| Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail It sounds like the DAC in the Hegel is no slouch. I totally agree today’s DAC’s can easily compete with analog and a lot more convenient. Would have to know a lot more about the OP, PC, but I’d be surprised if it’s up to par with a really good st... | |
| Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail I just watched a review on your Hegel H590 and it looks like a nice unit. Maybe it’s your speakers and agree ProAc’s might be a good choice but I’d stop for a minute and ask have you done any room treatment? On the Darko YouTube review in the back... | |
| amp to buy? Parasound Halo HINT 6 Integrated Amplifier. Probably not going to find a used one yet. If you’re just starting out this will be a beast for you and last you years. | |
| ARC ls 25 mkii cd/dac input too hot? Are you running balance from your Bryston to the ARC? If you are, try a single ended cable to see if that helps. You mentioned running a couple CDP’s directly to the ARC so this probably isn’t the issue as I’m guessing they don’t have balanced ou... | |
| Counterpoint SA3000 vs. Audible Illusions Modulus 3A Had an Counterpoint SA3.1 a few years back; it was ok. Later I went to a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 which was better, then to a ModWright SWL 9.0 SE which smoked them both... not even close. Can’t speak for the AL but I know you get a great phono pream... | |
| Power Cable for Yggdrasil DAC I’ve not heard the Yggy but agree above WyWires are wonderful power cables and I have a couple Silver Juice II standards and HC models, plus a Platinum HC I just received today. Currently I use/prefer Nordost Vishnu for my digital equipment but th... | |
| Magnepan for Background Listening Any model and vintage of Maggies will excel for background music easily. I have a pair of MG1’s in the conference room of my office that will blow your mind for their age. If you have the equipment and space for them, go for it. | |
| Difference between Bluesound Node 2i and Cambridge CXN v2 I changed out the PC on my Vault 2 and it made a noticeable improvement. Built my own and took ten minutes. | |
| Does anyone know if Michael Farnsworth, founder of Talon Audio, is still around? Reference Audio Video in Iowa I believe owns or Talon now - Todd Guerrero. | |
| Denafrips Terminator Purchase? Duty? Noticed the other day Powell Audio didn’t have any Denafrips on the web site and was surprised by a comment Mike made about the Ares how he could care less about entry level products. I’m sure when Alvin and others watched that YouTube video they ... | |
| Difference between Bluesound Node 2i and Cambridge CXN v2 Can’t speak for the CA CXN, but using my Vault 2, going through the DAC in my CA 851C is far better then the DAC in the Vault. The Bluesound DAC isn’t bad but I wouldn’t be surprise if the CXN better. I’m sure some are going to throw in the Node d... | |
| Speaker stands brand? They look a bit homemade but a good job at that. You’ve probably already looked at Sound Anchors; if you haven’t, you should.http://soundanchors.com/products/2064/compact-7 | |
| Kimber 12tc incompatibility with ayre my-r twenty Curious why not set your amps behind or beside your speakers and run a balanced cable from your preamp to your amps if you have a balance preamp? Yes, your amps are going to be out in the open but they’re beautiful. | |
| Audio Research Dac 2 Vs the Audio Research Dac 7 Owned a CD2 player years ago so I’m guessing the DAC 2 is similar. I imagine between the DAC 2 and 7 there’s a substantial price difference. Curious why these are your only two options? Be good to share your budget as there’s probably a lot of un... | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? First player I purchased new was a Yamaha CDX-2 that died about three to four years after I bought it. Next came a NAD 5000 Monitor Series which was definitely an improvement, then an Audio Research CD 2 and currently a Cambridge Audio 851C that I... |
