| Music streamers @cleeds,Sorry to hear about your experience with Aurender and it appears you’re still pretty miffed about it. I see very little point in dwelling over the past. Move on please.... | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question “But I now have Vandersteen Treo CT’s and Richard Vandersteen insists his speakers are designed to perform their very best when biwired.”If designer of the speakers says above then my gut tells me you won’t be at peace until you try. I would use C... | |
| Music streamers If you can stretch your budget, get the N100H and call it a day. You also get a ‘killer’ app interface that is considered the very best outside Roon. A dedicated streamer like N100H offers much better sound quality and noise rejection over a lapto... | |
| Questioning Tannoy, Tekton or other possible change. @veerossi,I would call GIK Acoustics for advise on room treatments. They are great to work with and very reasonable compare to the competition. My entire room treatments were under $1500...I am set for life :-) | |
| Audio envy - dang! I have recently added AE Phono Deluxe cable to my analog rig. The DIN connector (straight) is of decent quality and it fits snugly in my SME arm output socket. The shielding is spot on. The cable is very transparent and the sound is extended evenl... | |
| Questioning Tannoy, Tekton or other possible change. +1, mapman. Tannoy and Tektons....two very different speakers. Nothing against Tektons but I will never trade my Tannoy’s for anything out there let alone for Tektons :-)BTW, you have a very nice system. Well balanced but if you’re feeling bored t... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... I ripped my 1K plus collection of CD’s 4 years ago when I bought Vault 2 and then sold most of it for pennies on the dollar. My collection is now reduced to about 200 discs that are mostly SACD, K2HD and XRCD. I wasn’t going to give away those fo... | |
| FM Tuner for audiophiles-is it a bad idea today? Is adding a high-end FM Tuner pointless- Yes, IMO. Instead, download the streaming app, there are several to choose from. You do pay a monthly fee but you get a much better SQ and you’re also in a driving seat as far as what you like to listen. I ... | |
| McIntosh vs Accuphase? Go with Accuphase. Luxman here being toss around a lot because of lower pricing in USA otherwise Accuphase is a superior product both in sound and build quality, IMHO. | |
| What does ‘balance preamp’ mean? Please read up on this article, https://www.stereophile.com/features/335/index.htmlARC Ref 6 SE is a fully-balanced, Class-A design with zero feedback 😊 | |
| SUT into MM input section of Solid State Phono Stage +1, chakster. In most cases, a customized SUT for your MC cart should sound better than your internal phono’s MC step up transformer. | |
| Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget. @goldprintaudio,Thank you for the info, impressive line up. I have owned Shindo and Leben preamps. I may contact you for Leben Phono once I sort out my SUT options. | |
| Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget. @goldprintaudio,What is the US retail of Levante? Are you the US dealer for Riviera? | |
| Advice Regarding Reel-to-Reel ^^^sure...there is always an opportunity to pick through litter and bargain bins :-)Between our posts, OP now knows his choices. | |
| Advice Regarding Reel-to-Reel @oldhvymecI don’t quite get the ‘desire’ to record music that’s already available on another format. First, you need a pristine source and just because it will sound ‘different’ on R2R doesn’t quite justify the long term investment for me. I’m sur... |
