| Play music from laptop over WiFi to existing audio system: how? I stream Pandora and tidal thru my audioengine B1. I'm thinking of "upgrading" to a Bluesound node 2i. I believe I can use the DAC on my MBL player via Toslink. Will this upgrade sound quality or is this overkill running wireless thru a $9K CD ... | |
| Speed kills.... ???2channel8: I have the Lambda headphones with an SRM-1 (mark2, I believe) amplifier. I'm trying to replicate that sound but on a larger scale. | |
| Speed kills.... Duke, that was one of the most lucid, informative responses I've read in any forum. | |
| Speed kills.... Prof: the t8's are slow when I compare them to my stax headphones. Very coherent but slow. I guess I'm trying to replicate the stax sound but on a larger scale. that probably puts me in the planar camp, but space is an issue, otherwise the new... | |
| ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6 Is anyone using S/S amplification with the ref 6 and if so, what? | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Just read a review in positive feedback on the AudioNet Watt that left me drooling. In my dream world I wish someone would do a shoot-out between the Absolaire, Ypsilon, Gryphon, T&A, and AudioNet. | |
| Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe Thyname there are a lot of good recommendations here. I learned something with this thread. I'm going to add the VX-R to my short list. Soundstage gave it a great review but the reviewer noted that he's heard more impactful bass before. Also,... | |
| Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe I'm surprised that stringreen didn't ask if you are using the V-5xe in balanced mode. I have matched the V-5xe with a K-5xemp pre but like you I'm also looking to upgrade. I feel this combo is a little on the lean side of things. | |
| Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe I was looking for a boutique integrated along the likes of Vitus, Gryphon, AudioNet , T&A, etc. but then I read a review of the Luxman M900u and I'm trying to figure a way how I can afford it (and retire at the same time!). | |
| Jack DeJohnette incredible musician. i'm a big fan of the earlier ecm recordings with Jarrett, Holland, kenny wheeler, etc. would strongly recommend the two gateway albums on ecm. unfortunately, these are not available on tidal. | |
| Would like to hear from Ayre owners especially those who dared to venture. I have a k5xemp mated with a V-5Xe. I'm looking to replace the combo with a SS integrated of the likes of Vitus, Gryphon Diablo, T&A, or AudioNet. The AX-5 twenty has received good reviews as well so I will probably add that to the list. I... | |
| If I love Elvin jones I'll love.....? jafant, I love the late Ed Blackwell. I also have a few albums by Paul Motian as well. My problem is that the old timers are dying off and no one seems to be picking up the baton.Guys, thank for the other suggestions. I'm going to check out the... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one smoffatt I have not heard the vitus SIA-025 but one of the concerns I have is that in some of the reviews I read is that the reviewers hint that the magic disappears running the amp in the higher output mode. Can you or anyone else comment on this? | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one This is one of the more enjoyable threads I've read in years. DEnon1 there is currently an Aavik integrated that is being offered at a very reasonable price. TAS went Gaga over the unit if I recall. I have the gryphon, Aavik, T&A, and th e ... | |
| dinosaur ISO player... 24phun:. A LOT of us have Cary 306's. I' m very interested to see what direction you ultimately end up taking. The option I'm looking at is to upgrade with a separate dac. It sounds like your really beholden to hdcds. You may want to look at ... |
