| power amp ideas for less than $3000 If I had your speakers I’d absolutely hop on these Clayton Audio M100 monoblocks as they are truly special amps that I think will synergize beautifully with your 803Ds. You can use them in low bias mode when idle and even for HT, but for serious 2... | |
| Upgradeitis Gotta love “the itch.” What specific improvements are you looking for, what’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? You know, yeah Clayton’s new endeavor may be a small shop with limited resources to answer calls etc. (especially after CAF), but the man obviously knows what he’s doing and feels he has something else to say that I find really intriguing given wh... | |
| Please Help Weed Them Out You suck!!! I paid about the same for Arya Stealths and although I’m very happy I know the HE1000s are next level so not surprised you’re blown away. Goodonya for being “open” minded, and enjoy!!! And thanks a lot for the follow up. | |
| Suggestions for Giant Killer rca coax digital cable under $500 used Sorry, can’t answer that unless they were just catering to your concerns about the 75 Ohm issue. Frankly, if AZ designed a 110 Ohm cable for an AES/EBU connection and stapled RCAs on it where they’re not true 75 Ohm I’m a bit miffed and disappoin... | |
| Suggestions for Giant Killer rca coax digital cable under $500 used I can just tell you what I heard, and I’m so happy with the results I care not about what Ohm my cable runs at as my ears are the final arbiter, and the reviews profoundly echo my findings. Like I said, buy used and you can try it yourself with l... | |
| Budget Amp for Sonus Faber Here ya go — well designed with plenty of power that’s under $1k and only 8.5”W x 12”D x 3”H, and as it’ll apparently sound like every other well-designed amp it should tick all your boxes. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325845276320 | |
| Receiver with subwoofer level buttons? If this is strictly for HT being managed and run by a mass-market AVR I would’ve saved the considerable $$$ and bought the SVS sub(s) with their handy app and just avoided the issue altogether. If this system is also for serious 2-channel listeni... | |
| Suggestions for Giant Killer rca coax digital cable under $500 used This is a digital signal so don't worry about silver in the mix. I think @carlsbad2 might be onto something here. When I substituted the MC2 for my budget but decent Apogee Wyde Eye the thought of it being silver never even entered my thoughts... | |
| power amp ideas for less than $3000 Assuming you’re still using the Rotel amp, what specific improvements and sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| She loves me she loves me not! I truly feel sorry for you. | |
| Suggestions for Giant Killer rca coax digital cable under $500 used I just upgraded to an AZ MC2 and couldn’t be happier. I also use 2 pairs of AZ Silver Refs and Satori Shotgun Bi-wire cables BTW, and IME there’s a lot of synergy between them all. Read the glowing reviews of the MC2 because they are not wrong. ... | |
| Many Questions Need Help This LTA MZ2 could well fit the bill. It’s a really great headphone amp and preamp, and it can drive speakers that are an easy load. Add their linear power supply later for a significant performance boost, or you can wait for one to pop up used ... | |
| i2s Cable for Denafrips Iris -> Pontus? Very interesting, and thanks for your thoughts! Of course now I gotta think more seriously about dropping some $ on a better HDMI cable, so no thanks for that. Enjoy! | |
| Streamer question All I really want is a better streamer and I'd like the option of using the Spotify app or the Qobuz app and not proprietary software, i.e., "Conductor." I use the Qobuz app, but from what I’ve read from others the Innuos Sense app is much bett... |
