| What record weight for Rega RP10 glennewdick: Do you have a source for the Rega light weight (Balsa) shelf? I’ve only seen their wall bracket frames (never shelves). I use light/rigid Greater Ranges Neuance shelves under my TT/CD decks, but they are no longer available. DeKay... | |
| Streamer with decent app If you get a chord 2go/2yu you can stream from any app on your phone that plays music/movies etc. The chord app only accesses the chord streamer for settings and connection once connected (5 seconds) you just use what ever playback app you like. f... | |
| Will the Topping E30 II support Tidal's FLAC streams? FLAC can be encoded up to 32bit PMC so when they say it does PMC it does FLAC. double check with others but that's my understanding. | |
| New R2R DAC The AudioNote DAC I don't believe is R2R either. 18bit chip based. I just moved from an R2R DAC to a Chord DAC and have to say if you've not tried a Chord DAC you should put it on your list. Not technically a R2R I believe they use a propriety D... | |
| Revox Agora B Interesting find in the used market. Found a shop that will repair my AGORA B. They estimate $600 - $800 to repair the speaker. Is the speaker worth investing that much into a repair? Thanks! Yes!!! you will be surprised how good these are for the money invested. | |
| Does an upgrade make sense? Chord DAC's are quite good and there are a few at various prices that should be fine for your budget range. | |
| Does an upgrade make sense? Assuming you've done what you can, or are willing, to address room acoustic then I also would say a DAC should be your next consideration. And I'd look at spending as much as you can, I don't think a <$1000 DAC is going to make much difference ... | |
| Full range stand mounted speakers mitch2 you beet me to it for a vintage suggestion. One of the only full range stand mount speakers i know of that actual do full range are the big A/D/S stand mounts. I have L910's and they go well into the 20HZ range. maybe not as detailed as m... | |
| I saw the back of an integrated and it depressed me. Buy a McIntosh preamp or Integrated they have lots of inputs for anything you could need. | |
| Digital player the real question; is there even music available in those formats? and that isn't just an up sample from a lower rez? | |
| Oracle CD2500 MKI there is a Mk2 for sale asking price is $2700 so i think the $2000 mentioned is probably close to max for an excellent mk1. note it will be limited to CD only and your probably going to want to add an outboard DAC as that's getting long in the too... | |
| Building a music room look at room acoustics first get that right then any audio system you put into it will sound better then if you don't treat the room. | |
| Best Full-Function Preamplifier McIntosh C2700 or one of the other many they have, make sure it has the DAC2 board and your good to go. excellent DAC with multiple in-outs for digital, ARC for TV integration, the C2700 is a Tube preamp with dual phono stages MM and MC, then ther... | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? Should sound nice, but I will say you're buying 225wpc more power than you need with Klipsch speakers. If you can exchange the int250 for one of the lower powered ones. Specifically one of the Class A amps, as class A amps IMO sound better with K... | |
| What record weight for Rega RP10 Rega spent a huge amount of time reducing weight and optimizing the table for light weight to reduce resonance. From my experience when you add weight you take away from sound quality. This goes for what the player is sitting on as well. you do no... |
