| A MEMBER IN NEED OF SUPPORT I enjoy your posts. Best of luck going forward. Glad you and your family are least safe. -Brian | |
| New to me speakers I would not be looking to power Utopias with low to moderate power tube amp. I have heard Moabs and a few more recent Utopia line speakers, and my opinion it is pretty lopsided. No speaker is an island though, you have to have the right gear. | |
| RMAF 2021 Cancelled Sorry to hear that. I had fun at those shows. Must make it point to support Axpona. | |
| Speakers for Computer There are a lot of DAC/digital to analog converters with USB inputs that can connect to the USB port on your computer without having to concern yourself with a sound card. There are also a lot of devices with the DAC and the speaker amplifier in t... | |
| What audio expos are worth going to? I used to go to Axpona annually until they moved it out of Rosemont. JD Events does an excellent job producing it. I also used to go to RMAF, but found the Marriott hotel was not made for audio shows ;). I think they have moved it. Both definitely... | |
| High Quality dac with network streamer saves $1,000s Sorry for any confusion. My M3 has the Ethernet connection. Aes with my cdp sounds better than it as described with what I have on hand. Maybe I will try a switch as an experiment. Thank you. | |
| High Quality dac with network streamer saves $1,000s I bought an M3 with the idea of the built in renderer saving money as well but have yet to purchase a server. Hooking up my iMac with Audirvana by way of generic ethernet cable and wifi with two different routers has led my to conclude sound quali... | |
| Corner problem? RE: Rippling cones The final resting spot for one of my subs is inches away from my turntable. Using REW to generate a sine wave at the problem room resonance mode frequency, I found a null by walking around with a decibel meter to where I will move my turntable. Th... | |
| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2021 "Bruce's Bar In Severance Colorado"Wow. I was regularly there as a kid. My dad and I were friends with Bruce, Dennis and Linda...RMAF is good. Glad it has moved on from the Marriott, though. | |
| Long hiatus from audio, getting back into it, speaker/room help please I live in the Dallas area. Audio Concepts salesmen are nice, professional people and sell Magnepan along with other big names. | |
| Help with Shortlist of Speakers! (SF vs Devore vs Others?) My opinion is that SS amplification the broadly antithetical to the orangutan line. I heard them with NAIM and it sounded like disappointment. Much prefer SF with your current gear. Looking at pictures and hearing in person are very different thin... | |
| Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia I remember shamefully being relieved my Boxster was built in Germany (by real Germans!) instead of Finland. Super nuts, but oh well. | |
| Lack of Lamm customer service? You may be getting ahead of yourself. I have always had good repair experiences with Lamm with reasonable turnaround time. | |
| Why are equipment racks so expensive? While the Lack is a very good shelf for next to nothing, Finite Elemente and SRA racks (examples I own) are better sounding and better pieces of furniture. I am not sure of the cost question. One is designed to be ultra cheap and mass manufacturer... | |
| How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)? The ATC SCM40s have low frequency extension as good as any three-way speaker of their size and better quality bass than than nearly all at that price point. I know that model. The specifications ATC provides is a bit misleading because their speak... |
