| How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase I think that is up to the store / salesman more than you. Some buyers take more visits than others. I was seriously inquiring at a well know store in Delaware when the salesman decided to stop returning my calls. I moved on and bought my dream ... | |
| Thinking of changing things up. Need advice on DAC/Streamers Hi @kray Have you considered a Grimm MU2? | |
| One Sub or Two? 2 | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead If I can't talk you out of McIntosh why discuss monoblocks? Just poking fun! :) | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) I find there are always low ballers who just dwell in the 'how low can I get something' world. Even with fair counter offers they seldom agree. But with patience and fair pricing things eventually sell. I find it best to just not respond to the ... | |
| One box solution I think a Mola Mola Kula would be a gold standard here, but list is a bit over your budget. With an onboard Tambaqui DAC you are getting a world class DAC in a one box design. I wold also look at a used Boulder 866 with DAC option installed. ... | |
| If Bi-Wiring is an option, should I choose Bi-wiring over single banana with free jumpers Best bi wire 2nd best good jumpers, preferably same as main cables. Main cables should connect to mid / high and jumper to low end. Factory jumpers typically crap. Almost everyone here said this already. (Almost everybody) :) | |
| DAC recommendation for DSD input Hi @mintakax, fair questions! Like many, (and you) I tried several things to optimize and clean up my digital. I did try an optical interface early on, but the rest of my system was also not great back then. For me, it was getting an M12 switch... | |
| DAC recommendation for DSD input +1 @xwfalcon @mitch2 on the Tambaqui. It is excellent and has a very stable resale price. It is very resolving but not bright, and benefits from a good steamer. I think OP can improve things by eliminating the Macbook Pro vs a dedicated str... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? For me it is REL, as I own a pair of Carbon Limiteds and a pair of Carbon Specials. These subs are amazing and integrate seamlessly. I replaced a pair of Paradigm subs and so much better, way less boom and localization, and I know how to integra... | |
| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. Hello @toontrader , So many ideas and options! I am not into BBC or horns or panels, but will nonetheless add my thoughts. I have a big room similar to yours, with high and vaulted ceilings. After several old pairs, I found the Revel Studio an... | |
| An IEC with grip +1 @bugredmachine those inserts are a no brainer to have arround. I got a big bag on Amazon for cheap. If the help great, if not don’t use them. | |
| Is the problem end of life or the new processor? I would agree @jeffbij , but these amps are beasts. Shipping them is a pain. Hard to find repair on this stuff, for me anyway. My Classe went to NY, and when it broke twice I was done. It was an SSP 800 however, and I am sure way less reli... | |
| Is the problem end of life or the new processor? Hello @mjm1951 Based on my history of older Classe components needing repair, I would buy new better amps. Carefully chosen, they will sound better. Looks like you keep things a while, which is great. Buy new amps and keep them forever! What... | |
| Power supply for ethernet switch? I just noticed Network Acoustics is now shipping their Tempus switch with an upgraded power supply. |
