| Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room? I’ve got a system set up against a 12ft short wall and on the living room end of a long (almost hallway-like) dining/living room space (old 2/1 bungalow, baby). Locked into that position as the entire length is mid-flanked by the fireplace and ent... | |
| To power strip or not I’ve had my eye on this one:AC Power Filter Power Conditioner - WAudio AC Power Purifier with Surge Protector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XWL2VVK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_stUSDbNXZ1PTPYes, Chinese made...but Sean at Zero Fidelity tried it with good r... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I’ve been trying to find some of the better recorded and more “recent” jazz projects with really innovative writing, eclectic instrumentation and unrivaled playing to boot. Lately haven’t been able to get away from:1. Mark Turner, Dharma Days 2. ... | |
| Amazon just killed Tidal @lwin Solid shoutout for Joe Parvey! His shop is just down the street from my house. He’s the real deal...that Wolf audio interface is no joke, outstanding on all levels! | |
| Fyne Speakers now in the USA @suncoast_audiowill you/do you also carry the F302 and F502’s? I’ve seen rave reviews for even the lower line of FYNE audio speakers. Wondering how they would compare to Tekton Lore Reference. | |
| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? @kijanki Great explanation, thank you! And in my case, definitely acoustic and jazz through very efficient speakers and a SS amp (considering some tube monoblocks!) | |
| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? Forgive my engineering ignorance....but isn’t there also the consideration of how much wattage is actually utilized on average? I’ve generally thought enormous power “on demand” may not necessarily guarantee a firmer grip on the signal - or be nee... | |
| Basic integrated amp for $700-$900 Have you looked into a used Creek Evolution 50 or 100? They do show up here and there. I got an Evo 50 here on Agon not too long ago, and I absolutely love it. Just mentioning as I’ve also got a Schiit DAC and it pairs well with it. | |
| Upgrade integrated within the $600 - 1k Range @mesch I’ve seen that one. Your impressions on it only validates my curiosity on it as well. I guess I’m torn between solid state or hybrid at this point. Am still leaning in the direction of consistent solid state, as my system also serves as the... | |
| Upgrade integrated within the $600 - 1k Range ThatvRogue really is nice! I’ve also been curious about the Creek Evolution a50. I see one here that looks very nice. Didn’t know if anyone here might have insight or direct experience with that one? As compared to some of the amps mentioned here... | |
| Upgrade integrated within the $600 - 1k Range Thank you all for these really generous and informative responses!...@soix That’s a great comparison, and really answers to the difference in nuance I’m seeking. Thank you 🙏🏼 i had looked at Hegel, but always thought it slightly above our cost jus... | |
| Blue Jeans Cable Sound Good??? It really does seem to be system dependent. I had tried Blue Jean for interconnect and digital, changing each out in different configs to compare with my Mediabridge and another decent generic at the time. BJC elicited surprising presence, but see... | |
| Graduating to separates need help .....Foegotcto mention that I’m not sure about the impedance matching for that? Someone here more knowledgeable could answer to that. | |
| Graduating to separates need help So many of these suggestions seem that they might hit home for you...I’ve heard nothing but great things about the Adcom amps in a modded config. Some prefer to completely start from scratch, personally I’m into the additive/change a bit at a time... | |
| Budget Music Streamer Forgot to mention/answer your other question about services. There are different formats of loadable (or preloaded) software that can offer plugins through the app (GUI) like Spotify (paid) YouTube (free) or radio. I think there is a roon option t... |
