| Jeff Rowland Stringreen,I just had a discussion yesterday with a friend regarding adding a sub. The thought was to add a JL F112. Unfortunately it would cost more than I currently want to spend...I don't have a preamp; therefore I would need to purchase the JL... | |
| Jeff Rowland Almarg,Speakers are as follows:the rear of the speakers are 4' 2" from the front wall8' apart, 4' 8" from sidewalls, I sit 10'away, my head is 6'away from the rear wallI have 2 GIK Soffit Bass traps in each front corner from floor to ceiling, 6 GI... | |
| Jeff Rowland G.,I take everything I read with a "grain of salt." I understand that everyone has their biases. I love the Rowland sound, but I'm lacking bottom end and I'm trying to find the most cost effective way to correct it. It could be the Rowland or a co... | |
| Jeff Rowland Jon2020,Yes, I sent you an email and didn't "post" my question. If you feel the need to post my "Private Message", you should post all of it. In addition, I said,"The JR M525 is very detailed, I compared it to a bryston 4bsst2 and parasound A21...... | |
| Jeff Rowland G.,Slightly warmer is fine, I don't want to loose detail, imaging, or the three dimensional soundstage. I already have a PS Audio Directstream DAC; therefore I don't need the DAC card. If your suggesting the DAC card is as good as my DAC, I would ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Well I'm 95% sure I'm going to get a Capri S2. I love my current sound, but I go direct from my Directstream DAC to the M525. I need the additional gain from adding a preamp. I just hope adding the S2 doesn't degrade the sound. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Bill_k,You didn't upset me. This is only audio; not life and death. My guarantee was somewhat "tongue-in-cheek", meaning in this hobby someone else will declare the Bricasti is inferior to the DAC they prefer. | |
| Jeff Rowland A sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to respond. This thread is representative of how posting a question can be of value...at least to me! I asked the same question to Jeff Rowland technical support and a dealer. I'm disappointed that th... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Ok, so what's better? Soundstage, bass, midrange? I'll have a M1 shortly and if I agree with your assessment, I'll be sure to post it! Listening always makes it clear. | |
| Jeff Rowland Stringreen,Do I detect a little sarcasm in your comments? | |
| Jeff Rowland Al,Thanks for the technical information. Now it makes sense why Rowland was hesitant to say for sure bridged 525s would work. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC If you read my comments, I didn't say a particular DAC was better. My point was this is all subjective and no matter how good we submit something is, there is always better. The most recent DAC I listened to was the Esoteric. I didn't compare it t... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Fsmithjack,Reading your comments highlights what's wrong with highend. I compared the M1 two days ago to a directstream in my friends system. Yes, the M1 is better, but to my ears to say now that the Directstream is a piece a junk is laughable. I ... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Speakers and audio are very subjective and one man's poison, is another one's medicine. I've listened to Aviors several times and just can't understand the appeal. The best speaker that I've heard in that general price are the Raidho C3.1s. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I know price isn't always an indication of sound quality, but I don't understand why it's a shock that the Bricasti M1 sounds better than the Direct Stream...it should, it cost 1 1/2 times as much. When I purchased my Direct Stream my dealer told ... |
