| Clear difference between Harbeth 30.2 & Super HL5 Plus? Hello rja,I am the Harbeth dealer in the Dallas area and can expound on this some. When it comes to their lineup, I view them as an extended family. You have the only child in the P3ESR. Then you have brothers in the 30.2 and 40.2, and yet anot... | |
| Have you ever downgraded deliberately? A system is like a sports team - you don't necessarily want the best players you can get, you want the best team. As you move up your game, finding the right pieces to give you the best synergy within a system can be a challenge. Perhaps you don'... | |
| Wireworld Im a Wireworld dealer as well but have not had the silver eclipse speaker cable yet. If it follows the improvements via the interconnects, you can expect a cleaner sound with improved high frequency extension. The soundstage would also blossom a b... | |
| ANT (Audiophiles of North Texas) Bump. Here is a rather complete list of gear. It may not all be hooked up, but if you are dying to hear something, we can make it happen. North Star - USB DAC 32, Intenso, Supremo, Venti, Blue Diamond CD Player, Blue Diamond Integrated AmpRosso... | |
| Sorry redundant Best DAC under 600. The Marantz HD-DAC1 is a nice full-featured DAC that you might be able to find used in your price range. I'm not sure why it doesn't get more attention than it does - I actually found it to perform slightly better than the SA-14s1 as a stand-alon... | |
| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. Congrats on the purchase! | |
| anyone heard Mitsubishi Da A 30 amp I've owned this and preferred it over similarly priced Parasound, Rotel and other big name brand amps found on the used market. Keep in mind at their age you will want to consider an overhaul as they are about 35 years old at this point. | |
| 'Complete' modern system for $1000 If you can find it used, consider the iFi Stereo 50 and a pair of Polk T50. It has AptX bluetooth and the T50 are akin to the AJ Pioneers in spirit, but better overall. Fry's sometimes sells them for half off to make the deal even better.I think... | |
| Advise on book shelf speakers less then $750 Polk LSiM 703. They definitely have their own flavor but they are a fun speaker that are a joy to listen to. The Threshold gear should pair well with their darker presentation.I might be coming into a pair (as well as the 707) via trade-in soon if... | |
| Auralic vs Aurender jon I have the Aries G1 and use the USB out to a North Star Design Venti. There are no issues. jack is correct that there are two USB ports on the G1. | |
| Auralic vs Aurender My experiences suggest that the AURALiC app produces better sound than Roon within the AURALiC product line. I ran into several issues in Roon - the biggest offenders being a hot/clipped signal and marginalized soundstage. When I used a differen... | |
| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. The streaming transport is still a VITAL part of the streaming chain and not addressing that aspect is a surefire way to get bad sound. You also can't simply get a NAS and DAC and have sound - you NEED that streamer. Some DAC's are Roon endpoint... | |
| ANT (Audiophiles of North Texas) Bump. If you're free that day bring some beers and enjoy some tunes. | |
| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. That is my experience. The margin is VERY slight but noticeable. Over the years the delta has shrunk considerably and I imagine in a few more years it will be an even playing field in the majority of applications. For me, even as a dealer where... | |
| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. The OP is using an integrated so in order to get tubes into a preamp stage she will need a completely new approach to what she already had. Also, while I am a believer in streaming and do it 99% of the time, there still is a small performance dif... |
