| Any recommendation for a CD changer? My cat did the same thing...ate right through my expensive Audioquest optical cable. I immediately noticed, however, that his "meooow" had a much smoother, more full-bodied sound. | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! I am in a polygamous marriage apparently, as I now am married to two keepers for life--Spendor 1/2Es and Dynaudio Contour 20is. The former I have loved for 24 years as my only mate, but the latter have now come along and stolen my audio heart. So ... | |
| Female vocals Totally agree that current commercia/pop female vocalists almost all sound unbearably awful in how they are recorded, and that's why I listen to none of them. But jazz female vocalists from the 50s up through Shirley Horne's early 90s recordings a... | |
| Which to keep! Pick one of these two soeakers Whatever you do, keep the S100s because you won't realize just how good they were until they're gone. Many of us would give a limb for those. MLs might impress short term but will simply fall short in the overall musical satisfaction category. Btw... | |
| Pink Floyd Aficionados I believe he says, "Hang a right, sheep," but it's fuzzy on my system as well. | |
| Dynaudio Contour 60 too much for 14x13x11 room? I think most folks would say yes, too large for a room that size. If you own them, try it out and see, but I definitely would not purchase those speakers without knowing for sure. I think the 20's or 30's would sound way, way better. | |
| Review: Dynaudio Contour 20i Zlone, They are simply superb and I feel vastly underappreciated by many audiophiles. I think you will agree once you are able to audition or hear them. My guess is they would smoke LE50s in most areas. | |
| Music that has a hold of me beyond understanding Mahgister, We think alike! I wrote my post before reading yours, ha ha. | |
| Music that has a hold of me beyond understanding Puccini was simply a genious, and I agree that his operas are the most heart wrenching musical creations ever... he just knew how to write those melodies better than anyone then or now. | |
| Turning amp up - any limit? Maggies and Sanders Magetch. My approach has always been to turn it up until you see flames or smell smoke, then back off the volume a smidge...Seriously, I stop turning things up when the dynamics flatten out/hit a ceiling. | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. Quicksilver for sure. Simple, fantastic sounding, and affordable either in remote or non-remote version. I've had the 6922 remote version since 2014 without a hiccup...just a superb pre. | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please Oh, and you'll be fine with 12g stranded cable with good connectors... don't misdirect your money on $$ cables. | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please Diminishedchord, Definitely check out the Dynaudio line of standmounts. Your integrated has the power to drive them, and these are speakers that get great owner reviews as well as critic reviews. Yes, the Harbeths, Spendors, and ProAcs are great ... | |
| Pass Labs 1st Watt Rundown For what it's worth, I have owned and listened to the M2 since 2014, and I adore it. It is simply a wonderful amp that I will never sell. I drive it with a Quicksilver preamp and it powers my 89db-sensitivity Spendor 1/2s with all of the dynamics ... | |
| I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions Marshinski15, Just realized your speakers are 90db (87db), not your intended listening levels...my bad. I would still go for something with more grunt. Btw, the new KT Monos Mike Sanders offers would be a safer buy than used V4s, Mono 90s, or Sil... |
