| Amp Section for New Pair of Magenpan 3.7i AR and Primaluna are pretty good quality. The question is:What will be the best fit for the Maggies?My suggestion is to PM John Rutan (Audioconnection is his Agon tag).He sells Maggies and knows what works with them. And, despite being a dealer, h... | |
| Yggdrasil - what next? If it were me, I would consider the Ayre QB-9 Twenty. I spoke with Ayre and they feel it is a considerable upgrade from the Codex- which I feel is very close to the Schiit Yggy. Owned the Gungnir non multibit, it was good but not as good as the Co... | |
| Worth the effort? Cabling inside sub @OP,Doug Schroeder is someone who's opinion I trust. If he says it will make a difference, I have no reason to doubt it.B | |
| Power Conditioners---old electrics in my house. I new I read it somewhere: https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/audioquest-niagara-5000-ps-audio-p20-directstream-power-plant/ Bob | |
| Vault 2i, etc. Well, they are faster.And, I have yet to have one crash.B | |
| I want to start a thread on the latest usb cards for pc ,How do I include a picture? Ignore the previous post.@OP,Just post a Virtual System listing and link to that.B | |
| Power Conditioners---old electrics in my house. My go to manufacturer is Audioquest.There was a comparison between AQ and PS Audio in one of the review mags, I forget which one, but the reviewer seemed to feel the AQ Niagra offered much of what the PS Audio conditioner offered, but at a signifi... | |
| Best Musical Sub... Originally posted in 2014??? And, just when he tries to convince everyone he has all the answers- he posts this. B | |
| Best Musical Sub... Originally posted in 2014??? I swear by Vandersteen.In fact, I will be upgrading to the new Sub 3's soon.After owning both the 2w and 2wq (not V2), I can honestly state they are one of the best subs out there when combined with the external crossover. They are also built like... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums - current owners opinion on the merits of this product I bought the Podiums for my speakers, but, alas, the outriggers made them unusable (-think limited space).So, with the blessing of Townshend, I put them under my preamp. There was a definite improvement in clarity-noticeable immediately.I have a s... | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC @dbphd ,That is what I am doing.Node to Codex. I have no experience with Roon/Mac, so I can't say it will sound 'better', but I am very happy with my current combo.Bob | |
| New System for a greenhorn audiophile I would try to source used equipment in order to get the best bang for the buck.Though it will probably exceed $2K, I would suggest a pair of Vandy VLR's and a Belles Aria Integrated.It would give you a good foundation, as well as path to future u... | |
| Tube monoblock options? And, though he has responded to this thread, Ralph is too classy to boost his products. So, if I can speak for him, I would recommend Atma-Sphere amplifiers in a heartbeat.Bob | |
| Class D vs Class AB - Looking for best used budget amplifier for Magnepan MG12 I would wait for Ralph Karsten's Class D amp to hit the market.If his new amp is as good as his tube amps, and I expect it to be so, then Class D is going to be moving to new territory.Bob | |
| High Quality XLR IC's For My System @teeshot ,If you are referring to me, then I would ask that you PM Ralph Karsten (Atmasphere). He can provide the details.In a nutshell, if equipment supports the balanced standard (AES47), then any cable should perform as good as any other. That ... |
