| Bluesound Node 2 as a preamp? WhatHiFi gave the Node 2 a mediocre review regarding sound quality, and high regarding everything else. That was using the analog outs of the Node 2. I would like to hear from people who use the Node 2 as a DIGITAL source with their own DAC. Doe... | |
| Tube amp for ATC SCM19s There is a pair of quicksilver v4 amplifiers that use KT 150 tubes that I think would be a worthwhile contender, here on audiogon | |
| Ideas for my next DAC....? Get a Singxer SU-1 to feed USB to your audio note. | |
| DIY Jumper Suggestions How about pre out/ amp in jumpers for integrated amps (eg NAD)? | |
| My JL Audio sub is dead. What exactly happened? @polar993 I sent my 113 in five weeks ago, and they said it would be a three week turnaround. Apparently they are short on parts and are waiting for the right parts to come in. I don’t know how long that will take. I didn’t want to open it up an... | |
| Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps I have a VAC Signature 2a SE preamp and a DSD, and read digital definitely sounds better through the preamp than direct into my VAC Phi 200 amplifiers | |
| How old are your speakers Avalon Eidelon Diamonds, developed around 2000, purchased used in 2011. | |
| Any Empirical Audio Synchro Mesh users out there? Thanks Steve. I would also like to hear specifically from people who have used a SM downstream of a CD player used as a transport. | |
| Tidal, Deezer I've heard very good things about Qobuzz, better SQ than Tidal. Anyone have direct experience? | |
| Any Empirical Audio Synchro Mesh users out there? I would like to re-open this discussion. I've heard that the Synchro-Mesh has been updated and improved, and older units can be returned for the update for relatively cheap. Empirical Audio often states that with the SM, the transport no longer ... | |
| Are Avalon still in Bussines Me too. Avalon, what's going on? Great speakers, but I don't understand the customer relations or marketing. Seems like they try to get people to talk with dealers rather than directly with them? | |
| Amps for Vandersteen 3a Sigs Once he gets everything else dialed in, and he is satisfied and stable, if he gets the itch and wants some variety, I would set him up with Quicksilver V4's, possibly running KT150 tubes! Always looking for the bang for the buck :-) | |
| Value of Adding Bridge II to Direct Stream DAC Thanks Mark. That may be the case. I can purchase with 30-day return from PSA, or maybe elsewhere for a bit cheaper. I could also look into trade ins. I would, however, like to hear from folks who have upgraded their DSD with the Bridge. Anyb... | |
| Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy! @gdnrbob The supertweeter is pretty subtle, it adds just a bit of the "tic" sound when the drumstick touches the cymbal. Not a big change, but nice to have that little bit of extension. I would not call it a "must have", more an indulgence. | |
| Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy! It is impressive, and I am using a Townshend Audio supertweeter mounted to the inside of each stacking frame. The first time I heard stacked quads was at CES in 2000, but the room was bigger than mine is (13.5x18.5), and I think the top/bottom pa... |
