| Volume levels As soon as I read the post I thought...details! And that's what it's really about in this case it seems. Which makes sense to me and I'd agree. Even though the digital version of a piece is based on an analog version, up to a point in time anyw... | |
| "Happy To Be Stuck With You!!!" I think it's fine to repeatedly mention your gear if you're especially happy with it. As expensive as it is a kind of an accomplishment to be that satisfied with what you have. Plus new people to the forum get to hear about it. | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range I don't have experience with them but I've been looking at Legacy lately who use interesting and fairly unique designs. | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers Optical cable break in? C'mon now. Exactly what is there to "break-in"? Light bounces of the insides of a hollow glass fiber. The light isn't energetic enough to affect the material. The rest of it is highly questionable at best and given how... | |
| Transport Recommendations I'll second @parker65310. I have the Audiolab. Sounds, works, and looks great! Very inexpensive for what it is. | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers If the sensitivity is what another poster mentioned (85) AND they are 4 ohms I'd go a little more power if you really want to get the SPL up with very low distortion.

| Is anybody using the new Afterdark music server? Its just a computer. Far from a purpose built piece of audio gear. Yeah it's purpose is to play music but it's a general purpose device in the end which means much of the architecture is wasted and not designed specifically for playing music. T... | |
| Denafrips Pontus 2 Price increases Good news is it wound up being $1700! He he...I wouldn't mind having my feelings hurt to find out it's NOT going to cost $700 more. | |
| any current integrated amps in market have great dacs? I'd like to chime in on the AVR part of the discussion above. I'd have to agree as a person who has a little of everything that given the budget, selling price and design parameters that exist with AVR's you can't really touch esp higher end Int ... | |
| pricing Classe SSP 25 (Esoteric DV50S) Looks like the preamp's value is around $600 and the Esoteric $2200 from a quick search. Don't know what model the amp is but you can just Google "[model here] Values" to see some info. Good luck! |
