| Is Anyone Using Dirac Live Or Other Room Correction? I considered that as an option, after getting my new electronics and new speakers "dialed in" to the room, sounding great, all bets were off when I added a pair of subwoofers. The new "man cave" had all sorts of terrible resonances.Instead of doi... | |
| McIntosh MAC6700 Stereo Receiver or MA6700 Integrated Amp I owned a MAC6700 for about 18 months, sold it when I upgraded to McIntosh separates.It drove a pair of Totem Fire monitors, drove them very well I might add. Very smooth, very "musical" sounding amp.The guy I sold the MAC6700 let me know that he... | |
| McIntosh MC302 Power Amp Review Very happy you found a nice improvement!I'm on my second stack of McIntosh electronics and I find they sound really "musical", compared with the other brands I've auditioned. They are also a really good match for Focals, and their "unforgiving" t... | |
| When is your Hifi good enough? Again: "Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be audiophiles" or"Women don't let your husbands become audiophiles"I had to return my music server back to the factory to have the hard drive re-imaged (corrupted OS). I have a laptop streaming Tid... | |
| Best Of Breed or Matching Components? ps7256,Sorry it took so long to respond, busy, busy, busy.I really like the sound of my system, don’t have the "hots" to make any more changes in the near future.When I play stuff for most people they remark how "clear" it sounds. Having said that... | |
| Integrated Match to Focal Spora No. 2 Toneranger58,If you email me at evan.rosenberg@gmail.com, I'll connect you with the dealer I bought my Sopra No2's from. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? DG CD, Gustav Mahler Symphony #2, Leonard Bernstein & the New York Philharmonic. | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? ,,,if you don't have a large income ;-) | |
| Best DAC for CD redbook playback from a PS Audio Perfectwave transport I have the PS Audio PerfectWave transport and DirectStream DAC, with a PS Audion I2S (HDMI) cable, and it’s the best combination I’ve auditioned.I have had the DirectStream DAC now for about 18 months and am really impressed with the detail it ext... | |
| Quicken the burn in time for new speakers by using a cheaper SS amp? Nordost sells a System Setup & Tuning CD which, besides having a "burn in" track, has lots of other really helpful tracks for setting up a system.I think I ordered mine from Music Direct. | |
| Aurender iOS app My DAC has one USB, one coax, one optical (and multiple I2S) inputs, with my laptop using the USB. Thoughts about how the Aurender N10 coax or optical inputs perform? One better than the other? | |
| $16K new/used speaker question? I've been enjoying a pair of Focal Sopra No2's now for about six months.I enjoy all sorts of styles of music, except rap and country.I find they are a very "musical" speaker, not what one salesman would call "analytic". | |
| Losing out I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment, but from the seller's perspective I'd say "bird in hand" will usually trump an email offering to buy.When I sold my last amp, I must have gone back and forth with a guy for at least a week, even discuss... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? I have had a pair of Focal Sopra No2's for the last 6+ months, once "dialed in" to the room, they did exactly what you are after.With the beryllium tweeters, I suspect a tube amp will match up well with them.One thing I found in my auditions is th... | |
| MAC Book Pro Computer vs Aurender N100h vs Aurender N10 Music Servers I have been using an Autonomic MMS-5A server for a while now and my audio dealer is trying to get me interested in the Aurender N10 as a replacement.The Autonomic has some really good features, the iPad app works pretty well, it integrates with my... |
