| moving magnet cartridge suggestions for rp8? I would look at the Clearaudio - Maestro V2 Ebony MM Cartridge or the Virtuoso V2. Both awesome MM's. | |
| Prima Luna Premium Pre "This amp blows my McIntosh MA2275 out of the water." It maybe one of the best values in hifi today...But don't compare this to a McIntosh 2275! If you think the Primaluna sounds better than the McIntosh, you need new ears or cables or speakers or... | |
| Best isolation cones Truth be told , I have taken giant hard rubber bouncy balls from the toy store and cut them in half...place a little bean bag weight (from dive store) on top of the unit and WALLA! it works well. That's if you really don't want to spend money on t... | |
| DAC That Streams Hi-Res Tidal Ummmm, I Dont think so...From my understanding, 16 Bit 44Khz resolution is lower than standard CD Quality, of services such as PANDORA, SPOTIFY, that allow 24 bit 96khz resolution. Now, Tidal is a HI REZ AUDIO service that offers 33 Bit 1500khz re... | |
| Where to rack a McIntosh 275 amp The bottom is ideal and 3-4 inches is plenty for it to stay cool. No worries. | |
| Audioquest Comet vs.Nordost Frey2 I agree! The Nordost is all about Speed , pace, timing! Great cables for systems or speakers that are neutral sounding. Really brings out the liveliness of the musical event. Its like going from having Beautiful music playing....to now having real... | |
| Help set up OPPO 105 The Oppo 105 has 1 of THE best DAC's in it already. It Uses the ESS Saber dac chipset. I don't think the Hegel will out perform it. And if your going to be listening to Hi rez FLAC files your way better off with the OPPO by it self, because of the... | |
| SONOS CONNECT I took this thing back ! It is a neat device, but I'm over it. Ugly white box too! I am going to purchase a much better unit when I really want to add Hi rez digital. Until then I'm happy spinning vinyl. | |
| McIntosh MX120 hook up. Ok which input are you using the BALANCED input? Or are you using RCA to connect your CD player? The balanced input is marked as CD in display and there is a CD button on the remote, and if your using the RCA for cd connection you need to use the ... | |
| Help me improve Rega P2 WOW! leave it up to you guys to make things COMPLICATED! This post has gotten way out of control, IMO. Upgrade the REGA P2 bearing and sub platter, and put a Ortofon 2M blue. Now your in vinyl bliss...REGA is all about being SIMPLE to use! | |
| dumb question, streaming music to a preamp? Yes my MSB Nelson DAC uses a Burr-brown chipset. Unlike the Sonos which uses a cirrus logic chipset. The MSB DAC sounds more warm and analogue, easy to listen too at higher volumes and is much more detailed. The Sonos is not bad sounding it might ... | |
| Totem Model 1 The Dynaudio driver that is in the Totem sig 1's does NOT use foam it is a one piece molded polymer cone with a rubber surround. Also, it uses a wonderful 3" (that's huge) voice coil, this is what sets it apart from the MA. Spend the extra $200 it... | |
| Totem Model 1 Totem Model 1 sigs are awesome...I 2nd! They need a good sounding 100w per channel amp to make them really sing. Also, stands will be important, to make the most of this speaker. | |
| Cheap phono cable I like the Nordost, but you don't have to spend that kind of money...Morrow Audio makes a wonderful sounding cable for around $150 or less maybe, (they sell used to) I am sure you would love them once they are broken in. I use a mix of Morrow IC's... | |
| dumb question, streaming music to a preamp? You could attach a USB DAC like a AQ Dragonfly (that only provides a 1/8 inch output and no wireless). You touched on it yourself already. The SONOS is the way to go, it can be controlled by all devices including PC. I use Spotify with my Sonos an... |
