| ATC SCM19A or SCM40 (passive) ATC dealer, go for the 40.s, the 19S are very very good, but there is more magic in the 40's in terms of midrange clarity, image focus and of course bass,A well set up pair of 40's is very special we have a client with a full Naim rig and the soun... | |
| KEF Reference 107/2s + KEF LS50s Dear Mr. Grubb, please give us a call, we talked once about a dac I do believe. Anyway here is an answer to your Ref 1 question, we also have a demo pair of Kef 1 and 3 that might interest you.Actually the Ref 600C does sound quite good with the R... | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Bondmanp, Omni directional speakers are a love hate thing, honestly most people don't like them, if they did everyone would be making such designs at last count I think there are four such designs: MBL, Ohm, German Physics a Walsh clone, and the C... | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Most of what we are going to say is mirrored in other threads to which we have replied here is our take on this subject.There are a lot of good speakers in this price range, you need to identify what are your priorities aside from just bettering y... | |
| Streaming Quality Test - Lumin U1 vs. PS Audio Direcstream DAC vs Bridge II Replying to hemotech comments about dacs sound the same they dont.Dave and TroyAudio Doctor NJ | |
| Streaming Quality Test - Lumin U1 vs. PS Audio Direcstream DAC vs Bridge II Helomech,On a well setup system the differences especially in dacs, should be quite large unlesss both dacs are of a similar quality, then the differences come into play in terms of soundstaging, resolution, musicality and tonality.We sell and dis... | |
| The big DAC decision Notubes there are a ton of dacs that offer the wamth of vinyl.The Aquahifi line of dacs do, so does Metrum, Audio Note and many other dacs that are voiced musically.The Nquist is a lovely dac and we are not saying either one of these dacs is bette... | |
| The big DAC decision The Nyquest is excellent however at $18k it is $5k more then the Lumin and it doesnt have a FPGA archecture which allows for instant upgrading.Like the Nyquest Lumin offers board based upgrades.Nor does it have the superb Lumin app.Bettering Nagra... | |
| The big DAC decision Guys the Lumin is an excellent choice.In one simple elegant box you have everything you need. The X1 is both a streamer and a Dac.It accesses everything you could want and it is backed up by a very large stable company. Sonically you would have to... | |
| Vitus Ri100 with Dyns Good Combo? The A21 is your weak link the JC 5 would be better, however the entire setup of preamp and amp would be bettered by moving into an uber integrated from Vitus, Gryphon or T+A.The Vitus gear does tend to sound warm, which may not be a good thing wit... | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system Jim, hate to disagree with Auxinput, never heard a current crop of Japanese receivers that I would say are musical and I don’t know how Auxinput came to his conclusion, based on hearing them where and under what conditions at a Best Buy with their... | |
| Anyone Here Have Experience With The Krell Phantom III Pre-amp? Go for it | |
| Anyone Here Have Experience With The Krell Phantom III Pre-amp? Actually yes depending on the resolution of the system. The Adcom gear is very decent for the price but there is no way that a design built for that price will have the clarity of a better preamp.The real question is why just the Krell over the zi... | |
| Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2 I do agree that on paper those measurements do make it seem that the Kef Blades do not go that low, the reality is they do. When you feel the pressure that is being generated by 4 of those bass drivers and the bass is locked into the room the Blad... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? uberwaltz you can easily do everything you are talking about you have your wiring scheme a bit wrong if you wanted to use an amplifier like the Synthesis A100t which does have an excellent built in coax spdif dac along with USB. GoldNote ph10 phon... |
