| Power line conditioners- to use or not to use? That is the question? I'm about to buy an NAD M32 with Focal Aria 936 speakers. Dealer recommended the IsoTek EVO3 Polaris 6 outlet power strip/surge protector (with 1.5m Initium power cord). Anyone have any thoughts (good or bad) on this power strip/surge ... | |
| Toggling Integrated Amp Input During Music Playback The position of my pot is always right next to my listening chair. | |
| Power cord for digital stuffs? I'm buying an NAD M32 integrated amp, and I'm looking at a Pangea Audio AC-9SE MKII power cord for that unit. Any thoughts, comments and/or suggestions about these would be appreciated. Also as to the Pangea Audio AC-9SE MKII power cord itself. ... | |
| Digital Music sounds too bright? Putting a blanket over the TV screen won't work, if you want to watch TV. | |
| How important is component “aesthetics” to you? Unfortunately, too important. | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? Audio Research SP-7 pre-amp and D100 amp, and Dahlquist DQ20 speakers all bought in 1988 from Wilson Audio in New Orleans, Louisiana. Audio Research gear sold in 2017 (for 47% of original cost). Looking to sell DQ20s. | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response kosst, Thanks for the advice/suggestions. Yes, the 936s sounded great with the M32. I know the speakers are really sensitive, and don't need much to drive them, but I've read that, while they drive easily, it take a lot of juice to get the BEST fr... | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response :-) | |
| Spotify vs. Apple Music vs. Google Play vs. Tidal: Which is Best One more Tidal thought. They desperately need to up grade their interface (at least the desktop app, which is all I've used). You need to be able to search YOUR created playlists (not just theirs), and another big problem I have is that when you u... | |
| Spotify vs. Apple Music vs. Google Play vs. Tidal: Which is Best Agree with loomis. If you listen on hi-end audio, Tidal is IT! While I'm waiting to buy a new main system, I stream Tidal from my desktop (Tidal desktop app) in my office to KEF X300As. FANTASTIC sound. | |
| Lee Morgan Documentary Yeah, Mitch, thanks. The Nat King Cole doc was really good. I'll look for the Lee Morgan. | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response I listened to the NAD M32/Focal Aria 936 combo at Upscale Audio in California and loved what I heard. I also listened to the M32/926 combo at Upscale and the Moon ACE and the 926s (not at Upscale). I really didn't like the ACE/926 combo (althoug... | |
| what speakers to buy I agree that the Focal Aria 936s are fab, and thanks for confirming my experience with them. I've listened to them with the NAD M32 I'm going to buy and loved what I heard. The 926s not so much. | |
| Question for cable/wire naysayers..... Yeah, if the naysayers believe the earth is flat, you're not going to convince them otherwise. They've been told a million times to just listen and they'll hear the difference. If they won't, well, why waste your time? You're just upsetting yourse... | |
| DAC>Streamer>MQA>Wireless besides Bluesound The question at issue here is directly on point with my situation (sorry, I'm an attorney). My only content source will be Tidal. I'm about to buy an NAD M32 with the BluOS 2.0 module (and, although irrelevant to the question, Focal Aria 936 speak... |
