| Suitable affordable speakers for Cary Cad 805AE I love those amps great buy, that said I don’t think they are ideal for your speakers. They are also class A 50w amps so they will run hot regardless so I’m not to concerned about that, but hopefully someone that knows these amps better then me ca... | |
| What is really the purpose of streaming?? Oh and yes you can transfer songs from Tidal to your drive. I've never used this so maybe someone else can chime in here. I use tidal in my home system and have the app on my phone so I have it in portable mode this is where storing the files on y... | |
| What is really the purpose of streaming?? I've let my Tidal Subscription laps when i'm away (sometimes for months, Navy) and when I re-sub all my stuff is still there as it was before. I have not listened to a CD since I started with Tidal/Roon why bother. most times I think of a CD and f... | |
| Trying vinyl, need some help! If your just starting out I would not start by opening your pre-amp and taking a soldering iron to it (sorry chakster). stick with the proven and when you get comfortable then start experimenting. Most MM manufactures build for 47k ohms you would ... | |

| 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... |
