| Modern Bluegrass If you like Nickel Creek have a listen to Sarah Jarosz Follow me Down - great production really good album.Punch Brothers would likely be a good one to check out as well.Pretty much anything by David Grisman sounds great and has excellent musician... | |
| Cable Between Node 2i and Chord Qutest? You can't go USB out of a Node far as I know.I had really good sound running a Black Cat Silverstar 75 between a Node 2 and a 2qute I'm sure it would work well in your system as well. | |
| Something better than Marantz PM7000N at around $1000? I've heard the PM6006 and I'd take the Yamaha R-N803 over the Marantz any day of the week. Haven't heard the 7000N can't comment on it but I would expect the Yamaha to compare favourably. As mentioned the Yamaha is based on the AS801 integrated ... | |
| Something better than Marantz PM7000N at around $1000? Not sure about better as I haven't heard both but probably equally as good the Yamaha R-N803 is definitely worth having a look at.Supposedly it's the same or almost the same almost the same amp section as the AS801 which is well regarded and it ha... | |
| Recommend speakers for Hegel H190 From what I understand KEF and Harbeth have recently been using Hegel amps to demo at shows so definitely worth looking at those brands.I heard a Hegel amp running with a pair of Totem tribe towers at a show which was really impressive - the Totem... | |
| LS50W Is the KEF App really that awful? I've used the app on the LSX which I assume is the same and it's pretty weak for sure.The LS50 are Roon ready now far as I know I'd try that option before buying an external streamer should work great. | |
| Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? Metrum is definitely worth looking at the Octave is the most organic DAC that I've experienced. Pretty sure there is a model with volume control not sure if it's in your budget or not but definitely worth looking into. | |
| What is the better sounding turntable: Project 1XCarbon or the Rega P3 ?? It'll be the Rega but most seem to suggest avoiding whatever the matching Rega cartridge might be and go elsewhere for that piece of the puzzle. | |
| Seeking a Tidal full MQA streaming DAC There is a user on this form who bought the clock for his NT-505 and he said there was an appreciable improvement.I just sold my Bluesound Node 2i and Schitt Yggdrasil in favor of the Teac - no doubt the streamer was the bottleneck but regardless ... | |
| Cartridge Change Nagaoka and Dynavector are both said to play well on a Rega table - I'd look at whatever fits in your budget from those brands.Dynavector is all MC but they do make high output that should work for you.Rega carts are just OK I am running an Apheta... | |
| What will audiophiles do Different? I would spend more time in shops and less time on the internet and find a dealer who knows his stuff.Lots of missteps and money lost buying and selling gear not being happy, wasting money on tweaks etc. I don't want to be told what to buy but sit... | |
| Mid Range Streamer DAC recommendation help requested! I just sold my Bluesound Node 2i->Schitt Yggdrasil combo due to the fact that once I put the Teac NT-505 in line I didn't want to switch back it's simply a great sounding piece of gear. I've had a lot of DAC's and it's definitely a winner and ... | |
| Roon: is it just a pretty face for browsing music? BlueOS is definitely the best free interface I've used you should definitely give Roon a trial if you are finding it lacking.Upsampling makes it more than just a browser and I did find the sound quality to be superior versus running the Lumin app ... | |
| Laid back DAC under $800? If you can find a Metrum Octave it'll fit the bill. Great DAC very organic sound. | |
| Bent the stylus on my Elyse 2 cartridge The Nagaoka MP110 supposedly works great on a P3 as would a higher Nagaoka if you want to go there.The Dynavector 10x5 is also supposed to be a perfect match.I've heard the Planar 3 with the Elys and it can definitely easily be bettered. I'd cons... |
