| ATC buying advice I did end up at ATC because I want to hear the music as it’s intended to sound…I would say I aim more for ’warmer’ more musical experience than a clinically clear one. If that makes any sense? Great info. Given that the ATCs are basically a bla... | |
| Getting 2 subs I’d think if another SB4000 isn’t in the budget an SB3000 shouldn’t be too hard to seamlessly incorporate into the mix between placement and adjustments so I wouldn’t sweat it. | |
| Upgrading 5.1 home theater system I have a similar sized room to yours and is also open on two sides to other rooms. I’ve got an SVS SB2000 sub and it’s fully capable of shaking the room when called for, and I honestly don’t feel the need for anything more. The sub is sealed and i... | |
| New Speaker advice As you’re in the Philly area I highly recommend, if you haven’t already, going to David Lewis Audio and listen to some Joseph Audio and ProAc speakers. They both have excellent detail but don’t throw it at you and present it in a very natural way... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... In all seriousness, if I’m you I’d be looking seriously at the GaN amps from the likes of AGD and Atmasphere over either of the two you’re considering as they’d probably outperform both and are upgradable as technology improves. No brainer I’d th... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... This is like asking if you should get a Ferrari or a Bentley and I can’t even believe this question is being asked because they’re polar opposite amps. If you can’t decide which of these amps is more appropriate for your system and tastes I feel ... | |
| Acoustic Zen MC2 110 ohm? I’ve been using a 1m MC2 with RCAs and it sounds excellent in all respects, so if the 110 Ohm rating is impacting the sound I certainly don’t hear anything negative. I emailed AZ about this but never got a response, which was a bit disappointing. ... | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! @rgottschalk Thanks for the additional info, and nice system BTW! Unfortunately I got nuthin’ further to offer here but would be very interested in hearing thoughts of others with more streaming knowledge and experience here because I’m scratching... | |
| ATC buying advice Given the 100s may be too large for your space, I wouldn’t hesitate to go with the 50s and a pair of good subs (IMHO you’d still want subs with the 100s anyway as they only go down to the mid 30Hz range). The subs will help you better manage the ... | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! I use Roon. Roon bridge is a raspberry pi, Intel nuc is roon core in another room. DAC is a chord qutest. Been setup this way for sometime. I pickuped an Innuous Zen mini with separate PSU for a trial. Returned it after a weekend and told them no... | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! I’m on the “low end”; I stream from an iPad, which goes into an Audiobyte Black Drragon DAC. So, what does “jitter” sound like, if I may ask. @boltapuresource I started streaming from my iPad and thought it was fine, but adding even a budget i... | |
| any current integrated amps in market have great dacs? No, you’re just a pathetic snob hiding behind a keyboard , foolish enough to believe that putting an exotic name on a product and quadrupling its price will make it better than a cheaper identical product. @katman If you honestly think a $1500 ... | |
| any current integrated amps in market have great dacs? Idk if this counts but Denon better avr have good dac @katman Uh, no it doesn’t. What you’re proposing here is a $2500 AVR over a $5800 integrated stereo amp. No. Just…no. These two components are not in the same stratosphere and should nev... | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range Agree with @perkadin that if you’re looking for better low-level listening you’re better off with higher-sensitivity speakers, and they don’t need to be floorstanders. Speakers that are easier to drive tend to open up easier at lower volume level... | |
| Integrated Amp ideas for a very young audiophile Just saw this $199 streaming amp on another thread and thought it might be a good fit for your application… https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/vera-fi-audio-vera-link/ |
