| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? How about a used pair of Legacy Focus. They will provide plenty of "slam", are very efficient, beautiful to look at, and have some serious bass output down low. | |
| Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49 I agree with tablejockey all the way. I have owned many great solid state amps, including Pass labs, and a fine tube amp like the Primaluna Dialogue HP will simply give you more "realism", and suck you into the music for hours on end....You will h... | |
| SYLVANIA 6SN7 GTB tall bottle tubes and short bottle The tall bottle Sylvania 6Sn7GTB is a better sounding tube than the short (standard) bottle version. Not quite as good as the more expensive "bad boy" Sylvanias, but very close. | |
| Listen...chair I have never regretted the purchase of my Stressless chair for one second. One of the best items in my music room. Everyone who sits in it never wants to get up...just like listening to a great tube amp! | |
| Stereophile & Mytek Brooklyn - Better than it Measures Erik, I agree with your assessment of the sound of the FR filter on the Brooklyn. It does accentuate the leading edge of notes and attack more than the SR or MPH filters. If I am listening to a forward or edgy recording, I like the MPH or SR filte... | |
| Stereophile & Mytek Brooklyn - Better than it Measures I have discovered that the MPH filter and the FR filter both sound very similar, but the SR filter does roll of the very upper highs a bit. This was confirmed by the Stereophile tests, which found the SR filter reduces the highs by 3db. | |
| Stereophile & Mytek Brooklyn - Better than it Measures 5.5mm x 2.5mm CCTV camera DC Power Male Jack Connectors If you search for the above description on E-Bay, you will find them. I would suggest not using a heavy gauge wire for your leads, and keep them as short as you can. After spending over $100 ... | |
| Stereophile & Mytek Brooklyn - Better than it Measures Yes, the Astron VS-12M is the variable voltage and amperage version of the RS 12A that I am using on my Brooklyn. I am also using a VS-12M on my Microrendu with similar results. I have a local audiophile friend who I just visited with yesterday, w... | |
| Stereophile & Mytek Brooklyn - Better than it Measures I tried 3 different power supplies on the Brooklyn....An HDPlex 100, a Keces ,and one "non-audiophile" one, which is built like a tank and quite affordable... An Astron RS-12A. I found the HDPlex and the Keces were quite "soft" sounding, and did ... | |
| Stereophile & Mytek Brooklyn - Better than it Measures I have owned a Brooklyn DAC for around 5 months now, and agree that it sounds excellent on all resolution sources. I am using the variable pre-amp output to drive my amp directly, and it does a great job. I urge anyone who owns one to try powering... | |
| Best Sounding Computer Audio Player For PC I agree fully with sbank. I am also using the Microrendu in my system, and find it to be sonically superior to running the music through a PC or Mac. A fantastic solution for my digital audio needs for under $700. Save your money and spend it on a... | |
| Best Sounding Computer Audio Player For PC Are you using a NAS drive to store your music on, or a standard hard drive? | |
| Steinway Lyngdorf Systems & speakers I heard their latest affordable, 2170 integrated amp at the RMAF, and was very disappointed with it all around. The room correction did work properly as described, but things sounded boring, 2-D, and lacking dynamics. It was certainly not the fau... | |
| Streamers - Cocktail Audio & Mytek Brooklyn The Mytek Brooklyn is not a streamer, it is a DAC. | |
| I asking for suggestions in choosing a pre-amp [that won't "break the bank". I would suggest a Mytek Brooklyn DAC....It has an excellent sounding, variable pre-amp output, (both balanced and RCA outputs), a fantastic sounding phono pre-amp built in, and a set of analog pre-amp inputs as well. It gives you a choice of digit... |
