| Austin Acoustic horns Also actually support artists by going to concerts and buying music. | |
| Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs? @ron1264 I think you would've been better off trying the Signature SE's for that room size. I am a huge believer in horses for courses, and the Focus SE's are VERY large, but it's great things worked out for you. I would love to listen to the GE T... | |
| Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs? Any good pair of speakers worth their salt should reveal the micro details and disappear IMO. | |
| Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs? @ cohicks4 Just worried about the bass output. My listening room is 11' wide by 20' long. so the speaker will have to be 7-8 feet apart to not sound terrible from wall proximity. My room is about 17 feet by 16 feet, but the couch is in the ... | |
| Can good soundstage be had in small room yep...hell my actual listening area is smaller than that and I have Legacy Signature speakers which are large floorstanders. I have them 8 feet apart, 4 feet from the side walls and about 3 feet from the front wall. And my seating position is 8 fe... | |
| Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs? I can’t speak to the Tektons, but I bought the Legacy Signature SEs earlier this year, which are one step down from the Focus SEs I believe. These are spectacular speakers. The twin woofers and the AMT mid range/tweeter units...they produce a fant... | |
| Ohm 2000s at NY Audio Show I was there yesterday...and recall the Hatari soundtrack as well. Typically I am kinda bored by the same demo tracks everywhere, but it's true that they do show off the equipment more than modern pop/rock tracks.My favorite rooms were actually th... | |
| Linestage search I don't know if you are looking for tube only. I'd highly recommend Ayre k5xeMP linestage. It's sweet sounding. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? The thing is, Primalunas offer a lot of options that many other amps do not. They are auto biased, you can use a multitude of tubes, they are remote controlled. They have high quality parts inside, etc.I haven't really found comparable options in ... | |
| Denafrips Ares DAC has arrived... need help with Oppo connectivity Try the Facebook group. Alvin is a member there and he is pretty active. Did you hook up the DAC to a laptop or any other source to test that it works? | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Hey Guys - I borrowed an inexpensive tube preamp and man what a difference. My rig was screaming for tubes. So much so now I'm thinking about a tube amp also? I think what you're hearing is just impedance mismatch between your DAC and the Powe... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. The idea of "taming brightness" or "changing tone" with ridiculously expensive cables always seems very nonsensical to me. Essentially you're ok buying 5K cables to filter the signal, but you are not OK with just introducing a decent equalizer in... | |
| what speakers to buy If you have an open area, you need largish speakers to fill it sound. I recently purchased Legacy Signature SEs from Dave actually, and definitely love these. However, I also have a soft sport for Focals, and those Utopias are pretty high end. Yo... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Right, but I am not sure a 40K delta sigma dac using off the shelf chips would necessarily compete with a well made r2r dac, which may be "only" 10K. Basically I am not sure the price is a huge part of this equation, rather designer skill and buil... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @mattnshilp , thanks. Currently I am in the market for a R2R ladder dac, specifically Metrum Pavane level 3. Have you tried that? |
