| No love for Legacy Audio twoleftears honestly this is pretty much the only forum I have paid much attention to so I can’t say about other forums. It simply occurred to me that Legacy is not as popular as SF or Magico or several others on this forum and I wondered why. Rea... | |
| No love for Legacy Audio Ozzy how long ago did you own the Focus? | |
| No love for Legacy Audio Ok my bad. The French speakers are not 16k. They are about the same as signatures. Sorry. | |
| No love for Legacy Audio One other comment. The French speakers that are mentioned above are roughly $16300 which is not too short of double the price for the signatures. I would think they should sound at least somewhat better. | |
| No love for Legacy Audio Interesting comments. Seems like I may be late to the this forum party as it appears its heyday is in the past. Unfortunately. soix I think Feinstein wrote a very nice review on the signature. He said they were the finest sounding speaker that ev... | |
| System bottleneck? ghdprentice AR preamps have always been on my bucket list along with BAT and CJ. I have not give Sonus Faber much thought. Maggie’s get a lot of ink in this forum and seem to be very popular. When choosing my current preamp, I had tried Rogue RP-7... | |
| System bottleneck? Thanks for the advice. I have been thinking about a DAC and streamer. I don’t listen to vinyl much so I’m not too concerned about a tt and phono preamp. Also when I stream through HEOS it does sound substantially better than my vinyl does on my re... | |
| System bottleneck? Streaming over HEOS might be even better. Is that because I am actually using the marantz as the streamer and not the iPhone? | |
| System bottleneck? It seems to me streaming over iPhone is marginally better. Not a huge difference just a bit more resolution and soundstage. I attribute that to better files being played over streaming compared to mp3s…? | |
| System bottleneck? Thanks russ69. I also wanted to mention that I use the HEOS app on my phone to run streaming services like tidal, etc. It seems the sound quality is very much like playing the phone app for tidal. Should there be a difference? | |
| System bottleneck? Ok. What I am doing is streaming internet to phone and then using Airplay 2 to connect to marantz. Another thing I do is play mp3 files from a flash drive connected to marantz. I also play hd radio through marantz. I do not use a computer or have... | |
| System bottleneck? Tablejocky No doubt! | |
| System bottleneck? artemus_5 I guess I did not think there would be much of a difference whether I streamed through phone or directly on the marantz. I have not looked into going direct but I will figure out how. I guess I also thought I needed an app to stream fro... | |
| System bottleneck? I knew I would get that question. I cannot say there is anything in particular but like a lot of us I was just looking for that little bit of extra. For example I thought someone might tell be to get an outboard DAC that is better than the one in ... | |
| System bottleneck? So are you saying I could use a better streaming device than the marantz? |
