| Kudos to Dan Wright of Modwright I bought a used LS100 here on Audiogon and had some questions about it. Dan didn’t have to, but he was very patient and helpful in answering some questions I had. Not to mention, the LS100 is a wonderful piece of gear. I also like that he’s here i... | |
| Speakers for a small room I have a pair of Canton Vento Reference 9.2 DC speakers that I have really liked in both my bedroom and a spare room about the size of your room. They are rear ported and will need a little space behind them. They produce a surprising amount of... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Last night it was Them Featuring (a young) Van Morrison. G L O R I A! | |
| Is the Music Hall MMF 2.2 a good table for an entry level table? I have 3 Music Hall turntables (including the 2.2) and a Project RPM 9 that use the fishing line / weight anti-skate and they don't fall off unless you move the turntable, hit them with the cover, etc. If yours is falling off with normal use, I'd... | |
| Buying my 1st new LP in 42 years..Suggestions? Don't do it, you might be opening the flood gates to boxes of LPs all over your house and having your family and friends think you've turned into a hoarder! Oh wait, that's me...If you like Roger Waters, pick up Amused to Death from Analogue Prod... | |
| Bass audition for your system.... HSU has files you can download to test your bass. It includes white noise at different frequencies and some orchestral recordings that can make it feel like your house is trying to tear itself apart with the right subwoofers - http://files.hsures... | |
| Manley Chinook or Any comparable Preamp? I've been super happy with my Chinook. I've also had Jolida JD9 and Musical Surroundings Phonomena Nova phono stages. The Chinook is in another class, much quieter than the JD9 and more detailed and dynamic than either the Jolida or Phonomena. | |
| PC+Dac or Streamer I have yet to have any issues with my BlueSound Node 2 either losing my library or dropping out on music, but I've only had it a couple of months. I have a strong wireless router and a wireless access point set up in my rack with a 4 port Etherne... | |
| Anybody else using AV880x as 2 channel preamp? I used my AV8801 for two channel listening for quite a while, then added a Modwright LS100 preamp with HTBP. Wish I would have done that a long time ago, I didn't realize how much of the music I was missing with the AV8801. Not that it sounded b... | |
| PC+Dac or Streamer For me it's as much about convenience as sound quality. I have a streamer in my office, but I hardly ever use it because it's a lot easier to play Tidal, Spotify, files from my network, etc. from my desktop since I'm sitting in front of it alread... | |
| Best Phone Stage for under $1,000.000 I make no claims as to it being the "best", but you can find used Musical Surroundings Nova Phonomena units for well below $1K. It's a very neutral unit, very quiet, and has a ton of loading and gain settings. I also like the Jolida JD9 in that ... | |
| Integrated amplifier search I have a Peachtree Nova 300. If you want all the bells and whistles, a lot of power, a small and attractive unit that sounds good, it's worth checking out. I recently purchased a Heed Elixir, and am very happy with it. No bells or whistles othe... | |
| Audeze LCD-3 Over Ear Headphones I have LCD-2 and LCD-XC and have listened to LCD-4. No experience with the LCD-3. The LCD-4 are the best headphones I have ever listened to. I haven't listened to all of the TOTL headphones, but I liked them better than Focal Utopia and Sony ... | |
| Mr. Obvious (?) - digital source (burn) I've been slowly copying my CD collection to a dedicated hard drive on my network. It's more for convenience sake than sound quality. It's much easier to scroll through a list on the screen of my phone or tablet than dig through piles of discs. I... | |
| Warm, lush and dark ... Dac up to 1.2K The original post is over a year old. Guessing the OP has already made their choice. |
