| For the sound, or????? Talk about bringing an old thread to the front again...LOLdonjr, I see you now have a very nice amp.Very impressive, but totally shocking, considering the one you were contemplating when we had this exchange in 2013.Did you try out several before ... | |
| Review: Emotiva XDA-1 DA converter While most people who change gear like underwear would not consider an old budget unit like this in their system, I felt that all these years later, I would give a tidbit of feedback on the DAC for those on a budget.I run a set of slightly modded ... | |
| How important is the transport when using a DAC? But isn't the variance caused by the dynamic nature of the power demand?I get the transients and "current derivative" or what some in slang call "load backlash," but this is microscopic, no? ...and from what I know, the down-line component would a... | |
| Need a monitor while floorstanders in storage If you took a pair of Tab's home for a week and went through your collection, you would understand.They are the most invisible mini I have ever owned.I wish they filled my current room.You are right about the sub integration. The trick is not tryi... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Dynami 28, if you listen to your audio in-car at even remotely close to those levels, you will not have hearing long enough to worry about being an audiophile.SPL competition in cars and good sound seem to be at odds to me.(And I run class A amps,... | |
| How important is the transport when using a DAC? Did I just read (again) that a power supply is better than a chemical battery to provide DC to a component?This sounds like the Naim dealer who insisted two car batteries would not run a preamp. The 24 volts would not be "clean enough" and the per... | |
| Need a monitor while floorstanders in storage Jim, while you mentioned Totem, have you considered (or could you)making use of a small sub backed out of the mix to add a touch of foundation and going with a set of Dreamcatchers?A fellow out West has a set and also owned a set ob ProAc Tablette... | |
| Need a monitor while floorstanders in storage How mature. | |
| Need a monitor while floorstanders in storage What about an older set of Signets? They beat out LS35A's in dynamics and have very good bass extension for the size.Not the focus in the highs of a Tablette, but a pretty nice midrange and available for 200 or less all day long. | |
| Speakers for onkyo A-9555 integrated, advice pls? There is a nice set of Thiels on A-gon right now for 1200 that would sing with that amplification. | |
| Preamp Suggestions What did you end up doing?Did you get the Adcom 565? | |
| For the sound, or????? Don, I am not sure if this would be something you would try, but an online friend rid himself of tubes after he auditioned a (I think) 6500 Musical Fidelity. His thing is the way it can be a 500wpc integrated, yet has the "delicacy at low levels l... | |
| Adcom GFA 555 versus Rotel RMB 1095for stereo Maybe next year then. That distance would be a bit high.We plan on making a move to a more politically in synch region.(The Bible belt is becoming more and more toxic with me daily.)Best of luck! | |
| Emotiva XPA-2 I came VERY close to buying a Modulus 3 15 years ago.I could not handle twin volume controls...and once I heard and compared the phono section in the 565 Adcom, I was sold on it for less money.Still, the Audible Illusions represented itself quite ... | |
| For the sound, or????? DonJr, How many other offerings have you auditioned?For 5k+ there are so many choices... |
