| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui Great to hear stories about great finds on Bourbon, found in the wild at prices ate at or close to the regular MSRP. $ 65 a bottle is crazy, congratulations on being able to enjoy such a great bottle or bottles while listening to your system. | |
| The Great DAC Mystery Interesting, way beyond my comprehension except for the understanding DAC’s aren’t able to convert, output signals that measure perfectly. I’ve had traditional DAC’s, R2R, FPAG, DAC’s with a Tube stage. Currently have a PS Audio that is a ... | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 @seb_audio anyway you can borrow or trial an amp known to handle hard to drive loads? Watts are only part of the equation. Highly likely your speakers need an amp more capable of driving them. Amps that have a large power reserve, that are stab... | |
| Integrated amp for 2500-3000 If your speakers need some grunt delivered by the amp Coda, Hegel, Krell, Music Fidelity, Parasound all should provide that extra heft / control. An all tube Integrated could do the trick but a unit that can might be out of your budget. Hybrid o... | |
| Pass labs krell parasound amps @jl35 I haven’t had the opportunity of trying out Pass amps in my set up. Their reputation though is stellar. Nelson is a legendary designer that uses high quality parts with top notch engineering. If you like their sound signature, hard to go ... | |
| Separates vs Integrated @yyzsantabarbara thaka for the info, reply, the Holo Serene is interesting. I agree on the Krell Amp, I’ve been lucky enough to be able to try various amps and it’s been my favorite. Noise and synergy are what have me asking the question. I hav... | |
| Bridged NADs vs. Rotel Ra - 1062 @mistermonitors if you can get the NAD in the 100-150 range, no brainer. You won’t find anything remotely close to the performance at anywhere near the price. Assuming the unit is in good working order. Bridging to Mono is different than having... | |
| 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... |
