| Would this room work? Thanks for all the input. Located a space in the basement 16X18 which would work better, but then we passed on the house due to other issues. Did learn a lot that will help in evaluating other spaces. | |
| Would this room work? Well, I went back a re-measured:length is 17' 11", width is 13'7", side knee walls are 44" high then slope to a 4 foot wide flat mid line ceiling that is 8' high and runs parallel to the 17' 11'' walls. Room is carpeted over trusses. Walls are 2X6... | |
| Would this room work? Thank you for your responses. yes, the peak runs parallel to the 17 foot walls. I am not sure but I think the side walls are about 6 feet high. I will go back to the house on Sunday and measure more completely | |
| ayon integrateds--USB input... for what? MI8 Thanks for reporting in. If the Cd 1 is that good, can't wait to hear the 5s | |
| ayon integrateds--USB input... for what? MI8, do you know what model of Ayon you friend has? | |
| ayon integrateds--USB input... for what? I have an Ayon CD 5s on order, they upgraded on this model to an excellent asynchronous USB port. The unit does have a built in DAC as well as a built in quality preamplifier, so you could potentialy shrink three items (transport, DAC and pre)into... | |
| Disappointing Evening I play my system very softly in the background during a dinner at a party. Usually at least some of the guest say, What is that beautiful CD? I show them the CD cover. They don't comment on or notice the equipment. Later if I cant resist and someo... | |
| Have you become too jaded with this hobby??? I go long stretches (years) where I am enjoying the music deeply on whatever equipment that I have. During these times I still stay interested in hearing new composers or new renditions of my favorites. Then I will have a period of equipment analy... | |
| the preamplifier built in the ayon cd5 is great? Doug, I just ordered a CD-5s much on the strength of your review (and the way people respect your opinion)and then reading everything else I could find. The fun part is, as an antidote to getting too pumped by a review, I decided to reread reviews... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4SR or Revel Ultima Studio 1 I have the VR-4SR's that you are considering with the AH Upgraded to 2.1 Preamp that you have plus NorthStar Transport and DAC and into Nuforce V3 SE Reference amps. I auditioned Wilson Sophias, Dali's and many other speakers before purchase. I lo... | |
| Feet for Nuforce? I put Hyperion Magnetic floaters (less than $100 - opposing magnets) under my V3Se's to isolate from floorborne vibration plus added small lead pellet bags from a dive shop on top of the units to give mass to reduce airborne vibration effects. Bot... | |
| PS Perfect Wave Trans/DAC versus Meridian 808.2 Yes I still want to audition the PS gear - who knows how good it gets unless you hear it? | |
| PS Perfect Wave Trans/DAC versus Meridian 808.2 A Meridian rep was kind enough to bring over a 808.3 so that I could hear in my system today. Not much difference going into my preamp versus what I have, But going directly into my amp balanced, the three of us there were super impressed from the... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... I have the Nuforce Reference V3SE's. They require special setup that includes power isolation, and given their low mass and weight (about 7 lbs) vibration control and weighting on top to sound their best. They are worth these efforts. They respond... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Victor (916) 933-2557 is often much easier to get a hold of and for me to understand verbally. |
