| Interconnect recomendations, ~$500 new or used, RCA... I've been steadily moving up the Audioquest line of interconnects. The starkest difference (to my ears) was going from Water to Earth. I found a good place to stop with the Earth cables. I'm more than satisfied with their performance for the $$. Y... | |
| TOOL available in 24/96 @kosst_amojanI was comparing to the lossless rips I have (still have my original CD's purchased when the albums came out). I really enjoyed the hi-res versions more. Let me know what you think. | |
| Simaudio 390 Network Streamer | DAC | Preamp Why not consider the Moon 330a or the 400m monoblocks? I love my Moon. Next step for me is a 390 with a 330a. | |
| Apple iTunes or What Else I really enjoyed Audirvana as far as sound quality goes. However, Roon's user experience and interface was super impressive. I had been using Audirvana for quite a while with my last amp. When I got the new amp I experimented with Roon. I really e... | |
| Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail The new KEF R series and Sonus Faber Sonettos come to mind when you say "romantic". Obviously I haven't listened to every speaker manufacturer in the history of the world, but these two are the most recent that I think may fit the bill. At least i... | |
| Problems with Audirvana connectivity I've had several problems with Audirvana over the last few years. Your best bet would be to email Audirvana directly. They've always gotten back to me within a reasonable time. Good luck! | |
| Power Conditioner recommendations? Audioquest has the new Powerquest 1 and 2. I think the 2 is about $300. I've been looking for a new one as well. Planning on picking a Powerquest 2 next month. | |
| 5687 Tube Suggestion Andy over at Vintage Tube Services is great! He's incredibly knowledgeable and will take the time to talk over the differences in tubes. He was super helpful when I was looking for different tubes for my old pre-amp. Ended up with some Mullards an... | |
| Pro-Ject Classic Turntable & I've had The Classic for a little over a year now and love it. Had a Sumiko EVO III then it broke. At a friend's recommendation I picked up a Hana EH. Loved my EVO III, but the Hana is no slouch either. I was using an Audio Research PH3 as a phono... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Jaye Jayle "House Cricks and Other Excuses to Get Out" | |
| Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks... The VLR CTs sound incredible. Better than my LS50s and 2CE Sig IIs. The only speakers I really like more are the Treo CTs, but they are way outta my price range. | |
| Buying advice: McIntosh vs SimAudio for Integrated Amplifier/DAC. I don't have too much experience with Mc, but I do recall them sounding pretty "dark". This was mentioned by another commenter here. I have a Moon ACE and love it. I really prefer the Simaudio sound. The 10 year warranty is pretty great too. If mo... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Dead Rider "Crew Licks" Read about them before I heard them. They were described as "glitch blues". Haven't thought of a better way myself. | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans @tomic601 Figured out the virtual systems thing. Posted some photos of my room. | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans I owned the 2ce Sigs and loved them! Was driving them with a Peachtree 220se. I was moving from Milwaukee to NYC so I had to let them go. Switched over to KEF LS50s with a REL sub, and was more than happy for a while.I've done a bit of an overhaul... |
