| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? OK, I put my flack jacket on....McIntosh MC452 (paired with a McIntosh C2500 tube preamp) | |
| Qobuz. hgeifman,One of my audio buddies had the same problem, contacted Qobuz support, who told them that these are known problems, that they are working on updates to the Windows app, and that a future release would hopefully fix those "freeze" issues, ... | |
| Ordered a Roon Nucleus Plus Yes, it may have been a bit cheaper to build something to do the same function, but from what I've read the Roon products are top notch, and for people like me, a computer guy, if I had the time and the desire, I certainly could have saved a few b... | |
| Qobuz. I "took the plunge" with Qobuz, but the Windows app was just un-usable. I'd say it functioned normally only about 20% of the time, spent most of it's time gobbling up most of the CPU, but not functioning, either to search or play music.So I cance... | |
| Ordered a Roon Nucleus Plus db[jd.My current setup is based on a pretty powerful Dell Windows10 Pro, I7 quad core processor, 16 gigs of memory, but with some of the other things running on it (like the HP app to print to our all-in-one), that and other things that are runnin... | |
| McIntosh MA252 Hybrid Integrated Amp One of my audio buddies who is not a McIntosh fan heard the MA252 driving a pair of Focal Kanta speakers (not sure if they were the 2's or 3's) and reported that they paired very well.I have McIntosh separates driving a pair of Focal Sopra No2's, ... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal In my search for a new pair of speakers I really tried to like the Wilson's but just couldn't listen to them for very long, before fatigue set in. I ended up buying a pair of Focal Sopra No2's after auditioning just about everything I could find ... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 speakers - any thoughts? Also in comparison with Sonus Faber Olympica 3s? I compared Focal's with Sonus Faber's and found them to be vastly different. With that said, I'd make sure I'd pair whatever choice you make in speaker with an amp that would bring out the best.In my opinion the Sonus Faber's have a "softer", les... | |
| New McIntosh MA252 I have a McIntosh C2500/MC452 driving a pair of Focal Sopra No2 speakers. In my search for those speakers I found that many of the amplifiers didn't pair well with the Sopra's, especially with their tweeters, but the smoothness of the "McIntosh h... | |
| Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service? I GAVE UP ON QOBUZ!I installed the Qobuz Windows app on a Windows10 Pro, quad core I7 machine with 16 gigs of memory. This machine is only used for my audio system, when running Qobuz (or Tidal) it's the only app I have running on the machine, wi... | |
| SACD drive sources I have one of Paul's DirectStream transports (and DAC) and when I heard that Oppo was getting out of the disk drive business, I was not happy.In my four years of being a PS Audio customer, I've enjoyed the best service from them, so when Paul says... | |
| Dealer Behavior The worst dealer visit I had was in my search for a new pair of speakers, visiting JS Audio in Bethesda, MD. I visited on a hot, rainy summer Saturday. During my visit, not a single other customer walked thru the door.I was interested in a pair ... | |
| PS Audio vs NAD M12 Back in the day I owned lots of NAD products, a full "Masters Series" stack being the last NAD setup. Though I loved the sound and simplicity of the features, most of my components needed service. My M3's display screen went crazy and display hi... | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? In the late 70's I sold high end audio and sold quite a few pairs of all the now "classic" Klipsch models, they weren't my "cup of tea", but those who bought them from me seemed to enjoy their purchases, as evidenced by how not a single purchaser ... | |
| Recommendation for tube amp. I heard a Carver Crimson 275 amp at the DC show and I thought it sounded very nice. A dealer on Audiogon has it listed (for a new unit) at $2750. |
