| Does hi-res downloads get any better than this? Thanks. Would like to listen to the whole album prior to purchase. | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! I have a friend who owns the Heresy's. I agree with your assessment. Their impedance curve is benign however. That is why many(myself included) prefer them driven with tubes. I also have heard other Klipsch speakers and found that their sensitivi... | |
| Speaker system Well, maybe a simple answer to a couple questions would help. Are you looking to fill the whole room with high level volume (as for parties) or wanting to place a system within a listening area (for a more personal presentation for yourself and ... | |
| Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording? The presentation of solid imaging within a wide and deep soundstage has to be available in the recording. Then it is about the room, room treatments, and best placement of the speakers within. Then it is about the speakers inherent ability to pr... | |
| Primaluna or Octave to drive Dynaudio X34s One thing you have going for you regarding the 86dB sensitivity rating is that your room is 10'x12'. (I am assuming feet) Would your dealer let you try the Octave v70/black box in your home? Possible to take your speakers to the dealer? | |
| Looking for “just good enuf” for garage man cave I would stick with 2 channel audio system. Receiver or integrated amplifier with outboard AM/FM tuner. Many newer 2 channel ones have digital inputs in addition to analog ones. If one you find lacks USB input purchase a USB/SPDIF converter for coa... | |
| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? +2 on the advise of jji666. | |
| Marantz receiver questions The PM7001 has binding posts that accept standard banana plugs. Go online and search for Nakamichi banana plugs. They attach by inserting speaker wire into a sleeve and tightened with a pair of small screws. A set of 8 are likely ~$10. | |
| euro speakers for Luxman SQ-N150 I believe the Dynaudio speakers require more power than your amp has to make them come 'alive'. I believe you found that out with your Evokes. I do like the Dynaudio speakers I have listened to. I would look for 8ohm speakers at >93dB sensitivi... | |
| Denver and Front Range furniture maker -- just did my audio rack! I am sure your system will look great on that rack. Maybe get your woodworker to cut you some of the 2" maple as platforms for the mono amps, attach threaded sockets underneath for leveling spikes or feet. | |
| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 Well, the Pegasus does look interesting at it's price point ($1100 according to review). If coupled to the iFi Zen streamer would meed your budget. I have not heard either so can't make a recommendation, however maybe one could get home trial. I k... | |
| Denver and Front Range furniture maker -- just did my audio rack! Great looking rack! | |
| Which complete set of cables to try out? @habermas I for one am looking forward to your take on the Zavfino loom. | |
| If you’ve heard an iFi Zen stream, anything better under $1k? I was in position to purchase the Zen Stream after considering the New Node. I have a good DAC. Based on this thread I believe I will also monitor the progress with the Zen. Thanks to the OP and all. | |
| Will a new Dac improve the sound? Another suggestion for the purchase of a MHDT DAC. Excellent products that fit into your budget. Start with the use of your CD player as a transport. Then consider transport upgrade. Opportunity to experience benefits of each upgrade and consider... |
