| Two defective pieces in a row - unreasonable to demand refund? Take the 3'rd lets face it, it's most likely not either the manufacturer or dealers fault its most likely the shipping company's that it failed on delivery. I'm sure Mac tries every piece they build so most likely its a shipping issue. there's tho... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! you have the room size and if you can live with the slightly lower bass output over the Cornwall I'd suggest the laScala's in the Klipsch line. They are much more emotional and have a more "your there" sound then the Cornwall's. the bass has more ... | |
| Ankits and World Audio Design Kits? the Audionote kits are some of the best in the world, from my experience. They hold their value very well too. they are based off their regular line up and the level numbers are similar for sound quality comparisons. You get Audionote sound in a l... | |
| Technics 1200G phono recommendations Gold Note Ph10, great and half your budget. Audionote Kit Phono stages are excellent for a savings if you want tubes, you can buy them pre assembled, i still like the gold note over this for detail retrieval. and twice the price. Alnic Audio mak... | |
| Why would 2 schiit aegir amps sound the same as 1? how are the steps spaced in the Freya+ for use with the higher efficiency speakers. Are they spaced close enough to give a usable volume range and control? Some stepped attenuators I’ve tried are too far spaced for usable volume control just eith... | |
| Schiit Freya damage by giving it an electric static discharge on the volume knob. Wonder what they use for the volume control of the relays. If it’s like an encoder it may have got damaged or the position of the volume could be lost for reference. Not sure grasping at straws. May want to try turning the volume all the way down... | |
| Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else what version of Cornwall's do you have? if its the older ones that's probably your issue they were not great at detail. if its the mk4's I'd suggest a Tube amp like the LTA linier tube audio, Finale Audio /Triode labs. Luxman is another good sugge... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Maryann faithful Blazing Away live album has a fantastic band and I had some very emotional singing here. Wonderful fun | |
| Klipsch Heritage Range I e had Heresy’s and they are quite good and imo the gem of the lower priced Heritage line. They are like mini LaScala’s and with that tilt up fill the room better IMO then the other smaller horn speakers in that line gone are the harsh upper e... | |
| Digital Front end for Dummies I think you've hit the nail on the head grab a Bluesound node 2, to start or possibly forever, and add a DAC like the ones you mentioned. I have the Gungnir multi bit in my system and its great specially for the money. reason i say start with the ... | |
| Sub matching...REL with Klipsh For some added information to add directly from REL, abate not quite relevant for your price range but could be a consideration for others. Also i don’t know the efficiency of the RP600’s but if they are getting up there this could pertain to you ... | |
| Does the Rogue Cronus Magnum III have any real competition in its same price point of $3k? Finale Audio -Triode labs ( lower power tube stuff)LTA their entry stuff is close to that price range. Luxmanused Mac maybeCary AudioDecwarethen there's this thread Is it possible to buy a decent tube amplifier in the $2000-3000 range? | Audiog... | |
| A thought on the values/steals in used Audio now...for family/friends? I don’t think there’s many good deals right now the pandemic has caused a rise in audio sales most likely due to people staying home more. this has also further fueled the crazy prices of used gear specifically vintage gear. I’ve seen some vintage... | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? I ordered an Aegir amp Last week and had an issue with my credit card being dinged twice, My fault I believe I double clicked by mistake, they cleared it up the same day vie an email request. no issues with time to respond so maybe give them an em... | |
| DAC finalist please help in your price range you should also consider Schiit Audio, they made their name on bang for buck DAC’s not to mention they have one of the all time hero’s in DAC designers designing them, Mike Moffett. I tired a few in your price range a year ago ... |
