| I Cried Today Thank you for posting this, and caring. It says a lot about the the person you are. God bless you both. | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city I was in Portland last summer, but most of the stores were still closed or only accepting appointments. A friend of mine just bought a pair of Wilson Sasha's and is selling his Maggie 3.7i's. I'm picking those up in CA next weekend and get to tr... | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city Well, I haven't been able to make my trip. Too much work and Covid issues stopping me. I've been doing a lot of reading and found a pair of Harbeth Hi5 plus XD and KEF Reference 1a with good pricing. According to what I've read, both are tube frie... | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city Sadly, none. I didn't get to Portland and my trip was canceled due to Covid. I will try again in a few months. I did add two REL s812's and love them. It's taken some time to figure out the crossover and volume, but I feel like I'm there now. ... | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city Sorry, I've been absent folks; I had a family thing come up and this is the first I've had time to log on. WOW! Lots of recommendations. I'm enjoying reading them all as I'm listening to Jewel's Greatest Hits album through Roon--love it! I hav... | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city Yup, I forgot my budget. Thinking $15-$20k. As to type, I'm open to suggestions. My daughter lives in Chicago close to Buena Park (near Wrigley Field), but I can go anywhere around Chicago. Steve | |
| Looking for a tube (or tube sounding) DAC Thanks everybody! I decided to order the Holo Audio Mat Dac. I'll let you know how it sounds in my system. I appreciate your advice!Steve | |
| Looking for a tube (or tube sounding) DAC Thanks for your suggestions. It's not the I don't like the Yggy, I have an itch to upgrade to a higher level and I love the sound of tubes.I think the Aquahifi DACs are out of my budget of $6,000, but they sure look nice! I'll check out the MHDT ... | |
| How old are you? 64 and still tweaking my system. Just spent $800 for new tubes. When I die and my son gets my stuff, I'll leave him a list of tweaks still to be done. It never ends.... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? I've had my PL Dialogue HP Integrated for a few years now and love it. It powers my Martin Logan Summit X speakers perfectly. A while ago I replaced the front four preamp tubes with Mullard CV-4003s and the difference from the PL tunes was notic... | |
| Warm romantic & detailed Take a look at MiniDSP options to adjust the sound curve. I have an SHD and it's awesome. Lots of options to adjust highs lows, midrange, etc. | |
| Help with DAC and Streamer suggestions Thanks, everybody! I decided to upgrade some of my cables and put my NUC into an Akasa fanless case. Thinking about a Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Manhattan DAC for MQA. Going to do more research on this. Thank you again! | |
| Help with DAC and Streamer suggestions I'm currently using Roon Core to my Bryston BDP-1, which is the Roon Endpoint. From there to the Yggy via BNC cable. I'm using a Lan cable from the Core to the Bryston. The Bryston is pretty old technology, but still nice. I see a few Lumin U1... | |
| Help with DAC and Streamer suggestions Thanks, kmmd2. This may be an embarrassing question from me, but are you saying that I'll get more resolution from the Yggy using a good quality USB cable than the RCA cables I'm currently using? So coming out of the Roon Rock Nuc direct to the ... | |
| Help with DAC and Streamer suggestions Perhaps there is another way of looking at this. If I have a Roon Core on a separate unit such as a Nuc or Nucleus, do I need a music server/streamer? What does that add to the sound as it moves from the Roon Core to the DAC? Or do I need the s... |
