| CD Player: Vintage or modern ones? In my system I haven’t tried Taiko Audio SGM Extreme Network Music Server but I have spent extensive time with it in my friends system. I would say this is elite status for streaming but it is best performed storing and playing back your music. ... | |
| CD Player: Vintage or modern ones? @2psyop yrs, I agree both are excellent units. I have the Pioneer Elite PD-65 before switching to the Pioneer Elite DV-09 and had the Jay’s Audio before going back to Esoteric separate (transport, DAC, and Clock). For streaming, I have the Refer... | |
| CD Player: Vintage or modern ones? Old school, look at a top loader Sony SCD-777ES or Sony SCD-1 ES, front loader Pioneer Elite DV-09 Fully copper chassis inside, and Esoteric (any P-01, P-02, or P-03; K-01-K-03. These units are built like a brick and most of the new units can’t c... | |
| Battle of the Older DAC Hey, don’t you get tired of people trying to sell you on smoke and mirrors?? No matter what people are telling you, newer DAC’s doesn’t mean better DAC’s or better sound. This is completely delusional and definitely lacks common sense. My advice... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? I currently use 6 JL Audio Fathom 110’s, 3 stacked on each side next to my YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2’s in a two channel setup. No boom, just a natural clean bass that complements the speakers in my living space. | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. Man, he really struck a nerve and some of you gave him so much power from a single question. He was expecting the heat but man, so early in the post. No one person is built the same and everyone has their own opinion. For me, I only care a... | |
| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio After 30+ years dealing with so many Hi End subwoofers, I was finally able to rest utilizing 6 JL Audio Fathom 110 subwoofers stacked 3 to the left speaker and 3 to the right speaker. Each speaker is specifically turned to a certain frequency so ... | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO I’m currently stacking 3 on each side for a total of 6 JL Audio Fathom 110’s. All I can say is wow!!! I’m glad I swung in this direction. I want to say thanks to the JL Audio Team that supported me in this process. JL Audio customer service is ... | |
| 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... | |

| 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... |
