| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way I have the LS50 and have the LS50 meta for about two weeks. On the same system and room the meta version is a big step up. It has better clarity and improved soundstage. Both need power and subwoofers. I have a Parasound Halo A21 and two Rel t... | |
| Distortion using Node 2i as streamer with Denafrips Pontus Dac I use a Bluesound node 2i with the Denafrips Ares ii as DAC. They work great together. Maybe it is your internet service. What are you streaming? Is it Tidal, Qobuz? I would try downloading a high quality music file to a flashdrive. Then put... | |
| Adding a sub woofer? I also have a system with Klipsch RP8000F speakers. I have 2 SVS SB 2000 subwoofers with these, and they sound great! I use the pre-out to the subs from my amp as recommended by SVS. | |
| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? I don't understand what kind of BD player is being written about. Please list particular players. I would like to investigate this. | |
| KEF LS50 Meta I also tried my new LS50 Meta's this week. They seem to be a distinct improvement over the LS50, with better clarity and sound stage. I use them with duel REL T/7i subwoofers. They seem to need more amp power than the LS50. I have a Parasound H... | |
| Upgrade DAC recommendation Before you buy a new DAC, turn off the Audio clock trim in the node 2 audio options. This improved the sound quality for my external Denafrips Ares II DAC. | |
| KEF LS50 Meta I have the KEF LS50's, and I am very pleased with them. I am considering upgrading to the Meta. What should I do with my old LS50? Can I use them as surround speakers? They seem to need a lot of power. Where would I sell them? | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial Paul Simon's "Graceland", also sounds very synthetic. This is also a Roy Halee production. I'm amazed how live concerts, even recorded over 50 years ago, sound so more musical than many studio-produced records that sold so well. Am I crazy? | |
| Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good Don't use AVR input. Use the RCA input to your amp. I have the bluesound node 2i and it is very good as a streamer and decent as a DAC. I use it with coax output to Denafrips Ares ii. I have a marantz streamer with heos and the bluesound is mu... | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial Roy Halee produced Simon & Garfunkel both Live in Central Park and BOTW. The Live album is much better in every way. | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial I'm trying not to beat a dead horse. I listened to the LP, the CD, Hi Res on Qobuz and on my two systems with KEF LS50 or Klipsch R8000, Marantz amp or Parasound Halo A21+, Denafrips ares ii, Parasound P6, Marantz CD, Cambridge CD transport. With... | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial I linked to the Roy Halee interview. He says that he banged on a garbage can with a microphone inside when recording "Summer in the City" by the Lovin' Spoonful. Sorry, to me that is not music. | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial I tried my 1985 CD of Bridge Over Troubled Water. It says it's a digitally mastered analog recording CK9914. It definitley is smoother than the hi-resolution version I downloaded from Qobuz, but not natural music. There is low frequency bass th... | |
