| 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... | |
| Another Speaker Recommendation Request If you prefer warm sounding speakers why don't you move up the Wharfedale line? Wharfedale is known for their warm delicate tonal character. Or for your price range of $10k/pair I recommend the Sonus Faber Olympica 2 or 3, Vienna Acoustics Bach or... | |
| Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ? I think so. Are you going to use them for listening to stereo music or home theater (surround sound movies)? However, those Martin Logan electrostatic planar/hybrid speakers are pretty awesome but not my cup of tea but lot of people really love th... | |
| Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ? I did hear these speakers before and they were awful. They are big so you get the best value per $ as far as speaker footprints. If you like to go with Martin Logan I suggest you look for their electrostatic planar/hybrid speakers. That's what Mar... | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? @bwguy You can use a Lumin music server and run a USB from Lumin to the rear USB input on the Sigma SSP. | |
| Recommend Affordable Integrated Amps (Solid State or Tube) Musical Fidelity M6si retails for I think around $3k or $3500 new. Has built-in DAC. | |
| Classe SSP 800 Audio problem Sorry mistyped I meant to say that I've had the SSP 800 for over 7 yrs not yes. | |
| Purchase a receiver or what? need your advice. @auxinput Nice setup! Just wondering why don’t you use a Parasound Halo A31 three-channel amp to power your center and surround speakers? It’s a great amp. Runs hot though as all other Halo amps such as your JC-1 monoblocks. In regards to Bryston ... | |
| Classe SSP 800 Audio problem I had the SSP 800 for over 7 yes until recently upgraded to the Lyngdorf MP-50 cause I want Dolby Atmos & DTS-X. I never had that problem with the SSP 800 before. Try resetting to factory default setting and rebooting the unit from the main po... | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? @bwguy No...trust me, just run a good quality USB cable directly to the rear USB input on the Sigma SSP. You will be amazed on how good it will sound. There’s an effortless flow of music and music sounded very natural and organic. The difference b... | |
| marantz pm8006 vs peahtree nova 150. I would look into some Rega analog integrated amps. All Rega integrateds are analog no DAC class AB amp design. Sounded fantastic very refined smooth very musical tend to be on a warm side of neutral but it isn't like tubey warm, no, nothing like ... | |
| Amp for SF Amati Homage? Rogue Zeus or 180, Jadis Defy 7, Quicksilver 88 or 90 or M-135 +1 on the ARC Ref 110 amp. Sorry I thought you were looking for an integrated amp. Yes the ARC and McIntosh tube or SS will pair really well with your speakers. Like I said earlier that even McIntosh SS amps will have a warm tubey sound. See if yo... |
