| Funny thing happened on the way to Google I got the same result using Google Lens to try to identify my cat’s scratching post. | |
| What headphone and amplifier for classical enthusiast As alluded to in previous posts, just as with traditional systems so much of this comes down to personal tastes/preferences and system synergy. I’ll just throw out there that with classical music I prefer an open-backed headphone as it provides m... | |
| McCormack Power Drive DNA-2 Deluxe for Maggie LRS? Check with Steve on the input board of the DNA-2 to see if it has the same failure issue as with the DNA-0.5. In case you’re not aware, once the input board fails it’s not repairable, which is why you should check on this and be aware your 0.5’s ... | |
| Looking for a good amp and speaker combo Ok, here’s what I’d do. @fuzztone is right that the preamp section of the Denon will compromise your stereo performance so adding an amp will only get you so far. Because this is mainly an HT setup, rather than getting into separates I’d go for a ... | |
| Need help buying new speaker cable Here’s a pair of Acoustic Zen Satoris for only $449 that should be more than fine and save you some $$$...https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649776658-one-8-pair-acoustic-zen-satori-speaker-cables-spade-to-spade/ | |
| Looking for a good amp and speaker combo Budget? Is stereo important or is this primarily a HT system? | |
| Best Way to Upgrade Digital Sell the Node and buy a Vault and just load all your CDs into that. Then, when you can, upgrade your DAC and you should be in good shape. Best of luck. | |
| My first streamer- what spidf cable to use? I prefer my Apogee Wyde Eye to my Stereovox XV2. The XV2 is a bit too hyper detailed while the Apogee has all the detail but with a smoother and more natural sound. And a 1.5m length will only set you back 55 bucks...https://smile.amazon.com/Gei... | |
| I agree with the comments that Zach at ZMF Headphones is the “Rock Star” of the HP world! I had tried several others and the Aeolus just sounded right.Man, that’s the key with finding any audio component. Lots of things sound good or even really good, but when you find the one that just sounds “right” to you it’s a truly great and incr... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Great. One important tip — the Wyde Eye is directional so pay attention to the directional arrows printed on the outer jacket as they are small and can be hard to see. I installed mine backwards once and it was an unpleasant experience until I f... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Congrats on the Ares ll — I’m sure you’ll notice quite an improvement in transparency, soundstage, detail, etc. Just make sure you get a decent digital cable or it can undermine your performance. The Apogee Wyde Eye I recommended earlier is a soli... | |
| Headphone Amp As long as the MZ2 has enough juice to drive them, I’d look to upgrade your DAC looooong before I’d switch that amp, but that’s me. Probably better to post this in the “Headphones” section as well. FWIW, and best of luck with the new ‘phones. | |
| Bowers and Wilkins Nautilus 804 vs 804s I'm listening mostly to house and hip-hop music and I appreciate a little more bassIMHO you’re looking at the wrong speakers. Share your budget and you’ll get several recommendations for speakers that better fit that genre. Again, just my opinio... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? As far as streaming, even so it may be the way things are heading now, it isn’t for me...One thing that would be helpful to me is having bluetooth since I use youtube on my cell to check out bands I may be interested in. So hearing them through my... | |
| Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith Wolf Audio servers are reputed to be very good and worth a look, but you’d still need a streamer that I’d defer to the recommendations above. I will say it seems odd that you’re having such an issue with the Zenith. Have you checked the quality ... |
