| Whats on your turntable tonight? @boxer12 I’ve got Somethin’ Else queued up next. All 3 were brand new. It was a good shipment from Discogs. | |

| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 I listened to the Focal Stella Utopia EM Evo powered by Moon 888 monoblocks and all SimAudio gear. Sounded fantastic, as you’d expect for a $250,000 setup. Different rooms and associates gear, but I wasn’t convinced it sounded *that* much better t... | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 I can’t really speak to the 802D2, but I love the 802D3. Really well rounded with McIntosh power and Mytek Manhattan DAC. The KEF Ref 5 were nice but something sounded just a bit unnatural to me about them. The B&W was just remarkable in its a... | |
| DAC/Streamers Under 10k - Mytek, PS Audio... I’ve had the Manhattan for a while now and the network card has worked flawlessly. That said, I’m pretty annoyed they advertised AirPlay support and then seemed to not deliver it. It’s a small company, but it’s a pretty egregious example of false ... | |
| Why are my SF Venere S Speakers not sounding as warm? I have almost the exact same dimensions as the OP including the same vaulted ceiling from 9 to 15’. Bass from the 802D3 is good, but I do use a little boosting on the preamp. That said, I would agree with above that the first place to look is ampl... | |
| Anyone using a Mytek Brooklyn or Manhattan (I or II) DAC as a preamplifier? There is analog vs digital volume. I found this confusing as well and emailed them before randomly poking around and figuring it out. | |
| Does this image give you claustrophobia? What I don’t get is why the forum moderators allow @georgehifi to lob insults at people. It’s one thing to voice an opinion about this and another to generally insult a group of people on the forums. | |
| Bookshelf + sub vs. floorstanding For home theater I much prefer having the sub no matter which way you go. Floor standers just won’t cut it for that epic movie bass. | |
| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? I’ve been using the Rega for a few days now and it sounds spectacular. I’m not sure what improvements I’d get with more expensive TTs, but I’m happy. I have a pretty amazing setup for digital, and most of the records I’ve played sound better than ... | |
| McIntosh Tone Controls It would allow me to target low midbass which is a bit of a null in my room. | |
| McIntosh Tone Controls Thanks all, that makes me feel better about it! I could not find anything in the C47 manual that talks about the signal path for tone controls.@scorpio1951 The reason for the C52 would be to get the 8-way EQ, assuming it’s also analog. The integra... | |
| McIntosh Tone Controls Does anyone know if the McIntosh tone controls are analog or digital? | |
| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? thanks @mulveling it's the Quintet Black. I auditioned with the Quintet Bronze but figured why not spend an extra $150 for the Black. I'm not sure I really understand the sound difference between the different lines, but the owner of the shop seem... | |
| Room Correction, Acoustic Treatment, Positioning, etc. What are my options Pretty much none of the tools work with vaulted ceilings. Also, not all rooms are a simple box. My room has a 10’ wide opening to another 10’x10’x9’ room. |
