| Integrated Amp Recommendation @wsomers What kind of B&W 804 are yours? The latest 804 D3 or D2 or D1 or 804S? Those integrated that you listed above are very good for the money. If you want to go with the Musical Fidelity you should consider the M6si. The Rotel RA-1592 is ... | |
| My dilemma Yes Maggies love current!I suggest you get high powered SS amp(s). | |
| Need speakers recommendation for my system (in Jakarta, Indonesia) Sounds like a plan! However by acquiring one of a digital streamer/music streamer/network audio player such as the Lumin, Aurender, Aurallic, Linn DS, Naim DS, DCS, Esoteric, etc you have access to high resolution materials so you aren’t limited t... | |
| Need speakers recommendation for my system (in Jakarta, Indonesia) @jadislover Don’t get me wrong.....Rega makes very musical gears at affordable price points. If you want to stick with using CD player at least you should upgrade to Rega Saturn-R CD player currently retails for $3k here in the US. I know it’s 3x ... | |
| Classe SSP 800's DAC vs Oppo 105's DAC Agreed. The stock Oppo 105 is very digital sounding especially for CD playbacks. | |
| Need speakers recommendation for my system (in Jakarta, Indonesia) @jadislover While upgrading your speakers are great idea but I must say that you will have to upgrade your digital front end source component (Rega Apollo CD player). I suggest you upgrade your CD player or get a digital streamer/DAC or standalone... | |
| Need speakers recommendation for my system (in Jakarta, Indonesia) What about Harbeth? Do you guys have Harbeth dealer there? They will pair well with your Jadis Ref tube integrated. | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? Don’t know. I’ve never listened to the D2 but I have listened to the higher end Lumin A1 & S1 but these cost way more than the D2. The D2 is an entry level model from Lumin. The A1 & S1 are very very good. Can’t comment on the D2 though. Y... | |
| Trying to Decide on my next Purchase @oldschool1948 So this isn't your main primary system then? McIntosh makes pretty good amplifiers and are generally more affordable than Naim products with the exception of the Naim Uniti series. Naim separates will run you up to $90k to $100k whi... | |
| Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ? Yup. The internal cabinet bracing isn’t well designed and built. Those big boxy cabinets of the Motion 60XT also allows internal standing wave inside the speaker cabinet that creates cabinet resonances or coloration. That was pretty much what I wa... | |
| Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ? The cabinet bracing of the Motion 60XT is awful, the material that the cabinet is made of is awful. They also dictate how the speakers will sound and perform. | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? @bwguy ISorry my bad I didn't see your posts earlier about the Lumin music server. Yes, you can connect the Lumin via XLR analog out to your Sigma SSP and set the Sigma SSP in digital bypass mode so the Classe is used as an analog stereo preamp. L... | |
| Purchase a receiver or what? need your advice. @auxinput Wow! Your subs are massive 28" deep. What drivers are you using for your subs? I’m also using 2 subs in my dedicated theater room. Are you also using subs when listening to stereo music? Sony makes one of the best movie projector only be... | |
| Trying to Decide on my next Purchase @oldschool1948 The Naim Uniti Star is a step down from the Uniti Nova. The Nova is by far better than the Star. The Nova is the top of line within the Uniti series. The Uniti series is Naim's entry level series. But the Star is very good for its p... | |
| Trying to Decide on my next Purchase @oldschool1948 Not sure if you have made a purchase or decided on something by now but if you haven’t, I highly recommend the Naim Uniti Nova all-in-one solution. It is a streamer/DAC/integrated amp in a single chassis. You can sell your NAD M12/M... |
