| Bridged NADs vs. Rotel Ra - 1062 @assetmgrsc you’re right, when I researched the units this morning, some used options came up but I didn’t look closely at them. Some were old adds and others were for units that weren’t fully functional. I was more focused on learning about the... | |
| Bridged NADs vs. Rotel Ra - 1062 @mistermonitors the NAD and Rotel units are both value integrated units from around 15-20 years ago. Nothing wrong with that, both brands have a solid reputation. Rotel for value, their claim to fame is they are solidly built, punch above their ... | |
| Alta Alec vs Legacy Signature SE vs Elac Vela 408.2 Keep us posted, if you go with the Alex’s would be curious as to what your thoughts are. Thanks, | |
| Alta Alec vs Legacy Signature SE vs Elac Vela 408.2 @gickcf I’ve got the Alta Audio Alec’s. Have had them for about 3 years now. Prior I had Focal 1028BE floor standers which had a Beryllium Tweeter. I wanted to love the Focal, at the time Focal had changed up their line up, they discontinued t... | |
| Integrated Amps If you are thinking of upgrading your speakers the advice of upgrading those first, prior to the integrated is really good advice. Synergy as noted in several responses is so important between gear, especially speakers and amp. It’s temptin... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? I’ve got REL and SVS subs. REL integrate extremely well into 2 Channel, are easy to blend. SVS are way better for Home Theater and as others have mentioned, bang for the buck is off the charts. They are also surprisingly good with 2 channel, as ... | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room Based on what you described you are looking for sonically, the Alta Audio Alyssa’s check all the boxes, they’ll fill the room with sound and likely not need a sub. Lots of great options provided in the thread covering speakers in a wide budget ra... | |
| Is Apple Music lossless/uncompressed? It’s lossless but it’s not on par with Qobuz or Tidal and as highlighted by others it’s challenging and takes some ingenuity to get the source to your HiFi gear in a lossless format. It’s only lossless with the source, your phone or I-Phone conne... | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? You have gotten some good advice, I’d take pieces of the different approaches. I would switch to Qobuz or Tidal, easy, inexpensive change. After that, I’d research DAC’s that fit your soundl signature along with trying some DYI, tests on treatin... | |
| Need new pre amp My set up has gear designed to be used fully balanced, my pre, DAC and Amp are all truly balanced and everything sounds better when I have everything hooked up using the balanced input / outputs. I agree that if home equipment isn’t designed to b... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC @teajay I landed on the PS Audio MKii by way of trading my pre and a DAC for a Lumin P1, I thought I could potentially achieve a jump up in my system by eliminating having a pre, streamer, DAC. The dealer I made the trade with was in Canada, al... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC @teajay I have always enjoyed your reviews. One of the DAC’s I previously had in my system was a MHDT Pagoda Balanced. I bought it based off your review. I really enjoyed that DAC. I now have a PS Audio Direct Stream MK2. I know the LTA and MK... | |
| Anyone at home at Krell? I own Krell Gear, live in CT and have dropped and picked up gear for repair / service. They have always been a bit slow to respond, I’ve found email was the best way to get an update or response. The last time I visited their offices / manufactu... | |
| Long time lurker looking for HT opinions @tigheandjudi does your HT space double as a 2 channel listening area or is it exclusively for HT duties? I’ve been into HT since I was a kid, I got into 2 channel about 7 years ago. I had always listened to the advice that you wanted all you... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @mikhailark I have a similar taste in speaker and sensitivity to what gets described as bright. Before I realized what I really liked I locked into Focal’s based on R&D / Build Quality. Took me a minute to realize they were voiced in a way... |
