| Weak Link in chain as I upgrade from mid-fi? I'd keep the blue sound node and buy a great multi bit DAC that should sort your sources out for the downstream. I've bought a few streamers and really don't see the sound for $ here in hi end streamers. unlike a DAC or other areas. The DAC should... | |
| Mac MA 12000 integrated amp vs. Mac separates? I've been thinking this as well, maybe reducing the box count and going from my c2700 and mc275 to the integrated hybrid. I wonder what the trade offs are if any and what the benefits are (other then less box's, more power). Its a nice integrated... | |
| Streamer Upgrade I used to use a Schiit Gumby multi bit dac as well, I still regret selling it. I recently moved from a pc based streamer ( optimized for streaming audio) first to a Roon Nucleus, that was a down grade IMO, it is one of the most over price stream... | |
| Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room -I’ll second the Cornwall mk4’s or another similar design like some JBL horns and many others. Horns just do low level listening better then any other design I’ve heard. -Second option is an Open Baffle design maybe like the Pure audio project or... | |
| Silver/copper Lavri cable thread gone?? probably got deleted for all the incorrect information on how electrons move in a conductor. | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? I wonder if you moved closer to the power generation plant if that would help? | |
| Recommendations please! I'm not sure what your budget is but I've been very pleased with the McIntosh C2700 tube preamp, I'm sure you can find an older version. I was originally worried it would be too rolled off sounding but its not your older Mac preamp its very neutra... | |
| Cary Audio SLP 98 Mundorf capacitors & Hexfred rectifiers upgrade I did one a number of years ago. i used AudioNote Copper caps and a TKD volume pot. those changes made the preamp much more detailed and so much more musical. The TKD volume pot was a surprising upgrade. the copper caps made the whole system sou... | |
| Where do you want your system to go when you go? This is something many do not consider, as most family's have no idea what the equipment is worth or where to sell it. I'm going through this now helping a friends wife sell off his equipment, records, and odds and ends after his sudden passing.... | |
| TurnTable recommendation with dual arms - up to $20K used something to consider if sufficient space around the table, is an arm pod. Arm pod can be used to add a second arm easily to many tables that do not come with them. And at less money then buying a table with a second arm mount already. As for tab... | |
| $4000 BUGDET - YOU ONLY HAVE 2 CHOICES - YOUR FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED Thanks Charles. | |
| What have you discovered? "ghdprentice Every dedicated music server I have owned completely trounced every pc or laptop I have owned. Some examples; Aurrender N100 ($3.6K), Aurlic Aries G2 ($5K), Aurender N10 ($10K), and Aurender W20SE ($22K). I found the latter was so go... | |
| $4000 BUGDET - YOU ONLY HAVE 2 CHOICES - YOUR FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED Neither on LaScala's IMO after owning LaScala's for a number of years and trying many amps you really need to hear good tubes on them. and low power SETs. If it was me I'd get the processor you like ( room correction is a big plus IMO) and use l... | |
| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 The new McIntosh C2700 has totally impressed me with the sound and all its features. Easily one of the better deals in hi end audio. Not your older MAC sound its very neutral and clean sounding. The phono stages (one MM and one MC ) in it are quit... | |
| Sound quality stranger Things on Netflix my son-in-aw is in the film industry he works as an editor, he told me sound is definitely a second though to many productions. the editors do not even have the competed sound track when they edit just the sound from the mics in the room unfiltere... |
