| Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated This post is an absolute mess, and I have no idea how to respond to it. | |
| SST Son Of Ampzilla II vs Parasound A21 or A23+ i need balanced ins. Why? What’s your preamp? If it’s not fully balanced from input to output it makes no difference. Just curious. | |
| SST Son Of Ampzilla II vs Parasound A21 or A23+ Buy this. It’s as good or better than any of the others, but if you get the itch you can send it to SMcAudio and have them upgrade it into a truly SOTA amp for a very reasonable cost. https://www.ebay.com/itm/126242608801 Best of luck. | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 In my opinion if you are not listening to loud bass driven rock of some type, the addition of a subwoofer to a full range speaker will not make a big enough impact to justify the expense. I couldn’t disagree with this opinion more. This is t... | |
| Rhythmic F12SE setup using line in I would suggest doing one thing at a time. Sometimes adding port plugs can change the sound characteristics of the speakers, so I’d definitely try that last after everything else is dialed in. | |
| ARC amplifier with Conrad Johnson Preamp Finding a good deal shouldn’t override what sound characteristics you’re looking for. The CJ will likely have a much warmer/less detailed sound than your amp, so if that’s what you’re looking for it might be fine. Personally if you like the soun... | |
| Receiver for 702 S2 and HTM71 S2 What’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? Are you open to suggestions for other speakers? Also, what’s your priority between HT and 2-channel? Is 2-channel important? | |
| Rhythmic F12SE setup using line in Well, regardless of the online instructions it sounds like either your crossover is set too high or the volume is set too high, or both. So I’d first play with turning those two settings down first and see what that does, and then try altering the... | |
| Better DAC then DA1 module in McIntosh C49 without braking the bank. In comparison to my vinyl, CDs, files and streaming sounds flat and unremarkable. Not at all surprising given you’re using a computer as a streaming source and a sterile, budget DAC. You need both a new DAC and a dedicated streamer to reall... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging These used JA Prisms are definitely worth a look… https://tmraudio.com/speakers/bookshelf-speakers-monitors/joseph-audio-prism-bookshelf-speakers-black-pair-2/ | |
| Preamp for First Watt F7 Again, this totally depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for. | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 First and foremost, I’d recommend getting two subs instead of one. In your price range you can get a pair of SVS SB2000 Pro subs that’d likely sound great in your system. Best of luck. https://www.svsound.com/products/sb-2000-pro | |
| Just compared Monster M2.2 and ZU Mission speaker cables My test was in no way scientific. I hooked in one of the M2.2 on one speaker and compared to my ZU Mission cable on the other (ZU OMEN DEF-Luxman 595ase). I have to ask why you’d hook the speaker cables up this way? I’ve never even heard of s... | |
| Preamp for First Watt F7 What preamp are you using now, and what improvements/sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| What are your exact settings for volume and low pass filter on your SVS sub? First, if you haven’t already, use the “crawl method” to find the best location(s) for the sub(s) in your room for best bass… https://www.audioholics.com/home-theater-connection/crawling-for-bass-subwoofer-placement Then use this to fine tune you... |
