| Schiit Bifrost Multibit option WillieI usually go stock on things till a month or so., but I tired a shunyata and a pangea on it to see how responsive it is to upgrades, and they make a difference, but I'm gonna let it burn in Stock till I settle into what I'm looking to improv... | |
| Simple question, best sounding inexpensive DAC. I liked the Arcam rDac alot when I owned it, and the new one is supposed to be even better. Sounded very different than what most consider digital...relaxed and easy on the ears. I've seen alot of rDac's on ebay and craigslist lately for $250ish... | |
| Schiit Bifrost Multibit option Just got the bifrost multibit. Had no experience with the original bifrost/uber. Came from a John Kenny jkdac32 which I enjoyed, but the battery gave up the ghost.Keep in mind, this is after a week of ownership, so this is more impressions, rath... | |
| Best preamp 2k or under, new or used I ended up with an eastern electric avant. REALLY digging the music coming out of this thing! I also bought an arcam a31 for nothing, and used it for a while. Both are really nice. | |
| NHT 2.5i VS NHT Classic 4 Glad you're enjoying them again. I left my 2.5i's in storage, and miss them sometimes.But yeah, keep your eye out. Classic 4's have been coming up super cheap lately. And, they're way better than their going price. | |
| Classe ca 150 vs wyred for sound st250 You'll like it, I'm sure, and your energy bill will thank you :-) | |
| NHT 2.5i VS NHT Classic 4 I ran the 2.5s with a w4s st500. Sounded pretty good. Keep us posted :-) | |
| Classe ca 150 vs wyred for sound st250 Can't say for the w4s 250, but I owned the st500, and the ca150, and the st500 was much better. More open, clearer, better bass, more articulate without getting hashy. The ca150 wasn't so good. Not bad, but a step down from the Bryston 3bst it rep... | |
| Shunyata Venom 3 question The 15a iec plug looks like the connector that would plug into a computer, or most audio gear. 20a plus have horizontal plugs for amps or power conditioners with higher amp ratings, and are not backwards compatible with 15a connectors.Tried all th... | |
| NHT 2.5i VS NHT Classic 4 You won't blow them. You'd have to run them with that amp for hours @ full tilt for that to happen. More likely to blue them running them off a 20 watt tube amp @ full volume. Lots of clean power never hurt any speaker. | |
| JPLAY - It aint subtle Agreed with everything said here.I run it off a Mac mini with bootcamp in Windows 7, and it really blows away every other playback engine I have encountered, on Mac or Windows.Jplay was probably the equal of upgrading my DAC. I actually discovered... | |
| Shunyata Venom PS8 Power Distributor? The first question...I have not. I'd be curious to hear if someone did. Unfortunately, for Shunyata, there are 2 products that cost less, act similarly, and have lots of good said about them.http://www.b-p-t.com/ppc-pure-power-center.htmlhttp://ww... | |
| NHT 2.5i VS NHT Classic 4 Had the same problem with the 2.5i (jealous of that mahogony finish you had Polarin!) The Classic 4's (and 3's I have in my bedroom), are the first NHT speakers I'd recommend to anyone, not just people who like NHT.People would hear my 2.5i's, and... | |
| Entire system cable recommendation Went the one house approach recently, and did Acoustic Zen through my whole system, and it never sounded better.It was inspired by a friend who went Audience AU24 through his whole system, and it sounded fantastic, too.He uses a Thiel 2.4 system, ... | |
| NHT 2.5i VS NHT Classic 4 Late to the party, but since other people read these forums besides the OP, I'll answer.I've owned both, still own both, and dry up with the same amp and preamp, the Classic 4s obliterate the 2.5I's. Similar house sounds, with an up tilted tonal b... |
