| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? Anything from Peter at PBN is always a winner. Absolutely amazing sounds all lines | |
| DAC Under $3000 I like Gustard for under $2000 | |
| Best quality connection from Network Streamer (BluSound Node II) to Preamp (MC C2700) I’ll agree as well regarding a stand alone DAC. For now I’d say the digital coax should be your best result. I had the Bluesound and that was my choice of connection. I have a Gustard DAC now. I see a lot of posts about the Denafrips Pontus 12t... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated There is no comparison… separates are better. if price is an issue take a look at Parrasound. Great value there | |
| Parasound to Pass Upgrade Lots of talk about “heat” and “warm”. Really?… Decent amps have heat and if you don’t think they do then they’re junk. Anyway I’ve had Parasound amps and love them. They’re warm and quite subtle but consistent and priced well below their potentia... | |
| Can anyone recommend a set of outdoor speakers? I had Bose 251s for 10 years outside with no issues ever. The have a nice mounting bracket also for in a soffit or wall mount https://www.bose.com/en_us/products/speakers/stereo_speakers/251-environmental-speakers.html#v=251_black | |
| Down to 2 choices Canton Refrence 3K or Revel F328Be Thanks dweller. I’ll do a peal at them | |
| Dac: Old vs New Tonyjack I'm a fan of Gustard for fairly inexpensive DAC's. I have one and love it There is a 22x pro listed for a good price. It offers a lot for the money and right in your budget | |
| Worth fixing? I had 2 old Rotel amps not working and posted them very cheap. They both sold quickly and the money went towards other equipment. Can’t hurt to post it as working /needing a repair and get a few bucks for it …. Also agree that ripping cds and get... | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? Has anyone had Cantonss. The K3 or 2.2dc They recommend a ton of wattage bet it’s seems ridiculous. I’m using a 250 per Chanel Parrasound and afraid it may not be enough so I’m shying away for now. They are fairly big but that should always requ... | |
| Focal Sopra 2’s vs. Legacy Focus SE’s Correction as the Viennas have (3) woofers not (4). | |
| Focal Sopra 2’s vs. Legacy Focus SE’s Well gents… I think the verdict may be in. I’ll explain quickly. I went with a friend to listen to the SE’s and we were both very impressed. He currently has high end PBN speakers which are out of this world and not a fair comparison to the Legacy... | |
| Focal Sopra 2’s vs. Legacy Focus SE’s That’s great to hear. I’ll be listening to the Focus SE’s again this week and making a decision | |
| Banchmark DAC3B vs. Denafrips Pontus II (12th Aniv.) I’m not sure where this thread went but I’ll chime in and also say take a look at the Gustard x26 pro. Has dual chipset and extremely quiet in all aspects. (Clicking being mentioned on others in this thread are non existent with the Gustard and ... | |
| Focal Sopra 2’s vs. Legacy Focus SE’s Wow that’s interesting to hear. Are you sure they were EPS2s at that price? Peter makes a lot of speakers with similar sounding model numbers. Example- I currently have spx2s. There are also Xps models …. It gets confusing . How big were his in h... |
