| 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... | |
| Need suggestions for speaker platforms - Klipsch Forte IIs on marble floor I second the iso acoustics stuff but i would look at the GIA's as they will screw into the existing spike locations. | |
| Does the Audio press ever excite you anymore? You mean audio advertising mags? | |
| Amplifier and Speaker A/B switcher decware makes a rather nice one for reasonable cost. not sure if there is a wait time though. ZSB | DECWARE (decwareproducts.com) | |
| What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under My older 1989 LaScala's were not stock by any means, all the drivers were from Crites, Crites 4500 crossover as well, i also damped the horns with dynamat and the cabinet was extensively damped as well. so they did not sound anywhere near what the... | |
| What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under lgo-jerry I've had LaScala's in the past in my room so not a concern. I prefer the bass loaded bass of the LaScala over both the Cornwall and forte even though both go considerably lower. but I'd like to try something a little more refined. | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? I think he leaves many sold items up to show what he can do with different finishes etc. your over thinking this. | |
| If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport? I have a CD player that's been collecting dust for two years after I put all my CD's into a storage system. Sound wise no difference in my system that's why the CD player hasn't been touched in two years. probably should sell it. | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 3 unity gain if your going to run another volume control system why not eliminate the line 3 all together your just adding more to the chain that's not necessary. if its to get the switching ability of the preamp then buy a quality switch box. your just adding... | |
| NAD C658 With Tube Power Amp? Any McIntosh preamp with their DAC 2 board will do all the above. HDMI ARC is really nice to have if your integrating a TV/home theater. I use the C2700 Tube preamp but there are a few more to choose from. very well made and operation has been sea... | |
| dac and streamer or seperates Separate DAC and Streamer. From my experience after using a bunch now your better off getting a decent streamer you like the software for and an excellent DAC. Streamer software seems to be one of the issues I've run across some are good some not ... | |
| Gustard R26 - good but not the one Interesting as I'm looking at trading for a Dave but was worried the older DAC tech maybe long in the tooth as they say compared to newer DAC designs. |
