| Adding streaming services to a streamer via usb I appreciate the additional insight into your individual experiences. I'm going to grab a long lightning usb cable w/camera adapter and hard wire it to the Sonica usb port while I digest some of these ideas. My family uses the system as well ... | |
| Adding streaming services to a streamer via usb Looks like I'm going to try the hardwired route and see what happens. I might throw Volumio on a usb drive and see what happens but it appears Volumio might actually need to be tied to a cpu. I thought I read somewhere a while back about a thi... | |
| New streamer I just tried a few streamers because my setup changed due to one of my kids taking part of my system to college. A lumin U1 mini w/sbooster into a Ps Audio strata as preamp feeding meridian g57 amp & ProAc 3.8’s sounded amazing- detail, ton... | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years. The PS Audio speakers are getting excellent reviews and I believe they have a 30 day in home trial period. They use a high-quality ribbon type tweeter as well. They also recently had a sale on them that may/may not still be going on. | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years. I have a pair of 3.8’s that I like a lot. I have heard the TAD ME1’s several times at Axpona and have thought they would be a worthy upgrade with a nice sub. | |
| Best set-up under $20K I did forget to mention in my post that system 2 is a Ps Audio Strata. It's pretty amazing for the cost, especially today, and I also hear the difference between cables with it. Nice bass slam with it as well. It does miss a little bit of stag... | |
| Best set-up under $20K B&W Speakers are interesting for me. The first one's I really heard a difference on were the 805 Diamond's from the early 2000's. Since then I liked other sonic profiles better and have been able to hear more differences in electronics with ... | |
| 2nd system for office, all-in-one integrated suggestions I've had a PS Audio Strata for a few years now and I keep going back to it. My other system has a tubed front end and vinnie rossi amp. The Vinnie system has a little more bloom and body but I've also spent more time, money and tinkering to dia... | |
| Soliloquy replacement parts I was in the same situation with a ProAc driver. It took a little digging and referrals but I found an electronics repair shop that rebuilt mine. reasonable price, great work and had it back in 5 days. Your HiFi shops should know a repair sh... | |
| 14 ohm 7” midrange driver The driver has a 14 obm label on it and ProAc said they don’t have any anymore. Does anyone have creative ideas that will allow me to not recycle these speakers? I briefly considered an in line circuit to bump up the impedance but causes issues ... | |
| Red Wine Audio - 30.2 LFP-V Thanks for the replies and insight. I did communicate with Vinnie and he is out of stock. I am looking into another way to accomplish the battery mode, while the powered mode IS working with the unit. If I have some success I will share with th... | |
| Admitting my error… There r so many variables that are not understood in any of our replies and “insights”. Thats is why some can enjoy a single media on $1k of system value and others can not with a $300k system value. The $1k person can truly be crazy happy as ca... | |
| Red Wine Audio - 30.2 LFP-V Thanks for the information, most appreciated! If I figure this out I will post back. I'm going to have to spend some time with pen & paper to write out how this will work. | |
| How old is too old (for SS gear)? One aspect I didn't read in this thread is 15/20 year old "sound" / technology vs. new. Aside from the A, AB, D and other variations, is it worth spending $5K / $10K on a manufacturer refurbished 15/20 year old statement/hi end amp or are you bet... | |
| Driver Testing - reduced output Thanks for everyones response. I disconnected the driver and it is dead, no motion no sound. Im likely going to replace the mids on both speakers to keep each side balanced. Hopefully the crossover doesn’t have a fault as well. Happy New Y... |
