If RN303 is not available or too costly another very affordable option is this one: https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-DTA-PRO-100W-Class-D-Bluetooth-Amplifier-with-USB-DAC-IR-Remote-and-Sub-Output-300-3835 Add a smartphone with access to... | |
| Can someone help me pick out my first speakers? Get a pair of Dayton Audio BR1s in kit form. Not only are they a solid pair of music reproducers, you will have the added awareness of what goes into a speaker besides a credit card swipe. https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-BR-1-6-1-2-2-W... | |
| Speaker wire selection for inefficient speaker? This is not valid advice, in my opinion. Length times DC resistance per length unit tells you the series resistance a wire will add. A center channel wire under 6 feet long would not cause measurable voltage drop even at 16 ga. But this kind of ... | |
| Considering Towers in the $3000 range Dali Opticon 6 Mk2 has more musicality than Oberon 9. Not a fan of Golden Ear. Totem makes great speakers but new out of your zone. | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? I have listened a lot to both Focal Diablo and Sopra No.1 and love the Sopra more…the Diablo is less musically balanced to my ears. No other stand mount I’ve heard comes close to these. | |
| Shipping 80lb amps. FWIW I have made it a policy to bring my sold items to the UPS Store or Fedex/Kinkos and pay them to pack. They use lots of bubble wrap and very stout boxes and I've never had any problems...but my shipments were not 80lbs. Have you considered ... | |
| Good Reel-To Reel Blank RecordingTape In my first job at a HiFi store in 1973, the demo material was all recorded on a Pioneer RtR machine from a Dual 1229 with an Audio Technica AT15 (nude Shibata) using a Mac C28 preamp. Playback through MC2105 into our favorite speakers…ESS AMT-1 ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? This reminds me of the Carver Corp. claim in the 80’s that their amps could replicate the sound of any other amp design by adjusting the “transfer function” which was Bob’s buzz word for frequency response plus noise/ distortion profile. Unless I... | |
| Best Examples Of Cymbal Decays On A Recording Bruce Cockburn’s album from 1991, Nothing But A Burning Light, track 2 Kit Carson, has Cymbal crashes with decay to give any tweeter a workout. Also his recent album Crowing Ignites track Bells of Gethsemane. Mind blowing percussion and guitar w... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage I've had several monitors "disappear" in various rooms and setups. A/D/S L500s did it in the mid-70's, Morel M202s in the 80's, Boston Acoustics VRM50s in the 90's. All had 6" to 8" woofers and 1" domes, some soft and damped, some hard and metal... | |
| McIntosh C52 to C53 Upgrade If your upgrade itch is FOMO over SQ, try some cortisone cream. The units will sound the same, just like your C50. McIntosh Labs engineering doesn’t suffer from audiophilia nervosa. When they’re done with a design they’re done. The next project l... | |
| different people may hear the same sound differently... One point that always seemed logical to me is that if each of us hears through our own "filter" when exposed to reproduced sound, we also filter actual live sound through the same filter, so the effect is neutralized as far as identifying differen... | |
| Temporary Down Sizing - Integrated Amp Recommendations The Lux will do very nicely to fulfill the priorities you set out. With it, you are not buying redundancies, and it has a classic design. If you can find one for your stated budget you will not be disappointed with its performance. The Ohm Wals... | |
| CD Transport Question Pro-Ject Box Designs CD Box DS2T at $900.00 has gotten a lot of good write-ups. | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. I see no need to diminish Abbey Road in order to heap praise on MFBP or The Band. What about Blonde On Blonde, or Are You Experienced? Or Blue, Surrealistic Pillow, or Let It Bleed or Freak Out? These were all records that defined the era. HS C... |
