| Anyone Streaming Tidal or Amazon Music HD on Marantz ND8006? Can’t speak to the 8006 or Amazon, but I have a marantz AVR and streaming Tidal via Heos works well. I am awaiting delivery on back ordered marantz pm7000n for third system, to replace a Bluesound Powernode 2. BlueOS is a bit better than Heos, fea... | |
| Monitor speakers for true bookshelf location Spendor and NHT are sealed, no ports. I own Spendor D1 and SA1; NHT C1, SuperOne 2.1, and Absolute Zero. The quality on each is pretty much commensurate with the price of each. | |
| A/V Receiver Recommendation for a newby. My advice would be to get the best Marantz AVR you can for $1k. Marantz puts out new models every year, and when they do the old ones go on sale about 40% off. So their $1.5k (or whatever it is) will probably go for $1k new at that point.It’ll hav... | |
| GE Triton 2+ or Focal Aria 936? I listened to both at dealer in same system and much preferred the 936 for music. Electronics may have been Rotel. Can’t remember for sure.i expected going in to like the GE better based on reviews but really did not think they sounded very good. ... | |
| Teac NT505 firmware update v1.22 Glad to hear, OP. If you have any issues with version 1.22 firmware, post back and let everyone know. Based on another thread I have been holding off upgrading to 1.22 (sticking with 1.21) because 1.21 has been working perfectly for me so didn't s... | |
| All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only Heshfran have you compared your Pass or ML to latest Luxman integrateds just under $10k? Appreciated the comparisons between Pass and ML?Also, if you care to share, what is powering the two non-SS systems? | |
| Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in Sorry to hear you’re not liking them. Keep breaking them in and don’t give up for several hundred hrs | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal Yikes, yeah let me also add condolences about your sight, missed that on initial perusal of thread. Hope it’s a temporary condition... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ I also own SA1’s and extensively demo’d A7’s on same electronics, same room as D7 before getting D7. I agree with the Stereophile rankings, D7 much better than A7 and SA1, which do seem like B speakers. I haven’t heard the Harbeths so don’t have a... | |
| Ethernet Cables When I switched from cat6 to cat7 cable I experienced significantly fewer dropouts | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal For those with both, which is better for Blues music for selection and features, if you know? Thx | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ twoleft: perhaps, but Spendor has not been one of those brands. Stereophile gave B ratings to Spendor A7 and SA1, just like it gave the Harbeth | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ Stereophile has reviewed both speakers, and ranks Spendor D7 as a class A speaker (the lowest price tower at time to get such a ranking), and ranks the Harbeth class B. FWIW. | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) I wouldn’t want damaged ones though. I think that’d be the play for me if I was in market for $500 used bookshelves. Wait for a clean pair of used Dyn x14 at 500ish. They sell new for 800 or 900 for last 6 months at least so eventually should be s... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) I agree on those x14. Before I got the Kefs I was thinking possibly new x14s at $800 or 900 whatever they go for now but didn’t want to spend that much. Then the Kefs went on sale at 300. But the Dyns are better for sure IMO. I also think those x1... |
