| Thoughts? - First Watt F8 / Vandersteen Treo's Thanks Gents! Always good to have someone smarter than me to run this type of information by. Leaning towards the Volti Razz which seems to be one to the top matches for the F8. | |
| Buying Used Speakers Timing on this topic and the comments are very helpful. I am in the market for a new set of speakers and definitely going the route of buying used. Its a plus to hear some of the suggestions that I have thought of, but there are quite a few new ... | |
| Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1) @krelldog - what Yggy did you have? Certainly seems this is a bargain for a quality DAC at this price point. | |
| Spendor D7.2 Pairing - First Watt F8 @wolf_garcia nice set up! I will get an XA-25 at some point in the future. Concentrating on the speakers for now. | |
| Spendor D7.2 Pairing - First Watt F8 @doni @daledeee1 @bjesien - appreciate the thoughtful suggestions. I have my eye on a pair of Volti Razz. I would definitely look at the Forte IV's but they are to wide for the tight space on the right side based on furniture layout. Plus the... | |
| Spendor D7.2 Pairing - First Watt F8 Thanks to all who responded! Some fantastic suggestions and very helpful observations. I am going to take a pass on the Spendors - they just don't seem to be a good fit with my F8 and I have a few other solid choices to evaluate. My large room ... | |
| Spendor D7.2 Pairing - First Watt F8 @mlsstl - The room is large and a combination open kitchen/great room ( 23' X27' ) with 10 foot ceilings. The speakers are on the back wall and either side of a fire place, around 12' apart. Listening volumes are somewhat low - jazz, R&B a... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line Great advice and info on this thread. I obtained the N 200 a few months back and the "coaching" from @lalitk & Juan @blisshifi was spot on. Happy with this in my system and both Conductor with Qobuz are bullet proof. Can't wait to see the i... | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal I have used both Tidal and Qobuz over the past 6 months streaming through my Aurender N 200. Both work well and no hiccups on Conductor with either streaming service. Based on my music preference - jazz, female vocals, R&B - I am finding Qob... | |
| Digital newbie Plenty of good "coaching" above and primers. I was in the same lane you are in a few years ago. Confused about DAC's, streamers, ethernet connectivity, streaming services, etc. I started with the BluSound Node 2i and educated myself along the w... | |
| Fyne or Great? Appreciate your observations.... it's a crap shoot on selecting/replacing a speaker if you don't try it in your own system. Agree with your comment on the Zu being lively and do appreciate this about the Zu. I might be patient and seek out a Zu ... | |
| is anyone using an Aurender streamer with Schiit Yggdrasil? I can chime in based on owning a Yggdrasil LIM and the Aurrender N200 streamer. My digital path took me initially from the BlueSound node to adding the Yggy while utilizing the node for streaming. I then replaced the node completely with the Aur... | |
| Which LPS is worth it for Bluesound Node 2i? Also a quick side note worth mentioning is that Upscale Audio offers an S Booster interface board and coupled with the 5-6 V Sbooster power supply it would be a one stop shop - $379 for the power supply/$149 for the interface board. I have no aff... | |
| Which LPS is worth it for Bluesound Node 2i? Just ran across your inquiry and wanted to give you a few thoughts based on my digital journey starting with the BS Node. I had the Node for 6 months and decided I wanted to explore the benefits of digital vs my analog rig. I initially added an L... | |
| Aurender Model Choices Great thread here with input from a number of trusted sources that I "listened" to when going through my streamer selection process six months ago. I decided on Aurender and was going to go with a new N150 but decided instead to search for a gen... |
