| A little deeper on amp power please.... Speakers are a much more complicated load than the fixed value resistor used on a test bench to determine the power spec rating for an amp. First, speakers typically have a resistance curve that varies widely with frequency. An 8 ohm speaker may ... | |
| 600 watt speakers Just an observation -- I've been online since the Compuserve forums back in the 1980s which predated the "internet" and even AOL. Wisecracks and humor are just a routine part of discussion forums. Its not something one should take as a personal s... | |
| If Conrad Johnson still made a DAC it would sound like?? If its Theta Digital you like, why not consider a Schiit DAC? Mike Moffat designed the original Theta DAC and was one of the founders of Schiit and still designs all of their DAC units. | |
| 600 watt speakers If it is nothing but wattage, an 1,800 watt clothing iron should be one of the best sounding things around.... | |
| Wiim pro questions. I have a Wiim Pro and it was one of the easiest to setup streaming devices I've seen. I bought it for my wife as she finds my LMS streaming setup a bit too complicated. We primarily use the Wiim Pro for Qobuz. A couple of notes -- setup involves... | |
| Why do people like reel to reel players? Decades ago, I was lucky to have the opportunity to get a few first generation open reel copies of some recording studio tapes. They blow away the LP versions , especially so in the bass quality. That said, copying LPs to open reel doesn't improv... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? I recently heard a rumor that the secret used audio equipment cabal is expanding their reach into philately... | |
| USB Noise***Unlikeliest Fix*** Actually, there is no way to stream digital music -- either local or from an internet service like Tidal or Qobuz - without a "computer." The trick is to have the PC be a standalone unit that is dedicated to that one task. That's what the fancy Lu... | |
| Better DAC then DA1 module in McIntosh C49 without braking the bank. You might want to consider a Schiit Yggdrasil multibit DAC which, new, is right in your price range. | |
| Stand mount speakers to replace Magnepan 1.6’s @sml19 -- its a medium sized living room, about 15' wide by about 24' long with vaulted ceilings and partially open on one side to a dining area. I brought the 1000s over from a smaller room in a prior house. Ohm recommended the 3000s for me at th... | |
| Recommendation Tube Integrated If you want a good amp at a great price, check out the VT-70 (35 w/ch from EL-34 outputs) for $1,300 and their VT-150 (60 w/ch from KT-88s) for $3,000. I had a VT-70 and it was an excellent amp. They are only available online from Underwood HiFi. ... | |
| Better desktop DAC Since you like it so much, why don't you just watch the used market until another Teac NT-505 shows up? | |
| Stand mount speakers to replace Magnepan 1.6’s I used to have a pair of Maggie 1.6QRs and had to sell them after a move to a new house with no suitable room. After a couple of experiments, I've settled on a pair of Ohm 1000s. They give great sound without having to be far out into the room, s... | |
| Pending shipping questions. Pilot Freight is now owned by Maersk. Have you tried contacting them? See https://delivers.maersk.com/contact/. Also, what does the seller have to say about this? | |
| Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer? As has already been commented on, your complaint seems to be about the software control interface, not sound quality. I'd second the suggestion that you try the WiiM Pro first since it has a great software control interface that you can run on you... |
