| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @kosst_amojan,I used Signal Cable's Silver Resolution as well as Clear Day cables for the BT unit, not the ones that came with the unit.@georgehifi ,I have nothing against passives. In fact I have been using TVC for the past 9 years. You bring up ... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? There are a few sources that require active preamp, without while your system sounds lifeless. I had Logitech Bluetooth receiver which was one such example. Similarly connecting the headphones out from a mp3 player to a passive also sounds lifeles... | |
| what speakers to buy @dragonbutx,Good for you. It is you system, your money and most of all, your ears. If you are happy, that's what matters the most.Better options? Heck, yeah. But be ready to spend $$$$. Have fun and enjoy your music. | |
| Speaker recomendation @Igoler,You should audition a pair of ProAc D48R. Very musical. | |
| Robert & Alison-Raising Sand The recording quality on this CD is so screwed up. The music is pretty good though and I like it. Hope they remaster it correct at some point - in hi-rez PCM or DSD. | |
| Oppo Ceasing production @elizabeth , it will be great to hear a comparison between the Marantz and the Oppo, once you get it.Of course the Marantz will slam the Oppo, but by how much? That would be interesting. Hope you can post this. Thanks in advance!! | |
| Songs You Couldn't Stand Until You Heard Them On A Good System It is not only about quality, it is also about musicality, tonality and how "natural" the music sounds, that affects if you like the music or not. 24 years back when I got a Bose AM5 Series II (ahem!) system with Yamaha+Kenwood+Technics, I tried s... | |
| Stan ( “stanwal” ) my he forever RIP So sorry to hear that. I followed many of his threads and his system. May his soul RIP. He will be missed. | |
| Tea For the Tillerman by Cat Stevens-which sounds best? I have the SACD and it sounds phenomenal. | |
| Proac Response D30 DS @itzhak1969,I am glad you made this decision. I searched the net and found on some forums that people preferred the Studio 148. I am not saying that your experience was invalid. But maybe the room or electronics they were connected to, when you li... | |
| Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price... That is awesome. I hope everyone waiting for the June batch gets their Oppo. And I really hope no one falls for the $$$$ ads that are selling the 205. They are really crooks.This is a awesome player. SACD and DSD files sound really good on this pl... | |
| Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it? @jl35 You are correct. The original A21 had Elna caps, while the later ones do not. I believe that the internal pics of the A21 were initially on the company website, but not shown anymore. But the A21 is a fantastic amp for the money. | |
| Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it? +1 @bigdady76.The A21 Vs A23 was also discussed on some DIY forum. I had read that way back when I was researching on the A21. | |
| Proac Response D30 DS +1 @cmach You perfectly nailed the differences between the D30 and D48.@itzhak1969,I remember my demo at AXPONA 2017. I was in the medium sized room and they had just started playing Boz Scaggs "Thanks To You" through a Naim system. The low end wa... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS OP, I have auditioned the D30 and D48 extensively during my search for loudspeakers that started 2 years ago and ended a few months back. I ultimately went for the, D48R because my room could accommodate it without issues.The D30 is a very engagin... |
