| Peachtree GaN 400 vs Class D Audio Mini GAN 5 Great review--Darko did a review of the GaN400 this week on YouTube. Sounds really interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2zonVUcyhQ&t=1088s | |
| Helping a friend build a new system I love helping a friend build a system. How about a Yamaha integrated amp (A-S1200)---it has a phono stage and headphone jack included for $2500. It comes in silver or black It shouldn’t get hot (class A/B) which is good for that room size. There’... | |
| Amp recommendation -- McIntosh, Luxman, Yamaha Either the Luxman 505UXii or 507UXii. I own the 505UXii and highly recommend it---it has everything you want. Great remote as well with loudness button. Good luck!! | |
| My stereo is haunted!! I don't have a suggestion but I can relate to the issue because I had a very similar system with annoying sounds. I also had a Modwright Anniversary Ed. preamp like yours with a Bel Canto REF500s amp and Dynaudio Special 40s. I would always hear f... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? New 180g copy of OMD's 1993 album 'Liberator' | |
| Let’s make this a better community!? With a follow up! Totally agree. I've had high end audio for many years and I still get confused by certain specs---especially DACs. Clarity definitely helps. | |
| What is wrong with my system? Many great suggestions here. I agree with trying 'no cost' or the cheapest changes first like room placement, etc. As for cables (which could be the issue), check out the Cable Company (www.thecableco.com). They have a lending library where you ca... | |
| Should I try XLR? @sbank yes---thank you for that explanation. I'm currently looking for CD/streamers that have XLR outputs. The Technics SL G700 has some good specs and reviews. | |
| What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s? I was a young kid in the '70s but I remember hearing these songs on jukeboxes and AM radios.1. Eagles - One of these nights2. 10cc - I'm not in love3. ELO - Evil woman4. Rod Stewart - Do ya think I'm sexy5. Bee Gees - How deep is your love | |
| so, i recorded a type 1, normal bias, on a 70s cassette deck, and it sounds FANTASTIC My homemade 'mix tapes' from the 80s-90s still sound great on my early 90's Denon deck. | |
| Advice on a streamer I have the Marantz ND8006 CD/Streamer ($1300) which I use for Spotify Connect. I use it with my Luxman 505UXii integrated amp. It plays through my WiFi and it sounds great. I have a lot of CDs as well so I can still use the 8006 if I want to play ... | |
| Should I try XLR? @lalitk Thanks for checking into ND8006--well, that solves that. I should have looked into that myself. If I decide to 'tweak' or upgrade late, I'll try XLR. | |
| Should I try XLR? @gdnrbob Thanks for the response---but I have no idea what AES 47 protocol is. Guess I'll keep the ICs. LOL | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. I have friends much, much younger than me and I listen to a lot of their music and they also to mine. I try to keep and open mind and not stay stuck in the same decade or two of recordings. There are many great artists beyond what's played on top ... | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? I'm not a huge fan of Prince but I respect him as an artist. But I do agree with him---the fact that the music from those decades are still alive and well today. I would also consider this the Golden Age of music technology. All the changes that w... |
