| Who is using a desktop headphone rig? The Schiit Asgard is your best bet if you’re looking for something a little on the warm side. https://www.schiit.com/products/asgard | |
| Please help with setting up a streaming system @krelldreams Bluetooth sucks and completely undermined your Qobuz experience. Just get a decent Wi-Fi extender from TP-Link, etc. and run a short Ethernet or CAT7 cable from it to your streamer, do another Qobuz trial, and you’ll really hear what... | |
| ZEN Mini S vs. Small Green Computer Sonic Transporter i5 music server/Ultra Rendu Streamer I am not a DIY type and prefer an out of the box solution. I think you’ve answered your own question. Rather than mess with an external drive, ripping programs, etc. just go with Innuos. All in one box, very high quality, great customer suppo... | |
| Musical Fidelity or Michi for B&W 702 So, what sound characteristics are most important to you and looking for with the new amp? This info is critical to getting meaningful and useful recommendations. | |
| More Bass Buy a couple SVS SB1000 Pro subs that’ll undoubtedly augment your bass and other areas ass @blisshifi mentioned. They’re only $1150 for a pair and offer integration software that’ll make life a lot easier, and at only 13” square they offer a real... | |
| Please help with setting up a streaming system I, and I assume many others here, would LOVE to hear your impressions of any differences you hear between running direct from your router and using the extender. This would be MOST VALUABLE information as so few people here have done both. Thank... | |
| Musical Fidelity or Michi for B&W 702 What amp do you have now, and what improvements/sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with Rel 212se Subwoofer A used pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars are well within your budget and are all-around outstanding speakers that’ll let you cross over your sub at a lower frequency than many other monitors. Fritz speakers also worth a look. Best of luck. | |
| More Bass I’m confused as to whether you’re still limited to 12” subs? If not, a pair of 13” SVS SB1000 Pro subs will definitely up your bass performance and include integration software all for $1100 with a 45-day, risk-free trial including shipping both ... | |
| Recommendations for the best headphones with equalization after severe acoustic injury Can you give more specifics under which topic/headline your tinnitus response can be found? Not easy to do without more info and I’d love to read it as I have a band mate who’s suffering from pretty severe tinnitus. Thanks! I’ll just also add, I ... | |
| Herron or ? If you can wait for a new one to be built or can find a used Don Sachs preamp, just go for it — and it does use your desired 6sn7 tubes. I don’t think the LTA will give you what you’re looking for. http://www.dsachsconsulting.com/ | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE What’s your budget? Jay’s makes one of the best, and ProJect also makes a great transport. Both are next-level transports and will likely make significant improvements, but they’re pricey. Best of luck. | |
| Herron or ? They’re obviously both great and doubt you could possibly be unhappy with either. I’ll just say Herron is no longer in business, which may be a consideration for down the road in terms of repairs. Best of luck. | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) Draw your own conclusions. But I know of a guy who used to work in the same office who had a sign on his desk "The Buck Stops Here." @carlsbad Wow, that’s one impressive economic argument and exactly the depth I expected. No need to stomp tha... | |
| Cable upgrade Am I thinking correctly here? Yes you are, because you’re using your own ears, your own tastes, and your own system. Keep going with that. Higher price doesn’t always mean a better fit. Sometimes less is more, especially with cables. I’m j... |
