What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers? As someone who moves around a lot, it it is simply easier to box up my monitors and safely transport them to my next location than a pair of 100 pound floor-standers are. They are also easier to keep clean and ding free.Consider also that those wh... | |
Anyone read Perfect Visions Review of LSA's? I'm trying to find a dealer in the San Diego/LA/Phoenix area to demo the Statements (both monitor and tower). I have the Statement integrated amp and assume I would get some good synergy between them. | |
Is my room doomed? Pic Does anyone know how to get more soundstage height?This is going to sound simple minded, but the best staging height I ever got was when I had a room with 14 foot ceilings. Now, you can't exactly go raising your ceiling unless you buy the place ab... | |
phono preamp I had the PS Audio GCPH in my system for about 3 years and was very happy with it. That said, I spent almost as much on cables for it as I did the unit itself - eventually settling on Nordost. While interconnect costs are inescapable, you can go b... | |
Class A headphone amp equal to Luxman SQ-38 Thanks for the options, Jax - I'll look into them. That said, I think what I liked about the Luxman integrated was it's class A tube design. Music just seemed to flow naturally out of it. I think the AKGs are a little on the intense side and this ... | |
great headphone amplification in vintage gear? I too have a MH25 and am want for something better. I recently auditioned the Luxman SQ-38u integrated and it was hands down the best "headphone" amp I've ever heard. Even though it didn't work with my speakers (ProAc) I was tempted to buy it anyw... | |
Integrated with Phono Stage under $10K Don't know about using the Copland as a pre - that depends on if it is set up with the jumpers and what not to do so. I do know I can use my LSA that way (either as a pre, or as just an amp) but can't find any specs on the Copland. | |
is Cullen Mod beyond my systems and my ability? Glad it worked out for you. I know I will probably keep my Sonos in play for some time even once the bridge is available for my PWD simply for the usability factor. As for Rick at Cullen, great guy and always ready to help you optimize your system. | |
Integrated with Phono Stage under $10K I had a chance to review the Luxman SQ-38u at home this last week-end. Just for posterity sake I thought I would post a few thoughts here since it was one of the contenders I looked at. First off - best headphone amp I've ever heard. Granted, I've... | |
Integrated with Phono Stage under $10K My first full week-end with the LSA Statement - I'm in love. I bought it here on the 'gone, so it's been mostly broken in. It does need a few minutes to warm up to full potential (10-20 minutes) but once it is, it just brings the room alive. First... | |
PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport I use a Cullen modified Sonos and a laptop with mine and it has been superb. The fact that you can choose native resolution or upsample (or downsample high res) plus the ability to rotate between filters allows you to tweak for your room a little ... | |
help me pick a DAC to go w/ Manley Stingray Agree with Rrog that your speaker choice is more germain to the sound you will get. You should also mention what characteristics you are after and what music styles you listen to (and what you like about it).That said, I ran a PS Audio DL3 with my... | |
ProAc fans? Buconero, you did or did not feel the D2 was better than the 1SC? Your phrasing makes it sound like you meant to say you "did not" feel they bettered the 1SC. Just making sure. | |
tube amp for ProAc Response.. need suggestions I use Nordost Blue Heaven - one of the silver based flat lines. The cables I have do bi-wiring, but I have no evidence that that improves things over the binding posts on the speakers. Nice and neutral - your going to hear your components more tha... | |
Integrated with Phono Stage under $10K And the winner is...The LSA Statement. Maybe a bit of an impulse buy, but I found a deal I couldn't pass up. I was already leaning towards the Signature so maybe it's just serendipity the Statement landed in my lap. I don't see myself having secon... |
