Who uses ADS Speakers In the mid 80s I sold ADS as well as Kef. we regularly got “special purchase” deals from the distributors. a very fine home audio speaker across the model spectrum. And sorely missed in mobile electronics. I had an ADS amp and speaker tri-a... | |
Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? I’d you use decent quality RCA to RCA cables and they are fairly short, no issues. | |
Think ill just go with a lumin The D2 is a sleeper… excellent product. there is a lot of whining about the app, but if one take the time and learns it, and also has good skills on music library organization, it works perfectly and sounds excellent. $$ it open box items exist. | |
Help with Cartridge choice If your stylus is in good shape, the Ortofon Bronze is quite good. I retired an old Signet TK10ML and installed an Audio Technica ART9XI - very nice. Consider an updated turntable - the New Pro-Ject Debut Pro looks quite good for $1,000. | |
What are your favorite recordings that sound best to you? My old Sheffield Labs vinyl, and GRP and DMP CDs. | |

Preamp Opinion Try out the Parasound P6. Dead quiet, and flexible. | |
Better CD Sound: The Search Yes to Denon. I’ve sold many over my audio sales days. And yes, definitely upper range for better, more natural sound. Currently auditioning an open-box Denon DCD-1600 - a pure CD/SACD player, no ins and outs, just a straight player with no frills... | |
Music Direct and my recent exoeriences A: never had an issue with AA. B: can’t call and speak with a human at MD. Left a message, no reply. Just sayin’ | |
REL vs JL AUDIO I’ve been very happy and impressed with my Rel T9iand the T9x is incrementally better. Very musical yet punch with home theater. Hi or Low input. | |
SACD transport? I’ve not had any real success with a pure SACD players, but have tried the Technics - excellent build, and DACs galore the Denon DCD-A110 looks like a winner. A build like the Technics and all the top end of Denon. Even the Marantz 30n doesn’t l... | |
HiRes lossless FLAC Radio streams Lumin App 7.0.6 still requires a login. I have the latest IOS and have not seen the update you speak of. What is your app version? | |
Referent point “And who is this mythical “tech” you speak of?”😜😂😂😂 good point. In the lack of self-assured knowledge, a phantom ‘agreement’ is often needed. This is about the 5th time I’ve seen this “discussion”…. |
