| Suggestions needed What DAC are you using that needs a "mini" cable to connect to the MZ2? | |
| Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps If you're looking to add tube warmth that can be adjusted then you will get more with the BHK with NOS 12AU7 or even 6DJ8 tubes than you will get from the ARC with it's Sovtek/EH 6H30 tubes. The non-Reference models may still give you rolling opt... | |
| another what speaker cable for vandersteen Unless you want to make your own from Dueland 12ga which is simple, Signal Cable is a good sounding reasonably priced cable with Vandersteen. I used them with 2CE Sigs and Treo's. http://signalcable.com/ultraspeaker.html | |
| streamers under $1500 Sonica is an option but not the 205. But in the OP's case won't work as it doesn't output digital only analog. | |
| streamers under $1500 The Music Room is advertising that he has NIB Aries Femto's for $899. From experience the Aries into the MP-D2 via AES/EBU is a great combo. | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho Put saved search on HiFi Shark for a pair of Otello's. Still too early yet but a pair will show up eventually. Another option is to call Paul at High Fidelity Services and ask him to put out feelers for when a pair is traded in for a higher model. | |
| streamers under $1500 Your best bets in that price range are a used Auralic Aries or a Lumin D1. The Aries Mini was a real bargain but has been discontinued. If you had your own DAC it did everything you would need including the ability to add internal storage. Whil... | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 Of the three you're auditioning the PMC should have the highest WAF and based on your stated sound requirements would be my first choice. Also with the front facing transmission line should be the easiest to place in the room. | |
| Planning out a PS-Audio Stack, seeking advice balance of hardware vs dollars avalible rdocBased on the rave reviews plus what I have been told by friends that own it you can't really go wrong with the MicroZotl especially since it is about a third of the price of the BHK. The BHK would seem to be the obvious choice but if money co... | |
| Planning out a PS-Audio Stack, seeking advice balance of hardware vs dollars avalible Conscience choice as I didn't feel like I needed the power or the extra heat (Florida Summers) from the 300's with my speakers at the time which were Nola KO's. My 250 sits out in front of the Timbernation rack on a spiked 3" thick maple butcher ... | |
| Tube Line Stage Preamp to Drive Class D Amp GeorgeHave you actually seen or heard a Freya much less owned one. If not how do you know what it is capable of other than reading spec sheets. | |
| Tube Line Stage Preamp to Drive Class D Amp NCore amps work well with tube preamps at least the NC500 based ones do so the NC400 ones should be no different. There is a remote controlled Odyssey Candela for sale on Audio Circle for $950. Quality preamp for a good price. https://www.audioc... | |
| Planning out a PS-Audio Stack, seeking advice balance of hardware vs dollars avalible Get the BHK preamp and the 250 from one of the discounting dealers to start and then once that is integrated with the Directstream and the Elipsa's then worry about new subs vs regenerator. If you have a fairly dedicated transformer from the powe... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Mine has been running continuously now for well over 200 hours and tonight I ran it fairly hard for over an hour with my Verity Otello's which are spec'd at 93 db but in reality are probably below 90 db. I measured the top of the case in six diff... | |
