| Integrated or speakers Tough call really because the two go hand in hand to create the sound you want. If you know you will eventually upgrade both, I would decide based on an anticipated pairing of the two - or at least an approach (class A, 300B tubed, Manley house so... | |
| Is sooloos worth the money? Choi - my knock on the Sooloos is that you have to add the DAC, which makes it little more than a mission specific computer. Yes, it's fast, fluid, and a great user experience, but the sonics are all wrapped up in the DAC you choose and have littl... | |
| perfectwave combo or..? MBL + Bryston setup I think it depends on your media. A lot of network streamers will do file based, but it sounds like you still have a lot of CDs. Do you play SACD/DVDA too? If so (and you have the money), consider the MSB Universal Media Transport and one of their... | |
| Using a PS Audio Perfectwave Dac as a music server I use the exact same setup as Kana. 1TB HD ($100), Netgear wireless Router ($150), iPod ($100 on ebay). I do use a CAT-6 cable because my run is almost 100 feet from router to DAC, but it works great.You have to have WiFi for the iPod to communica... | |
| Is sooloos worth the money? If you think the interface is the greatest thing since sliced bread and will use it for years and years to come, then...maybe. Sooloos' advantage was being first out with a great user interface, but there are half a dozen (and growing) solutions o... | |
| Using an External Hard Drive as a Music Server The correct approach is to put the hard drive in the closet with your network gear - away from your components and listening area. You can then stream the files (either via WiFi or Ethernet, depending on your hardware choice) to your listening are... | |
| Naim UnitiQute - who's heard one? I actually have the PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC with bridge in my main system, so I'm pretty familiar with the technology. The n-stream controller looks nice and seems to solve that problem nicely. I have an older pair of Paradigm mini monitors I ca... | |
| LSA Statements sound like. . . .?? Jonstine - I recently moved to Phoenix, so I'm a bit far for a listening session. Too bad, I really would have loved to pair things up and give them a listen. I will say the LSA amps are worth your consideration, it is by far the best amp I've eve... | |
| Wilson Benesch ACT I think these comments really do prove the adage that you have to listen for yourself. Where I found them a bit sterile and sharp even on tube amps (Manley snappers, ARC VSi 60), Classicjazz found them warm with solid state. Maybe his use of class... | |
| Help a confused newbie build his first setup... A question, what do you love about music? If you can figure out how to quantify this, that will go a long way to helping you choose a path. I don't know what kind of music you play, but it likely has an influence in this. I'm a drummer myself and ... | |
| Wilson Benesch ACT I have heard them a couple times at my local dealer (who loves them and wants me to like them too), but I find them unlistenable for more than a few minutes. By my estimation, it did sound flat through the midrange (and higher), but that is what I... | |
| LSA audio or AYON for Acoustic Zen Crescendos I have only heard the Ayon Triton once at a dealer so I can't comment there, but I do own an LSA Statement. The LSA is a hybrid amp, so you are essentially getting a tubed stage and a solid state amp. The LSA follows a design principle that says "... | |
| Which cost more: your system or your car? System, music, and car each cost me about the same. System by far is holding value best. | |
| LSA Statements sound like. . . .?? I'm actually interested in the tower speakers - the LSA2 Statements - specifically because I don't want to mess with a sub. Though I'm assuming the mid and upper frequency voicing is more or less the same between them, so insights on the LSA1 are ... | |
| LSA Statements sound like. . . .?? Anybody? Seriously, any kind of comparison to something I might know would help. |
