| Streamer output options I have a Mytek Liberty 2. It's a couple of years old, so totally obsolete! 😀 | |
| Streamer apps critical One thing that flabbergasted me is that PSAudio felt ok releasing the AirLens, which seems a great streamer, without a native interface. I'm looking at buying a streamer in the 2-3k range and I'm afraid it WON'T be the AirLens. | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement Admittedly, I have big Maggie's, which are very sensitive, but I adjust entirely by ear. No measurements. I suspect the channels are a bit different, different acoustic environment, different sound between channels, etc. My left speaker is slightl... | |
| Location of compoments. My components sit directly on the vinyl tile covered concrete basement floor. It's a huge pain for the turntable but great for everything else. No vibration issues, no wobbly and expensive racks and no acoustic complications. | |
| Streamer apps critical The cost of Roon is high as are the hardware requirements. I'm a chemistry not an IT pro. I don't want to deal with Roon, nor does it seem to play nice with everything. The mfg will spend like crazy on milled aluminum chassis an 10 inch LcdScreen... | |
| ??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? I heard a million dollar system at a Florida dealer this year. It was based 9n Wilson Chronosonics with Burnmeister and Aurender electronics and a VPI table. It's the first system I've ever heard that 'did 8t all'. I listened for 30 minutes and co... | |
| 6SN7GT VT231 TUBES I know this is not really what you're asking but I have a VTA SP-14 and just replaced the 4 6sn7's with 7n7's (you'll need a base adapter, readily available on ebay). A much more open and detailed sound with no etching of the treble. The bass seem... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I first heard the big Maggies about 35 years ago. They gave the best sound I'd ever heard, but I listened to the naysayers who were naysaying exactly the same things they're naysaying now. So I bought JBL's instead. The sound of the Maggies never ... | |
| Bluesound I despise updates that don't allow you to roll back. I've sitting on an update for my Mytek Liberty 2 DAC for 2 YEARS. As for BluOS and all the other programs, I wish ONE of them would get it right! For example: the search function and the sort ... | |
| Replacing My Maggie 3.6R I've been a Maggie fan for 35 years. I've strayed but always returned. I have 3.3'r and dream about 3.6's! Buy 3.7's or x,s | |
| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp If you're into a kit, try the Vacuum Tube Audio SP14. I did mine up with Mundorf Ag/Au caps, Khozmo remote attenuator, Vishay resistors and NOS 6sn7 tubes. Fits my system's sound like a glove and it's been absolutely trouble free for many years! | |
| What are your thoughts/opinions on the Orchard Audio Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium It would have been on my short list but the lack of a single ended input is a deal breaker. Yes, I know that there is an adapter cable. Not a chance.... I've done everything I can to simplify, match and perfect things like cables and connections, ... | |
| concrete (cinder) block tower with wood chopping block for turntable stand I put mine on the concrete slab floor. Â | |
| Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension NEVER buy without listening in YOUR system FIRST! Cords do make a difference but in my experience, the effect is unpredictable. | |
| Bought A Set of Martin Logan CLX ART Its Going To Be An Adventure I have Maggie 3.3r's, very different character but similar placement issues. After decades of trial and error (I have NEVER heard a speaker as finicky about placement, though I suspect the ML's are the same), I finally settled on following Paul Mc... |
