| Estate sale Fuselier speakers for $370 but I know nothing about them. By sources I meant vinyl or digital as music sources . I thought the Rotel 951 was a CD player. The Kenwood KR3130 is a receiver from early 70s. If interested in upgrading the electronics you might start another thread requesting options for a ... | |
| Estate sale Fuselier speakers for $370 but I know nothing about them. Glad to hear that the speakers worked out. What sources are you using? | |
| Golden Ears? +1 mikelavigne I believe the capability of a system to be extended and articulate in frequency impacts ton the lower registers. A trickle down that works. Hey, I am 74 and have learned to fool myself at times. | |
| A reasonably priced DAC upgrade from Schiit Gumby Another option I forgot to mention would consider is the Black Ice DAC, tube output stage. | |
| Is it worth it? DAC question I am likely missing something, but it seems the Node isn't recognizing the DAC. Call Bluesound, there must be a way to instruct the node to do that. | |
| A reasonably priced DAC upgrade from Schiit Gumby I would try the MHDT Orchid DAC. Tube buffer output,. Possibly find a used Audio Mirror Tubadour III. I believe either would provide a presentation shift that would please you. | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers That is a good deal for a pair of Carreras. | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range One option is to purchase an integrated amplifier with a processor loop (tape loop) and insert a Schiit Loki (~$160) in the loop for low volume listing. | |
| Getting Back In - But Doing it Sanely Look into the Hegel 95 ($2000) or the 120 ($3000). Both have internal DACs to simplify system. | |
| Mystere ia21 a good integrated ? Read the review supplied by Yogi. The main concern is the high output impedance supplied by this amplifier. One needs to know the impedance characteristics of the speaker one wishes to use it with. | |
| Yamaha M80 Amp Call some of the high end audio stores in Chicago. They can recommend someone to contact. | |
| Magnepan optional speaker stands I mounted LRS+s flush so they stand straight up. And yes the optional are superior to the stock ones. The added distance off the floor improves soundstage. | |
| Speaker Recommendations Check out Fritz Speakers. I own a pair of his Carbon 7s MK2 which I switch out with my Maggie LSR+ speakers. I use an Aric Audio 6SN7 preamp in rotation with a Pass XA25 (for Maggies) or Aric's Transcend PP tube amplifier (for the Fritz). I beli... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers I find that driving my Carbons with the Pass XA25 the sounds improves as the amp warms up. About one CD worth of warm up makes a difference. | |
| What do/did you do for a living? @jjss49 Yes. When I saw this I felt that I may have added to it. After a quick look it seems that it escaped me. So in correction.... I was a Researcher/Professor of Plant Breeding until I retired in 2006. Became a Audiogon member in 2011 as pa... |
