| Spotify or Pandora @bifwynne Yes, you should get a separate DAC. If you want something inexpensive, get a Bluesound Node. It has great connectivity with other apps and you can buy a better DAC, should you want to.I use the Bluesound with an Ayre Codex, and I think i... | |
| Internet radio "only" Bluesound Node is a very economical and well designed package.The integrated DAC is not bad either.B | |
| Atma Sphere deserves praise @tomic601 ,Those Vandies will sing with Atma. I have my Treo's with a pair of MA-1's and an MP-3. One of the best purchases I have ever made.Bob | |
| Speakers under $5000 maintained a reputation for quality sound over the last 15 years. Vandersteen +2Magnepan, Shahinian, Quad, ProAc are a few others.B | |
| My experience after lost of 20k$ I concur with mgattmch.I am sorry you have not had a good experience with PC/digital. But, I can assure you there are better ways to stream music.B | |
| Customer Service in High-End Audio I have had mostly positive experiences with dealers and manufacturers.I would say if any company has poor customer service, I would avoid them.B | |
| Speaker Help @dpm2340 ,The Vandy subs work with crossovers-M5-hp or fixed impedance, they allow the amp to run more efficiently as well as offer a seamless transition between the main speakers and subs.I own both a pair of 2w and 2wq's. I don't think you will ... | |
| Speaker Help Perhaps a pair of Vandersteen VLR's and 2wq subs. That is, if you like the Vandy sound- Small footprint and not hard on the wallet. Even a pair of 1ci's and 2wq subs would be a pretty sweet speaker system.B | |
| Core Power Technologies How do you contact Mark's grandson?B | |
| Deleted Threads by Admin?? @cleeds Well put. Faith by its very nature stands on its own It reminds me of a question put to Joseph Campbell, when asked if he believed in a personal God. Barney Fife Principle of "Nip it in the Bud." Ahh, memories...Hopefully, this doesn't... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Call me a fool (and, many have), but I think there has never been an attempt to steal from those who bought CPT products. CPT had a great reputation with the Equi-Core.At worst, it was poor management/over-optimistic hopes. Poor health certainly d... | |
| Core Power Technologies I am a little disappointed with the way things have turned out.Mark, to his credit, did ship what I ordered, but I wanted the Deep Cores, and returned the Equi Core 300's for credit.I probably should have kept them.Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.Hope... | |
| Laufer Teknik Memory Player 64 - I've Finally Found What I've Been Looking For! @willgolf, I know someone who might be interested. PM me.@sumo and OP,I just put in an order for a Mini. Sam is getting it ready.Bob | |
| Suggestions for Modifying/Upgrading my system I would try to visit as many dealers as I could and audition speakers.Like, m-db said, I think you could do better speaker wise.I own a pair of DNA-1 monoblocks-just upgraded by SMcAudio, as well as a RLD-1. They worked very well with Vandersteen ... | |
| Ayre Parasound Pass : where are you? @tomic601 I have heard similar reports regarding Ayre amps and 'upgraded' power cords. One fellow said it is probably the zero feedback design. Who knows, but it seems that Ayre sound reproduction is not affected by changing power cords (or, it do... |
