| Flat Screen Television behind speakers Here’s another idea: a curved piece of clear plexiglass in front of the TV Soooo, a contact lens for the TV? Pretty sure my wife would prefer using a sheet. Very creative and interesting thought though! | |
| Best Amps for Magneplanar 1.7i Speakers Bryston is reputed to be a good match with Maggies, and this 4B-SST2 has ample power to drive your speakers… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649923203-bryston-4b-sst2/ Matching the Bryston with this excellent LTA ZOTL tube preamp I’d think wo... | |
| Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...? @rsf507 I’d try contacting one of their reputable dealers if JA isn’t responding. I’d start here… https://nowlistenhere.net/ | |
| Totem Forrest or Vandersteen 3A Sig? I would like greater upper extension and detail than the 2CE's provide I’ve heard the 3A Sigs and they’re great speakers but IME they’re not going to give you the upper level detail you’re seeking. The Forest would be a better option, and yes... | |
| Better music player alternative to Mac Air / laptop Congrats! Upgrading the power supply should get you a further increase in performance if desired. | |
| Recommendations for good sounding streamer I’d recommend the Zen Stream with the caveat that you should run it hardwired from either the router or a Wi-Fi extender as using it over Wi-Fi can have some frustrating connection issues. I’d also recommend getting one of iFi’s upgraded power su... | |
| Flat Screen Television behind speakers You can try these sliders from Herbie’s that’d allow you to easily slide your speakers out from the wall for serious listening and push them back after. They also are reported to have sonic benefits so might be a win win. Just a thought. | |
| Streamer matching to system I’d wait for a used Innuos Zen Mk3 to come up for sale. Excellent performance and customer support, and the newest Sense software upgrade is getting rave reviews. Naim? Why when Innuos focuses on optimizing streamer/servers? Get a used Zen Mk3 ... | |
| Coax to I2S You’re forgiven. Heh heh. Very easy mistake to make. Understand with the Leo/Hermes you’re also getting a much better clock than the Pisces/Iris and probably better than any transport you’ll get anywhere near the price of the Leo/Hermes. All I ... | |
| Amplifier Recommendation for Spendor D9.2 Speakers +1 @noromance take a look at Ralph’s new AtmaSphere GaN amp that may give you everything you’re looking for without the increased electric bill and/or added heat. | |
| Zavfino OCC SILVER DART 1.5 power cable This is an audio group where users discuss matters related to audio. Users here should be free to ask questions without being called "delusional," which is a form of mental illness. @cleeds Very well said. I think @jasonbourne52 is an ASR plant... | |
| Thought I’d share: Nicely done and practical DAC review Me too, but also check out reviews at www.soundnews.net — some of the best out there IMHO and he reviews lots of good, interesting stuff. That said, I thought Darko did a good job of explaining why product comparisons are so critical to creating a... | |
| Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp If it’s brass, it’s ass. +1 Maestro, Furutech, Porter Ports. Enjoy the Music did a shootout of several outlets years ago and Maestro did very well if I recall and was less expensive than other top outlets (Oyaide, etc.) so might be worth searchi... | |
| Im looking for the next upgrade. I'm not real sure which way I want to go Help! The Don Sachs pre I mentioned earlier is amazingly still available and actually dropped in price to $2250. Also there’s one in the cheaper metal case for only $1500. I’d take either of these over a PrimaLuna in a heartbeat, but that’s me. https:... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll I admit I’m more of a green, tree-hugger type, but I’m into audio for great sound and if it took a fire-breathing, Class-A monster to get the sound I love I wouldn’t think twice and would never say a word to anyone else who chose to go that route.... |
