| Anyone Upgrade NAD D 3020 Power Cable? I can't speak to the sonic value of adding a PC to the 3020D. That said, there is a new 1.5 M Pangea AC 14 for sale on Ebay for $40. | |
| Integrated or Receiver? There is a Cambridge Audio 540A for sale by TMRaudio here on AG, a trustworthy seller. asking price is $209 + $37 shipping. Offers are considered.You would need a phonostage, however an outboard one could be purchased when you get a TT. Schiit Aud... | |
| Integrated or Receiver? What do you see as your system in a couple years? You might check out the used integrateds and receivers offered here on AG. Buy something used for now, sell it later as your system evolves. | |
| Headphones to Improve Upon AKG-Q701s Stringreen, I have not considered the HD 820, however have looked into the HD 800. I do agree that the wide disparity between headphone input/amplifier output impedance and headphone sensitivity/amplifier gain in addition to ones own subjective bi... | |
| What was the first system you heard that made you think the high end made sense 1969, Dynaco ST-70, Dynaco PAS3, AR Xa TT, AR3a speakers. | |
| Balance adjustment? I take it that you balanced the sound towards the speaker by the opening and away from the speaker close to the wall. Therefore the reduction is bass. Probably will have to reposition volume on sub, and possibly the sub itself. | |
| Anyone Upgrade NAD D 3020 Power Cable? You might check out Pangea's 14 series PCs. The 3020D is light and aftermarket PCs can get heavy. | |
| Best used DAC for $250? I believe both the analog board and the USB inout board can be upgraded in the Bifrost. Can't say how the two DACs compare, I did purchase a used Bifrost with the Uber analog board and find it quite satisfactory. I use a M2TechHyface USB/SPDIF con... | |
| Volume Settings/Control - DAC vs Preamp? If not bypassing the preamp, I would operate the Node 2 at full volume, unless the gain is such that you can't use the preamps volume beyond 9-10 0'clock. If that is so, back the volume off a little such that you are using the preamps volume aroun... | |
| Need advice! Do I upgrade DAC or buy a new player? I would look for a DAC and use the player as a transport. As you don't need USB input, you could purchase a high quality older DAC for a fraction of the original price. | |
| gain switch and volume control position Martomaras, thanks for your reply. I have created a thread asking for sonic comparison between the LCD-2 and LCD-2C as I am interested in the 2C version. I like George's position, the least attenuation is best. Having gain that is thereafter atten... | |
| Be Careful! I have had this problem also, never caused harm to equipment however. Had a integrated amplifier that would go into protection mode. Even happened when using the remote (metal one).As many have aforementioned, a discharge prior to touching equipme... | |
| Audeze LCM-2C vs. LCM-2 headphones Yea, upgrading a headphone system is far less costly that a speaker based one. There are other HP forums out there. I posted my question here as there are many contributors who's opinion I respect. I have been watching the Audeze LCD-2C thread on ... | |
| gain switch and volume control position Hi Mark, I am interested in the LCD-2 or LCD-2C. How do you like the Audeze/Schiit combo?Regarding your question, I lack the knowledge to answer. As tketchem stated, it seems that either way is OK, however, it seems to me, the best option would de... | |
| Component Placement If possible I would place source and pre on stand to one side of listening position, and, as noromance stated, the mono amps by the speakers. No soundstage interference around your speakers. |
