| Please suggest streamer $500 to $1000 used Jond, Aries was on top of my list. Is there a big difference between mini with power supply and regular Aries. I talked to a shop that said music drops out with Aries is this true. What is a far price to pay for mini with power supply and regulati... | |
| Any RME ADI-2 DAC FS owners here? I've only owned the RME adi-2 v2 for 2 days using mac book pro stock USB cable with Acoustic Zen silver ref 2 going into pre. This is my first ever dac. I'm exausted I've stayed up past 3am listening to this little box last 2 nights. I was going t... | |
| Need an inexpensive phono stage Find a Pass Labs Pearl for about $150-$200, then later if you need more gain due to Pearl only having 40db of gain add a Hagerman Picollo head amp for $250, that will give you up to 66db. I think Pass Labs Pearl can compete with $1000 plus pre's. ... | |
| AT-ART9 cartridge on Marantz TT-15s1 - I don't think I'm getting the performance I should I didn't read every word but could your tracking force gauge be bad. You could try to float the arm and set counterweight to zero then set counterweight to 1.5 - 1.8 and see if you gauge is close. Sounds like it could be a bad cartridge. Could ant... | |
| Newbie help - Building a system from scratch That's risky not able to demo gear. I'm sure you can find shops open and some by appointment only. Take a road trip. I would not buy speakers without hearing them. I owned a rogue 99 magnum long ago. It was a nice Preamp but not the most tubey sou... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please Yea, sorry about that it is $1210, the one I looked at is another model, they just look the same and I assumed it was the Orchid. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please cal3713, did you find the AMse to sound better than your Exemplar Denon 2900 or just different? I still use my 2900 and think it sounds great. I don't understand why the Orchids are selling used between $900 and $1000, one sold the other day in o... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please Thanks teajay, pm sent | |
| MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please Marian do you mind if I ask did the Orchid sound better or worse than your Exemplar Denon CD player? I still have my Exemplar Denon 2900 and love it with Amprex SQ's. Some times I prefer it to the Exemplar Oppo. What did you use to stream into Orc... | |
| $500 used CD Player Recommendations You mentioned Music Hall, if you can find a Music Hall Maverick they sound really good much better than 25.2, I owned one long ago. Very refined with nice full sound for the money. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please They both have a return policy, Orchid is 10% restock fee. Seems like both have loyal owners. Is one better than the other or just different presentation. Full dynamic and refined air is very important, I just don't want a lean sound. I would hope... | |
| How much $ in used gear streaming to beat $5000 CD player Audio Mirror looks very interesting, soix do you have the upgraded version or stock. Is it possible to buy a dac first and run a computer into dac and achieve good sound or is a streamer dac combo a must out the gate. | |
| Will upgrading Umbilical cord power supply to preamp improve sonics I did read before my second post when vendors names were given Revelation audio has had some issues with not shipping items after funds exchanged. I'm going to avoid them if this is the case, don't know if it is true but just what I read online. I... | |
| Will upgrading Umbilical cord power supply to preamp improve sonics Thanks, I will contact the above cable company's, now I know where to go. I'm quessing like everything else copper,silver and quality of connectors determine sound. | |
| Power Cable Suggestions I find DIY interconnects harder to duplicate great sonics, DIY power cables are pretty easy to hear an improvement in sound. Even 6 or 8 gauge Home Depot wire with some clamps on it will sound better than stock cord. Sonic craft has some nice prem... |
