| Help needed to make system better, please What specifically do you mean by “thicker sound?” Do you mean something like greater tonal density in the mids or fuller bass, etc.? | |
| Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable You could bi-wire with these and they’re a screaming bargain and may help tame brightness a bit as well. Hurry, at this price they won’t last long. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650194860-acoustic-zen-satori-shotgun-biwired-speaker-cables/ ... | |
| Help needed to make system better, please Given the sensitivity of your speakers and the power of your amp it’s hard to fathom you lacking slam or dynamics. I would first try an LTA MicroZOTL preamp (they offer a trial period) to see if that gives you some added detail and meat on the bo... | |
| Speaker or amplifer In looking a little further I found these specs from the Sonetto v g2 Stereophile review… The Sonus faber loudspeaker's voltage sensitivity is specified as 89dB/2.83V/m; my B-weighted estimate was 88.6dB(B), which is within experimental error of... | |
| Getting started with Headphone system; what are the basics I know the LTA HA products are integrated but I wonder if I could go with separates to find a new role for my MicroZotl. I don’t understand this statement. Your LTA is an excellent headphone amp and you’d only need to add a source and headphone... | |
| Big Jazz Band Music with Great Sound Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band is a good one. | |
| Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable These speaker cables would be a big improvement over your Amazon cables for not all that much $$$, and if for some reason they don’t work out you could sell them for little/no loss. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650192681-acoustic-zen-sato... | |
| Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable What improvements are you looking for, what equipment and cables/interconnects are in your system now, what’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Sub repair or new sub? Here’s an SB2000 Pro for $400. I’d find this very tempting if I were you… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650194817-svs-sb-2000-pro/ | |
| Speaker or amplifer If you try the Hegel and you find you still prefer the overall sound of the Rogue the best thing to do would be to get two subwoofers that will improve bass, dynamics, as well as imaging and 3D soundstage. Best of luck. | |
| DAC and Amplifier Synergy? Your initial response to me as to what you’re looking for… I think that is part of the puzzle for me. Initially I thought I really liked a warm and relaxing sound. I set up my main system to accomplish just that. But now I’m realizing I might pr... | |
| DAC and Amplifier Synergy? Not necessarily looking for that system to be overly propulsive and energized. Rather, for that room, leaning towards some warmth is good. That is exactly the opposite of what you wrote in your response to me. That’s inconsiderate and this wa... | |
| DAC and Amplifier Synergy? But now I'm realizing I might prefer a more neutral and propulsive presentation... I would not think LS3/5a speakers would fit with this at all. Some excellent speakers off the top of my head in that price range that’d be much more inline wit... | |
| DAC and Amplifier Synergy? This all completely depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for. | |
| new Parasound A21+ vs my old Rotel RB-1080 Don’t listen to someone’s semi-educated guess—especially if they have never owned or auditioned this particular model of Rotel. Don’t listen to @lanx0003 who totally misses the point here. What he completely fails to realize is that the speaker... |
