| Advice on Integrated Receiver Agreed that the Mani, although a fine product in its price point, is a low performer in your system (I have one that's gathering dust). Consider upgrading to a better, more versatile phono stage? For example, any of the the Musical Surroundings Ph... | |
| Passive speakers for desktop +1 for the LS3/5a | |
| Passive speakers for desktop Based on what several friends say who are studio engineers and audiophiles, Tannoy or Revels. | |
| Nobosound Springs An update. I only had 4 Nobsounds - which I put under my turntable. For my Reference 3A de Capo monitors, I used four classic brass isolation cones for each speaker (something like these) and those, coupled with the Nobsounds, really opened up the... | |
| Does dose anyone see these speakers in real? They look like the removed intestinal section after a partial colectomy. | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @coppy777 Good point. When I had my listening room downstairs (see my virtual system), I placed section of 2x4s beneath each leg of my loveseat. It made all the difference | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @tom_guyette it would be the latter. It's plush and upholstered which means I'm definitely, according to your observations, getting some absorption mids and highs. | |

| Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k +1 @Carlsbad. My Line Magnetic 518ia generated 22w and was a Stereophile Class a rec. More important, it was one of the best sounding tube amps I've ever heard. Try LM as well as Raven Audio products and Rogue. There're a host of good, tube produc... | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? Hi all! Cool. Let's recap: @audioman58 I did mention the brand - Reference 3A MM Gen 2. Stock tweeters; I have ceiling corner foam triangle baffles but am now considering some ceiling hanging foam frames @mbmi swivel chairs. Huh. Good point. ... | |
| Disappearing Jazz? I snap up David Kuhn Trio's LPs whenever they're available on AcousticSounds. Beautifully produced and holographic jazz trio circa 2004-2010. | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @holmz Ahhhh. Haven’t joined Audiogon and bukake in quite some time. Thanks for the reminder. So - the culprit was my wingback! The two wings and its low seating profile managed to smear the sound. On the advice from @elliottbnewcombjr I temporar... | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @paradisecom Reference 3a MM Gen 2. I've had iterations of reference 3as for many years. They are in phase and the tweeters are on the outside. @designsfx The speakers are 8.3 ft apart and my listening spot is 10 ft from both woofers. I do... | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @holmz no headrest, but it is a wingback. I wonder if that's an issue. | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? I have an Oppo 105 which I've enjoyed for years. Highly regarded and lauded. Then Iauded a Schiit Gungnir DAC, making the Oppo a transport and the sound just bloomed! Your Marantz first was produced in 2007, 15 years ago. You could probably stan... |
