| Ayre V-5xe Review Congrats! I also have to agree. Johnny Rutan + Vandersteen + Ayre is one heck of a combo. The best. Very satisfied! | |
| from Sphinx to Cronus Magnum? I've listened to both the Sphinx and CM2 at the dealer and the sound quality difference was very noticeable. The CM2 to me sounded a lot better in every way - cleaner highs, mids and better bass. I ended up spending the extra money for the CM2. F... | |
| Good DAC for playing computer files/streaming *and* SACD discs with transport? Maybe Oppo 105 will work for you. | |
| List of artists that have never lost quality throughout entire career I agree with @schubert , Bach was an one of a kind genius. His compositions are complex and beautiful. Anybody who plays the piano would tell you the same. | |
| List of artists that have never lost quality throughout entire career Just saw this thread. In regards to new wave music only. I really like the old Depeche Mode but after Alan Wilder left they frankly have been making just childish crap. DM's music has loss it's soul and the lyrics are simply childish. With that ... | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple @celo - hum....my wife has very muscial ears and she never thought Harbeth were flat with vocals. In fact, far from it, it was the one area she though the speakers were very good. Same here, I always enjoyed the vocals with the C7s. I'm wondering ... | |
| Why does the aurender N100h sound so bright and edgy I'm with @audioman58 on this one. I have an Aurender N100H connected to an Ayre Codex DAC using an AudioQuest Coffee USB cable. I did upgrade the power cord to a Pangea on the Aurender. Very happy with the results, better than any CD player or tr... | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple +3 on a pair of Vandys, I too owned a pair Harbeths. My wife liked the sound and look of Harbeths but they sounded a bit thin on the top and bottom. The mids were beautiful. With that said, comparing the two, the Vandy Treo CT was the clear winner... | |
| What is you TIDAL setup? I can't comment about the DAC built into the A10 but I suggest you consider getting a model without the DAC builtin into the player/streamer and keep the DAC separate. This will give you the flexibility to change DACs if you don't like the sound o... | |
| Small living room speaker options.. Totem Arro? The Harbeth P3SER may work for you as well. | |
| Helps me with long term system development. +2 for Johnny R. He help me build my current system. I'm very happy with the sound. | |
| Speaker to mount in a bookcase - up to $2000 (somewhat long) One step at a time. I would try the isolation stands for the speakers first and if needed go for the sub. | |
| Speaker to mount in a bookcase - up to $2000 (somewhat long) For the bookshelf speakers. I'm assuming the sub is going to be on the floor no? | |
| Speaker to mount in a bookcase - up to $2000 (somewhat long) One word of advice is to use a small isolation stand like the ones made by Iso acoustics. It should help with the sound quality. | |
| Please Critique my Setup and Recommend Upgrade(s) Many audiophiles have their own opinion on this subject but in my opinion, at the end of the day, the music comes out of the speakers. You can have all the best downstream sources and amp, but if your speakers can't produce the sound, you've hit ... |
