| Swiss Radio Days on Tidal I would like Tidal more if they had a better way to display their catalog. -Something like Spotify would make me very happy.As it stands now, I need suggestions from people like jond to help me find new music.B | |
| Proac Response D30 DS +1 for camenc. Johnny Rutan sells the ProAc's and knows just about everything there is to know about them. His Audiogon name is 'audioconnection'.I would PM him with your questions.B | |
| Ready to move onto next stage of streaming I use an Ayre Codex with my Bluesound Node.It is a considerable upgrade from the internal Bluesound DAC and is very reasonably priced on the used market.Another company I would recommend would be Schiit. A Gungnir or Yggy would be comparable to th... | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! Previous comments reflect my take on this.The best thing anyone considering buying speakers is to visit as many dealers as possible and audition as many speakers as possible.Don't get caught up in the associated equipment. Just get you ears open.I... | |
| Would like to hear from Ayre owners especially those who dared to venture. I am running the Ayre MXR monoblocks with the Atma-Sphere MP-3 preamp ( and an Ayre Codex streaming to Bluesound Node).It sounds 'almost' as good as the MA-1's. Speakers are Vandy Treo's and 2wq subs. You can probably find a used MP-3 for under $5... | |
| bose 501 speakers I am pretty sure the 301's were around then. A fellow dorm mate had them when I went to college.I have to say, they impressed me then, but after college, I heard the Vandersteen's. I haven't looked back since.B | |
| Hearing loss. How much do you care about your ability to hear? Considering how human life expectancies have increased from 40 to 60 to 90's. I feel that all the +55's out there should accept some degradation in our sensory range, let alone our hair...B | |
| Hearing loss. How much do you care about your ability to hear? My hearing has been affected by high level headphone use in my earlier years. Nothing too serious, but it has affected my high frequency discernment. Audiologist testing said I was OK, but I disagree. I know I have a slight degradation in one of m... | |
| Yesteryears' expensive speakers compared to modern moderately expensive speakers Remember that vintage speakers have vintage parts, some of which may no longer be available. For me, I would get as current a speaker as possible. Technology has made speakers much better than ever.As far as Tekton goes, I doubt they will ' rende... | |
| Best hub like apple TV or Airport express etc to use for home with multiple stereo systems Look at Bluesound. Great products, great price, great customer service.B | |
| Any opinions on the Audioquest CV-8 Speaker Cable? AQ CV-8 if I recall correctly is one of the lower end on the AQ spectrum.I haven't used CV-8, but have used Rockefeller, which is a couple of notches up the ladder, but somewhat long in the tooth. I find it to be very nice with my Vandy Treo's. I ... | |
| Connecting a unbalanced output preamp to Krell FPB350 balanced amp As I said, call Jensen. They have great customer service. When I contacted them, I got a fast response to all my questions and even a discount on the regular price.B | |
| Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale? @bstat, I think Mr. V. and dealers like John Rutan understand that not all of us can afford to buy new.When I had some questions and called Vandersteen, Mr. V. called back the next day to offer guidance. He even called back the following day to se... | |
| Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale? @mr_m ,If you are in the NY/NJ area, perhaps we can meet at Johnny's place this summer. I am getting a small group together when things slow down for me.@czarivey , Though I wouldn't characterize the 5a's as slow, they are massive and I like to my... |
