| NAD C368 and KEF LS50’s I've heard this combo and would not recommend it - the new hybrid digital NAD amps don't seem to play well with the LS50. The now discontinued 50 Watt class AB integrated they made(can't remember the model) was a much better match even though it ... | |
| Rega P8 with Alpheta 2? If it helps I'm running an RP10 with an Apheta 2 and they work extremely well together. I honestly still miss my Lyra Delos which my now ex girlfriend busted the cantilever off of so there are other great options out there but I have no real desi... | |
| DENON, ONYKO, MARANTZ I have owned a couple Denon receivers which were nice nothing wrong with them at all but the Anthem MRX300(bottom model) I have wipes the floor with any other receiver I had prior. Crisp, punchy sound but not harsh - much better in particular at ... | |
| Bluetooth Speakers I bought a Riva Turbo X on sale it sounds quite good but it's big and bulky to lug around. My FoxL always comes along for the ride when I'm travelling and I'm always amazed by the sound that comes out of it versus it's relative size. The FoxL wi... | |
| BDP with analog outs The Yamaha players had analog outs - now discontinued I believe but you could poke around and see if a dealer might have one left. | |
| NAD D3045 vs NAD C268 for KEF LS50 - which amp for greatest synergy with KEF LS50? If you're thinking NAD the now discontinued C326bee will drive a pair of LS50'S to good effect. It would appear on paper that the amp is too lean on power but it drives them nicely. It's also said to have some extra oomph on the bottom end which... | |
| Recommendation for DAC under$1k with Luxman integrated and Harbeth 30.1 The Chord 2qute is criminally under priced right now - definite winner and it would mate well with what you have. | |
| Affordable Streamer with great Internet Radio, Tidal, Android support? Bluesound is definitely a good option - I have found the app control to work really well, the black background is easy on the eyes and the app tells you what type of file you're looking at. I've only used it on an Android device a couple of times... | |
| Mission 761i Speakers I remember them well - they have a tweeter in between 2 identical drivers and they have a really quick fun sound.I've been looking for a pair to use as a Center for my Mission 753's, I'm using a single 760i at the moment.Nice little pair of booksh... | |
| Any thoughts/experience with Rega Aphelion or Apheta 2 MC cartridges? I am running an RP10 with an Apheta 2 and they definitely work really well together - tracks well, good bottom end, smooth but fast sound. That said, I still miss my Lyra Delos which had an unfortunate accident with my now ex-girlfiend(yeah it's ... | |
| System Upgrades for Streaming I'd start with a Bluesound Node 2i which will give you Tidal lossless and MQA capabilities as well as Bluetooth and Airplay etc. Not a huge outlay considering the rest of your system.There is a fair bit of Grateful Dead now on Tidal in MQA so def... | |
| Looking for a portable player-decent but not crazy $$ A used Pono would be the ticket - I use one primarily in the car but was on a plane awhile back listening to the Pono and the battery died(you'll need an Anker USB charger) so I switched to running my phone(FLAC files on the Onkyo HF player) with ... | |
| Which speakers for a Yamaha A-S2000 The new KEF R3's seem to really like Yamaha amplification - the bottom end is respectable but they are still bookshelves though. Definitely worth having a listen and a big step up from the LS50. | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana I can't think of a worse place to start to find good music.Some good suggestions here for sure - Gillian Welch, Sarah Jarosz, Wood Brothers, Barr Brothers(more Canadiana maybe?), Jason Isbell, Kasy and Clayton, I'm With Her etc If you like the gen... | |
| Percentage of mp3 vs FLAC on Tidal? The source that I'm using is a Squeezebox Touch - I did find some information stating that when Ickstream was being used the app would indicate that a file was an MP3 incorrectly when it was really FLAC coming through - I'm using the newer Tidal a... |
