| Liquid Amps In my current set up I am running Dali MS4 speakers with a Modwright KWA 150 SE amp and a pair of REL R 528s. Does anyone have an opinion on that set up with regards to the topic or any other? | |
| Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer? Imo-A cd in my $200 lg blue ray player sounds much better than the Tidal. This is what sparked my feeling that the source was the weakest link. Is a cd always better than streaming? I ask because I think I would be satisfied if a streamer could of... | |
| Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer? @Kalali -With an Apple mobile device or computer, you basically just hit play and then choose the Apple TV box to send the music to. Per robr45, it is truly one of the main reasons I listen to music as much as I do. It changes so much about what... | |
| AV Furniture - Depth Exactly. You would probably need to take off the back and would still see wires all over the place from the sides. I'd be willing to get one like if available. A cabinet with doors etc and some modern styling. At least it would look good from t... | |
| Is there any advantage to lower efficiency speakers? 87 or below? Thanks everyone! These are really good explanations. | |
| DAC with Home theater bypass If you do not use analog inputs, several dacs are available which have a volume control. This eliminates the need for a preamplifier. I have a wadia 321 which does this however does not have HT bypass. I think the (Wyred for Sound) Dac 2 is a... | |
| Is there any advantage to lower efficiency speakers? 87 or below? Ok extended bass. I knew these dali ms4's were suppose to sound best away from the wall and now I know why. My only concern would be if I wanted to pair with a lower wattage tube amp in the future. With that said, Johnny Cash sounds unbelievable... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Yes. I have seen a couple of discussions on the forum about that subject. A good point. I could see how certain sounds can bring you to memories of how things should sound vs how they actually sound. As I wasn't privy to owning very good sound ... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? @sumwhat Are you saying there is (less than optimal) legacy equipment available at some price points while (optimal) legacy equipment at perhaps higher price points ?"As the components, and various engineering trade-offs, of legacy systems become... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Thank You for all of the feedback and recommendations on these questions. I am going to take a few days to look some of these amps up. I wish I could sit in a room, listen and compare them over a couple of days but I get a feeling that is not go... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? What is a better amp/ deal:The Threshold 350e mentioned in the above thread or this Pass x 3 amp with link below?http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649340044-pass-labs-x3-150w-x3/?utm_campaign=new-watchlist-added&... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Sorry for the confusion. I think my speakers require too much power for me to consider a pure Class A that I could afford. I like the sound of the Kenwood 700 M over my Peachtree Grand (ICE Power) so was going to move to solid state / with DAC ... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? I had no idea most class A type amps switch into alternate AB power after a set threshold. This is really cool though. Just looking for advice on a great solid state choice in the 2k - 3k range. So far Pass designs are king. Let me know if the... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Interesting - thanks! | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Part of my inspiration to move to solid state was a purchase of a Kenwood 700 M which I think sounds amazing compared to my ICE powered amp. I figured a modern solid state version would be even better. The Threshold looks nice. |
