| Best budget streamer on the market now? I consider that the Node N100, 2, and 2i are all a good choice not just because they sound good, but because the BluOS apps and total capability of streaming, from paid services and any radio station that streams to even some pretty obscure podcas... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? William Tyler - "Goes West"Went to see him at a small coffeehouse in Keene NH last night and got to speak with him before & after the show. Bought the LP from him and he signed it. Inside the jacket was a card from Merge Records with numbers t... | |
| What equipment have you bought this year so far ? NAD Masters M10.No more equipment for this year is the plan, though I've never been very good about sticking to any plan. ;) | |
| NAD D3045 vs NAD C268 for KEF LS50 - which amp for greatest synergy with KEF LS50? The C326BEE is a Class A-B integrated amp, while the C268 is a Class D power amp. Two very different animals. The D3045 is also a Class D, but integrated and has a DAC that the C326BEE doesn't have.You might look for a C356BEE, which is a little m... | |
| NAD D3045 vs NAD C268 for KEF LS50 - which amp for greatest synergy with KEF LS50? I dunno, maybe. With my LS50's I progressed though an NAD D3020 to a Bluesound Powernode 2, to now an NAD Masters M10. The D3020 could be described as lean. Nothing lean about the M10. Some might say bright, I say it's simply giving smooth extende... | |
| Best audio companies and dealers I'll second the nomination for local retailer with Audio Video Therapy of Nashua NH. They're a little further from me than four other well-known-to-the-area retailers and just a couple miles from another who is known to be a brand importer in addi... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? Anyone with experience to share regarding Rogers EH series? I found a dealer within a one-hour drive and like the looks...and obviously the specs looks great. | |
| How much would I lose going to a Bluesound Node 2i I have Bluesound Powernode 2 to my desktop KEF LS50’s (passive), a Bluesound Vault 2 in my guest room setup, and BlueOS on my NAD T758v3 in the living room 5.1.2 setup. I like them all but know there’s more to be had from the LS50’s. When my deale... | |
| KEF for Near-field? I’ve heard all of the ones mentioned except the X300A. I have passive LS50’s on my desktop now, but would have the LSX if they were available when I sprung $900 for the LS50’s that really are a little too large for this application. The LSX is a k... | |
| KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4? I'm confused about the comment regarding KEF Muon being a copy of the Dynaudio C4. I just don't see any sort of resemblance. The Muon, introduced in 2008 is an all-aluminum cabinet shell with activated carbon damping material lining it. The Muon c... | |
| Help me upgrade my speakers? I like your idea of Totem Element Fire! Those are incredible. With every speaker Totem makes, I'm continually amazed at how much they get out of a given sized box. It's baffling, but in a very good way. | |
| Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5 Wow, I don't know when I've ever read the same crap over and over again from the same person, he gets called out on it, and just keeps doing it.He pats himself on the back about all he's "learned", yet can understand basic writing etiquette, synta... | |
| Dealers That Sell Large Volumes of Used Gear Online Reading all of these I see Spearit Sound mentioned several times. They closed for good last fall. The new factory refurbished B-Stock dealer for NAD is now Safe & Sound HQ of Chicopee MA. I believe they got a couple of guys from Spearit Sound ... | |
| $1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee I have 3 cats, and KEF R500, driven by an NAD T758. The cats totally ignore the speakers, and they look great (to me) without the magnetic attached grills. They don't bother with the speakers even with the grills on, though if they did the grills ... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass That larger room is what the Blade needs to sing. And man, they do. Like no other speaker I've heard, when they have the space around them is where they work best and have a remarkable ability to project the most defined soundstage I've ever heard... |
