| Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina Thanks moto man, yes even in my room the key to best sound especially tight and taut bass, is side wall distance. Currently I have them at 22 inches. If moved in to 36" they sound superb. Unfortunately my room is not 100% dedicated to music, it al... | |
| Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina @barry2013, thanks, I will look into Carmel2. Very difficult to find used in India, and if one imports the cost of shipment plus customs will make it close to new. Cheers, Sid | |
| Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina Let me clarify a bit as to what I am looking for. Currently I have no issue with room nodes with my Wilson Sabrina. With the eq. on my Luxman preamp and adequate treatment with GIK 244 panels (and an Indian brand of tri traps type bass trap placed... | |
| Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. The rear corners of the room have 244 panels diagonally across with an air gap. Yes the front have panels against the walls, but as remarked above not much room available and the front corners I cannot place a... | |
| Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina https://www.audiogon.com/systems/4761#&gid=1&pid=1 This is my current system pic. Cheers, Sid | |
| Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina Thank you all. Regarding the posts recommending bass traps, I have 6 x 244 gik traps, plus two evolution polyfusors which also help as bass traps and also some corner traps at the ceiling. Yes all of these help and having the speakers pulled out ... | |
| Preamp Upgrade I picked up a Rhumba 1.3 recently. Really love what the Rhumba is doing in my system. The bass is well extended and there is a lush midrange coupled with smooth extended highs along with a wide and deep soundstage. I have been through many pre-a... | |
| Top CD transports vs USB converter shootout Ok, mainly based on the excellent write up by Eleberoth2, I ordered the M2tech Evo psu and clock. Undoubtedly my system performace has taken a leap forward. Through my Ayon Skylla II dac, FLAC & WAV's are now sounding superior to CD playback f... | |
| Top CD transports vs USB converter shootout Thanks Greg, yes I read the other review where the triple stack of m2 tech boxes was rated 100. Consequently I have decided to stick with M2 tech, as I have the same limitations as yourself in trying to compare the many converters available in the... | |
| Top CD transports vs USB converter shootout I am currently using the m2tech hi-face evo. Was considering the off-ramp. What is your opinion on the off-ramp vs the BADA Alpha USB.Cheers,Sid | |
| Playback designs MPD-3 vs Ayon Skylla Thank you Doggiehowser & Melbguy1. @Doggiehowser, I believe that the SkyllaII has an analog volume control, however I have a Lamm ll2.1 deluxe pre, so unless, in the unlikely event that the skylla beats the lamm in SQ, I will continue using th... | |
| Playback designs MPD-3 vs Ayon Skylla I have decided on the Skylla II. This will be the third Ayon source I will own in the past 3 years, having owned the Cd1s,2s and now the skylla. Hopefully this will be my last upgrade for a bit where the source is concerned.Cheers,Sid | |
| Ayon Skylla II vs Lampizator 4 or 5 I am considering the Skylla II as an upgrade from the Ayon Cd2s. I have not the heard Lamp., so cannot answer the OP's question but FWIW I compared the Cd2s to the highly regarded Prism Orpheus Pro DAC and to me the Cd2s DAC was better. So now I a... | |
| Playback designs MPD-3 vs Ayon Skylla Thanks a lot Bill. My majority usage will be PCM, not even sure where to get DSD, and not sure that I can rip my SACD's (read some methods of doing this using a Sony ps2 but not very clear about it - I have about 25 sacds) so I will have to consid... | |
| Comparing ARC, Lamm and Modwright Preamps I may be late by couple of years but wanted to post my observations regardless.I have had a modwright 9.0se (with the tube power supply upgrade), ARC LS26 and now the Lamm ll2.1. Unquestionably the Lamm is the best of the three. It has significant... |
