| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions @dodgealum +1 | |
| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions Since your Yamaha AVR is both preamp and DAC why don’t you bring it with you and have John hook it up to the ATCs? Then you would have a much better idea of what the combination sounds like. That’s what I would do. | |
| Just compared Monster M2.2 and ZU Mission speaker cables Many years ago, a dealer loaned my a pair of M 2.2s to audition. I have had many changes in equipment since so I don’t recall exactly what I was using at the time. I do recall that they came in a plastic case, were thick and heavy, and appeared t... | |
| New TV With an Unknown Audio Out Jack? Seems to me you will need a standard toslink connector on one end and a mini on the other. They aren’t very expensive and you may be able to find one locally or last resort order one online. Also, the TV might possibly come with one or an adapter. | |
| New TV With an Unknown Audio Out Jack? Did your TV come with a manual? Can you access one for your particular model? That hole looks like an optical output but weird that it doesn’t have a cover. If it is a digital output you usually need to select that as the output in the TV audio ... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Lucinda Williams and her band in October. Thoroughly enjoyed the music and stories she told. I admire her talents and strength despite her physical limitations (unable to play guitar) while still recovering from a stroke. | |
| A person I would like to thank/mention in the history of the high end, H. H. Scott, Avery Fisher, David Hafler, Peter Jensen | |
| Kyrocera Home Audio @plinko May I ask where you had your A-710 restored? I am located in the midwest. | |
| My VERY POSITIVE Experience with VTV and Warren Coleman (Attention: Sound Lab Owners!) @bouncehit Congrats on finding a great match. Though I do not own Sound Labs yet I do lust after them after hearing them with 400 watt Classe mono blocks many years ago. What other amps have you owned or auditioned with your sound labs? Apprecia... | |
| Ayre owners and preamp options: seeking advice Hi @aubullience , I'm the OP on this thread. Ayre electronics are a great choice because they sound great, are reliable, and backed by a solid company that offers great customer service. I made a few changes to my system since my original post. Fi... | |
| Looking for high power warming sounding tube amps @ghdprentice interesting description. What preamp are you using with the ARC 160 monos? | |
| Anyone compare Zesto with Backert preamps? Both the Backert Labs and Zesto preamps are expected to be an improvement over my Ayre K-1xe which is itself an excellent preamp. I do plan to audition both preamps though it looks like I may need to travel a bit to do it since no dealers nearby. | |
| Anyone compare Zesto with Backert preamps? Good to know you had a very positive experience with the Zesto. It is high on my list. Sounds like you have not auditioned the toolshed pre before ordering it. | |
| Anyone compare Zesto with Backert preamps? @oddiofyl I remember checking into toolshedamps about a year ago and discovered they are a local company! | |
| Integrated Amp Shopping Decisions Generally speaking, I don't think it's a bad thing to have "too much power" unless you overdrive your speakers or the sound quality is compromised. It seems unlikely that you would do that in a smallish room. In addition, the extra power could be ... |
