| Anyone use Apple TV remote for preamp volume? You should reach out to Ayre, maybe they can help you with the technical details. I would be interested in getting the apple remote to work. | |
| Are codex isn't working with Oppo when playing Blu-Ray When you say adjust, do mean from the options menu? I would try unplugging the power cord from the Oppo player, connecting it to a TV, set it to factory settings, power it down again and then try it again. Btw, does CDs work? Unless it's your am... | |
| Are codex isn't working with Oppo when playing Blu-Ray Unless you use the RCA outs on the Oppo (I’m assuming your unit is not the 105 model), SACD and Blu Rays will not work with the optical out. In other words, only red book CDs can be played through the optical out with the Oppo (I believe their hig... | |
| Ayre Codex - to keep or not to keep Are using an Oppo player as a transport to play the blu ray? Please tell us more about the components your using the inputs and outputs. | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 Don’t kill yourself, your Harbeths are better speakers than your $400 Epos. I’m not sure of the break in time of the Harbeth but most speakers need at else a min of 100 hours. I think most manufacturers say 300-400 hours of breakin. I think you ne... | |
| Harbeth Love and your experiences @helomech, couldn't agree with you more. Either you'll need to get subs or go higher up in the line. I'm not even sure if SHL5 will give you enough bass in your room. I owned a pair of C7s and ended up selling and getting full range floor speaker. | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars No need to go out to the island to audition Harbeths. I think Sound by singer still carries them. He located in the city. I also recommend going to In Living Stereo and listening to the Devores. | |
| Phono cable recommendations - high performance good value cable Had great results using balanced phono cable by Audio Sensibility. | |
| Streaming Tidal - What hardware is out there beyond the Bluesound I know many music lovers use a pc/mac to stream music but in my opinion they are a terrible choice and a lot of people spend all kinds of extra money trying to fix the "dirty" USB or jitter issues, buying USB isolators, reclockers, purifiers, silv... | |
| What is you TIDAL setup? I'm using an Aurender N100H to stream Tidal service --> AQ coffee USB cable --> into an Ayre Codex DAC. The sound is fantastic, plus no USB jitter issues. The USB out is super clean, absolutely no need for a USB isolator or purifier. Very ... | |
| How long does a DAC take to burn in? My Ayre Codex DAC took about 400-500 hours to breakin. I'm probably at 800-900 hours now and they sound fantastic at his point. Very happy with the sound. | |
| Integrated vs Separates, New vs Used - Rogue Audio, Simaudio, McIntosh??? Input Needed! +3 on @gdnrbob comments. For now, I would get a relatively inexpensive amp like a Peachtree or a used Hegel (both have decent built-in DACs) to power the KEF LS50 and once you’re confident that your child is not going to do anything harmful, sell ... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! I would also look into a used pair of Dynaudio DMs. They were significant better than the Elac B6 in every way, when I owned one. I would imagine that the Elac UB5 is closer to the Dynaudios. Honestly...you will never be happy with a $500 dollar... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars Beware...Devore O/96 need room to breathe but they do sound great in the open. I prefer the Harbeth 40.2 over the Devores in a tighter space. For your price range, my personal recommendation is the Vandy Quatro, smooth and very musically. Perfec... | |
| What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96? Not to go off topic but this is fun. Speaker talk is almost religious in this forum. Let’s face it guys, at the end of the day, it’s all about our taste. I’ve listen to the O96s for a good few hours with Shindo tubes. Excellent sound...I may have ... |
