| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? I’ve been considering several options. One is an NAD receiver and then adding on an NAD two channel power amp. That set up would be an NADT778 + an NAD C 275BEE. I would also need an NAD C268 to power one pair of the ceiling speakers as the NAD... | |
| What Could Cause Center Image To Present Lower than Expected Lost but not defeated Very well said! Put another way — YOU’RE LEARNING VERY VALUABLE INFORMATION!!! Yes, what you’re doing now is hard and often very frustrating, but keep fighting the fight and you’ll get there! Question - in a perfect wo... | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes Coincident Technology, Verity Audio, Reference 3a, most horn speakers, I could go on. Hell, even Joseph Audio speakers are potentially tube friendly given their easy phase angles and is why Jeff Joseph doesn’t readily disclose sensitivity specs b... | |
| All New Monitor Audio Concept-50 Time-Aligned Loudspeakers : Major-Breakthrough ?! Time-aligned speakers, breakthrough? No. Where have you been? | |
| All New Treehaus Audiolab Phantom Of Luxury Open-Baffle FIELD COIL Loudspeakers Review I think I heard these at the NYC audio show a couple months ago. I went in thinking these were a bit of a joke but came out thinking they were some of the best speakers I heard that day. I know nothing about them, but color me very impressed. | |
| Another cable question @ghdprentice asks many of the most important questions. What specific improvements are you looking for? | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? Seems like I could just use a stereo power amp and control the volume from the Receiver. NO!!! The only thing worse than an AVR’s amps is its preamp section, and a good preamp is absolutely crucial to getting good sound. That’s why I recommende... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? I almost feel like I need two systems. Absolutely no, you don’t. You can seamlessly integrate a HT system and solely-functioning 2-channel system in one and change between the two with the push of one button. All you do is hook the front 2 L/R... | |
| USB yet again @j_andrews My advice, especially since you’ve got an Iris, sell both your DACs and get a Musician Draco. Why? It’s got an i2S input that your Iris can provide to it. I’ve got an Iris feeding my Musician Pegasus into its i2S and the transformation ... | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... @tgilb I always thought of “Brothers in Arms” as the poster child for what was wrong with early digital recordings, but now as I’m using an R2R DAC I’m gonna pull that back out and see how it sounds now. Of course I can always stream it on Qobuz,... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @fsonicsmith Very interesting about the power cord thing, and what a classic pic of The Speaker Company!!! | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @soix - you cannot say that the board cannot be repaired by anyone. Do you do repair work yourself? Any product can be repaired unless the parts cannot be identified or there are no replacement parts available. That being said, you do not have... | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls @rsf507 I completely agree with your impressions of the Perspectives. But here’s the bigger thing — ain’t it a great feeling when you finally hear “The One” that really does it for you? It’s like an incredible feeling of both excitement and reli... | |
| Small frame subwoofer Take a look at the SVS SB1000 Pro. It’s a sealed basically 13” cube that’ll still get you down to an honest 20Hz (-3dB) and includes an integration software app so you can dial in the sub with your phone. The only problem is it’s only $599 so mi... | |
| Improve sound Ouch! So sorry to hear, but at least you now know there’s something specific to fix and hopefully move forward from there. 🤞🤞🤞. |
