| Apple TV vs Squeezebox touch Is the Squeezebox tough easier to use than the older Squeezebox solo? I have an older solo that i don't use because I find it a nightmare every time i try to remember how to use it. | |
| gradient revolution amp suggestion If I can't afford a bigger MAC, Parasound, Classe, or similar SS......Would I be better off buying a high power class D amp like a W4S STI 1000 than my current low power MAC 6300? | |
| gradient revolution amp suggestion The revolutions work much better in that room (hard floors, tall ceilings, huge windows). For the price I paid used they are a steal i think. The Zu Druids with sub are great as well although I have a problem dialing in the sub. To be honest its h... | |
| Triode or Ultralinear for what its worth......it seems like my sub consistently sounds (integrates) much better in Ultralinear mode. In Triode mode it is kinda hit or miss with the sub. | |
| Marantz vs Mcintosh I have the mac 6300 and part of the value is the phono stage. If the phono stage is of no interest than the mac 6900 may be better. | |
| Preference for separate phono stages? the internal phono stage on my entry level Mac 6300 integrated is as good as my Graham Slee Era Gold external. | |
| 2 subs? AudioFeil,In your humble opinion am I better off choosing new speakers than trying to fix this problem with the druids by buying more subs? | |
| 2 subs? Yes the rooms have different ceiling heights. They sounded great in a standard rectangle room with wall to wall carpeting and 9' ceiling. They are now in a much more open room with ceiling height going from 10' to around 14'(shed roof). As well th... | |
| Tube Amp Recommendation for a solid state guy what exactly does it mean to match impedance with a speaker. In practical terms...what do you do to make sure you have a good match? | |
| active vs passive speakers so do you need to own four amplifiers...two per side? | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Can ohms be placed close to the rear wall. I have heard mixed feelings on this. | |
| EAR 88pb, Opinions? For what its worth....I found the comment by Audiofeil the most useful. As a rookie in this hobby I welcome his short and sweet comments on relative value. | |
| Why do dealers do this? I rarely go into high end dealers because of the same pressure. In short, I am afraid to shop at traditional dealers as it really is not a fun experience. On saturday I had the first great experience in a Audio Dealer. I visited Resolution audio i... | |
| Rogue Magnum 99/ph vs PrimaLuna Pro3 vs AE PH-1? I have the Prima Luna Dialogue II Integrated amp and the AE PH1 phono stage. It didn't sound good with it.....way too Tube sounding (if that makes sense). In short, it didn't sound real. The AE PH1 sounds much better with my SS Mac amp. | |
| Large room fix Duke,Thanks for your very detailed help. Of all the speakers you listed your Jazz Module's are by far the best looking (important for the wife...and me I guess). Would they work just as well with high powered SS amps...if thats the way I go in the... |
