| Another dilemma about a right choice for best possible speaker option. May I suggest you instead of buying new speakers update the Klipsch's. I did some older LaScala's a few years ago and the outcome was very good indeed. I used Bob Crites tweeters and crossovers (specifically the 4500's) this eliminated the bright ... | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, many older horns were quite good, Altec, Klipsch (with some mods). Old Tannoys are still desirable on the used market. ADS made some killer speakers that still sound great today. IRS, Proac Response series are getting on in years and still perform... | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) recently went from the DAC in my McIntosh (DAC 2 board in my C2700) that I though was stellar specially for a built in DAC in a preamp to a Chord Dave DAC. I really didn’t want to believe the Chord DAVE would be a huge step up, and originally was ... | |
| Streamer with decent app yes its just a streamer/network bridge/ no DAC or Amp. but you can adjust volume from your device i.e.. phone. oh i reread and you did mention you wanted an all in one solution my mistake. well if you added an amp/DAC you’d be set i suppose. | |
| 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... |
