| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC I support your willingness to try the computer approach prior to spending hard earned cash. Congrats on your retirement. | |
| Passive subwoofer too loud. If it were me I would purchase the SChiit SYS or a Nobsound variable attenuator for ~$50 and place it between preamp and sub amp. Save thr receiver for a better purpose. | |
| Flat Screen Television behind speakers A nice quilt to cover the TV would help. Nice system | |
| Question about a set up The speaker cables mentioned by soix are a good buy. | |
| One dedicated circuit for each mono block? +1 separating digital from analog. | |
| CD Player - Dgital Out on Onkyo C-7030 I suspect ther problem lies with the transport section of the player. A reclocker may help. There are a couple of transports that sell for under 1K that may be the solution: Audiolab 6000, Cambridge CXC. Much on this forum regarding thes units. | |
| Question about a set up I would recommend Blue jeans cable. They have an interconnect called the LC-1 which is a very low capacitance cable which woukd be good between TT and AVR. A very good cable for the money. Which speakers did you buy? | |
| One dedicated circuit for each mono block? I would plug both monoblocks into one dedicated circuit directly into wall outlet. Iewould use conditioner on other circuit for other equipmen. I believe this is as you were saying. | |
| Question about a set up I just looked up the AT turntable suggested by soix. Seems like a great choice. The the lp120 may be discontinued. The LP30 appears to have better build and tonearm. The TT you choose will have much to do regarding the sonics you obtain from your... | |
| Question about a set up My suggestions: Check out the Audio technica ATLP120. A much better TT than the LP60. Far greater sound quality can be had with a 2-channel integrated amplifier. Yamaha makes a fine one at $350. The AS 301. Has DAC and pnonostage. I would loo... | |
| CD Player - Dgital Out on Onkyo C-7030 The coax output is digital (SPDIF) and doesn't pass through the internal digital to analog conversion (DAC) of the player. How do you play files off your computer. Does the computer have a DAC or do you have an external DAC? If so are you sayin... | |
| My first tube integrated: which one to get? Given your response to carlsbad, I would consider the change to speakers and a tube integrated. I would lookup Fritz Speakers. Give him a call and discuss your situation and sonic preferences. His speakers are easy to drive and are very tube amp... | |
| Monitors for 14 x 20 Room Fritz makes a smaller version of the Carbon 7. Another aspectof his speakers is that they are easy to drive vs. most stand mounts. Have you played your Paradigm speakers with another amp and source? Maybe sort out the cause of the distorti... | |
| Eeny, meeny, miny, moe... @hilde45 I likely missed your stating so elsewhere on this forum however want to know which 6SN7 pre do you own. Thanks. | |
| What exactly is a speaker box sound? I am with Roxy54 in that all speakers color the sound relative to what was produced within the recording chain from the source. |
