| is this the greatest live band of all time? The Dead 68-72 is to me the greatest live band of all time. | |
| to my ears digital audio does not sound natural? something is wrong! I hate to break this to you but not only is digital man made so is music itself and recordings. | |
| Transport identification According to this old Canuck Audiomart ad it’s a Phillips CD Prohttps://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649633485-pacific-valve-aulne-cyclone-cd-transport/Upon closer look it looks like you're the seller in this ad did you just guess as to the las... | |
| Amplifier Upgrade Decision To the OP congrats on your updated system! I've heard the Bricasti gear at Cap Audiofest the last couple years driving Tidal speakers and sounding excellent. | |
| I am looking for help selecting an amplifier to match my Revel F228Be speakers. Mark Levinson would seem to be a natural match since they are designed with Revel. You might also consider the Krell K-300i I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by it in a show setting, Or since you seem to like the YBA sound these look lik... | |
| Should I leave an Old Krell FPB 400 cx on all the time? Standby is the way to go, turning the amp totally on and off can stress the caps more than just leaving it on or partially on (standby). | |
| McIntosh C2700 or Luxman L38uC Tubes do not "just add distortion" they are very linear amplifying devices and what distortion is present is benign even order harmonics. I concur with ei001h between the two Luxman is the way to go. They are building some fantastic sounding gorge... | |
| Parasound P6 DAC vs Denafrips Aries ii Dac differences tend to be small relative to other changes and can be harder to distinguish in quick listening. Either give it more time to see if differences emerge or be happy with the sound of your P6 and move the Aries elsewhere. | |
| Should I leave an Old Krell FPB 400 cx on all the time? It's a class A amp and uses a lot of electricity I would keep it in standby when not listening and flip it on 30 mins to an hour before listening. | |
| Recommendations for fast sounding cables The reason your system sounds slow is your Reisong amp can't power your speakers properly. Cables really won't help the matter, a different SET amp with a better power supply would be better. I wouldn't waste money buying new cables to save a sub-... | |
| Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match Focals can certainly be bright if poorly paired I ran a pair of original Micro-Utopia's for years paired with a PP tube amp and never found them bright. I've only heard Gryphon in a show setting with their own speakers the sound was neutral but I... | |
| Power Cord Placement #1stworldproblems :) But seriously it does depend on the design as stated above. I like the layout of my tube amp inputs front left corner, captive AC cable back left corner, binding posts center. I don't move or change things much so not as much ... | |
| Minimonitors Audio Note AN-K's should do the trick and be easily driven by your tube amps. As a bonus they can be placed near walls or corners if needed. | |
| Preamplifier, in need of input +1 on Audio Note M3 the M3 Phono Balanced has balanced in and outputs both and sounds amazing. | |
| Trouble casting Qobuz from laptop to Cambridge CXN V2 Why are you using your laptop? The Cambridge has it's own app and streams Qobuz natively, you don't need your laptop or the Qobuz app to do it. |
