| Dynaudio C2 with Plinius 9200 I think Plinius 9200 will drive these speakers purely from power perspective. Not optimally, but it will. I would not worry about that from the get-go. But in a long run, you should know that Dynaudio speakers like power. Does Plinius mate well wi... | |
| 2 Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II IC's too much? Anton, what speakers do you have? | |
| 2 Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II IC's too much? It will be too much based on my experience. I had MatrixII/SilverII, MatrixII/Matrix II, SilverII/Silver II and prefered MatrixII/SilverII combo.brightness was not even an issue when using 2 pairs of Silver II. well, it was but not the main issue.... | |
| Why Mac Mini Over Slim Systems Products? Or just get another DAC. MHDT Havana has USB input. | |
| Why Mac Mini Over Slim Systems Products? run Mac Mini via USB cable into your DAC. I am doing just that and the sound is very nice. As a matter of fact it's very smooth and not harsh at all. I am not missing a conventional transport. I rip all the music I care about in AIFF and stuff I a... | |
| Time to change. But to what? Mmakshak, thanks but unfortunately that is not an option for me. However, with the Dyns I get pretty good resolution at low levels now. Better than what I had with the B&Ws. | |
| Hi End rack really deliver? One of the best looking stands, at least to me, are the new SolidSteel HS stands.I have all my components on SolidSteel Series 5 stand and I have heard a clear sound improvement going from VTI to SolidSteel. BTW I have the spikes on Target Spike S... | |
| ARC Ref 1, 2, 3 Preamps I had REF1. At the time the source was ARC CD3MkII. System ran balanced. I found the REF1 nice in some ways but it was a bit too colored for my listening tastes. I tried the original tubes and the set of NOS Amperex and eventually sold it. Things ... | |
| Wilson Sophia2s demand better than AYRE V5xe, so.. Johny,please don't take this the wrong way, but how can you be sure that what you heard you can attirbute to the amps and not to the speakers. not defending Ayre in any way, but just curious. Because you did hear different speakers with different ... | |
| Please recommend hearing protection thanks!!!I think we'll try the cheaper solutions first. For the price this would be an easy try. | |
| ARC REF 3 or MBL 5011 - what is better buy? contact Tboooe. he had both preamps. I am sure he wouldn't mind sharing his thoughts. REF3 is a good preamp and I think if you are listening to a lot of large scale orchstral it may serve you well. Tboooe kept MBL. But I believe his taste in music... | |
| Wilson Sophia2s demand better than AYRE V5xe, so.. oh yeah...if you get the 6.5 you will probably like it a lot. I'd be interested to know your results. | |
| Wilson Sophia2s demand better than AYRE V5xe, so.. I think you should also not exclude the option of keeping the Ayre amp and just replacing your preamp with a tube linestage. If you can demo tube preamps in your system, e.g Audio Research LS-26 or REF3, or VTL TL6.5, it may well be worth it. | |
| No CD with works by Alexander N. Skrjabin last name is spelled as Scriabin, not Scrjabin. There are plenty CDs on amazon. | |
| I'm new to this. Critique my tentative plan? how about this:Bel Canto DAC3(built in preamp section with nicely implemented volume control, USB, Coax, Toslink and balanced inputs). Should run you around $1500McCormack DNA-1Deluxe.Or, Havana tube USB dac, Sonic Frontiers Line-1SE tube preamp, ... |
