| Connect optical/digital audio out on TV to pre-amp or DAC? @ymc226 For surround setup (HT) you will have to connect everything to your McIntosh MX135 av preamp processor (pre pro). I wouldn’t connect the optical digital out of your TV to the MX135 as it won’t sound good at all. I’m aware that your MX135 d... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad @mijostyn I meant to say the M6 are Magico's M series flagship. I'm aware that the Q7 Mkii are step up from the M6 and cost more too. I'm thinking to upgrade to the Q7 Mkii at some point possibly next year. For now I'm just enjoying the M6. | |
| Please Help Me!! You said someone told you that a golden age of mid-fi were between 1996 to 2002 and you clearly stated that this person owns high end Bose system. First of all, Bose isn't high end. Bose isn't hifi at all, not even mid-fi. Bose isn't for audiophil... | |
| Amp Options for B&W 803 D3 Speakers? Big Classe Delta series class AB such as the CA-2300 or CAM-300 monoblock amps (both discontinued) will be a great choice for the B&W 803 D3. The McIntosh MC462 (current), MC452 (discontinued), MC611 monoblock amps (current) will be great choi... | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 Great choice. | |
| Sopra N°2 I once had a listen to the Sopra 3 at my local dealer paired with all Naim 500 separate gears and higher end Transparent cablings (couldn’t remember which models) and they sounded great together. Yes, like other posters here had mentioned before t... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad @rauliruegas Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I didn't see that earlier. Yes, we all shall enjoy the music, not distortions. I like that :) | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad @mikelavigne I see you have MSB Select ll DAC with two mono powerbases (two separate mono PSU). Just curious, are you running a Femto 33 clock, which is its flagship clock? Spectacular setup/system by the way. I also have MSB Select ll DAC with tw... | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers @avcr79 I was referring to Neoliths being great when used for high end HT application. I have heard the Neoliths in a HT setup and was blown away. | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers The OP is looking for a lush warm mids and sweet highs. The Martin Logan electrostats do not have warm lush mids and sweet smooth highs, they are complete opposite. I've heard various different ML electrostats ranging from their entry level ESL EM... | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers @carey1110 I once had a pair of big Wilson Alexx driven by 2 pairs of D’Agostino Momentum M400 monoblock amps with the ARC (Audio Research) Ref 10 linestage preamp and achieved excellent results. At the time I was using all Transparent Opus cablin... | |
| Amp recommendation for Vandersteen Treo CT @karurravi Just keep your current Luxman 509X integrated amp. | |
| Amp recommendation for Vandersteen Treo CT Naim Uniti Nova will be much better choice than the Uniti Atom. | |
| Home theater help from scratch 5.2 25k budget @wojo79 Since the setup is strictly for surround sound movies or HT I will have to agree with soix about getting good quality active powered speakers system and a very decent or great preamp surround processor. ATC & Meridian makes pretty awes... | |
| Amp recommendation for Vandersteen Treo CT @karurravi What happened to your Luxman 509X integrated amp? Why are you getting rid of it? Your Luxman 509X is a very refined integrated amp. Did it break? I would think that your Luxman 509X will be superior sounding to the above integrateds tha... |
