| Wireless speakers for a second room? The Bluesound DAC is substantially better than Sonus, but still not as good as a stand alone DAC.You will need an additional Bluesound Node for each room you want to stream to.B | |
| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 Being a Vandy fanboy, I am hardly impartial, but I, too, would opt to keep the 1ce's and get a pair of 2w or 2wq's in a perfect world (though you would need a pair of M5-HP crossovers or a pair of fixed crossovers matched to your amp).REL is a goo... | |
| Wireless speakers for a second room? I think what you want is a Bluesound Node, but you would be playing cd's from a digital library, not your CD player.I own the Node 1 and output to my DAC. I have to say I am very happy with the wireless connectivity (though I made a work around fo... | |
| the eternal cable question Whooboy, are you going to get recommendations...B | |
| Tube Watts Vs. Soild-State Watts? I just moved to an Atma-Sphere MA-1 from a McCormack DNA-1. I have to say the differences were startling, but in fairness, by going to monoblocks( and short speaker cables) and balanced connections, there were too many variables to be a fair compa... | |
| Streaming Tidal through Bluesound Node 2 vs Oppo 105D @ctsooner , I feel kind of bad, but I got one here on Agon. I know I should patronize local dealers, but I really can't afford to buy new. Just waiting for my lottery ticket to come in. | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design @bigboltz, sorry I have no phono stageon my preamp. I found streaming music and am hooked. | |
| Why does bi-amping speakers sound better? @viggen900 I feel your pain, but an old house has more character than a new one.Hopefully, eventually, you will get to the wiring. And, as you said, it should be an easy upgrade. If code permits, and you can run new wiring without needing conduit,... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Thanks ozzy, I didn’t realize that new tubes had to be conditioned. When I got my MA-1, I just installed the tubes and listened (well, I did let thing run in for a while). I didn’t know that they were pre-conditioned- Well, I hope the were.I will ... | |
| Do re -wired BI wired speaker cables need break in time ? @garebear , maybe the 7th day is for rest. ;)B | |
| subwoofer to speaker connection I just ordered a Hsu high pass filter. I'll let you know what I find. It may be what you are looking for.Without knowing what sound quality you like makes it almost impossible to give you suggestions.If you are near local dealers, I would suggest ... | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? @lxgreen , I bought ctsooner's Treo's and own a pair of 2w subs and am very happy with the result. Johnny R. at audioconnection said using the external subs gets you pretty close to the Vandy 5's. So, I think if you did go with Treo's, you would d... | |
| Do re -wired BI wired speaker cables need break in time ? Yes, I believe that just about any cable will benefit from some break in time, despite being broken in. How long?It depends.I say let them run for a while using moderate levels of music and let nature take its' course.B | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Not to sound rude, but why didn't you get some tubes from Ralph?I only got into this recently, so I don't know much regarding tubes.Are the Russian and Chinese tubes better? I have read about tube rolling and would like to learn more.B | |
| Streaming Tidal through Bluesound Node 2 vs Oppo 105D I just got a Schiit Gungnir and was impressed-It certainly beat out my Modi and Bifrost. Unfortunately, I heard an Ayre Codex, and had to have one. It should be here next week. I hope to compare the two.B |
