| New Falcon ls3/5a Silvers in the house I own the Falcon LS3/5A Silver Badge as well (in a second system...) and mine sound absolutely wonderful paired with my Audio Research VSi60. I have KT120s in the ARC and I'm just using a Node as a source sending the signal to a Border Patrol DAC ... | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K +1 for ATC SCM40a. Under budget and you can run XLR right to your tube pre. Have a look at their client list…. | |
| Is it worth it? DAC question Take the RCA cables out of the Node and insert them in the DAC. Your node will then send a digital signal to the DAC over USB and your DAC will convert that signal to analog and send it to the amp over RCA. | |
| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to +1 for the Little Willies record….if you wanna hear her tackle more of an alt country/rockabilly vibe with great back up players… | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System Hey Ozzy, I was there Thursday too. I spent most of my time in studio 2 listening to the Alexia V driven by ARC and dCS and I was impressed with the sound in that room. The dCS rep was playing a good mix of things to show off various elements ... | |
| Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000 About two months ago, I purchased a pair of Sonus faber Lumina II new for $1200 from a local dealer for my second system. I’m using a Rega Brio to drive them and I’m very impressed so far. I saw the Lumina I mentioned, but with the size of your ro... | |
| Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room) +1 for ATC! Had the 11s and now have the 40s. Someday….I’ll have the 50s and maybe even the 150s. I can’t imagine you being disappointed with the 11s or the 19s really… I saw some 19s used somewhere the other day for a pretty good price. best of ... | |
| Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k Alta Alyssa? Never heard them, but they’re pretty….and well reviewed. | |
| High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman.... Rega makes great integrateds with phono stages that will match nicely with your turntable. I think they’re all MM though….but I also think the Elicit R would drive the KEFs…..you could find out practically for free for 60 days… | |
| Why are there so few BNC cables to choose from @curiousjim, congrats! Glad you got it sorted. I replaced a 110 ohm Shunyata Delta with the Nordost BNC so I haven’t compared it to other BNC cables….I can say that all my other cables are Transparent and the Nordost is still in. It’s a well made ... | |
| Why are there so few BNC cables to choose from I currently use the reasonably priced Nordost Silver Shadow between my Berkeley Alpha DAC and Alpha USB. A quick search turned up a couple of these in the used market for around $200. Might be worth checking out…. | |
| CDP or Transport and DAC? Recomendations? My solution to this quandary was to go with a Sim Audio Moon 260D transport and Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC series 2. Both acquired used and under your budget. Sounds pretty sublime to me…. | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget Cambridge Audio EVO 150 seems to tick all your boxes and hit the $3k budget right on the nose….. | |
| Bookshelf/Small Speakers +1 for ATC. I owned the KEF LS50 (V1, passive) before switching to the ATC SCM 11v2 and the difference was astounding. The KEFs were more analytical, and very detailed….but the ATC is way more fun to listen to and not at all fatiguing. Warmer, mor... | |
| Speaker cables Mid High end I’m with @akg_ca.....Transparent all the way. Full loom. The name says it all! I have the Gen5 Supers and all Plus level interconnects. Very, very pleased. |
