| Integrated Question I am familiar with much of the equipment you are talking about. My first reaction is that most likely it is something other than the integrated. each piece of gear checks the box… that’s good. It would be helpful if you could post photos of your ... | |
| Help with Audio Jigsaw Puzzle Please OP, 😊… yes, you create a virtual system. After you get in there, it is easy. | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 If you throw out the NAD, which really is not in the same category as the Hegel and Gryphon. Then you have to try to understand the seemingly contradictory comments between “they sound the same/similar” and “they are wildly different”. You are get... | |
| Help with Audio Jigsaw Puzzle Please What is your main system? It would be really helpful to see where you are coming from. There is a place under your UserID to place photos and ID the components. What are your objectives? What is your personality like. Do you really appreciate out... | |
| Does streaming music equate to high concert ticket prices I agree with @erik_squires and others… there is no direct relationship between concert prices and streaming. Personally I gave up on all amplified concerts a couple decades ago because of the terrible sound, crowds, and honestly fear of hearin... | |
| Aurender 👍😊 You are very welcome. | |
| Aurender OP, Congratulations. Tell us about your experience when you get it. | |
| Technics 1200 MK3D @cleeds +1 Yes, they use a single phono stage and internally switch inputs… example my Audio Research Reference 3. | |

| Connecting turntable, amp, sub, streamer Let’s start with the streamer and the turntable. The turntable goes into the frat right inputs on the back… under phono. The Bluesound Node analog outputs get connected to the Peachtree Aux input 1. So this allows you to listen to your wired speak... | |
| Aurender The sound you get out of the speakers is the result of all the components. Taking an old adage from the vinyl world… if it isn’t captured at the beginning of the chain, it is not coming out the other end. Also, if you don’t start with a quiet and ... | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? Always two. They will extend the soundstage and give much greater presence. | |
| 3.2 Channel with upgraded L/R or 5.2 channel? Those extra channels make a world of difference. Dropping from 5 to 3 would be huge reduction in the home theater experience. Turn off the rear surrounds for a while. My primary interest is two channel audio, and I am fortunate to have two system... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution Pass int-250. Over the last few years they have figured out how to pack a lot of rhythm and pace along with a low noise floor, great details and power. I think this is a great match. | |
| Horn vs AMT tweeter difference I had AMT based speakers for at least ten years. I loved them. While I moved on to ribbon, I was never inclined to go to horns from my auditioning. I suspect the transition can be effective if you simultaneously switch to horns and upgrade your ... |
