| Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not Nice I'm really enjoying my 40.2's - took awhile to get the placement right in the room but once you get them dialed in they're fantastic.They seem to play well to all genres of music better than I expected and I really like the way they portray t... | |
| Any good shelf systems out there? Pair a Yamaha CRX-N470 with a pair of PSB P5 or whatever other reasonably efficient bookshelves you want to use and you have a killer little shelf system.Probably more than a few hundred but it'll last the test of time.Pretty sure Denon still has ... | |
| Denon Turntable DP 15F runs backwards ! Just wait for the effects to wear off you'll be fine... | |
| Rega Brio Replacement Be careful - the Brio is tough to beat for the price.Why not add a streamer like SONOS or Bluesound and keep the amp?I believe Audiolab has a small all in one unit that might suit you or NAD has a couple of small footprint amps with Bluetooth like... | |
| Does anyone know if Bluesound Node 2i Streamer/Dac is being updated soon. Digital is constantly becoming old technology no point in trying to keep up.That said I doubt they'll refresh the Node 2i for a couple years as it's a great device and must be selling well for them so they'll likely leave well enough alone for awh... | |
| Kef LS50 Wireless - optimal configuration The Bluesound Node 2i would be an obvious upgrade but I totally agree that you should move to lossless streaming first.The Connect sounds pretty good via it's optical output into an external dac on it's own. | |
| Who has the Technics SL-1500c turntable? I've heard it through it's built in Phono preamp and it sounds great - it's also built like a tank very solid build quality.I don't think you can go wrong on this one great table and it has 2 sets of outputs so you can always upgrade the Phono pre... | |
| Back Where I Should Be; The Acoustic Zen Adagio, Round 2 Nice - my last "best speaker under $5,000" quest lead me to the Adagio and I greatly enjoyed my time with them.I'd love to hear a pair of the Cresendos at some point people seem to rave about that speaker as well.The Adagio is a fun and relatively... | |
| LampizatOr Amber (original version) There is an "MQA external DAC" toggle switch in the audio settings on the Bluesound - might be worth checking to make sure it's off. | |
| Upgrade cartridge or turntable? I'd throw a Dynavector 20 XL or whatever suits your budget on the table - the Planar 4 can definitely handle a big cartridge upgrade no problem. | |
| Qutest vs Yggdrasil Analog 2 vs Gungnir Multibit Not exactly but I went from 2qute->Yggdrasil and they were definitely completely different animals. The Chord was laser sharp and detailed and had a very modern audiophile sound, the Yggy in comparison is definitely more laid back and seems to... | |
| Optical or coax? Generally speaking Coax is the way to go for audio because it's a simpler transfer of information.As I understand it optical takes an electrical signal and converts it to light and then back to an electrical signal so there is more of a chance of ... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for a NAD C368 integrated amp I've heard the C368 on a pair of LS50's and would not recommend it.The PSB X2T are a perfect match for your amp and yes the new Alphas will also work great as well.Monitor Audio or Dali might be worth looking into as well at that price point... | |
| Outdoor Networked Speakers If you like Bluesound grab a Powernode 2i and wire a pair of outdoor speakers and you're good to go.The larger PSB outdoors sound fantastic if you have a good amp to drive them Bluesound should be a perfect match. | |
| How many of you believe in MQA? I've done the A/B twice with MQA - once with my Node 2 analog out vs Chord 2qute and once with a Node 2i analog out vs Schitt Yggdrasil and the outboard DAC easily won both times playing at 24/96.It's an easy A/B to set up see what your ears like.... |
