| Top turntables under $2k There's a lot of excellent options. I highly encourage you to research and listen. I personally own a Rega turntable because I tend to believe the philosophy of low mass; and I know VPI makes some excellent turntables... Enjoy the process. | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often @bdp24 I'm appreciating your comments and I've heard DeVore speakers and the SuperNines sounded awesome. There are so many excellent speakers available, so when I saw the price the speakers didn't make there way into my home. To be fair there's ... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often The market is pretty efficient at selecting products folks buy or don’t. How would you propose increasing the rejection rate of hard to drive speakers? Isn’t this a hobby for enjoying and can anyone else really judge the best speakers for someon... | |
| Moving on from Parasound P5 Dac or Preamp I’m unclear on your goals and I will share what my goals were and how I solved it - during my upgrade path I explored upgrading my DAC- Moon 280D. I replaced it with a Moon 390 - it’s a preamp, streamer/DAC with a phono stage. Great piece and ... | |
| Power cords known to produce good bass In my experience - where I upgraded speaker cables, interconnects and then power cords - the lower end frequencies became clearer. The details were more evident and my interpretation is the noise was eliminated (I have shunyata power cords). | |
| Your suggestions: Headphone + DAC/Amp combo? @johnau I started with the chord mojo because the portability. I have travelled significantly for work and sometimes am away from home weeks at a time. I personally tend not to watch TV or listen to music on the road because (a) music selection/... | |
| Your suggestions: Headphone + DAC/Amp combo? @johnau The difference is night and day...and so is the cost. The Chord is wonderful for escaping with music where ever you are. I can enjoy music where ever I am. It's a step up from a headphone jack on a quality preamp. The Moon envelopes ... | |
| What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings? I think it may be the recording or even desired sound - I have Boston, LPs, DSD files and can stream lossless and they sonic characteristics are very close yet Boston doesn't have the bass line of Jazz I listen off of Linn Jazz. | |
| Newbie question - dedicated headphone amp or is my McIntosh MA352 sufficient @soix hopefully Elmer Fudd is preoccupied | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Boogie with Stu…Led Zeppelin | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? I am surprised - I have never had to say don’t touch. I invite folks over and perhaps it’s the area rug creating an a border but folks comment but don’t touch and are surprised at the clarity and detail of music when they sit in the sweet spot. | |
| Requesting upgrade advice How is the turntable isolated- a HRS platform was really impactful in my space. | |
| Upgrade to McIntosh Trust your ears. If you like it - that’s what matters. I’ve owned a C2600 and MC 302 with Sonus faber Olympica Nova Vs. Mc stuff has a strong secondary market. If you’re unsure experiment - Rogue makes some excellent hybrid and tube stuf... | |
| Your suggestions: Headphone + DAC/Amp combo? I have two systems...a portable and home system. Chord Mojo2/Poly Moon HA 430 with internal DAC and a Node 2i as the streamer I started listening to the headphone jack on my preamp...with Sennheiser HD800s I initially bough a portable syste... | |
| Newbie question - dedicated headphone amp or is my McIntosh MA352 sufficient My advice is tread lightly.... I picked up some headphones and enjoyed listening through my preamp. Then decided to try a headphone amp - the Chord Mojo2...it was a drastic improvement. Oh, yes you guessed it then I listened to a 'high end' non-... |
