| Amplifier recommendation @viridian What you suggest I should go to? The Rotel RC-995 might be outdated to today standards but I still think is a good value preamp that uses a beefier PS with a toroidal tranformer and balanced outputs. Compare to my previous model RC-980BX... | |
| Amplifier recommendation Thanks again for the recommendations. I think I am down to a couple models, the Odyssey Khartago or even the Hegel H160. I like the Hegel concept using a built in DAC in an integrated amp. | |
| Amplifier recommendation @kennyc Thanks! I heard great things about the Odyssey amps. What are you thoughts on the Khartago model compare to the Stratos model? They seem to have similar topology with the exception of more PS caps capacity on the Stratos model. @samac the... | |
| Amplifier recommendation @samac Thanks for the recommendation. The RB-1590 does look sleek but for my speakers might be too much. The RB-1582 might be more suited for my taste. What about the mkii model? Is there an improvement from the original? | |
| Amplifier recommendation @yyzsantabarbara I was not referring CODA silky midrange in particular. The Krell model is 5x the price of the CODA I mentioned. | |
| Topping D90SE compatibility question @itball Thanks for the information. I currently use a Focusrite 2i2 as a DAC and for measurements. I also have a Modi 2 Uber which I use mainly for headphone listening. I just wanting to know if there is a significant difference between the 2i2 a... | |
| Amplifier recommendation I appreciate all of the responses. I may be vague on what I am looking for. It seems everyone like that smooth silky midrange sound as the main priority. Don't get me wrong when it comes to vocals and instrumental but I also like to keep it real ... | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? @yoyoyaya @mrdecibel +1 | |
| Listening to what we Like Instead of what we have to @sirmelvin27 We have similar taste in music. Pat Benatar-Shadows of the Night is a good example of what a bad recording sound like even the remastered version but that is not going to stop me from listening to her music which I like. The Paradigm ... | |
| Bookshelf speaker recommendations @garyalex Thanks for the link @grislybutter Interesting link. Thanks! | |
| Bookshelf speaker recommendations @lanx0003 I know exactly what I am talking about. Like i said earlier post, we seem to interpret data differently. -3db and 3db dip at crossover point is the same thing. If there was a sub which I do would be a xo point just like xo in the speaker... | |
| Bookshelf speaker recommendations @lanx0003 -3db is the xo point between two bands, not the slope. I would have said 3db/oct. | |
| Bookshelf speaker recommendations No offense intended. We just happen to see different view point on the matter of what we see a budget set. I only set my budget at 1.2k because I know at that price point wither new or used is a good starting point. Can I go higher on my budget, m... | |
| Bookshelf speaker recommendations @lanx0003 My expectations is high, maybe but a better question should be asked, should I expect to get higher quality sound at a higher price tag? That is where expectations are high also. | |
| Bookshelf speaker recommendations @glennewdick Thanks for the link. Nice broad of speaker brand. I have listen to every speakers in a short period of time with headphones. To my ears, I find the Sonus Faber sonetto sounding the best with a true, balance sound. Then again it is a l... |
