| Spendor D7, D9 but no love Classic 100? Congratulations for your new speakers !I don’t think it’s a good idea to put the D7s directly on your maple hardwood floors with no spikes. no isolation from the floor can degrade the sound severely . | |
| ATC SCM 40 v 2 and tube amplifiers The ATC SCM 40 needs power due their low sensitivity especially on high volume listening, I doubt that 32 watts tube amp can drive them properly. | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 The Harbeth 40.2 are wonderful speakers but need very large space to fulfill their huge potential IMO your space will not work for them. | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 I currently own the D30RS and all I can say that they exceed my expectations by far first they sounded a little bit blur,weak dynamics and laid back after a very long break-in they are now wonderful their ribbon twitters give very natural life lik... | |
| Need Suggestions Your Avalon Opus speakers are very hard to beat, very good speakers I wonder if there is any need to change them at all. | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 @avanti1960 It’s a matter of synergy between speakers & system and personal taste too,the best piano sound I heard is with my Proac D30 RS ribbon twitters and with Harbeth 40.2 which I heard at high end show. | |
| Spendor D7, D9 but no love Classic 100? The Spendor same as Proac speakers do need a long break in period and you have to be very patient . they might sound very terrible at the beginning but after long break-in they are spectacular (if they have proper system to move them of course). | |
| Confused About Relative Sonic Impact of DAC VS. Transport "I’m still hearing fatiguing highs with other CDs that were not evident with the Jolida. "The Heed is much better than the Jolida I suspect it is more revealing on bad recordings, One of the characters of bad recording is bright highs which causin... | |
| Confused About Relative Sonic Impact of DAC VS. Transport The Simaudio 260T needs about 200 hours break in period but my impression is that you'll hear immediately that it's better than the Heed.SPDIF cable is inferior to coax I don't recommend to change it but quality coax and rca cables are a must to a... | |
| Confused About Relative Sonic Impact of DAC VS. Transport "do agree that the Jolida was affecting the sound, as there was much greater consistency from one CD to the next. ""At first, I enjoyed the increased resolution" good high end transport designed to be more revealing and detailedThat’s meaning that... | |
| how do you know if you need a dac ? "Preamp is rca only, so if I wanted to try the xlr from the Ayre , would have to get the adapters.....and not sure if would make a difference ? could try I guess."Don’t do it. adapters may degrade the sound ,rca are good enough. Your player has al... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 OR Spendor Classic 100 OR ?? I heard the Harbeth 40.2 at hi fi show and was deeply impressed. Certainly one of the best speakers I ever heard although their dynamics wasn't great. | |
| how do you know if you need a dac ? The Ayre CX-7 has also 2 xlr and unbalanced analog outputs,You should try them and see if the sound is better than the digital xlr you should use it instead. usually in this level CD players have very good build in dac I am not sure you need stand... | |
| Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC? "I came away with the same conclusion and suspect it’s high jitter output as the basis for that conclusion. The Jay’s Audio CDT2 MK2 is extraordinary in its presentation of Redbook audio discs. Not surprisingly, it has very low jitter."@celander Y... | |
| PSB T3 I have not heard better bass from a floor standing/tower, have you? Under $7.5K The Proac Response DT8 are cost well bellow the PSB are very easy to drive and have huge dynamics and soundstage ,and powerful bass . I am not familiar with better speakers than this Proac's at this price level. |
