| Better music player alternative to Mac Air / laptop Yes, as mentioned, I was using the Mac Air with external DAC but wonder if the circuitry inside the Mac / laptop is "dirty" as claimed and switching to cleaner streamer/player will render better SQ. So, are you saying that switching to streamer as... | |
| Better music player alternative to Mac Air / laptop Thank you all for the advices. Before proceeding with streaming route, I would like to explore the use of the streamer / file server for playing music out of the HDD / SSD. Based on my research, most of the streamer comes with the USB port for con... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage Thank you and several others for recommending BRX which, to be honest, was under my radar but was hesitated to pull the trigger due to the following reasons. It is a quite interesting design speaker. Similar to Evo 4.2, it uses AMT and hence rem... | |
| Which ones should I choose? Tannoy Kensington Gr or B&W 804 D4 If you have not viewed these reviews ... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage @scotman - Thank you for the recommendaton / offer. No decent recording I could find online for Momentum SX3i. Pursuit Perfect System (see below) reviews its little brother Motiv XS3 and find not really favorable when compared it with several p... | |
| Background noise. Wow, two 600 watts mono for $900. $1.5 per watt, much more value for money than the basic model A2 ($3.1 per watt). Double the wattage of the current HC-1 mono model ($5.9 per watt) from factory. Good buy, Mike. If I run into that deal at that... | |
| Background noise. Hi, Mike The 1st image is from the most economical amp BasX A2m. (50 wpc into 8 ohm for $350; class A/B). The 2nd image is from BasX A2 (160 wpc into 8 ohm for $500; again class AB) which I was interested but turned away because of the internal f... | |
| Background noise. I guess the best solution to avoid the fan noise from the amp is don’t buy them. Keeping the working temperature under control for an amplifier and prevent it from overheating is part of design process. A well designed amplifier should not rely on... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage Thank you, @lucky_doggg7 @reubent, for bringing Focal (JMLab) Mini / Micro Utopia to my attention. I do not mind going up scale to standmount speaker like Mini Utopia at all as long as they fit the bill. The transmission line design of Falcon IM... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage Wish I were there. I kind of felt the same way for S400 too but was not sure to give it a try. I think I could probably rule it out now. Was interested in ATC but there is no dealer here in the south Florida. I guess one at a time now. Dennis... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage Again, thank you everyone taking your time to provide me valuable inputs. Really appreicated. The BMR Monitors seem to be one of the faves but the coveat of glare around 2 kHz and the compression / wide radiation traits mentioned by Erin bothers m... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage Thank you guys for the recommendations. Among these, I am thrilled by the performance and looks of Philharmonic BMR Monitor (v2) curved rosewood cabinet. The only online auditioning source I could locate sounds promising. Will look into it. Th... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage DeKay, yes, I remember you had made such a comment. If you look at my posting one more time, Evo sitting on the current wide end table has already throws good SS. I just desire more bass and dynamics. Nevertheless, It is no harm to try and I am... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage @tomcarr @onhwy61 I understand the speaker set up, placement and room treatment are important. I have been experimenting those in the past and was able to achieve / preserve resonably good SS with my current speakers when the recordings have ... | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? The fellow reports M-Scaler works well with Mytek Brooklyn Dac (but not Denafrips Ares ii) in several areas: (1) vast increase in SS depth / width and image focus (2) increase in low end quality w/ deeper bass and better texture and (3) more natur... |
