| Suggestions for DAC auditions - upgrade from HRT III+? Thank you mesch and denmen. I'm on track to either buy something a few years old with a good discount or a really good but affordable current model in my price range. Still determining the best value based on my research...I'll check out the ECD... | |
| Suggestions for DAC auditions - upgrade from HRT III+? Thanks EJR & sfall - My biggest issue is that I don't want to buy the same music another time (regarding the MQA). I have a large CD/LP collection, but it might be the next big thing if they start phasing out CDs for current music.That's two ... | |
| Suggestions for DAC auditions - upgrade from HRT III+? Thanks Vincent - I'll take that under strong consideration! | |
| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound I have heard a good number of the speakers suggested, and many are excellent. However, I have found some of the most musically engaging moments while listening to several speakers in the Rega RS line. They all sound big with very nice bass, have... | |
| Pioneer PLX 1000 noise Found what I needed - look up "platter noise fix PLX-1000" on the Vinyl Engine website. A small disc comes unglued, and it needs to be sanded and reattached.Fairly easy and quick fix...Hope this helps you if you have a problem too. | |
| Unlikely New Gem...ELO Child of the 70s - love most of ELO, even with strings! I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the tip. | |
| help me choosing first HiFi I've been through way too much gear (electrostatics, horns, small box, big box, etc) since 1980. My current room is 8X14, and I have finally assembled a system that plays music. Speakers are Blumenstein Orca Deluxe with a DIY 45 SET tube amp, made... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps I'm at the same place your are. I currently have some Cain Abbys, but I'm considering Omega's Outlaw 7 high output stand mount. I did Lowthers in a modern cabinet, and they were very good, but I prefer a smaller driver to help with high frequency ... | |
| NOLA, Fritz, or used Totem Hawk - Want Drama Thanks for the input so far. Can't go wrong with a 30 day trial... If anyone new chimes in, what are your thoughts on Triangle Cometes - 30th anniversary? I really have liked Titus and Zerius 202 from the past... | |
| Mac iTunes to hi-end audio. Hi,I use the HRT music streamer II. It is a great low-cost option, and I don't feel like I'm missing out by having a cheaper DAC in the system.I also use Channel D Pure Music as an add-on to Itunes. It rides over the top of Itunes. It does sound b... | |
| Recommended Soldering Iron Hakko FX888 Very nice, comes with a great mesh tip cleaner. Wish I had bought one a while ago. | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum or Conrad Johnson MV60SE...? Here is my .02...I have had several Triangle speakers, and the best sound I had was with either a CJ MV55 or a Cairn 4808. I didn't like the CJ MV60 as much in direct comparison. I still use my 4808 and Zerius in my mostly game/move room, but the ... | |
| Budget speaker cable for my Usher S-520 I have tried a lot of homemade and fairly expensive speaker cables, but the most consistent cable I have used with many amps and speakers is Kimber 4TC. Find a used pair at your price, and you will have a great cable. | |
| Speakers that are RAP music proof In a large room, I really like Klipsch Fortes. They are really great speakers and a bargain in the used market.Should do a pretty good job with rap too.Good luck! | |
| Best USB DAC for 1000-1500? HRT Streamer is inexpensive and great. Asynch USB. I'm not using special cables, and it sounds great. I haven't compared with any of the more expensive brands, but I'm not compelled to either. |
