| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? I spent the last year listening to bookshelf/monitor size speakers. Not an easy thing to do during a pandemic even though I am luckily enough to have 5 high-end stores around me. I listened to the Tunetots and was not impressed and did not buy the... | |
| Got Boots! Apologies, I meant I only have her on digital, I will have to pick up the LP. Thanks for the heads up. | |
| Classical Top Five You just started a war. My vote is Mahler. | |
| Got Boots! She is one of my favorites. But only digital, not on LP. Thanks for the heads up. | |
| Upgrade Bluesound DAC or go to Aurrender? Thanks to all, I believe I will first upgrade to an outboard DAC, then go to the N10 at some future date. Although the A10 will get me a very nice improvement, if I did ever want to upgrade from the A10, I'd have to start from scratch. This way I ... | |
| Wesley Schultz Thank you for the post. I did not see your first post, but I have listened to both singers now and enjoyed them. I had heard of the Lumineers before but have not bothered to listen to them. I will now. Thank you again. | |
| Any luv for Bunny Wailer? Lit one up in his honor. | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? This might shock a few folks but it was a Van Morrison show in New Jersey in the late 80’s, he played a medley of his songs for an hour, he’d start a song, sing a line or two, then roll into another one, it was clear the songs that had meant a lot... | |
| Digital vs 8 Track Playing a third or fourth generation 8 Track (on a Craig of course) of a live Dead concert while driving to a Dead concert. What on Earth could sound better then that? 8 Tracks rule. Ummm, what year is this again? | |
| Newbie question @millercarbon 2500kw!! To paraphrase an old trope, “it’s the first (couple of thousand) watts that are most important.... | |
| Upgrade Bluesound DAC or go to Aurrender? Yes, may not be a great question, but it’s mine! Thanks. One vote for new DAC. | |
| Newbie question Yeah, 2,500 watts with the right speakers will make your ears bleed and you’ll be half-deaf in no time. That said, @reubent is 100% correct. An out of date receiver is not the best way to go. If you are trying to add to power your current receiver... | |
| Harbeth M30 I have the 30.2 and driving them with the Luxman 590AXii. The class A is such a nice match with the Harbeths. I can listen all day to any type of music, I have a very wide taste in music, and enjoy them with every type. | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh I had Mcintosh separates for years, I switched to the Luxman 590AXII last year and have never looked back. Loudness/tone controls work very well when needed, but they can also be by-passed. You can also use the 590 as a pre, although that defeats ... | |
| 590axii in the house I own the 590axii about a year now, and went from Totem bookshelves which I enjoyed, to the Harbeth 30.2, big improvement, clear and clean, but still with a nice touch of warmth with lushness. I Listen for hours. Enjoy. Let us know what you ended ... |
