| Line Magnetic quality I recently heard a Line Magnetic Integrated Amp rated at 25 wpc. This was an older two stage looking model. (Unsure of model) It was a shop I visit weekly to see whats new. This LM produced by far the best sound of any amp he has operating to date... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... If you are selling an Oppo 203 slightly used for $650,you will succeed!! | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Just heard the hard to find Joseph Audio mid model $13k speakers today.Musical and beautiful. My new #1.Have yet to hear either the Magico A3s or the Spendor D-9s as they areNot present at the RMAF show this year. Disappointing. | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? I vote with Waltersayless. LM is musical!!Have read very provocative statements about Lyndyand the room correction equipment. Do more listening before buying. Enjoy the journey!! | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? It is a money saving strategy to audition more expensive possible upgrade speakers at shows. As they all sound horrible there, you gohome satisfied with what you have. The industry needs to rethink the "Show" mentality as it shows most wares at th... | |
| Speaker recommendation I second the Vandy suggestion. Tekton is not a subtle sound. Spend some time with the ears listening. Sonus Faber is also excellent. If you want a $10,000 speaker for $5,000 consider buying used-after listening to it!! | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? In case you have to eventually leave the hotel,try most of the Songs faber line. | |
| Bands with great second albums Moody Blues!!! | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system I think you will need to pack those Audionote AN-E Lx/He speakersinto your back seat and dolly them into a few dealers for a few proper test runs. Sound like fun? No? Well the alternative will be less so I think | |
| New audio setup? Ynos,I am suspicious that you are playing with the forum with some of your replies. Am I right?If not I apologize. My thought is that you find a mentor in a localAV store or forum and start learning from him/her. (Won't be a herby the way). You ha... | |
| Going Tidal, Need ??? Thanks I will do the freebie method and report back as how it sounds.I have a mac laptop and saw the free trial offer from Roon.Tidal doesn't seem to have the trial offer but perhaps Qobuz does? | |
| Going Tidal, Need ??? Steve +Swajames + Rbstehno:I was told I need to buy a server to fit between the Internet downloadand the DAC. Roon makes one for $1400.00 that was recommendedto me ( by the store owner who claimed he had one personally). Now it seems I may have th... | |
| Going Tidal, Need ??? Wow!! Thank you so much for all helpful advice. For some reasonI thought this Oppo 205 was a decent piece of equipment but it sounds like I should by bypass it and buy a better DAC?The Roon software is supposed to make the operation easier?My goal... | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? They were super responsive each time I inquired about status althoughthey wont go out on a limb and say you will get one, they did say it was "likely". I got mine on Monday!!! Sold the 203 yesterday on CList LA for $650. Yes I feel lucky. | |
| Might try a tube preamp I just took delivery of the Schiit Freya. $699. My mentor warned me of a solid 24/7 five day break-in period of near unlistenability (made up) so I cannot say yet if I will keep it. (14 day trial)Other considerations for me were :1. Audible Illusi... |
