| Having a problem when HVAC system turns on and cuts my system off! So your running a USB connection from your computer directly to your amp (which has a built in dac)? NOT GOOD! I advise you Isolate your computer from the amp/dac by using the optical output of the motherboard (hopefully it has one) then into a DI... | |
| Grounded phono interconnects Is the stock Pro-Ject cable a 5 pin Din to RCA ? | |
| Vintage Carver Bob Carver has a few different amp designs, which ones are you referring too? (magnetic field amps, Sunfire amps, tube amplifiers) | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics I think a old pair of Mirage M1's would do the trick! Bi-Polar Design that would fill that long wall with a huge sound stage with depth too! Or some new Bi or Omni Polars.Matt M | |
| Phono pre: Vincent PHO 7 upgrade? For $1500 now your approaching a Manley labs Chinook! $1700 used Upscale Audio talk to Kevin.https://www.upscaleaudio.com/https://www.manley.com/hifi/mchMatt M | |
| where best to spend $2-3000 upgrade dollars in my system I agree with Jadedavid, if its not broke dont FIX it! BUT this mixy patchwork of cables you have all sound different! If it were me, I would try and get some synergy going by changing cables to mainly one brand. You seem to like Kimber (neutral so... | |

| Magnepan 3.7i Amplifiers Aesthetix or Modwright? Thoughts? Up the game from a Mac 602? Differences yes, up the game... not so sure, at this level things are different not better going from 602 to a Modwright 150se??? moving backwards imo. I would look at the pre amp to tune your systems sound as well as c... | |
| Use a car woofer for home audio cabinet.. any downside? Hello Steve, Have you called REL in Berkley CA? I would because the replacement driver for that speaker is now upgraded (beefier) and only costs around $400 (guessing). Replace with the new updated REL driver and keep your Britainia Series sub wor... | |
| Soooooooo many possibilities...! Glad to hear you like the Steelhead (thats what I meant in my other post not stingray), I’m sure Kevin Deal at Upscale audio would make you a great price on one,he sold me my chinook, if you decide in the end to buy one. The Steelhead is a phenome... | |
| Soooooooo many possibilities...! I use a Manley labs front end (Jumbo Shrimp/Chinook) with my Mac MC352 and I love the combo. Very palpable with lots of rise and decay excellent high freq extension with incredible mid range and very good low taught bass extension. I imagine a Sti... | |
| Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide! Contuzzi you havent heard the Dynaudio Special Forty, the facts speak for them selves. Focal’s lower end speakers vs Dynaudio Special Forty OK. Not to mention resale value is way higher with the Dyns later if you want to sell them. | |
| Rega Planar 3 My REGA P3/24 is always dead quiet regardless of what cartridge I mount on it. One of the best sounding entry level tables I have owned. Dynavector 10X5 is a incredible synergistic match on the RB300 series tone arms. Matt M | |
| Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide! Why would you not want to purchase the finest tweeter (Esotar Forty) and a mid range driver with the largest voice coil on the planet, that is inside the Special Forty is puzzling? Do not be fooled by the price difference, there is a reason the Dy... | |
