| Is integrated the future for 2 channel audiophiles? My previous system had a 3 box preamp, and biamped speakers with a stereo amp and a pair of class A mono amps plus an external crossover. When the time came to replace it (after 25 years), I replaced all of that with a network streamer (Aurender... | |
| Possible new integrated amp for my new Focal Kanta's I've heard the Kanta No. 2s with Naim gear, and they sound pretty good. I have a pair, and use a Levinson 585 integrated with them - sounds even better, at least to me. Quite happy with the combination. | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify This is a fascinating thread. Basically, it seems to boil down to a debate between convenience/usability (Spotify) and sound quality (Tidal). Given that this is an audiophile forum, I expected very few would prefer Spotify. But while it appears ... | |
| Innuos Statement Review Regarding:- most DAC’s currently available are not optimized for USB / Ethernet input. - most people are quite satisfied with 16bit/44.1kHz streaming quality from Tidal/Qobuz. They can’t hear or appreciate the difference between 44.1kHz and 192kH... | |
| Aurender MQA update worth it? I added the MQA upgrade on my N10, and it was definitely worth it. I know MQA is controversial for some, but it sounds very, very good on my system. At this level, to get a significant performance increase for just $50 is a great deal. | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 speakers - any thoughts? Also in comparison with Sonus Faber Olympica 3s? When selecting my current set of speakers, I listened to both the Focal Kanta No. 2 and the Sonus Fabor Olympica 2 (not the 3). Not the exact comparison you are looking for, but close. Both speakers were driven with the same equipment in the sam... | |
| Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel I added a pair of REL S/5s to my system, which has Focal Kanta No 2s driven by a Levinson 585. Surprisingly big difference. Not just the bass (although it was markedly deeper and more impactful), but also in the sense of air and space around the... | |
| Focal Kanta 2 I purchased a pair of Kanta No. 2s about a year ago, I am driving them with a Levinson 585. with my digital source being an Aurender N10. Speaker cables are Transparent Ultras. I also have a pair of REL S5/SHO subwoofers. The Kantas succeed at ... | |
| The Levinson Sound? I have owned a lot of Levinson equipment, dating back to the 1980’s, including the ML-2, ML-3, and No 20 amps, and the ML-7 and No 26 preamps. The earliest stuff was wonderfully musical, but did have a somewhat dark sound. By the time of the No ... |
