| Can’t recommend ASUS VivoMini enough if you need Roon Core I just checked it out. Thanks for the recommendation. | |
| Why wont speaker companies publish their measurements? bluemoonriver: "I will propose to a future wife based on measurements only. What could possibly go wrong?" Haha........(two years later) "but I thought this relationship would last, your measurements are great!" | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? It’s the same people arguing over the same things over and over. I’ve literally left threads and come back 6 months later and yep: the same people arguing and saying the same things. Audiophile fuses, MQA or Tekton speakers anyone? | |
| Best integrated for my needs???? ratbastrd - I heard a demo of a Devialet integrated going on 2 years ago. It was fine but probably not that much better than your Peachtree you currently have. Perhaps they have gotten better but $12,500 for a refurbished 440 Pro? No way. Again, I... | |
| Best integrated for my needs???? Hey ratbastard (gotta love that user ID) - They are hard to find right now but check-out the NAD M33. It’s getting rave reviews, costs $5,000, includes a very nice streamer, DAC, user interface, DIRAC live, MQA and most importantly a 200w/ch ampli... | |
| Can anyone recommend a good streamer/DAC? I’d suggest the most popular streamer/DAC out there. The Bluesound NODE 2i. Don’t worry about the low price - it sounds good - nice fit for your Rogue and KEF gear, in my opinion. Does Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify, MQA, etc. and the control software is s... | |
| Has anyone shipped things back to China? Yeah, don’t do it. | |
| Yamaha R-N803 one of the best values in high-end audio? @mike_in_nc - yeah that's probably true. I admit I wasn't very patient with YPAO. Since I've been working from home because of COVID-19 this may a good time delve in to it again. | |
| Yamaha R-N803 one of the best values in high-end audio? @kren0006 - all good points. @mike_in_nc - I didn't like what the YPAO did. It just doesn’t sound as good as the Pure Direct feature and then tuning by ear. I messed around with ARC on an Anthem integrated at a dealer. The salesperson just kind o... | |
| Yamaha R-N803 one of the best values in high-end audio? Kren0006 - yep the Marantz is very similar. Main difference is it only has 60 watts and only one set of binding posts. Also no speaker correction. The retail price is a couple hundred more like you indicate. I assume everything works like it shoul... | |
| Yamaha Audio products from the past? vs. more current. I use a Yamaha R-N803 receiver. I’ve had lots of high end gear over the years. It’s very, very good. I’ve recommended it to a number of people. Check out my system page. Here is is an info link:https://www.crutchfield.com/S-7Mw4aUSrU1u/p_022RN803/... | |
| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System @millercarbon - great system and great thread! Totally agree that solid value components and tweaks are the way to go. I’ve owned MANY components over the years including a six figure Shindo based system. After much listening and experimenting, I ... | |
| Smooth sounding integrated The Yamaha R-N803 receiver is an excellent choice. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_022RN803/Yamaha-R-N803.html?awcr=77515597474161&awdv=t&awkw=Ya... | |
| Bybee Active Room Neutralizers @tonyjack - yeah was thinking about putting them on my Tektons. A friend recently put them on his Tekton ULF and thinks they are great. I think he only put them on the woofers and midbass drivers but not sure. I need to go over there and take a ... | |
| Bybee Active Room Neutralizers @tonyjack - where did you install the new Bybee Clarifiers - just on your speaker magnets? |
