| mystery muffled mids I'm done with these forums. I don't ever see respectful discussion, but rather prideful lunacy. Good luck filtering through all the BS. My parting gift - https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/3-ingredients-to-a-healthy-audio-community | |
| 3 Ingredients to a Healthy Audio Community Sounds good to me | |
| mystery muffled mids OP, as I said, that list was for your sake, too. I would also consider the stand, isolation, and/or coupling you have for your speakers. If you just have your speakers sitting on a stand or shelf, without coupling them to a good stand or alternati... | |
| mystery muffled mids @gmercer - don't know if you're just trolling, but I will explain why I asked in case you are actually just ignorant, and also for the sake of the OP and others in this thread. The OP has a great amp and speakers, truly excellent stuff in fact. He... | |
| mystery muffled mids What speaker cables are you using? | |
| Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp I have to follow up... I received a new/used Mojo/Poly yesterday, and the Mojo is amazing. More refined than the AQ Cobalt, IMO. I have to agree with the other comments... It is outstanding for $500, or any price, really. | |
| Good 2 channel integrated amplifier for 702 s2 under 3k? I recently purchased a secondhand NAD M32; color me impressed. You can definitely get a used one under 3k, or refurbished from safe and sound (NAD dealer). | |
| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? Apparently the Okto dac8 Stereo is supposed to be the Schiit. | |
| Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp I say this only for the sake of the OP - I don't want to beat a dead horse. I was wrong again. It seems that the Mojo can function in a full-fledged pre-amp mode (not just fixed 100% output). Can someone who owns one chime in? I have one that shou... | |
| Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp Sorry, I am mistaken, the Mojo can be placed into "full-tilt" output mode (100% output to an external device, e.g. not headphones). But it would not provide pre-amp volume control through it's 3.5mm jack. | |
| Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp ... but can't also act as a preamp. Hence, Chord Hugo 1 used. | |
| Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp My 2 cents - used Chord Hugo 1, used/new Okto dac8 Stereo, or new Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt. | |
| Recommendations for a modestly-priced audio system? Also, I wouldn't suggest getting passive speakers with a $1k budget. Having to include decent speaker cables in the mix will push the quality of the whole system way down. The Vanatoo T1E alone ($600) would be a great buy, and I'd wager that it's ... | |
| Recommendations for a modestly-priced audio system? Schiit Mani phono preamp with Audioquest Black Mamba II Interconnects(s) - if you want a decent, cheap phono stage. | |
| Recommendations for a modestly-priced audio system? Vanatoo Transparent One Encore active speakers, RSL Speedwoofer 10S subwoofer, Pangea Audio Prime RCA cable for sub connection (or the RSL wireless adapter). Probably couldn't do any better for $1k. Has all the input options she'd need. |
