| Decided to change my cd player, suggestions please? I will be picking up my ModWright Marantz player next week and will post my impressions. I have also been a fan of Dan's work and this will be my third player and I will be looking forward to some Tidal steaming via the usb input to the DAC. | |
| Decided to change my cd player, suggestions please? I'm kind of in the same boat. I haven't decided my ultimate route. I'm not really interested in the computer/server solution but want to go down the Tidal streaming route. I have a Modwright Sony 5400 which I really like but I am tempted by the... | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s Matt,A lot of good suggestions. I think it's good to get other perspectives and as you mentioned you want a sales person to be unbiased if that's possible. Another thing I would suggest is take another audio friend with you that you trust (their... | |
| What are the limits of room correction/ treatments ? This stuff gets kind of tricky but I would recommend the following:1) Get your speakers set up to spot where they sound decent including toe in and tilt (front to back)2) Add bass traps in the corners3) If your room has hardwood floors you will... | |
| Review: Herron Audio VTSP-3A (RO3) Linestage I'm looking forward to getting my pre amp and amps back from Keith. I have done a couple of upgrades over the years and each time it's a welcome change. These are the only electronics I haven't changed over the years. Besides being a great guy,... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Some time ago I compared the Clear Day double shotguns with my then current AZ Satori's. In my particular system, the Satori's were a little darker and I believe the Clear Day's to my ear were slightly more open. At that time, the difference was... | |
| Downsizing Have you considered any of the B&W or Kef offerings? Depending on the model they work out well. | |
| Coupling or Decoupling speakers? I tried the Herbie gliders under my speakers on a second story suspended wood floor with carpet. My audio buddy and I liked them spiked directly to the floor instead. It kind of surprised us. the bass was actually tighter when we spiked them di... | |
| Positioning Of Vienna Acoustics The Kiss Loudspeakers I have the smaller brother to the Kiss (Liszt) which is on a suspended second story wooden floor. I tried to isolate the speakers with some puck type footers but found that the bass was less tight than using spikes. Also, you may try something t... | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? As mentioned I find most people too impatient to sit and listen to music. It's a lost skill to just listen. I mostly listen by myself and on occasion my wife will poke into my listening room for a song or two. I don't mind the solitary listenin... | |
| Buying Without Audition There a lot variables. Do you already have the electronics and source devise? What kind of expenditure are we talking about? Does your taste run to more of an analytical, resolving type of sound or do you like a warmer sound. What kind of room... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... At some point I will also join the black fuse fun. An audio club member has been installing the reds and now the blacks. He is always looking for effective cheaper tweaks and has indicated a positive effect. In the end you can analyze this stuf... | |
| I heard the new D'Agostino Progression 800w monoblocks last night I was also at the same event. I can't really comment on the impact of the electronic and speaker combinations except to give an overall impression of the rooms. I listened to four rooms and my favorite was the room with the Maggie 20.7s. The s... | |
| Vienna Liszt vs. Focal Sopra No2 arboc, I have owned the Avalon Ascendants and know what you mean about it being too polite. There is a certain "sameness" to the sound and the dynamics including the bass are somewhat lacking. It has some really nice imaging and midrange. I lis... | |
| New Member Needs Help golftime, there is so much equipment out there that it can become a real daunting, frustrating and confusing environment. A good audio store will get you started. Hopefully you can find several that carry respected lines to base your decision on... |
