| My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions? The new Innuos Pulse Mini is a little over your price target but well worth exploring. Their Sense app is excellent and always being improved, and their customer service is also excellent if ever needed. Best of luck. | |
| Gustard R26 I am an engineer. I have run testing labs and worked for the federal government, military, nuclear energy....I am trained in testing and evaluation. I have heard what I need to hear. That’s great. Good for you. That has nothing to do with au... | |
| Help with hiss Wait. You’re using a Mac laptop as your streaming source??? That’s awful. Let’s do this — share your WHOLE system from soup to nuts and let’s attack this piece by piece. The more we know, the more we can possibly help. Now I’m thinking your s... | |
| Gustard R26 @calieng Well, if it just takes some time to let it burn in more, and it’s free, why rush to judgement? Several people here have posted they preferred the R26 to the A26 and I’ve never seen the reverse. Or maybe you’re just, different. Not that t... | |
| Help with hiss Damn! Does it still occur with listening at night? Maybe it’s possible something outside your house but in your electrical grid has changed. If it was me I’d try a balanced power conditioner (like Underwood Core Power or Equi=tech) or a power r... | |
| Gustard R26 @calieng It’s really not fair, nor rigorous, to assess the R26 basically right out of the box. Give it at least 100 - 200 hours before making any conclusions. | |
| Maybe buying a different amp Bryston and Mac are like apples and oranges. What amp have you been using, what improvements and sound characteristics are you looking for, what’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? The more info you give here the better recommend... | |
| Help with hiss Was it always this way or did it happen recently? Did you add any new appliances or light dimmers, etc. in the house or change anything else in your system? This is a head scratcher and any audiophile’s nightmare, so I hope someone here can help ... | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested Regarding Hungary, I've been there twice and the women are stunningly beautiful! It's bananas! I'd like to go back! Ha! I went to Budapest years ago and thought the same thing. Tall and gorgeous women everywhere. Who knew? And thanks for... | |
| Warmer class D amps for magnepan? Warm-sounding Class D amps in your price range is a tough ask. My first two recommendations would be the AGD Tempo or Atmasphere GaN amps, but even used they’d both be above your price target. You might consider used Bel Canto amps. While not “... | |
| odd question about stand-mount speakers I’d focus on monitors that are designed that way unless you can arrange an in-home trial of one where the tweeter was designed to operate above the midwoof. FWIW. | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested Glad to hear you’re happy with the QLNs but can’t say I’m surprised given their glowing reviews, and I think they look pretty cool too. I think the LTA will add just a hint of more upper octave transparency and detail and may be a perfect addition... | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... You’ve answered none of my questions. Good bye and good luck. | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... Budget? What sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ? @russbutton I was recommending a used pair of Perpective 2s at a bit over half MSRP so nowhere near $15k. Also I’m not into building my own speakers, and as a lot of the magic in JA speakers is the Infinite Slope crossover that is patented, I’m n... |
