| 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. | |
| Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think. Yeah, you and I have the same brain when it comes to computers. To me, it’s a black box containing a black hole of problems I can’t hope to understand — nor do I want to. In the end I would like the best streamer option I can get under say $25... | |
| Bel Canto opinions At a show I heard Joseph Audio Pulsars driven by Bel Canto electronics and it sounded fantastic. I think you’re gonna be very happy, but power conditioning is usually important to getting the most out of Class D amps so should be a consideration ... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? If you can’t get them closer than 7’ from the front wall your only option is to add your sub, and preferably two. It’ll probably also help a lot with your low-level listening. Best of luck. | |
| Power Cable Suggestions Needed I don’t have them sitting on anything special though. Just the wood stands I built for them. Now that I see this, I think you’d be better off investing in some good metal stands that can be filled with sand or lead shot. Stands can make a big ... |
