| Topping A90 @soix Thanks! I believe the A90 is similar to the A90D in that it has NFCA module for the A90 which you can say space saving where the A90D is NFCA but in discrete design. | |
| Topping A90 I have been using the A90 extensively and all can say is WOW. As a headphone amp I am impressed. It took my TASCAM headphones to whole new level. I still have not used it as a preamp but will soon be the next test. Will see how it goes against my ... | |
| Bass/speaker excursion issues What Hsu Research model do you have? | |
| How do I know when to use a subwoofer? Honestly, it all depends on system to system and the room and many other factors. I do agree a subwoofer may not be mandatory but is there if needed. I my situation and type of music I listen to, I feel a sub is a good addition. @mglik You have ... | |
| Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused. @donavabdear Can also be like buying a perfomance car and knowing which is the best road to drive it on. Good anology. | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? Was the phonogragh considered hifi sound back then? What about the reel to reel? Musical can have variety of meanings but technology have made it to a point where we can enjoy it. | |
| Threshold Stasis S/150 @ghdprentice I have not made a commitment on the amp yet. All I was asking if the Threshold was enough to drive the Vandersteen. My budget is less then 1.5k. | |
| Threshold Stasis S/150 I understand your analogy and you make a valid point but I don’t know the condition of the amp. It could be near mint or have some wear and tear, I don’t know but that is why questions has to asked. Would you by a car that is 30 years old with 30k... | |
| Threshold Stasis S/150 @audioman58 I am not sure if it was rebuilt but I can also get the model FET Two pre with it. I did some research notice that the S/150 models that some have the mkii. The model that the person is selling has the speaker binding post vertical wh... | |
| Subwoofer Choice I agree that SVS are great subs especially for convenience of the app for integrating from the listening position. Another option is the Rythmik Audio F12 subwoofer if direct servo is what you looking for with PEQ3. @james633 The JL E112 is very ... | |
| Threshold Stasis S/150 @totem395 I dont have the specifications for the 2ci since the Vandersteen does not have it available on the website. I am awaiting response. | |
| Threshold Stasis S/150 @totem395 Are you referring to room response? My room is pretty small 10x9x8 | |
| Warming up equipment I leave my system turned on 24/7 unless I am going away for awhile. Yes I agree with the recent posts. SS equipment usually requires no warmup time as far as stability is concern but do require time to open up. Tubes may take much longer for stabi... | |
| Subwoofer Choice @james633 Keep in mind that adding an active crossover is just another piece in the signal chain which if you are ok with that. I am not discourage anyone from not using a crossover and honestly I think it is great with the flexibility if someon... | |
| Subwoofer Choice Honestly I have not tried those models or any of the REL sub for that matter so I cant comment on its performance but i wouldn't limit yourself to one brand. |
