| Why is modern pop music today so terrible? @stfoth,That there are so many talented musicians playing classical music in China and are being recorded should be indicative that the genre is alive an well. Though I do agree that the majority of the population is probably listening to somethin... | |
| Why is modern pop music today so terrible? @stfoth,A lot of children in China are not only listening to, but playing Classical music- and playing it well.They will probably save this genre from disappearing.B | |
| 2 Channel Subwoofer connection My recommendation would be Vandersteen 2w/q sub(s) with the proper crossover. It would free up the Jolida from reproducing the lower frequencies, and they integrate seemlessly.B | |
| Ayre Codex dac and headphone connections question Why not contact Ayre directly?I would email Michael Wiedmaier<mwiedmaier@ayre.com>He responds quickly would provide the most accurate info.B | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? First, I would contact Ralph at Atma-Sphere directly. He sometimes has demos/trades available. He sold me my equipment for a reasonable price. I always wanted to try tubes, but thanks to Ralph, I now have a killer system.Second, I would consider a... | |
| Appropriate Power for 1.7i's @OPA used DNA-1 (unmodded), should be around $800-900. They come up frequently. If I were you, I'd wait. Also, contact SMc Audio in CA. Steve McC is upgrading all his old equipment. I'm having my DNA-1's converted to monoblocks as we speak/write. ... | |

| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? @lowrider57 That is good news for your wiring. As I said, your electrician seems like a stand up guy.B | |
| Wilson Witt series 1 speakers, very odd problem, help! You have 2 offers for help, yet you question Johnny's (Audioconnection) rationale, and then say you will contact Wilson. Why bother posting?B | |
| Ayre Codex DAC The previous answer are spot on. But, why not contact Ayre directly for the best information? They answer emails faster than a call.B | |
| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat @tripg The Ayre were a bit bass shy in their early iterations, but the more current models are not.I would opt for a good sub, as your speakers aren't floorstanders, should you want full deep bass. A Vandersteen sub would allow you to use a lower ... | |
| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat Your speakers are pretty efficient, so you could probably get away with lower powered amp, say 60-90 wpc, which should have enough headroom for demanding passages.Perhaps an Ayre AX-7e? or a McCormack Micro Drive?I am running a pair of Zu Omen Boo... | |
| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat @tripg McCormack's have a very good sound at a very good price. SMc Audio will perform upgrades that will bring them to current standards, too.The DNA-1 I owned didn't put out that much heat, either. It was warm, but not a space heater like my Atm... | |

Now you got me thinking of upgrading the Gungy.Though, considering your comments, I can only wonder how the Yggy would sound?The DAC world is moving at an incredible pace. The best part is that we don't have to spend exorbitant amounts of money to... | |
| Schiit DAC Crashes Audirvana @213runnin, Yes, the Gungy will smoke the Bifrost. I have the non multibit version. I am amazed at the improvement, as I thought it couldn't get better.B |
