| Dynaudio Contour 60 too much for 14x13x11 room? Thank you everyone. There is an open fireplace on the wall where the speakers are. I’m new to this, but I’m pretty sure that the problem. yes, I know, I'm dumb. | |
| Dynaudio Contour 60 too much for 14x13x11 room? Thanks, bojack. The room turns out to be 16.5 x 14. In any event, I have a huge dropout somewhere between 200-60 hz (I have a pair of Contour 20s, and a pair of Rel S/510s). I have Levinson 585 and I find that I have to go to 50% to get any decent... | |
| 2019 Mac Pro vs. Roon HI ghdprentice. My associated gear is the Levinson 585 integrated (about $12k) and my speakers are Dynaudio Contour 20is (about $6k). My speaker cables are AQ Gibraltars and I use an AQ Carbon USB. I think it's a pretty resolving set up, but who k... | |
| 2019 Mac Pro vs. Roon This chain has been really helpful, so I wanted to follow-up with more detail and findings. Let me be clear, the SACD 30n is an excellent sounding piece of equipment, but I ended up returning it. I eventually determined that it probably doesn't... | |
| Marantz SACD 30n USB (not USB-DAC) input I'm the OP. Let me be clear, the SACD 30n is an excellent sounding piece of equipment, but I ended up returning it. I eventually determined that it probably doesn't work with USB 3.0 (I think that was the problem - I didn't have enough time to ru... | |
| Marantz SACD 30n USB (not USB-DAC) input Thanks, Yage. I appreciate your help. It doesn't throw an error message. | |
| 2019 Mac Pro vs. Roon Thanks much everyone. I'm going to look at the Uptone Audio gear. I read the Roon white paper. I didn't read anything about USB noise. My system (Levinson 585, Contour 20i, SACD 30n, etc.) seems deserving of the best signal I can't send to it. T... | |
| 2019 Mac Pro vs. Roon Thanks for the info! What about the Marantz? It allows you to plug in a USB drive, connect to a network, and stream. Is that like a music server? | |
| Looking for advice re: amps for Dynaudio Contour 20i Thanks everyone! I appreciate the advice. akg_ca, last night I was thinking along the lines that you laid out - sort of like high torque / low revs vs. low torque / high rev horsepower; e.g., a 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder with equal power will never... | |
| Looking for advice re: amps for Dynaudio Contour 20i Thanks IslandManDan. That's what I'm thinking. I just can't decide whether to spend the $5-6k on a refurbed statement level classic, or go with something like a Levinson 5805 (or maybe used 585). | |
| Looking for advice re: amps for Dynaudio Contour 20i Just to add to this: are vintage Krell and Levinson Class A amps recommendable? I guess the real question I'm asking is, would the performance of such an amp be considered poor compared to the new Class A A/B amps? |
