| HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range Given the sound qualities you’re looking for I’m gonna supplant my prior Hegel recommendation for this Yammy. She’s right in your wheelhouse sonically, built like a tank, and looks awesome. That you can get it at a $1400 discount at accessories4... | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls I love me the Sapele - game, set, match. But I’d take’em in any finish I could get’em in my price range. | |
| Need HDMI Cable Input: Knowledge/Comparison Assist, Please This thread would probably be better served in the Home Theater area as here you’re as likely to get someone who uses HDMI for purely audio as not. That said, I’d hold DHLabs in high regard for both performance and value for either. FWIW. | |
| Power cable dilemma @holmz Heh heh. | |
| Power cable dilemma Who gives one great God damn if there’s been a “quantum leap” or not? If it’s better to your ears and in your system, who cares??? My question is, why do you feel you need numbers to tell you it’s better? I just want someone to publicly agree ... | |
| Preamp for Aragon 808 mk.2 amp What improvements are you looking for, and what sound characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for Harbeth 30.1 Your biggest problem, by far, is using your iMac as your digital source. Get yourself even something as simple as a $399 iFi Zen Stream and you’ll be much better off. Using your iMac as a source — no, just no. As for the integrated, Luxman, Cod... | |
| HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range I’d give this Hegel H100 available here a strong look. 120Wpc into 8 Ohms and doubles into 4 Ohms and utilizes their Sound Engine technology employed in their top amps. Here’s a nice review and the link to the ad here… https://www.audiogon.com/... | |
| Improve sound For that budget I’d upgrade the DAC, and for God’s sake lose the optical digital connection. Get these two things and I think you’ll realize a notable improvement. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096S6HBQY/ref=syn_sd_onsite_desktop_30?ie=UTF8&psc=1... | |
| Power cable dilemma If you can get off your high horse and find me some data to substantiate that claim I would be very appreciative. I can’t, but there are certainly meaningful difference so I’d suggest you get off your arse and try some that seem to have the sou... | |
| I love my analysis plus but... I can’t believe these $2k+ cables don’t even use a Teflon dielectric. Inexcusable IMHO. I’ll take my Acoustic Zen Double Barrel shotgun cables over these any day (and I did). I tried the Oval 8 in my system years ago and found it a bit dull and... | |
| What Could Cause Center Image To Present Lower than Expected Having the speakers 4” from the front wall is doing you no favors, especially with excellent speakers like yours that image/soundstage so well. The first thing I’d do is pull the speakers out at least a foot , and two feet even better, just to se... | |
| Legacy Audio Focus XD Hard to see going wrong with Legacy given what you’re looking for. Best of luck. | |
| Waxing nostalgic about those speakers that got away... So, I gotta repeat the same questions again… what’s your budget and what sound characteristics are most important to you in speaker performance By the way, this was a joke Sorry you didn’t apparently get it when I said please don’t write these... | |
| Power cable dilemma Pretty clear the OP should migrate to ASR or just be a total cable denier and just stick with generic PCs and no longer sure why he’s now wasting our time here. I would preferably like some empirical evidence from someone other than a manufactu... |
