| Recommendation for amp Flyby alert!!! OP MIA since initial post, so probably not worth wasting time responding. | |
| Multichannel power amplifers VS 2 channel power amplifiers There’s not nearly enough info here to make any useful recommendation. Is the priority stereo or HT, how many channels, what speakers, how big is the room, etc. Not knowing any of this critical info, here’s one option that might be interesting, a... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers Just take delivery and you'll figure out how to set up. They are speakers, not something complicated like running a retail audio chain. Not true. Wilsons are notorious for the effort/expertise required to set up properly for best performance.... | |
| Magico A5 or KEF blade 2? Neither. In that price range Usher has some outstanding but relatively unsung high-value speakers like the TD20 and TD10. Not only do they probably sound as good or better than the Magico or KEF, they’ll look much better doing it. Also not too ha... | |
| Lavri Cables @devilboy TWL is great stuff and not surprised you’re really happy. I’ve since received my other Lavry cables and am likewise very happy with the improvements over stock cables as well as with their look and build quality. Despite being silver the... | |
| Magico A5 or KEF blade 2? What sound characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Most effective way to add room correction? Maybe DSpeaker... http://www.dspeaker.com/en/products/20-dual-core.shtml | |
| DAC? how much more $$$ to get a significant improvement over Bluesound Node? I’d think even something like a Gustard X16 at $499 would be a significant upgrade, but you can certainly find further improvements from there depending on what characteristics you’re looking for. | |
| Tidal holiday trial offer Not interested! I wouldn’t subscribe to Tidal again even at 2 bucks per month forever. User interface sucked, and the MQA BS is a total sham that limits your choice of DACs and hamstrings manufacturers to include it for no reason other than drivin... | |
| Need help understanding USB cables Yeah, I also read that a USB cable that separates the two signals is best, which makes sense. Some of them can be a bit pricey. Ultimately I went with the LavryCable Ultimate Silver Dual USB cable that seems well made and obviously uses silver, ... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Maybe Tidal entry-level monitors? | |
| CDP or Transport and DAC? Recomendations? Definitely a separate transport/DAC. I’d ditch the Node and replace it with an Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer/server that will sound much better and also let you load all your CDs into it so basically becomes your transport as well. Add a Musician Pega... | |
| Cambridge dac? I’d go with the Gustard X16 over the Cambridge. It also offers a remote if that matters — not sure if the 200M has one. Best of luck. | |
| DAC Upgrade Sell and get a Musician Pegasus. Schiit may be made here, but where do you think most of the components with which it’s made come from? It’s a global world, and while I like buying American as much as anyone, ya gotta ask yourself how “American”... | |
| HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES News Flash! EVERYTHING MATTERS!!! Even 6” of wire. I have shotgun bi-wire spade cables and I STILL use banana jumpers, and it’s one of the best tweaks I’ve found and won’t listen without the jumpers. It’s crazy at a certain level how EVERYTHING ma... |
