| The Audio Alto R101 : A special speaker for SET amplifiers and small acoustic spaces Unlike Terry, we didn’t try a true SET on them, but I can tell you that an 8W Luxman SQ-N150 was able to drive it properly, and a 32W Air Tight was absolutely effortless.They do respond to more power, but more importantly, for the proper frequency... | |
| The Audio Alto R101 : A special speaker for SET amplifiers and small acoustic spaces Guys,As the US representative for Audio Alto, I think Terry really did capture the essence of these amazing little speakers. Thank you, Terry!I must also say he has an impeccable taste in music as well :)If you're at all interested in this speaker... | |
| Bricasti Design M1 SE - W/ LAN Network Streamer - Version 1.51 V. Denafrips Terminator There is an MSB Analog DAC here on Audiogon. Add the network streaming/Renderer module, and you're still below the $10k mark.Even though it's discontinued, it is still a fantastic DAC, and fully modular/upgradable. | |
| Higher End DACs Let me address a few wrong facts mentioned here...The first major streaming DAC was not Lumin, but it was the company they copied, Linn. Linn was the first high-end audio manufacturer to ditch CD players altogether and invest in the streaming DAC ... | |
| Higher End DACs ufguy73,I agree that you should give Vince a call, if anything, just to talk to the man, as he's a fountain of knowledge and useful info.But given your situation, a forum is not the best place for you right now. You should really find a dealer and... | |
| Higher End DACs @ufguy73,I believe a Premier with 2 Discrete Power supplies will be suitable for your system. Add an MSB Reference Transport, if you're that inclined to play discs, or a Innuos Zenith mk3 if you prefer to stream.If you still have any budget left, ... | |
| Higher End DACs @ufguy73,If you do want to spin discs, you can go with either MSB transports. The ProISL interface is really fantastic. MSB themselves always display at the shows with the Transports, and the show reports are usually something like "you don't need... | |
| Higher End DACs @ufguy73,I normally advise people on the appropriate MSB product based on their system. I think it's silly to recommend top of the line stuff if there are components in the person's system that will hold performance back, and thus not give 100% of... | |
| Higher End DACs Dave and Troy,No, Harley has not heard an MSB in his system. dCS yes, MSB no. Valin did, and guess what, he has an MSB In his system now, even though he’s a hard-core vinyl guy (like I am). And neither has heard MSB’s top of the line, imagine that... | |
| Higher End DACs ufguy73,I'm coming a bit late to the thread, and I see that @mikelavigne has already introduced MSB as a contender, being a very satisfied owner himself :) I can say that, having supported MSB for many years, first as an owner and then as a dealer... | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Do look into the Luxman turntable. It's a solid value, and the tonearm is adjustable.It'll work great with either the Lyra or Air TIght PC-1 Coda, and the Luxman phono. | |
| Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW Obsidian black, Satin finish, with extra flakes.... Hmmmm... Wonder where KeithR got that from :) Oh, that’s our pair! hahahahaYou can see it here, it’s badass:https://www.audiostream.com/content/show-2019-wilson-audio-dan-d’agostino-aqua-and-inn... | |
| Music Server - The Search Begins Hi,We do have a demo Zenith mk2, with 1Tb, that's currently looking for a new home :) Contact us for pricing, etc.If you need more storage, the mk3 now comes in up to 4Tb capacity. We can also put together a simple NAS for you, if your collection ... | |
| Y No YG ? co93, This liveliness is one of the remarkable things about the YGs. If you just go by the quoted efficiency, you'd think you'll need a ton of power for them to even start singing. But with modest power, at modest volumes, they're already very liv... | |
| Y No YG ? Hi Erik,Well, I'm sure I can provide you a pair of suitable YG speakers, provided sufficient funds are given in exchange :) Good call on the CAT, BTW. I bet they'll sound great on the YGs.cheers,Alex |
