| Bose buys McIntosh I think it is a great fit. One lifestyle brand buys another. Remember the jingle: No highs, no lows, must be Bose. | |
| Processor sound comparison- Anthem avm90 vs NAD M17 V2i Just a thought. I have had 4 Anthems - the latest is an AVM-70. There is no doubt that they sound the best in my opinion, but they fail, and don't really function smoothly. I purchased an Onkyo for my girlfriend and I was amazed at how seamle... | |
| Need new pre amp @livingon2wheels ARC was playing music through the Khorns and the sounded pretty good. For me it was a "Clockwork Orange" memory. And I did say I had really crappy electronics. Klipsch are not Wilsons however. | |
| Need new pre amp @ronboco I saw Wilsons, Maggies, and the surprise was Acora speakers being driven by their new high power tube amps. There were some other speakers, but they were not ones I was interested in so I didn't pay attention. They also had some Kli... | |
| Need new pre amp If I was on a budget I would look at Rogue RP-7. If I wanted solid state it would be Jeff Rowland Capri I have been very happy with my Audio Research. I started with LS, now I am with REF 6SE. I recently toured the factory - I cannot see how ... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC I was thinking about a DCS - but I wouldn't touch it after this. | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. I thought John Prine - Tree of Forgiveness was pretty sweet. | |
| Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1) I have had the Direct Stream Mk 1 for about 4 years - I am always tempted to get something "better", but when I A/B with something in the 5K price range, it still shines. There are two DAC’s that I have heard better - the DAC in the Rowland Daemon... | |
| DAC upgrade I a/b'd the Qutest with the PS Direct Stream with Bridge. I felt they were very close. I picked the PS for 3 reasons 1. PS Audio Support. 2. Readout on a screen as to what is playing and what resolution. 3. XLR. You can get them at TMR fo... | |
| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz My kids like Tidal better for EDM and RAP. I also think their interface and song suggestion algorithms are pretty sweet. They are missing some Dylan albums which is really lamo. They just don't sound as good as Qobuz. There MQA was just na... | |
| Anthem AVM-70 8K I have the AVM 70 - their software is fantastic - it is my 3rd Anthem - every Anthem I have owned (some of them were avr) have failed so make sure you have a good dealer to stand behind the product. I only buy them because my dealer is great. I ... | |
| Help me choose an Audio Research preamp/line stage (Please?) You can find the LS-27 for $3500 - very sweet. | |
| Which ARC ref linestage to try: Ref3, Ref5, Ref5SE? HATE forward sounding systems I had the LS-27, loved it. But as I upgraded other components, I noticed that the soundstage did not have the depth. I upgraded to the REF 6 which produced the results I wanted. I am running Wilson MAXX speakers and Rowland SS amps. I just replace... | |
| Anthem vs Arcam I have never tried the ARCAM, but I have had 4 different ANTHEMS - Sound MUCH better than Denon (which I had), Marantz (which I have had), Onkyo (which I have had - sounds better than Denon or Marantz in my opinion) BUT: My 1120 the volume got ju... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @rsf507 It wasn’t that the Acora speakers were deficient, the model I heard only had one driver, they did not have the model with two drivers. Even the one with the single driver blew me away. Definitely WAY better than Magico or Rockports that we... |
