| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I've been trying out a used set of ProAc D25's about 15 years old now. I need a speaker to stand in while i look for something more permanent after selling my Spendor D9.2's. So I'm saving up for a while and thought the D25's would be a fine stand... | |
| rocket 88 no 2' wont make any difference. And if you're that concerned get the longer one re-terminated shorter. | |
| Has This Kind of Tonearm Been Made? I've watched my friends Air-bearing Linear tracker and it moves all over the place trying to track the record groves, out of round record, hole not punched exact center, warps, etc. causes issue with liner trackers. somethings to consider | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... maybe the older Macs were a tad rolled off on top but not the newer ones. At least not in my experience I have a mac preamp and power amp. Also Mac has the best resale value of any audio components in the business. The newer mac SS amps are all ab... | |

| any current integrated amps in market have great dacs? Most McIntosh Integrated amps have the DAC2 board in them and its quite good. Multiple DAC inputs and It also allows for TV integration via HDMI ARC connection. you also get the McIntosh looks if that's your thing but mostly the sound and the very... | |
| Best Buy Says Bye-Bye to DVDs I like Blu-Ray's, DVD are out dated by a good margin though. I still find a Blu-ray is better over all then the same movie streamed. And you can get the additions a disk gives you like the out takes and the making of etc. But i can understand w... | |
| 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... |
