| Upgrading from Primaluna Let me first make clear that I think prima Luna makes good gear and great stuff at its price point. Although I think the ARC ref 75 se is some of the best value in audio. That amp is amazing. Now to answer your question - at the dealer where I ... | |
| Aurender Conductor App I have an Aurender w20se and ari has always been awesome to deal with. | |
| Quest for an external Dac has resulted in me way down the rabbit hole I live in Colorado and think the best dealer is crescendo up in wheatridge- matt there is awesome. Before finding crescendo I bought a lot of gear (speakers, amp, preamp, turntable,cables) from soundings - wouldn’t buy from them again. | |
| first US review 432 evo music server Dave (audiotroy), I think a year or so ago you were high on the innous music server. Is this 432 server better than the innuous. | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other Thanks Pindac. I should say that the dealer who sells SME, AMG and Technics is Crescendo fine audio in Wheatridge Colorado and the owner there Matt is a great dealer. Matt/Crescendo are super supportive of all the gear Crescendo sells and Matt w... | |
| Anyone heard both a Lamm LP2 and an ARC Reference 2SE? I have not and would love to hear the Lamm. But I own an ARC ref 10 phono and ref 10 line stage and love them for what it’s worth. | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other Someone else mentioned Galibier turntables and I bought my kuzma tonesrm from galibier. I’m here in Colorado about 45 minutes from them and the owner; thom mackris came down to my house and spent 2 whole days showing me how to set it up at no cha... | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna I own audio research ref 10 preamp and phono stage and ref 160s amp and love them. I previously owned the audio research LS 17se preamp that was great - used they are about 2200. I also had an ARC ref 75se that you can now get used for 5k or les... | |
| Good or Best Surge Protector Everyone, thank you very much for the great responses and ideas. I love being able to ask questions on this forum and get such great, thoughtful responses. I had not thought about the whole home surge protector, which is a great idea. And 2 of ... | |
| Amazing Service from Galibier Turntables As an update,I purchased some cables from Galibier including a tonearm cable. A few months after I purchased my tonearm cable, Thom made a slight modification to the sleeve on the outside of the cable that he discovered made a significant improve... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker I can't speak to using an ethernet cable from an Innuos to a dac, but at RMAF, Innuos was using a usb cable. I presume Innuos used the usb because it felt that would best show off its product. Nevertheless, if you own a dac like mine, a light ha... | |
| Looking for a great preamp for our store Backert labs vs Wells Audio vs Zesto Hi Dave and Troy,I have owned an Audio Research (ARC) LS 17SE and currently own the ARC REF 10 and love them both. Admittedly, I love the ARC sound, so understand that I may be biased. I heard the Zesto at RMAF a few years ago and it also sound... | |
| DCS Rossini + Digital or Puccini + CDs? keiserrg, in response, I think you made a wise choice on skipping a Lumin -- i have tested a few lumins and did not find them appealing. However, I did hear the Innuos Zenith with the Phoenix and it was excellent as a server/player. The Phoenix... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker I was at RMAF and heard the Zenith MKIII, then heard the Zenith MK III with the Phoenix reclocker and then heard the Statement. I sat through that demo 3 or 4 times and the Phoenix reclocker made a huge difference and greatly improved the Zenith ... | |
| RMAF - Innuos Demo I was at RMAF and heard the demo where Innuos played the Zenith MKIII, then played the same song with the Zenith MKIII and the Phoenix reclocker and then the same song with the Statement. I was in the room for 3 or 4 of these demos (each demo the... |
