| Most economical way to ship large speakers? I just shipped some Von Schweikert speakers that were 500lbs total. i used one of the moving companies shipping sections. they came picked them up put them on a pallet and took them away. moved from the west coast to Toronto (3000km approx.) for $... | |
| How does one weigh the virtues an older amp vs. a younger one? I've done the Vintage audio thing for some time and new audio as well. what i can say is its dependent on the specific item your looking at in vintage. Not all are as good as others. Also the technology of class A, A/B hasn't changed all that much... | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? Roon the software is good if you like that sort of interface. The Roon Nucleus streamer on the other hand is way over priced. IMO | |
| Looking for Recommendations: Best Wireless, Hi-Res, Closed Back, Over-the-ear Headphone can you even buy wireless and hi-rez headphones? I didn't know they could transmit hi rez formats over Bluetooth yet. I'll have to take a look see. | |
| Non-Delta Sigma DAC in £800-£1200 range options? I never found my Gumby rolled off on the top. it is truly a great DAC. one of the more musical ones I've owned. and better then the one in my $6.5k Aurender A10 streamer DAC. Its single ended and balanced out as well. | |
| School bus / Tiny Home Speaker Recommendation? I've been considering building a tinny home and this exact issue has been on my thoughts, as most tinny homes are no wider then 8" its hard to plan out a listening space. my conclusions are if you want the proper spatial q's, sound stage, etc. you... | |
| Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"? After being disappointed with two streamer purchases ( Roon Nucleus, Aurender A10) I have to agree with others spend the most on a DAC and buy the streamer that has the output you need and software you like to use. I found very little (more diff... | |
| Garrard 401 record clamp or weight? the Garrard 301-401 are some of the few tables with a dished plater so the weight or clamp works very well, better then flat platers. the bearing is robust enough for either option so its more of what you prefer. you do not need much pressure due ... | |
| Streamer Upgrade "pdreher @glennewdick Did you use the Nucleus as your streamer straight into your external DAC, or did you have a ROON endpoint in-between? Am asking because my experience streaming QOBUZ with ROON using the Nucleus with an IFi Zen Stream as... | |
| McIntosh preamps I own a C2700 I got earlier this winter. I demoed at my local audio shop the other two as well. I felt of course you get more with the C12000 but i think you have to ask are you going to use all those features specifically the SS and Tube sides? ... | |
| 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... | |
