| What is a good turntable preamp under $500? Yes, a Grado NM cartridge | |
| Cables recommendation @lnutic I also use Audioquest earth interconnects and William Tell bi wire speaker cables with my B&w 802d3’s, Classe Sigma SSP, and McIntosh 611 amps. Agree, amazing. | |
| What next after Lumin T2 Yes, T2 is now discontinued due to the unavailability of a part. I am curious to see what, if any, major differences in the T3. | |
| What next after Lumin T2 Another upgrade option would be the Esoteric N-05XD. I have been told it might even sound better than the Lumin X1, and is $3k less expensive. | |
| What next after Lumin T2 What about moving up to the Lumin X1? | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES I agree that Qobuz sounds better than Tidal, but in my opinion not a huge difference. I don’t quite get the negative comments on Tidal. Tidal sounds good, has more albums, and better personal playlists. I kept both for over a year, but finally did... | |
| Synergistic Atmosphere X Alive vs AQ Robin Hood Zero I agree on the Earth interconnects. I have them and they bring warmth and great clarity to my B&W 802d3’s. Has anyone compared the Robinhood’s with the William Tell speaker cables? | |
| B&W HTM1D3 vs HTM2D3 I noticed a significant improvement in clarity with the Htm1d3 vs the Htm2d3. The Htm1d3’s are also a better match with my 802d3’s. The vocals when playing Blu-ray concerts are more real and vibrant. It was almost like the vocals coming from th... | |
| Thoughts on Lumin D2 I think you would be very happy with the D2. It uses Wolfsen 8741 DAC chips, which is the same chip used with my Classe SSP, which is excellent. I currently have the T2, which is the model above the D2, which uses Sabre DAC chips. Sound quality is... | |
| 80 years old - Paul McCartney & Brian Wilson I also saw Brian in concert a year ago. He had to be helped on stage, had difficulty playing the piano (not sure if he actually played or not), and could not finish singing most of his songs. It was a sad, sad sight. Worst concert I have ever seen... | |
| SVS sub owners, Past and Present I had a SVS PB 13 6 years ago that I could never integrate well when using for 2 channel applications. Perhaps the SB 13 would have been a better choice. I ended to selling the PB13 and now have dual Jl Audio F113’s. Much better. | |
| Best free Apps for music.... +1 radio paradise | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects I also recommend Jason at the cable company. If you call him, Mention Steve put in a good word. | |
| Who has more Rock, Tidal or Qobuz? Best Buy right now has 3 months of Tidal hifi plus for $1 | |
| Lumin u1 or Aurender N10 I also have the T2. I found that it took close to a month before it sounded good.. I thought I made a mistake on the purchase after 2 weeks. I have now had it 2 years and think it sounds great. Would love to have the X1 but it is 3x the price. |
