| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 Thanks both of you. My inclination at this point is the 802s. Overall I love the sound of the 805D3 and they’re not overly bright in my home theater which has room treatments. My main concern about them is whether I’d be underwhelmed by the bass. | |
| The big DAC decision @slvrsrfr that might be the most confusing logic I've seen on these forums. You thought the Chord Dave was going to be too good, so you bought the more expensive Lumin X1? I'm sure both are amazing (I'm just using the humble Mytek Brooklyn DAC+), ... | |
| Mytek Dac going Ac to DC power. The Astron RS12A sounds really interesting. I've been looking for an external power supply for the Brooklyn DAC+. I'm a bit naive here, but can someone explain how I would attach the Astron to the Brooklyn? Specifically, how do I go from the Astro... | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system I did get a hold of someone at the Cable Company and they are going to put together some options for me. I'll make that my first pass and see how it goes. Additionally, I'll be keeping an eye on Audiogon for some deals that might come up. I'm part... | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system @dimora as a tech guy I’d normally agree about USB, but I’ve seen some reasonable arguments about transmission of unwanted signal across the wire with the 1s and 0s. This is why it’s so tough to separate snake oil out. It’s easy to find people who... | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system I'd be open to calling the Cable Company, but I'm pretty skeptical of a business that can't answer their own email or even worse in this case, their own internet question form. My salesman at Magnolia is super responsive on email and text messages... | |
| Mark Levinson pre-amplifiers compared @seventies for what it's worth, I'm planning on buying 802 D3s to replace my 805 D3s as my main 2 channel in the next year. They show up here on Audiogon fairly regularly for at least 30% off MSRP, which seems like a pretty good deal. At their $22... | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system @bigjohn9095 thanks! Will check them out as for my selection in speakers. I already have he 805D3 and love them. I have listened to many many speakers on my way to deciding on 802D3 next but will keep listening. For my ear, as a professional orche... | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system Great advice from everyone so far, but would love to hear more about cables. Yes, I get that I should contact the Cable Store, but they are incentivized to sell me expensive cables. I'd love to hear options here from others, and also even specific... | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system I’m a millennial. What’s it mean to “call” something? 😝 | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system @jafant thanks!I also sent this same question to The Cable Company to get their feedback. I just have a hard time justifying spending more on cables than the Preamp (new is $1900). | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system Thanks, Ghosthouse!One thing I've been trying to figure out is who makes a USB-C cable for Hifi? If I get any of them on Audiogon that I see, they all use USB-A from the computer, but that would force me to use the standard Apple USB-C to USB-A ad... | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system I was hoping to buy on Audiogon if possible. Sadly, in the SF Bay Area, Magnolia drove pretty much everyone out of business. I can hear a few Audioquest cables at one dealer, but not through the B&Ws (only sold at magnolia) and Magnolia's cabl... | |
| Mark Levinson pre-amplifiers compared hmm, @seventies, I'm not sure where you are getting your info, but B&W is owned by a California company as of 2016 (they operate as a software startup in the SF Bay Area as well), and were previously owned by a UK-based holding company. Also, ... | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with Working in software I find it curious that they didn’t just roll back until they worked out the bugs (aka the terrible design, broken search, and sorting). I know it’s a small company but I imagine the lost revenue over a holiday has to hurt way m... |
