| Help with up to $1500 streamer To augment my description of the Teac above, although the player itself doesn’t display the album artwork on its small screen (which shows input type and resolution, among others), the phone/tablet control app does and works well. | |
| Help with up to $1500 streamer I'm going to be also looking in the 1000-1500 range in a year or two as an upgrade for my bedroom system. I'm hoping Cambridge Audio by then updates their 851N to have a better dac chip (32 bit, hopefully full MQA support, and hopefully good AK o... | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system Powernode 2i dropped in price to $750 today on Crutchfield. | |
| First Post- what not to do Do not move heavy speakers with sharp spikes thereunder while barefoot | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? I also replaced entire stereo system 2-3 months ago, and while I can't really cognitively notice the burn-in changes over that time, I have been amazed by the audible changes that even very minute speaker and sub placement/angling differences can ... | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system This quest has been interesting. Unlike my main rig overhaul effort, where I (no kidding) probably spent close to 50 hrs auditioning in person at least 15-20 speaker sets and amps before settling on D7’s (that were auditioned 3-4 times kept coming... | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system Looked hard at very inexpensive Paradigm PW Amp and Klipsch PowerGate, both 24 bit class D streamer amps for about $200. Was more interested in the Klipsch and almost pulled trigger on it, but now I’ve eliminated each of them. Ive sort of swung up... | |
| Speaker selector app. With the new D7.2’s now announced, new Spendor D7 can probably be found for $5k-5.5k but they don’t play to 20 Hz (upper 20’s). I pair mine with REL S5 and sounds great but you won’t quite be able to get there at 6k. Maybe $7k though??? | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers I'm not a Wilson expert, but I believe also in that video the Wilson speakers used are from the Watt/Puppy lineage, from which the current Sasha DAW derives. So yeah, pretty good bet that Sasha DAW's with ARC is a solid combo. | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers Troy,I’m sure that’s true about some cases of manufacturer partnering to share equipment, but dig deeper and the Wilson / Audio Research connection seems to run especially tight.For example, check out the May 21 Soundstage video of Audio Research ... | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers If you follow Wilson Audio on Twitter, by far the most commonly tweeted photos of amps that Wilson tweets or retweets with their speakers are Audio Research. Often at shows but also in retail demo rooms or research test or development sessions. Th... | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? Mine was a combination of helpful advice that I got 30 years ago from a wise audio salesman and the revelation that occurs when it transpires. I was in the market for new speakers but the variety was mindboggling across numerous showrooms. The adv... | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system As I wrestle with this choice I keep finding other lower-cost potential options that if I go with might free up some capital to upgrade system 2 sooner.So now in addition to Powernode 2i, Yamaha WXA-50, I'm also considering the $200ish Paradigm PW... | |
| Seeking Streaming Receiver Recommendations Speakers that I used most with those receivers in making the assessments were B&W CDM1NT's (old but still love them) with the Marantz and both NHT C1 and Spendor SA1 with Integra. All bookshelf/mini-monitor/stand-mount. The Integra with the ... | |
| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? Cool! I like how that little dac looks and like the reputation of the company. Let us know how she sounds! |
