| Good Stereo Speakers for outside use during BBQs, evening pot luck dinners etc I use the ultimate ears boom 2 for outdoor parties, picnics, BBQ, beach and etc. It is waterproof, wireless - it has its own battery, and you string several together to cover your desired area. It’s pretty good value for the money for something so... | |
| B&O BeoLab 90 speakers A friend has them. I would characterize it as clean, detailed, massive bass and not so wide soundstage. There are numerous DSP options and the presentation changes with each option. The narrow beam option, while playing some non bass heavy music ... | |
| Need help ! Looking for a low cost integrated tube amp for my office If low cost is what you are looking for Steve Guttenberg did a review of this inexpensive tube amphttps://youtu.be/vCk12xzivp8 | |
| Thoughts on choosing an amplifier If you really want a Pass XA25, Reno hifi has a used one for $3595. https://renohifi.com/PassUsed/PassUsedInStock.htm | |
| Reasonable integrated amp for Magico A3 I like Jadis tubes with Magico. I’m running Jadis I50 with S1 | |
| Magico A3 vs Magico S1 MK2 one upside to the S1 is that it comes in colors other than black. Makes it easier to integrate to home decor than the A3 that only comes in black. A3 also sounds thin to me compared to the S1. | |
| Logitech Transporter is DEAD - What replacement to recommend? I listen to a lot of classical and international music. Spelling in different languages isn’t easy. Sometimes the names have anglicized variants. | |
| Logitech Transporter is DEAD - What replacement to recommend? I run LMS and SqueezeLite on an opticalRendu and connect to it via iPeng on iOS. I find LMS/iPeng more tolerant of typos than Roon | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil A1 versus A2 Upgrade The Yggdrasil might have a problem driving your amp directly without a preamp. The stereophile measurements showed the Yggdrasil had a much harder time driving a 600 ohm load vs 100k ohm load. | |
| Jadis JA-80: Tubes and speakers. Jadis pairs really well with Magico. | |
| Higher End DACs I don’t have $30k to blow on the Extreme, but my curiosity was piqued when romaz jumped on the Extreme bandwagon saying that it’s better than anything he could possibly build. Now I want to hear it to see what it’s all about. After comparing side ... | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help Best McIntosh demo I’ve heard is at Noho Sound with their multi piece preamp, mono blocks, TAD DAC and large TAD speakers. Consider checking them out the next time you are in NYC. The WOM house looks gorgeous design wise. I haven’t been but would ... | |
| Streamer Advice Lumin, Auralic, Innuos Others? Regarding Innuos, I think the Zen has greater richness than the Zen Mini. So much so that I think it’s worth the upgrade to the Zen if you can afford it. The Zenith brings delicacy compared to the Zen, but quite a bit more expensive. So YMMV | |
| Streamer Advice Lumin, Auralic, Innuos Others? FI’m using the optical rendu and optical module with the SBooster LPS. I think it’s really good bang for the buck if you are willing to be a little more hands on. I think you can get a the oRendu + oModule system for about $2k or less. In general ... | |
