| Most Important, Unloved Cable... I know I am right. @dynaquest4, this quote (from you) alone should tell the world how close-minded you guys are, and hence should be avoided like a plague.You are a stubborn old guy who thinks teens are always wrong. Really? | |
| Preamp for Halo A21 and/or B&K ST2140 Ok, then can you try to get similar quality XLR and RCA? I tested with similar quality XLR and RCAs, and for me there was quite a difference. Mind you, my preamp is unconventional, so that could have made a difference. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... I don't understand the need for the seasoned folks on this forum to reply to azbrd and dynaquest4. Why do you give a rat's ass to what they think? I heard a huge difference when I moved from my $300 Signal Cable loudspeaker cables to $500 Clear Da... | |
| AXPONA 2017 Protocol @ astewart8944,I was at the show for 1 day in 2015 and it was just enough if you want to audition loudspeakers. This time I plan on attending Saturday and Sunday.I carried my USB key with music I am familiar with and the dealers did allow me to pl... | |
| Preamp for Halo A21 and/or B&K ST2140 Yes treebread1, the A21 is not a true balanced amp. But I believe the XLR inputs are more optimized than the RCA, at least in my setup. Can you try to connect the 851N and A21 with RCA and see if makes any difference? | |
| Preamp for Halo A21 and/or B&K ST2140 I am not suggesting a preamp.But wanted to let you know that you need to choose one which has a XLR out to the A21. The Parasound A21 sounds in a completely different league when connected via XLR to the preamp. This has been my experience in my s... | |
| Need feedback on loudspeakers So, I went on a road trip to listen to couple of loudspeakers. At the first dealer, it was PSB Imagine T3 Vs B&W 804D3 Vs Pioneer S-1EX. The front end was a Pioneer DVD player whose optical out was to a McIntosh integrated with a built-in DAC.... | |
| New Lux SACD unit rpeluso,I used to own the Marantz SA8260 for a number of years and am familiar with the Marantz house sound. Can you please compare and contrast the Marantz 8001 Vs the 2 Luxmans? What about the differences between the 2 Luxmans? The D-06 seems to... | |
| Tekton Electron has been released Read the review about the Tekton Double Impact. Like many of you said, the looks are not that good. But the reviewer preferred it over the Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mk2 and YG Caramel. Looks like the Tekton beat those 2 speakers by a significant marg... | |
| New Lux SACD unit @mahler123,Thanks for sharing your experience. It looks like the new Oppo 205 would be my upgrade path for now, and eventually the Bryston, since it accepts HDMI.@rpeluso,Did not mean to derail your thread. I checked OnAHigherNote site and this pl... | |
| New Lux SACD unit mahler123,What was your previous SACD player? Can you please describe how the Bryston BDA-3 has improved over your previous source? I am interested in the BDA-3 as well. | |
| I'm considering replacing my passive preamp with a tubes. Is it worth it? amritash, Congratulations on your new acquisition. Enjoy it.Out of curiosity - what was your passive preamp?Alternatively you could have purchased a Bluetooth DAC which has a healthy 2V out and kept your passive, if you like it's sound. You still... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @ghosthouse , I thought this was folk music. But anyway, I liked the music. Wiki page indicates that it is Lucinda Williams on this album. Will check out other albums by Allen and see if I like them. | |
