| Battle of the affordables Wharfedale Super Lintons would be on my short list. | |
| Best Receiver for “Mid-Fi” System? The latest generation of better Sony receivers have a greatly upgraded HDMI input section, so an STRAZ5000 would be my suggestion. The amp is a beast also. Dust off your audio engineering degree, though...its packed with options. | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy I remember attending a Boston Audio Society meeting in the late 70s at which Tomlinson Holman spoke on what prompted him to re-think his ideas on phono preamp design, which led to the Advent 300 receiver's much ballyhooed MM section, and later the... | |
| All-in-One (Streamer/DAC/Amp) - Powernode vs WiiM amps PowerNode2 superseded the original, so it has been updated. Its output rating is “load invariant” so same at 4and 8 ohms…it will drive 4 ohms fine if you’re not expecting it to behave like a Krell. WiiM provides a great feature set at a very good ... | |
| Connecting McIntosh Preamp to Yamaha AS 3200 - Do I use both XLR Bal 1 and Bal 2? dman77, If you connect the C12000 XLR output to to either BAL 1 or BAL 2 on the Yamaha, you aren't bypassing its preamp. To do so you need to use the RCA outputs of the C12000. If you can hear the difference between XLR and RCA, you are doing ... | |
| MacIntosh c12000 preamp - Can not tell a difference between tube and solid state sound Is your “2000a” an N-R2000A? Is YPAO engaged? | |
| Seller Silence Cleeds has it right. If the buyer wants this info, the seller cannot provide it, only the manufacturer or importer can. | |
| Speakers for 2nd System! In such a tiny room, why on earth do you need such sensitive speakers? The amp you have will do fine with typical <90dB compact monitors. Dali Menuet, Totem, ProAc, Harbeth, etc. | |
| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables Every AudioQuest cable is solid core except their glorified zip cord X2 and custom installation FLEX/Slip series. | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers Hearing the TLS80 transmission line speakers from IMF are what started me on my audiophile journey. Hearing Klipschorns made want to leave the room. | |
| Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds Audi-Owe…if not for the greatness of their earlier work, they would probably never have gotten to the Mick Taylor years. They were a sensation from the get-go, a grittier, bluesier alternative to The Beatles, with tentpole mega hits like The Last... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Viridian, Where’s all the vehemence coming from? Danny Ritchie backs up all his statements with measurable evidence. Do you distrust the science of loudspeaker evaluation? He has applauded good speaker performance, even from affordable brands ... | |
| The Hi Fi Audio Quest: circa late 1950s I remember listening excitedly to AM/FM stereo simulcasting of the Perry Como show in the NY metro area. We had a Heathkit mono “HiFi” at the time, 1958 iirc. Having matched speakers like in the video clip would taken more disposable income than w... | |
| What does the audio term 'air' mean? My first HiFi speakers were Dyna A25s. I went off to college, and listened to classmates’ systems with AR 2ax, 4x, and even 3as, and while there was definitely something to admire…a smoothness of tone, there was also a closed-in quality…a lack of... | |
| Splitting line level out from preamp, versus using 2nd set of outputs The OP is trying to avoid buying another 4M cable from the sound of it. The Y connector should 1M>2F with the male plugged into the amp driving the high frequencies, and the short cable into the low frequency amp, assuming passive biamplificat... |
