. That had been the first time listening to hi-rez music for mys... | |
| 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.... |
