| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? For the money u spent on this amp, there are plenty of better options out there. Like the one mentioned , Hegel, Belles, Bryston, audio research all have plenty of current to drive speakers to sound full, at a lower volume. But all these people ar... | |
| Turntable Quandry I have an older sl-q3 which I would always lose one of the channels with the hardwired cables. So I modified it and put rca connectors on the back with better cables. Sounds much better, along with better cartridge and headshel. | |
| Turntable upgrade I had the chance to compare 3 different phono preamps if u care to upgrade there. I compared the rega aria, the rogue ares II and just the phono pre amp in my receiver. I didn’t think the rega was a huge difference from the receiver. However the r... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? I run my cd player into my streamer dac. It improves the sound a bit. Plus the coax output makes a difference rather than using the rca output | |
| Integrated Amplifier Recommendations Needed Hegel I thought was warmer, and belles is very crisp and clear. But it depends what you like. They are both good recommendations | |
| Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better? I used to stream from my Mac mini using the headphone out into an adapter for optical. But your limited to 96khz 24 bit. With an external streamer/dac like auralic, you can stream much higher resolution with less noise from a computer. 192khz/24bi... | |
| Any regrets in selling gear? Regret getting rid of my Sony 707 ref cd player and my proton d 1200 amp. But can’t turn back time | |
| McIntosh purchased by Bose...NOT an April Fool's joke. Where’s all the customer service gonna be for all the MAC owners? I guess they’re gonna contact Bose now? | |
| 30 yr old speakers- time to replace drivers? Thx for all the input. As of right now, I think I’ll go on the one thought, if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. They still sound pretty good. Besides, they’re only used as my surround speakers at this point, so thanks everyone. Down the road if neces... | |
| Non-Audiophile Audiophile question! Maybe if u have the space, on wall planars | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? If so u may need an area rug for sound absorption. Too much reflection in a room will sound bright, glass, cement, any hard surface. Even going from leather furniture to fabric makes difference in sound. | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? In ur pic, is that a cement floor for your listening area? | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? yyzsantabarbra hit the nail on the head with getting Maggie’s off the floor with the magneriisers and their supplied jumpers. Vast improvement. They tune the risers for each speaker. Audiofilo123: Your right that the belles does get hot, but I hav... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? The new crossover in magnepan… any way to generate profit. For me, I’m staying stock until the next upgrade bug. | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? Yea I tried the resistors once, sounded like my ears were clogged |
