| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @gregdude very attractive speakers. I’ll read up on them since I know my wife wont shoot them down on looks alone. Thanks! Btw that’s why Magicos aren’t on my shortlist. | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @james633 I love my Personas/Sub combo and most well-recorded music sounds great. If i put on the Black Keys recording of Crawling Kingsnake I feel like I’m in the studio with them or jamming with friends in the basement of my college house twent... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @larryi thanks for all those suggestions! There’s a number on your list I’ve not heard (or even heard of) so my rabbit hole just got deeper! | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @grislybutter is the list provided all speakers that you know of (or at least have data on) in that price range or is it all speakers you would consider purchasing in that price range? If it’s the former, which would go on your Mt. Rushmore of Ro... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @johnk thanks for the suggestion. I’ll take a look at DIY but my gut tells me that i don’t actually know how to engineer something that fits my listening taste, room etc…. and I’d likely end up building something random rather than geared to my d... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @larryi current speakers (Persona 3f) are about 4 feet from side walls and 2 feet from back wall. Seating is about 10 feet in front. Generally listening from the seating position so that’s the priority but I wouldn’t turn down options that fill ... | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? Pro-Ject Colourful Audio System would be a reasonable all-in-one choice around that budget. Otherwise, probably buying used piecemeal. | |
| What tier do you consider Anthem integrated? I’m an Anthem STR owner. I can’t imagine you’d be disappointed in the purchase. It does everything quite well and I think you’d be hard pressed at your budget to find anything better. I’ve continued to shop/audition gear post-purchase and I’ve ... | |
| Aavik / Persona Experiences? arafiq Thanks for the response. One question: Do you mean that I should get an Ansuz BNC to link my Aries g2.1 to the D-280? I think a BNC cable would be digital but the signal from D-280 to I-280 would be analog, no? Or did you maybe mean a go... | |
| Baffled and Frustrated: Streaming/DAC Sound Issues Thank you all for the responses. Hopefully I’m getting back to all your questions. I’ve been traveling this past week so I’m a little behind on testing all suggestions/providing updates. @tony1954 My original issue with the Aries G2.1 was twofo... | |
| Baffled and Frustrated: Streaming/DAC Sound Issues @jerryg123 I have used the same USB cable for other connections with great success but haven’t tried another cable from Aries to Aavik. My recollection of the Morrow USB reference cable is it’s a solid core, small gauge, insulated wire. Haven’t ... | |
| Snap Crackle Pop Streaming Two other bits of info: 1) Wireless access point is only about 20 feet away and I have 1 Gbps internet. 2) Anthem DAC is 32bit 192Khz so I set the Auralic to that output max | |
| Streamers/DACs Total unexpected 180 on my part: Did the free Roon trial, got hooked, and set up a new Mac Mini M1 Roon Core. I’ll be looking for a separate DAC that pairs well with the Persona 3Fs/Sub Strongly considering the following: Bricasti M1, Terminat... | |
| Streamers/DACs @jeffseight Listening Room gear is being set up now. The router and network switch are in a utility closet down one floor and on the opposite corner of the house with no unfinished or drop ceiling in between. Probably about two hundred of feet of... | |
| Dedicated room suggestions I’m a newbie to the hifi game but based on the recommendation of another much more seasoned audiophile, I contacted GIK Acoustics. I sent my room dimensions, concerns and pictures and within a few days I was sent back an incredibly detailed analy... |
