| Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer @muaythai You did not indicate a budget or indicate input output requirements. I use a Wyred4Sound 10th anniversary DAC and an Aurender 100H server with a Linn Unidisc 1.1. I believe the Cambridge CXC CD transport only has an SPDIF and Optical... | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Some of my favorites. I can go on but as requested only three. 1. Katja Werka, Music is the Only Language (I Know), Contact Myself 2.0, Stockfish Records. Virtuoso guitar work, phenomenal voice, excellent composition, and Stockfish recording en... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? I hope this will not be a second post. I think first time failed. Apology if it is. I also love your analogy and complement you on starting this provocative thread. I agree with your position. Herewith, is my prospective. The education o... | |
| Full range speakers, 40"-44" max height @piramis Listen to the Vivid Giya G3 (45.7”H) or Kaya 90s (47”H) a little over your H-requirement. I currently use the G3. It’s a 4 driver 5 way system. Lower mid, mid, and HF drivers are grouped close like in a monitor. Drivers are time/pha... | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server Thank you all for your feedback. I will go with my original gut feel and the consensus of the group in improving power conditioning to a pre owned Shunyata Denali or Audience Adept Response T4 or TS0X rather than improving the server. Clean powe... | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? My first system purchased in 1973 was a Pioneer SX828 with Large Advent speakers, an Advent cassette deck, a Thorens TD160 turn table, and a Sure V15 Cartridge. The Pioneer, putting out 54 watts into 8 Ohms, is currently driving DCM Time Windows... | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server PS Baylinor. I forgot to add speakers are like me at 68…unusual, fat, and funny looking. Go on the Vivid website to see other angles. Really an intelligent design. Also like me in old age. Design of drivers and cabinet to cancel rear waves, ... | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server Maxwave Room with L-dinning room and hall venting actually does not affect frequency response. Speaker technology makes them not room sensitive. Depth is reduced by wall units but still perceptible. My goal is determining best ROI for general ... | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server Lots and Curiousjim. I have a deal in writing from a dealer. My N100H for a preowned N10. $3k. Reviews say N10 much better. Still personally siding with improving conditioner to preowned Denali based on feedback I have received. | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server Baylinor Yes. Depth is not optimal but all Vivid’s are known for their holographic effects and I still get depth and palpable imaging. The speakers are known to be forgiving of room placement. I am not doing them justice but it’s the best I ca... | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server BlissHiFi Thank you. Would love the N200 but it puts me over budget to a preowned N10. | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server GDHPRENTICE Changing albums is a challenge. My wife only hears noise. At least my son understands and comments on clarity approaching reality. System setup is non negotiable no matter what expense is invested on her , unless in retirement we m... | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server WillGolf, I will look into the QSA Jitter Conditioner. Thanks for the recommendation. | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server ddrave44 and Willgolf Thank you. I am a firm believer in clean power and I am siding on moving to the Denali vs improving the server to the Aurender N10. However, reviews also indicate a big difference in the N10 vs the N100H. Thank you. | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server Thank you. No, I cannot do any of your recommendations. Moving speakers will block flow patterns, the wall unit is a WAF requirement, the wall unit glass reflections is possible where I can buy a panel and put it in place for serious listing, I... |
