| Best Buy Says Bye-Bye to DVDs Other than the staunchest videophiles, who spins DVDs anymore? I don’t think I’ve touched one in 10 years or so. I get it — in many cases they may well sound/look better, but most people don’t care and are perfectly fine with streamed video. Yes, ... | |
| upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty) Since you’re so enamored of your Dyns my first thought was why not just keep the magic alive and add a couple subs from the likes of Rhythmic, JL Labs, or REL? If your room is difficult this option might actually be better than trying to get more... | |
| Picking a speakers Ok. What’s your budget range for a preamp and amp, and would you buy new or used? Not at all familiar with your media player, but if it’s a low-budget player that’s something you’d really want to look at upgrading too because it’s also a critical ... | |
| Speaker Jumper Cables Revisited that is really surprising! I never would have thought to do that with fully bi-wired speaker set-ups. Yup — me nether. Coulda bowled me over with a feather. BTW, that’s really interesting about the new designer — I had no idea. That signif... | |
| Picking a speakers I wouldn’t take the Rotel over the McCormack, and the B&K is probably really old. Personally I’d go with the HT5. But, and this goes for the preamp too, it really comes down to what sound characteristics you’re looking for and which are most... | |
| Sopra No 2's or other alternatives? What sound characteristics are most important to you for speakers? | |
| Picking a speakers I’m using it 50/50 music and movies. Denon receiver and Denon 2 ch amp, that I want to replace for another 3 ch amp eventually. Very helpful info — thanks! Assuming your AVR has preamp outs as you’re already using a stereo amp, if I’m you I han... | |
| Speaker Jumper Cables Revisited Great post. Always thought highly of Wharfedale Diamonds, especially at their very reasonable price points, so nice to hear some confirmation of this. Thought I’d share my experience with jumpers that’s a bit of a different use case but made a ... | |
| Picking a speakers I’m familiar with the 804Ns and their bass capabilities are not much to write home about, and especially since you’re using a sub I think you’d be giving up more in sound quality than improving bass/dynamics. If you feel like upgrading the center... | |
| Ifi Zen Stream with Tidal Connect Frustration Thanks so much for the follow up, and I’ll have to revisit this now myself. Did iFi actually figure this out or did you figure it out some other way? Just curious cause they didn’t do squat for my very similar problem with Qobuz and mConnect+. Any... | |
| Speakers versus Balance vs Amplifier I’d first rule out you don’t have an equipment problem if you haven’t already done so. If you switch the speakers and the problem switches sides then there’s likely a speaker problem. Not sure if it works the same with electronics (maybe someone e... | |
| Picking a speakers Are you noticing a mismatch? If not and you’re happy I’d just stick with what you have. On paper there’s not a lotta difference between the HTM2 and 4S anyway. | |
| Advice on using a dac with my avr It’s ok. Some people are just slow learners but glad to see you finally might be getting it after the second go around — better late than never. | |
| How important are spikes? +1 @roxy54 I’m at the point where I’m just gonna ignore future emergingsoul threads — dude’s out of it and just way just out there, and where that is I have no idea and I don’t wanna know. Had enough of this nonsense. Peace out. | |
| Lyngdorf 3400 using external amp Honestly, I’d just contact Lyngdorf on this one and cut out the middleman (aka, us). They’ll probably answer your question completely and definitively in a few sentences. |
