| Power cable connection issue, plug slightly sags and disconnects Sounds like its the power cable’s connectors that are the problem. Better connectors also have a tighter grip. Which cable is it, if you don’t mind me asking? | |
| Power cable connection issue, plug slightly sags and disconnects Is it disconnecting from the wall, a power conditioner, or from the back of components? I haven't had any heavy cords disconnect from the back of components. for wall duplezes and power conditioners, it is possible to get ones that have a really ... | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range @elan120 You’re on a great track to consider T+A. In full disclosure, I am a new authorized dealer for T+A, but I do have experience with dozens of DACs over the years before I became a dealer a few months ago. Most recently in the last year, I c... | |
| Eminent Technology 8b Speakers - Amp/wattage Recommendations I’ll probably get yelled at for this, but I had the LFT-8b in a small room (10’x20’) a few years ago. It was powered by a Luxman MQ-70, a rare 35x2 EL-34 tube amp influenced by Tim de Paravicini. Well, it rocked without clipping and distorting, ea... | |
| Turntable advice @baylinor the OP may need to explain what ease of cartridge alignment means. They may mean being able to dial it in correctly. In the original post, it was stated that the Rega P6 was a turn off because of lack of VTA or azimuth adjustment. The Cl... | |
| Scansonic MB-2.5B vs Sonus Faber Lumina III Agree that some of the newer SFs including the Lumina III are breaking the typical SF sonic signature, but they are still very forgiving speakers. Nothing wrong with that. I would say the Scansonics are much less forgiving, depends on what you wil... | |
| Turntable advice My suggestion would be to look at a used VPI Classic 1 with a JMW arm, which tend to hit the market used for around $2K or less. It is truly a high-performer with a 20lb aluminum platter and very heavy plinth. The tonearm tracks very well, and the... | |
| Scansonic MB-2.5B vs Sonus Faber Lumina III These two will have completely different presentations, and your current electronics and listening preferences should be the biggest influences in the decision. The Scansonic MB-B series to me is an incredible speaker for the money. They have a ... | |
| Speakers for Michi X3? @auroravengeance Great suggestions on the Audiovector and Kaya 25. I heard Audiovector at AXPONA thus year and was impressed as well. | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. Thank you for sharing! This is a topic I bave been helping my direct community and customers to better understand. It’s nice to have a thorough explanation that is worth sharing around. | |
| Speakers for Michi X3? In full disclosure, I am an authorized dealer for T+A, but I would encourage you to look into the T+A Talis S 300. They fall right into your budget and fit your parameters sonically, but perhaps in an unconventional way. They are made with aluminu... | |
| iOS wired thru decent DAC vs BS Node 2i alone The Node is very pleasing and convenient as an all-in-one, but a DAC like the one you mention above and a good USB cable will outperform it. The 2i uses a Burr-Brown chip and does not provide much quality with regards to noise reduction or quality... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno Also, if price is a concern, the Signature SE tend to hit the market used at the $4-5K range. The Legacy Calibre is another option. It is a large monitor that plays like a small to medium floorstander and goes down to 38hz at +/-2db. | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno @tmac1700 If you’re planning to keep the Coda amps, best to go with speakers that will pair well with them that are versatile enough to handle the music uou I quire about. I can think of no speaker better than one by Legacy Audio. Depending on roo... | |
| Best Value/Performance In An SACD Player For $2k, Or Less, Used? For a more modern unit, I can highly recommend the Yamaha CD-S2100, which will often pop up on the used market for less than $2K. The transport is very sturdy and stable, and the built-in DAC is very musical. It can even allow for other digital so... |
