| Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit. RV, I think some of that is bunk. At the minimum, I would leave the DAC on 24/7.At the maximum, I would let it play at moderate levels 24/7.I definitely noticed my Ayre Codex and Schiit DAC's open up after a few days.Bob | |
| Jack DeJohnette I'll give it a listen. Will let you know...B | |
| Streamer/Network Player - BlueSound Questions I own only the Node, but can say without hesitation that Bluesound will provide all the answers to your questions. They have great customer service. Just go to the website.Regarding the App:I find it easy to use.Lastly, I would move to at least a ... | |
| Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit. @rvpiano,I would just play music at a low level (if I wasn't listening or in bed).Heck, it doesn't even know if your listening. Probably more important is to keep it powered on.Bob | |
| CD Storage Ikea used to have a great storage solution, but it has been discontinued for a while. Nonetheless, it is relatively simply to build.If you are interested, PM me. I can get some photos to send you.Bob | |
| Need Freight Company to Ship Amps on a Pallet I shipped a pair of speakers using Uship.They are basically independent shippers. Since they self-employed, the prices aren't bad.Bob | |
| Vandersteen @bdunne,I assume you are considering buying used. So, cost differential would be minimal.In any case, the biggest difference between the two models would be that the 3a sigs would have greater bass capabilities.If you love Vandies like I do, then ... | |
| Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit. @OP I have a Gungy (non multibit). It is a very capable DAC. I ended up getting another Ayre Codex, which I find to be just a nudge better. I have a sneaking suspicion that the Yggy is pretty comparable to the Codex.(This is coming from owning Mod... | |
| what speakers to buy +1 for nycjlee+1 for John Rutan. He sells both Vandy and Pro Ac and can give you great information. (His Agon ID is 'audioconnection').Speakers are a personal decision, don't let anyone railroad you. If you can make some time to visit a dealer, I ... | |
| Should there be concern? +1Sellers who resort to blocking a buyer probably have something to hide. | |
| price listing Check Ebay sold (completed) listings and Hifishark sold listings.These should give you a clue as to what others have paid.And, Yes, post good pics of your speakers when you sell. As well as any deficiencies.B | |
| Vandersteen 2wq with Mccormack dna .5 @uditnaik I haven't used the fixed crossovers, but the M5-HP. So, batteries shouldn't make a difference. The DNA.5 is rated at 100K ohms, so you should be good to go considering you have 100-50. Why you aren't hearing differences is troubling to ... | |
| Vandersteen 2wq with Mccormack dna .5 You can also adjust upwards (above 100K). I used the M5-HP with Vandy 3a sigs and Treo's. with a DNA-1-which has 100K ohm. I definitely heard a difference between 150K and 75K, with the bass becoming more pronounced as I proceeded lower.1 question... | |
| Dac+Amp recommendation for streaming-only system I think Zu speakers are quite good- especially for the price.My Unions compared quite favorably to my Vandy 3a sigs.To answer your question:For now, keep the amp.Get an Ayre Codex DAC and a Bluesound Node (1 or 2), used.Though the Bluesound Node h... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? @brooklynluke I concur with posts recommending additional break-in. Many speakers require 600 hours to settle down.I bought a pair of Zu Bookshelf speakers last year and suddenly, after many hours of playing, they sounded better than I remembered.... |
