| Lumin Streamers I have a Lumin U1 w/ X1 power supply and am extremely happy. The Lumin app is in my opinion great and largely issue free, customer support and software updates are frequent (especially adding more capabilities), and it sounds phenomenal. They ... | |
| Audio Research in Receivership. @ghasley I fully agree. From myself personally along with a number of friends and acquaintances, who've jumped into two channel, mostly due to my journey and setup. Your post is very well said. There are plenty of younger people who have plent... | |
| Marantz AV7706 11.2Ch 8K Ultra HD AV Surround Pre-Amplifier with HEOS® Another one to throw into the mix is the Arcam AV40/41. I've had mine for two years and have nothing but good things to say about it. It beat out Marantz and Denon no pure sound quality (HT and music) when I was in the market and auditioned. I... | |
| Your Parasound JC5 Impressions The JC5 was also released in 2018, and have seen a few posts across forums and reviewers that replacements are in development. No clue if those are accurate or not. That could also be a driver of for sale ads or people trading them into dealers to... | |
| Amazon Music HD-- Am I the only one who knows about this? I really wanted to like Amazon Music HD because it has a massive selection and was a good value. Unfortunately, in my experience I found sound quality to be noticeably inferior to Qobuz or even Tidal, so I cancelled. | |
| Your Parasound JC5 Impressions I currently have one and enjoy it a lot. I got it because it was good value, albeit not one I would consider end game. It does everything well on all kinds of music in my set up. It is also my first class AB amp. Not sure what my next move wil... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Abraxas - Santana, trying to explore more of his stuff and change it up from a major blues kick! | |
| What is the proper loudness for listening? Some very good insight here, I enjoyed reading through this thread understanding there's always the factors of the individual person, system and room. Personally, I find myself in 70-75db as a sweet spot for most types of music although I'll g... | |
| Shifting center image and recommendations on an approach Another aspect not to overlook is the rake of the speakers, i.e. tilt forward or backward. A fraction of an inch makes a difference in my experience. | |
| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? I ended up going with GIK 6A Alpha diffusor/absorbers to go behind my listening position. Granted, my room constraints necessitated something that would work relatively nearfield which these do. Highly recommend these. | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 I did see your post about picking up the Atrias, which I why I thought I'd ask about the improvements you've experienced having lived with them a while now. Glad you're enjoying them and appreciate your insight. The K3s were my first jump into hig... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 @cantorgale I read through this with great interest as I also have Kanta 3s and rarely see people post about them, despite being very good to my ears. I'm curious about your experience of what improvements were brought with your new speakers v... | |
| Dedicated power circuits Your experience mirrors mine, glad you also experienced an improvement! | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? I have my mian system in my main living area, because my goal was to have a system I can enjoy as much as possible in as many use cases as possible. And enjoy it when company is around. That has tradeoffs versus a dedicated room of course, mainly ... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I look forward to this (Termi Plus here), will be interested to hear the difference. Also appreciate the continued support for existing products! |
