Your last concert was to see who and when? saw aerosmith at the oracle openworld private party last night. They sounded fantastic. | |
Totem Arro or Sttaf or Hawk?? You didn't mention anything about your other equipment. I used to own a lot of totem speakers, including the arro's, model 1, and a couple pairs of mani 2's. I thought the arro's sounded great in my den with a low power jolida integrated amp. I us... | |
Emotiva Tube Amplifiers Coming In February I agree with other threads here that the emotiva products are branded too good to be true for their price. IMO, you get what you pay for, decent sound for a decent price, far from giant killers | |
Why is streaming sounding better than my DAC?? I wouldn't use the airport express unless you want to listen to background music. You know the restrictions using this device.I would look at how you setup the parameters in audirvana because they can make a difference.I would try to swap out the ... | |
Is computer audio a bust? far from it. i sold my multi-thousand $$$ CDP years ago. it depends on how you set things up, what computer you use, dac, protocol, cables, software to read and write the data, and other things. Don't go with Sonos, or apple tv's unless you want t... | |
Getting the best from Usher Mini Dancer II's I am using the rogue Cronus magnum with great results. Using the 4 ohm output. The DMD tweeter with an all tube amp is a very good pairing IMO. | |
Usher Tiny Dancer 2 - opinion Change in my reply. It should have said: "the bass in the md2 is also better than the mani's when properly setup and much easier to drive" | |
Usher Tiny Dancer 2 - opinion The mini dancer 2's blow away the mani 2's. I have owned multiple pairs of the totem mani 2's along with their model 1's, arro, and others. I sold all my totems and converted over to all usher speakers, I currently have the newer mini dancer 2's w... | |
Usher CP-6311 Tube Amp Recommendation I used to have the cp-6381's and now have the new mini dancer 2's with DMD and I have used the rogue Cronus magnum integrated with the it-120 tubes. Fantastic! Enough power to drive either of these harder to drive speakers and the cp-6311 are easi... | |
Best music server for the money Every 1 of these options requires a computer. How are you going to rip music to a NAS drive? Also, how are you going to backup the NAS drive or any drive you use? If you go with any of these servers listed above with internal disks, you have to as... | |
Wyred4sound dac-2 dsdse upgrade worth it I had the original dac2 and had them upgrade it to the dac2 dsd. This was a nice upgrade to an already good sounding dac. The upgrade gives me dsd and 32/384 capability. I would bet the upgrade to SE would be an even better upgrade. | |
Improving bass from a front ported speaker Did you setup the speakers properly in your room? I had the same problem with my new ushers, they had too much bass when I placed them in the same position as my older ushers that were back ported. I divided my room in 1/5's for my speakers and ch... | |
Usher BE-20 inquiry You might have too small of a room for the 20's. The 10's might be a better fit. I have the new mini dancer 2's in a 27 x 13 ft room with great results. | |
Usher CP-6311 Tube Amp Recommendation I sold my classe separates and went with the rogue Cronus magnum to power my usher cp-6381's and now my new usher mini dancer 2's. Plenty of power with the kt120 tubes. The 6381's were driven using the 8 ohm outputs and now I'm using the 4 ohm out... | |
looking for musical Tube Integrated Amplifier I have had the same odyssey amps in the past and have used the usher cp-6381's up until 3 weeks ago (for sale now). I have been using a newer rogue Cronus magnum tube integrated amp with the kt120 tubes with great success. They powered the 6381's ... |
