| Which CD\SACD? When I transitioned to having hi-res digital files on a music server I sold my former SACD player. I still buy CDs, record them in iTunes as 44.1/16 AIFF files, transfer them to the server, which outputs them to my external DAC via the coax conne... | |
| JL Audio e112 sub vs. JL Audio Fathom 112 v.2 Emailists,My former Velodyne sub was a "Digital Drive" model, not a "DD+". Before I purchased the JL Audio subs, I did audition a 15" DD+ sub woofer, but it was not setup well, sounded boomy, not well-defined.I've been really happy with both my f... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately If you ask most people about "high end audio", they will usually associate that with "Bose". I know very few people who have even heard of McIntosh. When I mention the name, most people say it's a product from the company that makes the iPhone.... | |

| Shiit yggdrasil I have had a PS Audio DirectStream DAC now for about 18 months and still love the unit. One thing I really like about it is that firmware upgrades improve its performance (in my experience these sorts of upgrades usually only modify the features)... | |
| Integrated Match to Focal Spora No. 2 I have had a pair of these wonderful speakers since mid September, auditioned them with a Naim integrated (at one store), and a McIntosh C50/MC452 pre-power amp combo (at another), which to me sounded smoother, so I bought the McIntosh separates, ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I have had a PS Audio DirectStream DAC now for about 18 months and am still discovering new sounds in my 44.1/16 files. I had to send my media server back to the factory for a repair, and since my streaming services don't have all the albums I en... | |
| Subwoofer I am on my third setup with sub woofers. I find you must have patience to get them properly integrated into your music system. But once done, they add so much to the sound of the system, they take the great sound from the main speakers and make ... | |
| Subwoofer doubts: crossover setting for 60hz speakers Fedocable,Every time I've added a sub, or subs to my system, I've had all sorts of challenges getting them to integrate properly.My last struggle was integrating a pair of JL subs in a new, larger "man cave", where the room had all sorts of obnoxi... | |
| solid state gear- leave on? Many years ago I worked at a professional recording studio where they left their (all solid state) equipment on 24/7. When I asked the most senior engineer about that, he said it was because there were way too many things to power "on" in the mor... | |
| C-22 not selling I've noticed things seem to be slow to sell lately. | |
| klipschorns, they kick ass for sure Tomtab,Heck with the naysayers. This hobby is all about enjoyment. If you enjoy these speakers and they bring you happiness, you are much better off than the negative people who post their ugly opinions. | |
| Which CD\SACD? I said I wouldn't have another CD player, sold my McIntosh MCD500 on Audiogon, as I've been using a media server...but the server hard drive packed it up, is back at the factory being re-imaged or replaced, so I thought...since I have an external ... | |
