| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? Imagine if you did it with two amps of the same make/sound. That's where the true magic is. I have heard a few speakers bi and even tri amped with NAD amps. Just takes some systems to a new level. As was stated above, no feedback messing with ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Interesting thread IRT to the server's. I have heard a few of them and still like my Steve Nugent build Mac Mini/Paul Hynes unit. I want an all in one that can be controlled by a pad and use Roon. Not too much to ask, but some of the best soluti... | |
| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? Did you go to the guy in Australia who bought the name? Heard he does a great job in rebuilding them. I used to love most of the line back in the late 90's. We used to bi amp the full range panels and drive the heck out of them. Wish the guy i... | |
| Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone Actually that's not at all what it being said. What's being said is that many companies are using better quality materials and implementing them properly. To take a good thread and make a post that sarcastically puts down good companies is silly ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I'm still trying to figure it all out. I will somehow need to get one of his in the room when I get the Zenith in to have a mini shootout. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Innuos Zenith is an all in one with a SSD and ripper built in. Nuno from the company set me up with their US distributor. I assume they use a ripping program on the net for perfect rips. Mark, the US distributor just got back to me as I type th... | |
| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? I switched to Vandersteen after over 20 years with many Proac designs and have not looked back.. I am enjoying music so much more. Not even close right now. | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple I have always purchased on sound alone for anything I change. When I ordered my Vandy's and asked that they be painted in a favorite color I was shocked at how awesome they would look. My wife and others who visit also love them as they are works... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Look at the Music Vault if you want an all in one that sounds great. He also will install lifetime Roon for you or let you move your license over. He will custom build it and it is a great sounding unit. Richfieldhunter uses one and loves it. I... | |
| Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone Whatever floats your boat is the right answer. I do however like the Youtube video that Vandersteen puts out showing the pistonic nature of their Carbon Fiber cones/drivers they hand build in Cali. The planers and ribbons can not recreate that a... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? A great cable should be totally invisible when dealing with the signal. That's the problem with most cables. They seem to have their own signature and this is why some use them to 'tune' their systems. This is the biggest reason I have switched ... | |
| Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone Wow, interesting thread with no right answers. If you want to talk measurements, you need a driver (cone is only part of a driver and then it's the crossover and other materials that make up a great speaker. The mids shouldn't stand out. If they... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Johnny is a Melco dealer, but had problems setting things up in the beginning and I am not sure he is really selling them. I'll ask as I do have interest in one potentially, especially if I can just use my mac mini on the net to run Roon with it. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Not sure if they will. Haven't heard that that's in the works. I know someone who would know and report back after we get back from Mexico. Matt, I can talk for free if you are around. I was told to put the new Melco into that mix. Was told t... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? For folks who care about the science of cables, there are tests that I've seen that show various cables as well as 'minimum' wires trying to pass a square wave. Cables and cartridges have the highest mark up in the audio world (maybe some accesso... |
