| Considering these USB cables. Not that i know, however the DAC within your speakers may be using the 5v power supplied with signal via USB. | |
| Turntable / cartridge (and isolation) to match my pre-amp, speakers and room If your local shop carries both, have your listened to them with some of your favorite LPs. Maby take your TT and compare. | |
| A sensible CD transport? Old thread, however Cambridge Audio make a budget ($500) transport that I understand is somewhat discounted. If looking for a transport I would consider one. | |
| Worth fixing? Are the repairs being done by Jolida? If so, and you are happy with the player, I would think the repair would pay off. You may want to ask them about upgrades as well. | |
| Turn table for my kid??? Yes, thanks for the follow-up. | |
| Please Critique my Setup and Recommend Upgrade(s) You need to think of the speaker/amp as a combination. Given your size room there are many speakers that can be driven to very loud levels with 50wpc, however not all. Also must consider the sonic synergy between both components. I would take the ... | |
| Helps me with long term system development. Sounds like your dealer has several quality speaker brands to demo. I would certainly start there. Then consider upgrading the amp if you feel you need and find one that better fits your new speakers. There are several cartridges in the $300-$500 ... | |
| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? Yes the soundstage on the NADs is one attribute I like about these amps. The harshness may more be due to the CD player not being warmed up. | |
| This is pretty funny and probably true for most of us Than is funny! As i am not looking to make major changes in my system I am just hoping to outlive most of it's value. | |
| CDP recommendation for Creek Classic 5350se If still looking for a CD spinner, why not get the Cambridge tansport to play into your DAC? Cost is less than $500. | |
| Recommend a budget floor standing speaker less than $1,000 34dean, as one who has contributed throughout your other thread, I must agree with akg-ca. The only thing I can add is that in your price range I believe I could find a more satisfying bookshelf speaker than a floorstanding pair. Quality stands ne... | |
| Speaker to mount in a bookcase - up to $2000 (somewhat long) I am not one to recommend a specific speaker as that choice is most subjective and dependent on environment and system. In your case the environment becomes a much more defining factor regrading speaker performance than for many situations. One t... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! I agree that the NAD 3020 can drive many reasonable sensitive (87-90dB) speakers. Many especially those above the $500 price point, will not preform at their best until driven by an amp that provides more clean power than this amp. 34dean, you mi... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! I agree that the 3020 will drive many reasonably sensitive speakers (87-90dB). However many of them, especially those that are priced higher than the $500 class, best return the investment when driven by more clean power than provided by this amp... | |
| Random question/ thoughts about stuff for sale here Since my retirement I have renewed my interest in audio. I have bought and sold many audio components on AG, and bought on Ebay. This activity fostered development of 4 systems: speakers, DAC, cables for my primary system in a dedicated room; all... |
