Streaming Leads to Brain Rot Some nitwit trying to get attention by saying something controversial. @ghdprentice Bingo!!! My sentiments exactly. | |
Need input on new speakers @immatthewj I agree with you. Personally I wouldn’t use a low-powered tube amp with these speakers even though you could. The amp will be pushed fairly hard, which is never optimal for it to perform at its best. Better to use a more powerful tube... | |
Need input on new speakers What I found interesting (bearing in mind that I make no claims to have a real good handle on this stuff) is that a sensitivity of 86 does not seem like a real easy or "friendly" load for a low powered amp to drive...I assume that what makes the ... | |
Kubala-Sosna Imagination? There aren’t any reviews of the Imagination that I could find, and I’m not sure I’d expect much from a bottom-tier interconnect at $300 MSRP (and that’s with dealer markup!) even if it is from K-S as it incorporates very little if any of the mater... | |
Streaming Leads to Brain Rot Streaming Qobuz almost does seem too good to be true — it’s awesome! Rather than being overwhelmed or dumbed down to music as the article implies, I find incredible new music across many genres on a daily basis I would’ve likely never otherwise he... | |
Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? This Van Alstine amp is worth a look, and they offer a 30-day trial period. Best of luck. https://avahifi.com/products/dva-set-500-stereo-power-amplifier | |
Need input on new speakers Just realized I didn’t provide the link for the Joseph Audio speakers I recommended above. Duh. https://www.ebay.com/itm/176697757735 | |
Received my Denafrips Venus 15th My advice would be to switch to Qobuz — IME the sound is much better and you can do a free trial. And going with Innuos is a great choice not only for sound quality but also for their outstanding Sense app that will make you miss the Wiim not one... | |
Short List of speaker Upgrade Well you certainly have some good choices. I’m unfamiliar with Triangle, but they have a good rep and I believe are usually relatively easy to drive. I’ve heard other models from ProAc and Totem and was very impressed by both. The Totems throw ... | |
Upgrade Path from Martin Logan 11A Impressions hybrid loudspeaker I’d definitely add the Joseph Audio Perspective 2 to that list. And the Usher ML-802 is worthy of a look too. Best of luck. | |
Received my Denafrips Venus 15th The Venus 15th is extremely smooth. Notsure if it would change the sound but It maybe a time for a DDC if I2S will bring a little more from the combination. Maybe a better streamer as I am using a Wiim Pro. It would be hard to give up the ease o... | |
Help for me, money for you. Call Bryston. They’ve got great customer service/support and may pinpoint the issue quickly and save you a lotta time and hassle. That’s what I’d do. Best of luck. | |
budget AES/EBU? I upgraded from a good budget cable to the Acoustic Zen MC2 and it blew me away with the improvement it provided. Read the universally glowing reviews. Worth paying up a little for if you have to IMHO. This seller apparently has an AES/EBU cabl... | |
Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? What’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? Does it need to to be balanced? | |
Neutral preamplifier recommendation $1K new Not all amps pair well with passive preamps, so if you’re considering that make sure your amp is compatible first. |
