| Definitive Tech home theater Question Yeah that doesn’t make any sense at all as your speakers have prodigious bass. Do you have the LFE input on the speaker connected to the Denon, and have you checked the volume level of the speaker’s built-in subs? Are the subs working and is the L... | |
| Emphasis on stereo but need a complete solution. Nicely done! I should have you audio shop for me. A wise man once said “yeah the waiting is the hardest part.” Do you have an additional interconnect to run from the Yammy’s preout to the Hegel’s HT bypass? | |
| Power cable suggestions for Pioneer turntable I also don’t think the power cord to your turntable is gonna do the trick. Looking at your system it’s hard to see it sounding bright. I’ve read the 2M Black can sound harsh if not set up optimally so that’s definitely something to check. If yo... | |
| Digital with same soundstage as analog @dogberry I answered in response to a post here. Where else would you suggest I answer it? Get over yourself and just deal with it. | |
| Emphasis on stereo but need a complete solution. Wow. Great find and congrats! Definitely consider the link I included above for the Yammy. Many people here have bought from them and they get high marks — great prices for basically new gear with full warranty is hard to beat, and you avoid the p... | |
| 15k for streamer and dac....how much on each? I think your focus should be on that the performance level of the streamer and DAC are on the same level and that their sonic characteristics are synergistic and provide what you’re looking for given your tastes and in the context of your system. ... | |
| Heavy speakers: How to be able to reposition? +1 Herbie’s Gliders. These get consistently high marks by users, which IME is relatively rare for “tweak” products. Plus they’re only like $150 for a set of eight, which is a pittance compared to other effective products out there, and I believe... | |
| Digital with same soundstage as analog I'm sure everything you say is true. But surely it does not belong in the analog forum? @dogberry The OP was asking if a DAC/streamer can soundstage on the level of vinyl, so where better to ask? This was an off shoot of that original questio... | |
| quest for speaker upgrade You’ve got a couple great contenders there IMO. I got to hear the Grand Avant Gardes at a show in NYC last year (unfortunately can’t recall the associated electronics), and they were outstanding and were in my top 3 at the (albeit relatively limi... | |
| Emphasis on stereo but need a complete solution. I was kind of hoping to keep the amp portion of stereo separate from the streaming/dac/preamp. Just because the digital stuff goes obsolete faster than amps. So then just get an integrated amp with no DAC/streaming capabilities and a separate ... | |
| Digital with same soundstage as analog The outcome of such experiences for myself and as a result of only experiencing a very limited range of dedicated streaming devices, is that Streaming is not a contender for a CD or Vinyl Source. @pindac I’m sure you heard what you heard, but t... | |
| Emphasis on stereo but need a complete solution. The RXV375 is useless in terms of what you’re trying to accomplish so I’d just cut bait and sell it to partially offset the cost of getting something that’ll actually work for you. If I’m you I’d take a good look at this highly regarded Hegel H19... | |

| Going Tubing Here’s a nice Linear Tube Audio MZ2 with their linear power supply upgrade that’s an excellent preamp (read the reviews) and that’s well within your budget, and as a bonus it’s also an outstanding headphone amplifier if you swing that way or might... |
