Reliability - what’s your experience been? Brands that have failed me: Classe Audio - the stuff made in China not Canada. SSP - 800 (twice). P S Audio - happened quite quickly BHK pre amp buzzing | |
My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf Vivid K45 or smaller in pearl white (stock color) or any color you want for a small price to make your lady happy! | |
PS Audio BHK signature preamp Hello @signaforce , Without commenting on the rest of your system, I can comment about my experiences with the BHK pre from PS Audio. In my system, it was noisy. I really wanted to get a tube pre with SS amps, but I could not get past the noise. ... | |
Roon and Sonos Hi @bfleetwood , I understand your pain. I originally had four Roon zones in my house, but have easily discerned that running multiple Roon zones affects sound quality. I do get that you are using as background. Sonos just grabs its own from t... | |
how come im having such a hard time are you using optical (toslink) or HDMI ARC from TV to Arcam? Have you enabled correct sound output on the Sony TV? Have you assigned the proper audio input (ie hdmi or optical (toslink) to the input you are using on the Arcam? Just a few thoug... | |
Soulnote D-3 I think a Switch Has Flipped. Hello @ja_kub_sz , after a lot of reading about Soulnote, I found a great deal on a barely used A2 Integrated amp for my vacation home. It sounds sweet and sublime! But I do agree on some 'different features'. Most integrateds I have seen swit... | |
Parasound vs classe Hi @digitaljoseph, close but not exactly. I had classe CA-2300 stereo amp for a while. I had a pair of JC-1+s in on trial. Neither compared to the Audionet Max amps that I bought. Yes they were more, but much better: clearer, more resolving, ... | |
Home network router question Hi @mpomerantz , I took a quick look at Plume. It seems to me it is a form of Internet over power lines or EoP. While this is better than wifi, I don't think it is as good as quality ethernet cables running from your router directly. I believe... | |
Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit Hi @jimbones , I agree with avoiding tubes..if you can get sweet sound. For me, at any of their price points, it is Audionet.. I started with the Pre G1 and it opened my eyes to how a good preamp could sound. Then the Pre G2 and now ultimately... | |
Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui Hey @jsalerno277 , congrats again! I actually liked the sound of Conductor with Tambaqui the best vs Roon. But I also really like roon... You have a great system! Ken | |
D amps Hello @bernal737 , I had Mola Mola Kaluga amps with my N802's, also with the MM Makua preamp. they were amazing in many ways, with great bass control and dynamics. But they lacked the sublty, resolution, sparkle, air and imaging of great class... | |
Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui Congrats @jsalerno277 ! I've had my Tambaqui for a bit now and it continues to amaze! I also have Vivid speakers, Giya G2s2s and love them. Plus, my electronics, Audionet, are similar to your Burmester in that they are clean, fast, resolving an... | |
All in One amp up to $7k My Soulnote A2 gives audiophile pleasing smooth sound. I agree with @russ69 about separate digital (streamer / DAC). The Integrated will be timeless, the digital not so much. | |
Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? +1 @alan60, 'you have to read between the lines". @john1, have you ever owned YG speakers or heard them critically, with a great system? I have owned Hailey 2.2s for a bit and they are outstanding; asstonishing resolution and clarity. Compari... | |
Looking for my End Game Speaker Hi @calgarian5355, I loved my Haileys. Fast, tight, super imaging, very resolving. But I like the Giya G2s even more. Much more lower midrange and bass. And even though they are ported, the bass is very controlled. Just deeper, richer and st... |
