| Best used or new DAC under $3500 can you not get into the ladder DAC's at that price range they seem to be the best for organic sound. some one may be able to chime in here. no chip is the best chip. ;-)check out AudioStream ( Digital web site related to Stereophile) so much in... | |
| Audiophile Setup with an Iphone 7 why not spend the money and get a streamer. Your phone is not the ideal server nor a basis for an audiophile set up. It wont stream Tidal decently I've tried with mine, fine for low rez head phone work but not ideal for a home system. You'd be bet... | |
| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? Do you have to have a new table as you will get more for your money buying used. also look at some of the older tables like Thoerns (td 125) and Garrards (301-401). they offer some outstanding sound and so much upgrades to take you to the $30k sou... | |
| Dynaudio vs Harbeth vs ProAc I’ll second the proac speakers I always found them very life like. I’ll also toss in another speaker the living voice speakers also from uk very tube friendly and very musical and detailed. | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp I'll add one more to the fray Living Voice. I moved from the ANE to the Avatar 2 and quite happy running SET 300b integrated. | |
| Harbeth M30.1+Luxman LX-380 & Audio Note AN-E/SPe Oto SE Sig The AN E speakers are wonderful but they do need corner placement to sound best or they tend to sound bass shy and thin. I’ve had AN E lx in my system for a little over a year with both an older Luxman L560 (50wpc class A) as well as an Otto se an... | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum II, but I have depth constraints.. put it on the top with at lest 4" (I would want more closer to 6" maybe 8"). reason for the top so you don't over heat the other components | |
| Need Tonearm help for a Thorens TD124 Mark II another option for not too much outlay in $ are the Jelco 750 Arms of various lengths. I use a 12incher on my Garrard and IOM its a better arm then the SME 3009 any series but that of course is my listening preference. I'm sure you could sell that... | |
| high-efficiency loudspeakers Living Voice also makes less expensive speakers then the Vox Op their line of regular speakers are very good and an easy load for SET mine the Avatar 2's are 94db @6ohms nominal. I came from ANE's good but the living voice are better imo. also not... | |
| What need a CDP and an integrated amp to go with my Graham LS-9 speakers Have you considered just getting a very good DAC and something like the blue sound vault 2. I think In the long run that’s a better why for your dollar spent. Disc Spinners are dead when vinyl is out selling cd’s time to ditch the cd transports an... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 I think they tended to build to a higher quality level years ago then they do now. The quality of design and construction not to mention they used the best parts available at the time. as the years go on the market is more about replacement then... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? I think your making a big mistake only considering amps with a built in DAC. as digital is currently the most volatile music source, as in changing the quickest. and there are some very good DAC's out there for not much money that will inevitably ... | |
| What is your favorite budget audio component? IFI iphono2 great bargain for $500, Sansui TU 717 / 919 Tuners amazing sound for next to nothing money ( add some new Caps and you have a giant killer),Finale Audio tube amps are a wonderful sound for dollar deal. | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. one last thing remove and re- install all your cables as the connections will degrade over time due to corrosion. simply remove them and put them back on looking also for any build up of corrosion and remove if needed. | |
| Pre amp with Dac is having the DAC inside your preamp a must as you really are losing out on many great used Preamps and DAC as separates. having an outboard DAC also lets you upgrade the DAC down the road. DAC's Are getting smaller by the year and could easily b... |
