| Universal room treatments Good to hear that you’re thinking about room treatments from get go (for most people it’s an afterthought). I would contact GIK Acoustics for a free consultation. Good luck with your room and system! | |
| Higher End DACs All those who chimed in saying ‘non-MQA support would be a deal breaker’.....while I respect their opinion, I would not discard any DAC/Streamer choices solely based on this feature. With ‘right’ components, Tidal HiFi and Qobuz Hi-Res files upto ... | |
| MoFi - Are You Kidding Me? You guys are hilarious. OP freaking out over finger prints...i guess it must be a serious offense to justify a thread....LOL! +1, @elliotbnewcombjr and @tablejockey. | |
| Higher End DACs “I would be curious what ’level’ of DAC would you say is commensurate with my general Mcintosh system of c1100/611 and B&W 800 d3 speakers?is the MSB line/T+A 3100 overkill? is it the next step up that would be lost in my current system, above... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Given OP budget of $2K, he is unlikely to find anything decent in ARC preamp range. Don’t think he wants to own a 10 plus years old ARC preamp. IME, ARC is a very linear sounding, they sound more like solid state than any other tube preamp I’ve he... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? “While I cannot listen to many of the brands/makers being suggested”One way to accomplish this, either plan a trip to AXPONA in April or wait until RMAF in October. If taking a trip is not possible then I would make a list of all of the brands bei... | |
| Replacing a Sonos Connect with another Streamer - The digital dilemma! CXN should be a better alternative to Node 2i. | |
| Ditching Roon going back to BluOS for Bluesound Node 2i @dtximages,Roon is not needed to enjoy streaming from Tidal/Amazon or Qobuz. It’s just a matter of personal preference...BluOS is simple and easy to follow. I have dropped Roon after the trial based on your #4 & #5. | |
| Trade all my Amazon Alexa Echos for Sonos for whole home audio? First off, 15 Echo devices are quite a lot...before your switch to Sonos or anything else, have you checked your network speed? It may be getting bogged down by so many devices in your household hence causing dropouts. Check with you service provi... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? In your price range, look at offerings from Modwright Instruments. Dan is a great designer and provides awesome customer service. | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker @thyname,PM sent! | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker I don’t think reclocker is flying off the shelf...other day I saw a dealer ad for a reclocker + USB cable bundle at a discounted price. It would be interesting to see how many non-statement owners see this unit as a true value proposition. | |
| Items for sale without remotes. Interesting topic in the sense who’s still using stock remotes....in this day and age where everything can be controlled by a single app. I have not used original remotes supplied with my electronics in over a decade. All electronics in my system ... | |
| BEST S.S. AMP FOR TANNOY 15'' SPEAKERS I have done few comparisons and to my ears nothing else came close to the pairing of Accuphase with Tannoy’s. I am currently using E-650 Integrated with my Canterbury’s and couldn’t be any happier. Accuphase sound is perfectly balanced and rich. T... | |
| Vertical bi amping Mcintosh MC275 and Rotel RB-1582 MkII Both @mijostyn and @georgehifi has given good advice. You shouldn’t try bi-amping the two amps on hand without a gain control switch. In your situation where two amps are not identical, an external crossover is a ideal solution for bi-amping to wo... |
