| Recommendation for Headphones What about mids, treble, warm versus more neutral, soundstage/imaging, etc.? What kind of music do you tend to listen to? The more info you give the more targeted and useful the recommendations will be. | |
| Looking at a used Nuprime IDA- 8 integrated. Nice! Hope it works out for you. | |
| Recommendation for Headphones You’re gonna get recommendations all over the place unless you share what sound characteristics are most important to you. Also, can you use open-back headphones that leak sound into the room or do you need closed-back so as not to bother others ... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? Digital is pretty easy, and comes naturally to me. @thyname I hate you. No offense. | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? When a iFi Zen Stream has far more issues with operation and glitches than a $79 WiiM Mini streamer I think it is incumbent upon iFi to FIX their product or stop selling it to unsuspecting customers and wait until they can come out with a "MK. 2"... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? That’s sad but expected at those bargain bin prices. That’s why it’s just as important to select a streamer / server that provides a good customer service support with a robust OS. @lalitk Point taken. Unfortunately budget largely dictated my ... | |
| Recommendations please! What improvements would you like to have over the AI (besides a remote), and what performance characteristics are most important to you? Also, you’re greatly limiting your choices by requiring an truly good onboard phono stage, so unless you’re e... | |
| B&W 705 Signature Feedback ? No, because it doesn’t employ JA’s Infinite Slope patented crossover that is so instrumental to their sound. That said, Usher pretty much matches JA speakers IME (albeit via different means) and offers extremely high value, look great, and they ev... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? Uh oh. | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? @baylinor Thanks a lot for the tip of uninstalling the app to get it to recognize the streamer again. I didn’t think of that, and all the suggestions I got involved rebooting everything starting with the router, but I’m traveling so that’s not an... | |
| Opinions before purchasing Don’t listen to the anti-sub club. The room size matters not — it’s all in how you set up the sub. A good sub makes all the difference in any room. Once you’ve got it dialed in you won’t want to listen without it. | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive I’ll say I’ve rarely seen such consistently glowing reviews from both customers and reviewers of a tweak product as I see with Townshend Podium, Platform, etc. One of the few products I’d buy with confidence that it’d make a significant positive ... | |
| Speakers To Replace Castle Edens If you haven’t been to Goodwins High End in Waltham you should go listen to some DeVore speakers. I think you might really dig their new O Baby speaker, but at $5700 they’re probably out of your price range but still really worth a listen. Here’s ... | |
| Looking at a used Nuprime IDA- 8 integrated. I think that’d be hard to beat for the price if buying new. The Bel Canto C6i is probably a big step up in performance but at almost $2800 it’s way up in price too. One other alternative would be to pick up a used Bel Canto C5i (the prior model) i... | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive Be aware that VTL’s customer service is legendary for being awful. Personally I’d never support a company that doesn’t support me, especially when there are so many other excellent alternatives. Just fyi and FWIW. |
