| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @roxy54 Yeah, it just mystifies me why people would want to spend money based on advice from strangers on the internet while providing the least amount of info possible. I guess there is an entertainment factor though. | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @hifidream Yeah, obviously you started with a blueprint and checked off each milestone until you finished. I don’t see how people spend more money on upgrades before getting the room measured properly and dialing in the FR. It is hilarious that ... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @tonywinga Your HT looks great, question, I saw the ATB hooked up to your Marantz, have you tried spatial audio yet?? | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @hifidream I learned a lot in these forums and to piece meal information together to actually execute the idea of an active system was not easy. If you had to start over what would you do first, second, etc? | |
| Yamaha M80 Amp You can sell it as not working for around $500, or buy a service kit and fix it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/155126532945?hash=item241e430b51:g:ozQAAOSwstRhY~LJ | |
| NAD C658 With Tube Power Amp? I would like to find a preamp that takes coax, optical, and HDMI digital inputs, and output to a tube power amp. I would recommend the Marantz 8805 for around $2K. You can run it in stereo, it has balanced inputs, a phono input, a "pure direct" m... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @hifidream everything is jaw dropping. That’s what I call a "budget worthy" component, when it can transform everything. Also interesting that you are running everything full range instead of using a crossover on the mains. Earl Geddes recommen... | |

| Martin Logan on it's side for center channel ?? No. I am sure that will not work well. The floor stander was made to stand. +1. I had a floor stander that matched my L and R speakers so they all matched as a center channel for years. Try it that way and see if you like it. That is how they do ... | |
| recommendation of amps Given that you’re all balanced, perhaps look at Van Alstine DVA M225 mono amps. +1 | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k I primarily listen to LPs, but appreciate the convenience and discoverability that digital provides. I don’t have a digital music library and only stream via Tidal and Spotify. My 2-channel system does double duty as a sound system for our TV as w... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @hifidream Does it sound as good as this graph indicates? I have seen DSP be able to cut the highs, but not lift the dips like this, remarkable. The original signal looks pretty raggedy: | |
| Anyone Tried Bybee's "Quantum Clarifier"'s Inside Your Speakers? My only regret is I listened to the nay sayers who discouraged my willingness to even try. That is a constant factor on the internet, the people with the least experience with a product are the loudest at condemning it. I think these audio karen... | |
| PMC EB1 alternatives - speaker recommendation for a large room I’m looking for speakers with solid bass, capable of an appropriate punch that could easily fill our large listening/living room. It’s 19,5 x 23 feet with 10 ft ceilings. It’s already pretty well acoustically treated except for a diffuser on the f... | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. @mjcmt The Parasound P6 and the Z-Pre 3 sound virtually the same as preamps, that is pretty much silent. The difference is the features, the P6 has a DAC, balanced connections, and a variable crossover for the sub. If you don't need those featur... |
