| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised I've had the Forte iiis for a few weeks now. So far no bueno. I'd have to say I don't like them that much. I am feeding a Chord Quetest DAC spdif from a Bluesound node 2i streamer using Roon. This runs into a Creek Destiny Amp. Speaker cables ... | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised I'm going to power them with a Creek Destiny 2 integrated amp. 120 watts per channel. Seems like that might be a good match, it's a warmish sounding solid state amp. | |
| New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps? Enjoy the new amps until the honeymoon has worn off then by that time you can actually get your hands on the new corvette. Sell the amps and get the C8. | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised Hey guys hoping to revive the conversation. I am thinking of a set of Forte IIIs or even IIs (not sure how much difference there is between the two?) for my garage/gym. It's not a sit down and listen kind of thing and I've had and have lots of o... | |
| Room Nucleus+ vs what for dCS I can't stand Audio Visions. I bought 10K speakers there years ago and was treated like mince meat. How those douche's stay in business I'll never know. | |
| Room Nucleus+ vs what for dCS I am curious too how the Innous interfaces with a DAC such as DCS with an ethernet input. Do you feed DAC ethernet from Innous and Innous is fed internet from the router? In the case of the Nucleus there is only one ethernet connection so you hav... | |
| Wilson Audio for a 1600 sq ft space Revel Salon 2 in gloss black might get er done too and for a ton less money. You didn't really mention the rest of the gear but that makes a hell of a diff too, like no speaker no matter how much can sound great without a good amp and do yourself... | |
| Wilson Audio for a 1600 sq ft space Hey man I get it on things needing to look good and you want something that will really impress the guests too, looks and sound. Have you checked out the Kef Blade? Similar quality to the Wilson. I love the Wilson sound too but personally as far... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify I have both. Spotify has a better selection but Tidal integrates to Roon and that is the most important thing for me. I have many great playlists I get from Spotify. I use soundiiz to convert my playlists to Tidal. Spotify is fine for casual l... | |
| Room Nucleus+ vs what for dCS For what it's worth the guy I bought my Rossini and clock from had used the DCS gear he sold me with a Nucleus + and had upgraded to a Nucleus like device, same idea but way more money. He said it was a major improvement, I read reviews and it se... | |
| Room Nucleus+ vs what for dCS I have the Rossini DAC and Nucleus +. I have mine going from the Nucleus + to the router and then to the DAC. The way I understand is the Nucleus has to be hooked to the router, it doesn't do wifi. Maybe I'm wrong here but I think you have to h... | |
| $30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous? I have a feeling those saying hell no way in hell is a DAC worth 30K haven't lived with one in their system. If you can't afford it then so be it. I have been in audio for 20 years and have only gone to about 10K on a CD player or DAC. I recent... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Totally agree with the last post by superhonestben. How in the heck are you supposed to tell what a particular piece of gear is doing in a totally different system? How do you not know it's the DAC or the preamp or cables that are creating the ma... | |
| Buy a $40,000 used DAC for $4,000 or a new one for the same amount? I would rather have a 10 year old 40K DAC for 4K than a brand new 4K DAC. It would be a leap of faith but my guess is the 40K unit even at 10 years old will still be better. I recently compared in my home a 35K DAC setup with a 5K DAC setup and... | |
| DCS Rossini and master clock questions Yes I am running direct as that is the way my prior DAC was and I don't have a preamp anymore at this point and no need for one. So that is all I know. I have been happy with Audioquest diamond cables so I will probably go that route for the BNC... |
