| Advantages of owning equipment from major audio brands vs. boutique shops? I guess most of my system would fall into "boutique" category, except speakers (and some other stuff I used to own) which are by far the most expensive pieces and are from a major brand. Now, which brands gave me most in terms of service, support,... | |
| Amazon music HD ( Hi-res) Tried Amazon hi rez. It was a convoluted mess, interface is terrible, as was mentioned uses window mixer, no roon support. Decent music selection though. If Spotify goes hi rez route I'll drop Tidal and keep qobuz. All in all Amazon doesn't really... | |
| i'm looking for something that may not exist earths natural magnetic frequencies..... To transmit sound.... And u need a week to achieve this? C'mon man, I did it since I started reading this thread. Prototype is already sounding better than the best vinyl rig ever made. | |
| Beginner audiophile pre-amp/receiver recommendations Why not continue using your current receiver as a stand alone tuner then? It seems to have a multitude of preamp outputs so you should have no problems plugging it into whatever integrated you choose. | |
| Beginner audiophile pre-amp/receiver recommendations The Schiit Ragnarok I mentioned earlier has balanced (XLR) outputs. I wouldn't disregard this option as it's your best bet for the money imo. | |
| Beginner audiophile pre-amp/receiver recommendations The difference is built in radio tuner in every receiver. As far as differences go that's a pretty big one. RFI is a pretty big factor in deteriorating the sound quality so having radio tuner basically shoved inside your amp is not ideal. Having s... | |
| Beginner audiophile pre-amp/receiver recommendations +1 for Peachtree but Nova 150 is more along his budget. The 300 is now at 2000$ | |
| Beginner audiophile pre-amp/receiver recommendations I also have the jolida fusion, it’s a preamp only. There’s no a/b switching, only source select. You can't control two amps separately with it | |
| Beginner audiophile pre-amp/receiver recommendations Definitely try to stay away from any receivers, everything about them is a compromise, sq being the first thing. As far as decent integrated amp, I really think you can’t get better than Schiit RAGNAROK, it has everything that you listed, a good d... | |
| Tool Fear Inoculum impressions So far I've gotten through about 3/4 of it on the way home from work but what i HAVE heard made me either spontaneously drive off the road caught in the daze or partially loose the ability to control anything at all. In other words in made a huge... | |
| Klipsch Palladium P39F and Probably the Entire line Major issue! Ii realize this is an older post but today i discovered the cause of my p37f's distorting and it's detached surrounds on five of the six woofers. I find it strange that there have been no posts on this issue since September. It clearly IS an issu... | |
| Tidal WiFi not as good as cd I think that the general consensus is that tidal lags slightly behind in sq from locally stored files, streamer or not. Although miles better than hq from spotify it’s not really red book quality. I think it’s still worth it. The op should try roo... | |
| Tidal WiFi not as good as cd Same here. Tidal supposed CD quality is NOT on par with same music ripped to my hard drive in either wav of 16/44 flac. Btw I'm using Roon for both tidal and ripped files, all wired, all to the same dac, same path down stream, both coming from my ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Audioman mentioned that Jeff Rowland top amps use modified Pascal modules. The only other amps, at least that i know about that use Pascal modules (also modified) are D-sonic amps which I happen to own and can attest that these things are pretty r... | |
| All I need to know about D-Sonic amplifiers Not too long ago i acquired an M3a-1200S that replaced Emotiva xpa2-gen2. The Emotiva being what it is, not a terrible amp is severely out classed by d- sonic. I love this thing, it’s scarily powerful with seemingly infinite headroom, no discernab... |
