| Speaker Cables : Moderate priced +1 @ghdprentice especially if you can run a long balanced interconnect — then it’s a no brainer unless you don’t have a remote I guess. | |
| Led Zep Fool in the Rain Just following up on @hifiguy42 mention of Rosanna — made me go back to listen to it and found this live version I thought might be worth sharing… https://youtu.be/S-CXfoveDFw?si=MaH1Zg0uHgb0hNuU BTW, can anyone think of a more stunning reinvent... | |
| Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System I was gonna recommend D-Sonic but you beat me to it. That’s definitely what I’d do. Best of luck. | |
| ATC SCM40 @lonemountain Great info. Thanks! | |
| Integrated amp w/decent headphone out under $5k With your headphones and speakers you might well do fine with an LTA MZ2 or MZ3. I’d do the MZ3 if I was you. | |
| DAC with i2S I own the Musician Pegasus that’s excellent and can be had for $1100. Here’s a good review… https://soundnews.net/sources/dacs/musician-audio-pegasus-r2r-dac-review/ For that price you could add their Pisces DDC for $520 so for $1620 total you’... | |
| ATC SCM40 @lonemountain I agree, the ATC dome mid is overall the most impressive midrange driver I’ve ever heard. Question for you — I’ve read the mid they use in the 40 is different from the one used in the 50 on up. Can you explain the design and perfor... | |
| UPS or surge protector/power conditioner? And if UPS, recommendations please under 1K I’d be concerned that a UPS isn’t optimized for audio. No evidence to back that up but would be a concern for me. Another option, you could get this highly-regarded Audience AR2p and plug two of these Wiremold power strips into it and have 16 ou... | |
| Looking for decent DAC with volume control The Bricasti M3 is an easy recommendation. I’d also recommend Bel Canto as I had a DAC3VB in my system and not only was the DAC excellent, especially with the virtual battery supply (VBS), but used as a preamp I couldn’t tell any difference betwee... | |
| Music Doesn't Get Better Than This. Nice tune. Embarrassed to say I’d never heard it, so thanks for sharing! | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision Someone above mentioned the yellow board was the old board so perhaps the brown board is the new one? | |
| Led Zep Fool in the Rain @rettrussell Very interesting and insightful — makes a lotta sense. Thanks for that! | |
| Looking for decent DAC with volume control Budget? New or used? What sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| Is more amp power always better...? Your speakers are not highly sensitive so going with higher power isn’t a problem, and the less hard an amp needs to work the better. In your case with your speakers and in your room I’d think anything 75Wpc+ should be fine, and I’d focus more on ... | |
| New Amp... Is it time to switch my speaker cables?? FYI, I got to compare Acoustic Zen Satori and Audience AU24 in my system and honestly couldn’t identify any difference. They’re the only ones that challenged my Satoris in 20 years. I go back to my prior recommendation. |
