| Use of Denafrips Iris 12th DDC with computer @soix My thoughts as well regarding future streamer purchase. Much would depend on the clock and output availability for that unit. | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. Again, I very much appreciate the feedback I have been given. I am in process of researching the speakers suggested. I find myself thinking that I initiated this post somewhat in haste and maybe should has given it more thought. I Currently have... | |
| Use of Denafrips Iris 12th DDC with computer Thanks to all who have responded. Just to let everyone know, I did purchase the Iris DDC a couple weeks ago. It has made an improvement in the sonics I am getting from my living room system. Well worth the price paid (~$500) within the context of ... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. Thanks to all who have responded so far. My thinking is that Sensitivity + Impedance + Phase angle = Efficiency. My understanding of these factors are not complete. The way I view this, sensitivity has much to do about how loud a speaker will ... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. Well, I agree that 91dB is not that sensitive, however coupled with a flat 80hm speaker with a rather narrow phase angle makes for a pretty efficient speaker to my thinking. What I failed to do was describe my listening environment. Basically ... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. As a follow up, I should have stated approximately $5000. | |
| Good preamp for under $300 There have been many good suggestions given herein. I purchased the B&K Pro 10 in 1985. Kept it for 25 years and sold it on AG for $225 I believe. A great budget preamp. | |

| JAYS Audio transport upgrade? I purchased the CDT2MK3 from Todd based on cost. Also purchased a backup CDM4 drive. I have not heard the CDT3 so can't comment on the return on investment for the 2x cost. As others have stated above, I also found Todd to be great to deal with. | |
| Line Magnetic 218a vs Leben CS600 -- am I insane? (aka when good beats great) Well it seems to me that the LM amp is a better pairing with your speakers for the presentation you prefer. | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated Not heard any of the new NAD products. | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated Yes, NAD appears somewhat 'plain Jane'. However i ave always found the sonics to be to my liking given the price point. I like the fact that the preamp and amp sections can be separated. They also have a second pre output for powered subwoofer. ... | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated Since you remain interested in NAD I would look for a used C326BEE or C356BEE integrated amplifier. I have owned both and find them excellent for the $. | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @gano the confusion was probably mine. Maybe it was an issue abut amp having preamp outputs? |
