| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I respect Ralph for so many things and count his incredible patience with kuribo here among them. But in my heart of hearts I wish he’d spend the time developing an even more affordable stereo version of these monos (hint hint) rather than using t... | |
| Integrated amp for Sonus Faber olympica nova 1 @twoleftears That’s clearly a female amp. If it was a male amp it’d have a volume control, source selector, and maybe a balance control. That the OP’s wife would hate that amp explains why women can’t live together — too much overly-complicated, i... | |
| Comparing external DAC to CD player DAC × Preview I have been using a well-known, inexpensive ($300), and well regarded DAC with an old MAC as a music server. Yuck That sucks I recently pulled out my old CD player, a Marantz CD-67se: an "oldie but a goodie". The CD player wi... | |
| CD Transport Question I have hundreds of CDs and am contemplating purchasing a single CD Transport. I wouldn’t do that. In this day and age IMHO you’re much better off buying a server where you can just load all your CDs into it, hook it up to your NAIM via its digi... | |
| Gustard R26 @whart Check out soundnews.net as he writes good reviews and I think reviewed them both. | |
| Tube preamp recommendations for Pass X260.8 monos i don’t mind a little bit of tube warmth, but I’d rather it lean more toward neutral than overdone. If I were you and you’re running a truly fully-balanced system I’d go with ether ARC or Atmasphere, or VAC if you don’t mind a touch of warmth. ... | |
| Tube preamp recommendations for Pass X260.8 monos Are you looking for a more neutral-sounding preamp or one that provides a bit of warmth, bloom, tube magic, etc.? | |
| Opinions before purchasing IME subs are instrumental to truly good home theater. Get a pair of SVS SB1000 Pro subs for $1150 — they’re relatively small, will get you down to 20Hz, and come with software that will make them easy to integrate and tune for your personal taste... | |
| Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza If I’m gonna spend a couple thousand dollars on some so-called hiend cables I’m gonna need a better explanation of what I’m getting. Why? Do you need someone to tell you what pizza tastes best to you too? Read reviews and user feedback and buy ... | |
| Integrated amp for Sonus Faber olympica nova 1 For looks and sound Pathos is a great choice. I’d look at an Octave V70SE cause it probably sound evens better if it meets with your wife’s standards. There’s also divorce, which is more expensive but has lots of other benefits. Just sayin’. | |
| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? @jabbaman I wouldn’t let a 3rd party app stop you. MConnect HD is only $5.99 and works pretty much as well as the Qobuz site. | |
| NY audio show 2022 @jeff4598 Heh heh. Good one. | |
| Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza Naples and other Italian places seem to make a decent pizza. And there are other countries that have decent pizzas. But I could see how NTC might be better than South Dakota or South Carolina. And I would not expect NYC to do BBQ like other... | |
| NY audio show 2022 @robert53 Doesn’t matter where you live. You still can’t comprehend the difference between what’s reported on the news and the crime RATE. Get a clue man. It’s simple math and you clearly don’t get it at all. | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra @bdp24 Thanks for that. I’ve always held Rhythmik subs in the highest regard but didn’t know they were being used by GT Audio. Interesting. |
