| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? I've been Tidaling for about a week now, both in my Hegel/Oppo/Acoustic Zen reference system and in my family room Sony/Elac system. It sounds much better than spotify in both and though it doesn't quite match my vinyl rig for sheer detail, I'm pe... | |
| Graham Slee Elevator into a Jolida JD9? @dill Thanks for the advice. I figured as much and I'll see what sounds I can get out of the combo. | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric With Esoteric, you're comparing dedicated audio disc players costing five figures with a universal/BDP player costing less than $2K. They both are highly lauded and have their places and you would be happy with either. In the end, how much do you ... | |
| Switch preamp? Ih, and my amp was an ARC VS-110, so all tubes can go well with stats and planars, if there's enough wattage and voltage. | |
| Switch preamp? I had Maggie 3.6Rs powered with a Blue Circle 2.1 pre. Absolutely golden. Check into blue circle. | |
| Switching to solid state amp? After a bunch of years of tube, I gulped and bought a Hegel H160. First solid state ever other than a few Rega that were place holders. I like it. A lot. My phono is still tube, but the sound is shimmery and clear. You our also may be interested i... | |
| I need help, please? Listening to my system through music! Hi @atmasphere . I've had an ARC VS-110, an LSA Statement (hybrid), and Rogue Audio Magnum M120 monos. I've loved them all but had to part with them over the years for reasons both financial and fickle. I've been curious about your amps, though; h... | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? Great! @willemj and @toddverrone: that's my next musical adventure. I love after long while being in a position where I can listen to the music rather than to my system. | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? So question: my Oppo 105 comes with Tidal streaming capabilities through its app on my iPhone. Would you recommend I try that or get a really good USB and use Spotify from my MacBook Pro into my Hegel 160 integrated? | |
| Oppo 105 and Hegel H160 DACs @nyc- great call. Thanks to all for the advice. I love peeps on this forum! | |
| Oppo 105 and Hegel H160 DACs @nycjlee -- I'm using the xlr outputs on the Oppo | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? So.......what's the next development in speakers? | |
| I need help, please? Listening to my system through music! So - an update:I went with a Hegel H160 integrated, my first completely solid state amplifier in years. It sounds wonderful; lives up to the reviews and mates well with the Adagios. The Triode simply didn't have enough power for them, though it wa... | |
| Help me solve a mystery I had a similar issue with a Sophia amp I had several years ago. It turned out to be on the inside of the amp where the RCA connection had become unsoldered from the terminus. I had been using pretty heavy gauge IC's and their weight was too much ... | |
| I need help, please? Listening to my system through music! Hey all,So, I sold my Triode Corp and was a bit sorry to see it go as it performed so well with more efficient speakers. But now I'm out an amp. I could return to the LSA, but what other 100wpc+ amps could you recommend (tube or SS)? My budget is ... |
