| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? You always want to start with the amp. Always. In fact, the pervasive view among most “experts” I know feel that the most important part of the system is the first 6 feet out from your wall. So I’d recommend a power generator like the PS Audio P5 ... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range I have a dealer friend in another market who is a Focal dealer and he swears by them. I have never heard them personally, but for my money I believe it is IMPOSSIBLE to beat Dyanudio Confidence C2’s. 17.5K for the pair and deals can be gotten out ... | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? I own the DirectStream DAC and never dreamed a component with an MSRP OF 6k could deliver audio equal to or better than vinyl. This unit is SUPERB and heartily recommend. And PS Audio provides firmware updates at no charge and the latest update ma... | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? I have the iconic Krell FPB 300cx, purchased new in 2001. It’s a Class A amp and does an excellent job driving my Dyanudio Confidence C2 speakers. The sound is glorious and while I’m not looking to make a move today, I AM looking to at some near f... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? Current consensus among most audio gurus is that the most important part of a system is the first 6 feet out from the wall to eliminate noise coming from your power provider. Some deliver as much as 3% THD. I get on average 1,5% from APS here in ... | |
| New Class A/B under $6K, your recommendation? Sorry, but I forgot to include the links! http://bryston.com/products/power_amps/4B-3.htmlhttps://www.anthemav.com/products-current/type=amplifier/series=mca-series-gen2 | |
| New Class A/B under $6K, your recommendation? I have two power amps: I have the iconic Krell FPB 300cx 2.0 stereo amp for my mains and this new Anthrm 3 channel for my other 3 speakers. The Anthem 2 Channel amp is an impressive sounding amp. I LOVE my 3 channel and it is in great company of... | |
| Would "Sgt. Pepper's" be a better album if..... With all due respect to the hypothetical question you posit here, with my full disclosure that my intention is by no means to denigrate let me ask the rhetorical question if I may: given that Sergeant Pepper is largely regarded by most all legi... | |
| Big Krells Have Vanished From The Used Market Guys, there will never be a better amp made, pound for pound, than the FPBcx series - 300, 400, and 600 WPC. There ARE some that occasionally hit the used market, though agreed considerably less often than even 3-5 years back. I nearly pulled the ... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? Find a way to budget for Nordost Heimdall 2, not just speaker cables but their interconnects as well. You could get by with Blue Heaven for rear surrounds but Heimdall worth the stretch. You will hear a HUGE difference. I have all Nordost includi... | |
| Help in selecting 1 of 3 amplifiers What is your budget? For my money you can't get a better DAC at ANY price than the PS Audio DirectStream DAC. Sublime. Converts digital to DSD which simulates analog on an oscilloscope. Go to their website and check out the reviews, videos, etc. I... | |
| What ever happened to Krell ? Krell is alive and well. The company certainly survived some dark and challenging days but has rebounded in a significant way. Yes, they'll likely not ever return to making the "muscle machines" on which their reputation rested for so many years.... | |
| NEED HELP WITH DAC UPGRADE I don't think you can beat the PS Audio DirectStream Dac. Expensive but a value when compared to many others. It's a wonder of breakthrough design and engineering. | |
| Music Server format? In my experience, supported by most audiophile gurus I KNOW is very simple and straightforward. Here is all you need to know. Get a Mac Mini as your music server to install via a quality USB cable to a quality DAC. IMHO the best DAC is DirecStream... | |
| DACs that upsample to DSD internally? PS Audio makes the iconic and hugely popular DirectStream DAC. This DAC converts PCM TO DSD and outputs (as do all DACS) via analogue through your preamp. Spectacular results that produce analogue like results. I run Nodost cable from my DAC to my... |
