| New to DAC, need advice. I would consider a Schiit Gungnir or Yggy. Sorry no MQA on those, but I am not a proponent of that tech.To be more cost comparative, a Schiit Bifrost Multibit is more in line, but the other models really go way beyond the Multibit, unfortunately, ... | |
| Connecting a unbalanced output preamp to Krell FPB350 balanced amp A pair of Jensen Transformers would be my choice:http://www.jensen-transformers.com/product/db-2px/I found Jensen to be very responsive to queries. Just tell them what you want to do and they will give you the proper product- and sometimes offer a... | |
| It Looks Like Streaming May Be The Future @thepigdog ,I disagee, Spotify has a cool 'Discover' tab that has listed composers and artists that I never would have discovered without it.I often use Spotify to discover albums and search Tidal to see if they have a highrez version, usually it ... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III One of the reasons I switched to the Treo's is the Sound Anchors on the 3a sigs made them so hard to position in my crowded room. If they kept the same footprint as the speaker, instead of extending backward, things would have been less complicate... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Oh nuts, looks like the sale is off or sold.B | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III @OP, I think you can get a pair of 3a sigs for around $2k plus shipping, unless they are very recent iterations- Mr. V. constantly upgrades, so a more recent pair should command a higher price.Though I have no experience with Tekton or Klipsch, I ... | |
| Future of cables? That's why I don't own Mac products.B | |
| Analog playback on computer. @chakster ,Yes, there are many great LP recordings that haven't been digitized. (I bought a few that I need to send to get converted).Though I must admit that what is now offered on Spotify is much greater than anything I could have imagined. I ha... | |
| Bi wire, bi speaker/amp I would opt for two pair of Audioquest cables. Something like a GO-4 or Rocket 88, which aren't to expensive-even new. Just connect both sets to the amp(piggybacked) and run one set to one pair of speaker terminals and the other to the 2nd set.You... | |
| best bi-wire cables for ref75se/vandersteen 2ci Vandersteen and AQ seem to be well matched. Audioconnection swears by them.B | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers @j_stereo ,You make some good points. I remember hifi mags in the 70-80's were always focused on distortion figures, and that high fidelity meant reproducing sound without artifacts or coloration of the signal.B | |
| Analog playback on computer. If anyone prefers vinyl to digital, fine.For me, it's that I grew up with vinyl. I remember the pops and ticks, the stuck needle, having to walk carefully so as not to have the needle jump, and getting up every 1/2 hour to turn the lp over.Perhaps... | |
| Vandersteen, DNA & SMcAudio (AKA "Mod Squad") +1 Hifiman,I, too, have the Treo's and 2wq subs using the crossover.The nice thing about SMc is that they will upgrade your component to match the speakers and related equipment.You did well for a 'blind' upgrade.What is your preamp?B | |
| Analog playback on computer. @chakster Oh please...B | |
| Can I play Tidal on two devices at the same time? If you had a Bluesound Node, yes.B |
