| Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people. Two folks that put their customers and passions first: Tri Mai (Tri-Planar Tonearms) Dan Wright (Modwright Instruments) | |
| Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room @lorenc1 How much room can you afford to give between your speakers and the wall? If 5’ or more, your thought on Magnepan is not a bad one. If less, consider Scansonic MB-5B. They have the tonal balance and openness of a Raidho (both were mostly d... | |
| Recommendation for Headphones +1 @soix on Audeze. For what you de@mlapenta you might be really happy spending much less than the amount you specified. The Audeze LCD-2F costs significantly less than the LCD-3, but it might suit your sonic tastes better if you like it a bit on ... | |
| Audio Mirror Preamplifier @hilde45 I'll let Vlad know about the thread and see if he can comment. Given how compact the unit is, I don't know what's going on inside and whether he can make a second set of unbalanced outputs, though I know it doesn't take up much room. This... | |
| Audio Mirror Preamplifier @tvad Thank you for correcting me on the transformer-coupled balanced outputs. I forgot about that. To add more, there are both the single ended outputs and this pair of transformer-coupled outputs, but a switch is installed to toggle one or the e... | |
| What is the best Headphone rid upgrade @zerozerofire In full transparency, I am an authorized Aurender dealer. While ghdprentice suggests the N100, I would like to clarify that it has been discontinued and replaced by the N150. I’d also like to suggest the N200, which has better compon... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? @rbstehno But what about the hardware of the streamer/server? The software is only a small part of any streamer’s sound quality. Also, I would say that I have heard bigger improvements at times upgrading streamers/servers vs upgrading DACs. A high... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? For anyone who is feeling like it’s the Wild West and have confusion about certain aspects of digital, please always feel free to call or PM me with questions. I’m happy to chat without any pressure of making a sale. I have first hand experience w... | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive @vonhelmholtz If you are willing to spend that level of money on a phono stage, and looking at the rest of your vinyl rig, I would suggest looking into a Modwright PH9.0X, which is a tubed yet completely non-microphonic stage, and the best one I’v... | |
| Sound quality of Roon @troidelover1499 To add to my post above, I guess I should ask - is there a particular unit you are looking to use that would act as a Roon core? I would suggest refraining from using an existing laptop or computer as they typically introduce nois... | |
| Sound quality of Roon I am sad I am this late to the game on this thread. It’s been a busy week for me. I agree with many individual points I read through this thread, but I thought it might be helpful to summarize it all into a single stream of thoughts. I whole-hear... | |
| Audio Mirror Preamplifier I am close with Vlad and have heard his Linea preamp. I demoed a broken-in unit at my house over the weekend. It is incredibly good for its price point. It is very musical, natural sounding, and soulful. It does not have the imaging precision and ... | |
| Two amps into one pair of speakers Does his speakers have separate binding posts to send signal to different parts of the speaker? For instance, many speakers have four binding posts in the back. A positive and negative for the woofers, and a positive and negative for the midrange ... | |
| Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change +1 @tablejockey - This is exactly why I went into business. More people have to help the less aware better understand the wonderful experiences of high end audio. OP - IMO Too little effort has been placed to help demonstrate the value to others,... | |
