| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. @eziggy To answer your question, it depends on your amps and whether or not your AC line & wall outlet(s) have been upgraded or not. If your amps aren’t high current amps and don’t consume that much you can plug it to your Furman. What kind of... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. @maguiar Overall I found Transparent cables better than Audioquest but would generally cost lot more than Audioquest. All Transparent, Audioquest, Shunyata Research, Kimber Cable, Nordost, etc come with wide price ranges starting from couple hundr... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. @eziggy @maguiar I like both Transparent cables and Shunyata, but I prefer Transparent cables especially for both of my dedicated reference two-channel setups/systems and found that they are better choices for my reference two-channel setup/system... | |
| Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW You got it. That's exactly what matters. The system that is musically engaging and involving. | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. @maguiar Transparent makes awesome cables. Stick with Transparent and if you want to upgrade just move up the Transparent line. Shunyata Research also makes excellent cables. I prefer them (both Transparent & Shunyata) over Audioquest. Nordost... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. @maguiar102 I’ve heard the Pass INT250 on different speakers, not on the Verity, so can’t comment. I’ve heard a different model Verity speakers a while back on different set of amps and electronics. Haven’t heard the Otello. The Pass INT250 was go... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal @gochurchgo You mentioned in your above post that they have Naim running some Wamms in another room. Were you referring to those giant flagship Wilson Wamm? Cause I don’t think there’s a single dealer that will have the Wilson Wamm on display for ... | |
| Recommnedation for the BEST SOUNDING integrated amp up to $3500 The NAD M32 is a direct digital amp and it will digitize its analog inputs. The OP clearly stated in the very beginning of his post that he would not need a DAC or any digital circuitry in the integrated amp. The NAD M32 will defeat the purpose.D... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. @maguiar102 Yes, the PS Audio DirectStream DAC is a way to go and will elevate the performance of your system to the next level. Your Arcam CD player is old and digital audio eg CD player, DAC DSP, etc, etc improves over time and have gone signifi... | |
| Where to rent 4K DVD's? Redbox has 4K disc for rent. | |
| Recommnedation for the BEST SOUNDING integrated amp up to $3500 @sunnyjim If you don't need a DAC and only need a pure analog integrated amp I would recommend the Rega Elicit-R analog integrated amp retails for $3k new and it's within your budget. Very musically engaging and involving amp. | |
| Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW @carey1110 Which speakers did you decide on buying? What are your electronics and cablings? | |
| McIntosh MA252 Hybrid Integrated Amp @scarbpaul12 What kind of turntable do you have? I would still think you will be better off with a dedicated external good quality phonostage pre. If your speakers have low sensitivity then the MA252 might not be a good choice. The performance of ... | |
| Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW @carey1110 Different models and series within Magico all have different sonic characters. I’ve heard from people that the lower end Magico speakers (under $40k/pair) tend to be somewhat forward accurate & a bit analytical and of course highly ... | |
| McIntosh MA252 Hybrid Integrated Amp @scarbpaul12 In regards to the performance of a built-in phonostage in the MA252 I can't comment as I didn't use it. I only listened to its linestage input fed from a McIntosh DAC. I would suggest you get an external good quality phonostage pre fo... |
