| Happy Accident I've found that having the speakers cross about three feet in front of my listening position to give the best results. But, this is only true for my speakers (Audio Note and Klipsch CW4's) and if they are in the corners of the room and up against... | |
| Integrated suggestions "Sugden, Moonriver or Hegel depending on your room and speakers." As someone mentioned, the Moonriver doesn't have an XLR input. Neither does the Sugden (at least the A21 series). I would consider the Norma IPA140, made in Italy, to very high ... | |
| Lumin Streamers Hey @calieng, if you don’t want those Lumin’s, just send them my way. I’ll gladly pay shipping. Thanks. | |
| Great find: A really good streaming FM radio station. JB Radio 2 is a Toronto station that just plays good music, without any talk. There is a Flac stream available wthat sounds very good. Check it out! I listen to it more now than Radio Paradise. | |
| Compact Floor-standing Speaker Recommendations under $4k You mentioned JM Reynaud. I have the Bliss Silvers, which are 2 way standmounts, and the Cantibile Jubilees, which are small floorstanders. The Cantibiles have greater dynamics and stronger bass. Both can be driven by SS or tubed amps, and I fi... | |
| lumin direct to "main in" section on Yamahas/Luxmans/Accuphase? I’d use the Lumin’s volume control as it is digital (Leedh) and doesn’t chop off any signal when playing at low volume levels. I’m using the Lumin U1 Mini into an external DAC and then into a power amplifier with excellent results. | |
| Nuforce STA200 issue. Rumble every couple minutes I’ve found my STA200 works best with a Schiit Sys., a combination MrDecibel mentioned in a thread a while back. I don’t think I’ll ever sell this amp. It just sounds too good when paired appropriately. | |
| Denafrips Pontus II 12th VS Gustard R 26 Check out the Border Patrol for warm midrange. | |
| Dac: Old vs New Check out Geshelli J2, either AKM or Sabre chips. Great products, and great price. And, looks dapper in its wood case. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update OK, makes sense now. Thanks, | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update The setup guide says to download a Theyscon driver if you want to use usb into the Ares II. Since I won’t ever e using my PC as source, do I need to install the driver on my PC? Thanks. | |
| Warm, Lush Laid-Back Smaller Floor Standers? guess I have never heard a warn Klipsch, but maybe one exists. Spendor, +1 on that brand. I think my CW4’s are kind of warm. | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. “Turning Point “ by John Mayall. | |
| Low level listening That’s why my Cornwall IV’s sound so very good at low volumes. | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? OK, I've got one for you. The SPL Volume2 is a very simple, very good sounding preamp from Germany, with only one input and one output (both balanced), an ALP's potentiometer, and a mute switch. I bought mine for $300 from Terry London, and use... |
