| NAD C270 vs. NAD C272 I used to own a pair of C272s that I ran in bridged mode as monoblocks. I always thought the sound was good, but I later bought an Emotiva XPA 2 which I found to be better in almost all areas. I loved that amp but sold it because it just wasn't a ... | |
| PS Audio Trio C-100 integrated. Opinions?? That's interesting. I didn't know there were two different versions. Do you remember where you read that? I'm curious to read more about it. How were you able to determine which of your units was v1 versus v2?I bought this one used off of Audiogon... | |
| Monitors for a small room - please help Thanks for all the input. Just an update, I bought a used Rotel RA-1520 last week and am still awaiting its arrival. I read many reviews on it that say it sounds pretty good, so I'm looking forward to hearing it. Last Saturday I had the chance to ... | |
| Sennheiser HD 650's thin sounding? I briefly owned the 650s but sold them cause I couldn't stand them. Moved up to the Denon AH-D7000 and haven't looked back. | |
| I'm looking for a preamp to go with Emotiva XPA-2 Let us know how it goes with the Modwright. I actually just sold my XPA-2 recently because I moved into a small listening room and couldn't use the amp to its potential. It really needs turned up to sound its best. But I did consider buying a tube... | |
| LSA 1 Monitors in a small room?? Thanks for all the input, guys. When the time is right (within the next few months), I am going to probably give the LSA1 "standard" edition a try. I would go for the statement, but I have to stick to a budget, since I need to buy an integrated am... | |
| Monitors for a small room - please help Drdennis: The toys are tempting, but I have a feeling they would be very shy in the bass area. I'm not expecting to get a thunderous amount of bass from any monitors, but I think those might be a little too bass-shy for me. Other than that, I'm su... | |
| Monitors for a small room - please help I should have put the budget in my original post. I'm trying to stay around $2000 for integrated amp *and* monitors. I already have a turntable, phono stage, and DAC, so I'm not rebuilding entirely from scratch. I know $2000 is a somewhat constrai... | |
| Mid-priced warm sounding DAC? Wow a 5 year old thread of mine. My how my system has changed since I posted this. But as for your question, I've got a PS Audio Digital Link III which I find to be pretty smooth sounding. I don't know if I'd call it overly warm, but it does have ... | |
| no excitement from my Cambridge 840 cd Lwood: the 840 actually uses dual AD1955 dac chips, not Wolfson. Most of the lower Cambridge players, including the DacMagic, use Wolfson dacs. | |
| Just when I thought digital could not match analog No offense, but this appears to be shilling. Sdfish's first post on Audiogon (after signing up this month) is a rave about a new product with little publicity. I was actually very curious about this Dac a few weeks ago, but the return policy is no... | |
| What gives? CD’s, Solid State? I've been struggling for a few years now, trying to get a digital front end that is as pleasing as my vinyl rig. It's not that I WANT my vinyl to sound better, that's just the way it has been. I would love to enjoy the convenience of digital and h... | |
| dustcover up, down or off I used to own a Music Hall mmf 5.1, and noticed within the first month of ownership noticed that it sounded much better with the dust cover removed. What everyone else is saying here is correct: it acts like a microphone and causes the plinth and ... | |
| Does anyone have any experience with Emotiva ? I'm considering trying the ERC-1 to replace my DacMagic. I'm finding that my DacMagic has problems with grain in the treble. The ERC-1 appears to have a much better power supply design, so this may result in better performance treble over the DacM... | |
| Treble Grain? How to Eliminate? I've also always had a suspicion that treble issues can be related to noisy power. I've tried connecting the DacMagic wall wart both to the wall and to my PS Audio UPC-200, but the UPC-200 only makes a marginal difference. The headphones I use are... |
