| A quick question on what streamers to consider....... Look at the American made company, Cary Audio DMS650. I have a DMS800PV and use to have the DMS600. The only issue if you call it an issue is that it does have a built in DAC and Clock. You can bypass that if you like to use your own DAC. Incr... | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? Hmmmmm! Try to explain this to some of the best heavy hitters of amplifiers in the world (Boulder, Gryphon, Jeff Rowland CH Precision, Soulution, to name a few). Does this mean I don’t love tube amplifiers that I consider reference, no! I’ve ow... | |
| New DAC with streamer Have you had a chance to listen to the Cary Audio DMS800PV Dual Mono DAC/Streamer. Plays Tidal and Qobuz as well as other. Built in Crystek Oscillator Clock and other goodies. Very hard to beat in the price point you are looking at and it is bui... | |
| Getting 2 subs qjm101 101 posts 10-27-2023 at 05:45am "I would suggest utilizing 6 subwoofers stacking 3 on each side." I would suggest 10 subs. Plus 1 in the bathroom qjm101 101 posts 10-27-2023 at 05:45am "I would suggest utilizing 6 ... | |
| Getting 2 subs I think you are going about this in a way where you still won’t be satisfied. I would suggest utilizing 6 subwoofers stacking 3 on each side. If I were you, I would either use JL Audio Fathom 110’s, 112’s or 113’s. Another option is REL’s 6 sta... | |
| What happen to MQA on Tidal? baylinor 969 posts 09-03-2023 at 05:03pm MQA never was welcomed in this house of stereo. I also dropped Stereophile and TAS subscriptions in part because of their sales pitch for it. Don't mess with music signals, lesson learned. Wait a min... | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops Hopefully the troubled stores will get a clue and clean up their act before they too become extinct! I have a few stores I deal with across the country and have remained loyal to them because of their exceptional customer service. I don’t mind s... | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops If you want the honest truth instead of circling around the existence and reason for their downfall, learn to except all customers who walk in their store without prejudice and stereotypes. Now some of you may claim that this doesn’t happen but it... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? Correction!! ***Believe it or not even some audio gear has a distinctive dynamic range. This defines the distinct boundaries of what your equipment is capable of producing. | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? @Jrod68, I can see your point! For me I feel that almost all pieces of music has a certain dynamic range,. What I mean by that is that there is a difference between the loudest and softest passages. Believe it or not even some audio gear has... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? *** Please share your thoughts! | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? @JRod I’m glad you’re enjoying you Luxman/Maggie 1.7 combo. Would love to hear more about it. I’m a big fan of the Magnepan speakers especially if you do the upgrades to them. I’ve owned several models in the past. The only issue I’ve experi... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? @Bjesien I definitely agree with your assessment! I feel that they are evenly matched when it was in my system. | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? @Bjeslen I agree with your assessment about the Class A Luxman amplifier. They sound pretty good to me as well. I also like the Accuphase Monoblock amplifiers particularly the M-2000! To me the best McIntosh Monoblock amplifier I have ever use... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? @ Soix Haha, haha! There you go again twisting the narrative to fill the void in your miserable life KAREN, lol. I never new that someone who claims to be a writer for a Canadian magazine company can have such a negative attitude towards a bran... |
