| Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good??? Great speakers to be sure, although I seem to remember reading a review that said the lVa was a significant improvement, I think maybe in bass? Could be wrong. As someone who owns speakers from a defunct company, I don’t recommend it — it’s like... | |
| Hegel H590 with BW 800D Completely depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for. Without that info, this post is useless and you’re just gonna get individual opinions that may have nothing to do with your own. Just sayin’. | |
| whats the best pre amp to pair with Bryston 4b cubed? A Noting people arent convinced a Brtyston is markedly better than current arcama49 a vacuum tube preamp is on the list -I can put the arcam into bypass mode in that case. No. Just..,no. Nobody said the preamp section of your Arcam is better t... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer When I worked at Magnolia they always had the KEF Blades paired with Mac electronics. To me, when playing my reference recordings, it was like throwing a blanket over the speakers. Blech! Not my taste and not a good pairing IMHO. I guess if yo... | |
| Speaker pairings for Sprout 100 for music listening in medium sized room LSA-20 Signatures. Game. Set. Match. He won’t do better. | |
| CD Player or Transport I find this kind of sad. You bought the SIM with the goal of preserving space but still need a transport. IMHO, you should’ve bought an Innuos Zen server/streamer you could’ve loaded all your CDs into and also had a top-level streamer, and you c... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming @tksteingraber I’d think installing the fiber stuff after the MacBook would be more effective. Second, the Jitterbug is not a DAC — it just reduces jitter and, frankly, it sucks. It ruined the sound coupling it with my Dragonfly Red, and speaking ... | |
| CD transports I wonder if I would achieve further improvement in sound quality if I traded in the Luxman and bought a dedicated CD transport ( price range 3-4 K ). No. Keep your Luxman as a transport til it dies. Take that money and buy an Innuos Zen Mk3 ser... | |
| Question about Class A You might want to look at some of the newer GaN amps. Those from LSA, AGD, and the upcoming amp from Atmasphere seem to embody a lot of the benefits of Class A amps without the absurd electricity penalty. When Atmasphere is embracing and produci... | |
| whats the best pre amp to pair with Bryston 4b cubed? A The cubed series seems to have thickened the house sound of the Bryston line to add more tone and heft to the sound versus earlier versions. I will just say this — I bought a Bryston BP6 because it was supremely transparent and provided the most ... | |
| Contenders are here I lust after a pair of Nola KO2s. Nola speakers just seem to get priced through the stratosphere as they go to version 3 or Gold, etc. Not saying they’re not worth it, but Jeez! | |
| Wireless vs. Ethernet for Streaming Question: is going hardwired from a mesh extender somehow better than using WiFi through an iPad/iPhone? | |
| How important is it that all cables come from the same manufacturer? If there’s a manufacturer who seems plugged into ur brain, go for it. But, I think once you trust your own ears it’s perfectly fine to mix n match. It all comes down to personal preference and system synergy. That takes experimentation and and tri... | |
| Bel Canto opinions should I plug it into my Furman PST8 or directly into the wall outlet? Well, obviously it’s easy to try it both ways and just follow your ears, but I’d be surprised if it doesn’t sound better plugged into the Furman. This a very different anima... | |
| Wireless vs. Ethernet for Streaming @dbphd I’d be very interested to hear your thoughts after going hard wired. |
