| Tube Amp Repair/Service - Minneapolis/St. Paul - ? I was just going to recommend Atmasphere, but Ralph beat me to it.B | |
| Atmasphere mp1 mk3.3 with phono @zipost ,My MP-1 doesn't have the Caddock resistors.Though I have to say is holds it's own against an Ayre KX-R.So, when moneys become available, I will upgrade the KX-R to Twenty status and the MP-1 to include the Caddock resistors-and any other ... | |
| Townsend springy platforms for my Sasha 2s, springs not ISOA GIAS, HRTs for electronics??? +1, Congrats on your Townshend Isolated Speakers.Speakers of Sasha's caliber deserve an isolation product as good.I think a shout out to the nice folks at Townshend is in order. They make great quality equipment, and though not inexpensive, it doe... | |
| Minimum Broadband Speed Necessary For Uninterrupted Qobuz and/or Tidal Listening? I think the bottleneck is streaming both movies and music, especially so given your network speed.Are you using wired or wireless streaming?B | |
| Reccomend a good preamp for me. I will second an Atmasphere MP-1 for tubes and an Ayre KX-R for SS.I own both and they are very good.The Atma is pretty much stock and the KX-R is non-Twenty. If I have funds to play with, I am getting the Ayre upgraded, and the Atma fitted with C... | |
| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? @wsrwss,Excellent point. Like stereo systems, the combination matters.(Though it seems many vintage lenses are able to properly resolve images at even 40-50mp. Bjørn Rørslett's analysis of many old Nikon lenses showed them to be quite capable).@au... | |
| Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium Platform Review: @wokeuptobose,No, there is no break in process. The platforms/pods/podiums just do their thing.B | |
| 2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons @onhwy61 ,https://tektondesign.com/product/full-range-speakers/full-towers/pendragon-2-ohm/#colorMuch depends upon where the 2 ohm dip occurs. If it is in the bass region, it would severely tax just about any amplifier.- And, that isn't including ... | |
| 2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons @mapman .+1@mofojo ,+1@OP, other than something like a Class A Pass or D'Agostino, I can't think of an amp that would be suitable for such a low impedance.Bob | |
| Looking for speaker advice-$10-20k @OP, are you near a city with Audio dealers?Bob | |
| Spectral or Ayre (combo) @OP, Pay no attention to the man behind the screen.Though I have no experience with Spectral, I do with Ayre.I own MX-R's, KX-R, Codex, and QB-9 Twenty's. My equipment runs as it should. When I did have an issue with the MX-R's (blown cap), Ayre f... | |
| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? I think digital audio is going to be a lot like digital photography.Currently digital audio is in the 12-15 mp range. Not bad, but when it gets to 24-45 mp, it is going to give vinyl a run for the money.And, like digital photography, there will be... | |
| Are there any speakers for nearfield listening that sound GREAT at low volumes? An inexpensive way to tweak your speakers would be using a Schiit Loki.That way you could configure the sound to your liking.Bob | |
| Problems with Innuos Music Library missing covers @oldears ,At least, you know you are not alone.Hopefully, the update will fix you issues. Even if it doesn't, I am sure Innous will work with you to find a remedy.I did much the same with Bluesound. Though it was a bear to slog through, they did e... | |
| Problems with Innuos Music Library missing covers Ahh, I hate it when software goes wonky.Though the remedy is usually something quite simple.Give Innous a chance to remedy. If you don't get a response, let me know.Bob |
