| Speaker for ambient music in large room with vaulted ceilings? Budget? | |
| Upgrade advice (dac, streamer, other)? I found the DAC3VB with VBS power supply to be a significant upgrade over the basic DAC3. Not sure how it compares to newer DACs today but it sounded damn good when I had it on demo in my system. Streamers also matter, so maybe something like a ... | |
| Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story? As usual, @jjss49 is plugged into my brain so I’ll just echo his thoughts. Read the AGD reviews, and they’ve recently launched a stereo version that’d be worth a good look. The only other thought I have is there are some very good Class-A amp ma... | |
| Upgrade path from Paradigm Studio Reference V3 Dude, ur doing the right thing, and I’m telling you you’ll be blown away — literally. Remember the old Maxell ad from the 80s with the guy being blown back in his chair by his speakers? Shoulda been an ATC speaker ad IMO because SO true and appr... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? @jerryg123 — I’d rethink that sub decision. Huge fan of ur speaks and ur hawks logo BTW. Lived in Chicago for a bit and sadly didn’t get to see them play in the old arena — one of my biggest sports regrets. Anyhoo, I was listening to an ultra mega... | |
| Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server? Especially a digital cable. As long as the cable passes bits it doesn’t matter...Theoretically, all DACs should output the same, with noise, including jitter, being below audible thresholds. And I think ASR’s measurements continually prove that. ... | |
| Revel Ultima Salon opinions As an owner of speakers no longer produced, it’s no fun walking on eggshells fretting about blowing a driver someday. IMHO, as good as the Salons are, there are tons of great speakers out there so don’t put yourself through the stress. For a sim... | |
| HT Sound quality - best processors and/or combined with preamp? Not sure I understand OP's question Yeah, nobody does. After reading many of the OP’s prior posts and resisting replying to them after the first couple, I’ve come to the conclusion he’s mentally unstable and not worth anyone’s time. Sorry to ... | |
| Best sounding processor What the hell are you talking about? | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? Well, this doesn’t have anything to do with law but rather experience in audio. I stand by mine. What’s yours? | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? Just say "I don’t agree with that particular opinion and here’s why" Uh, that’s exactly what I did when I said I’d take two good but lesser subs over one “better” sub that you seemed to agree with. If you don’t like SVS subs that’s fine, but yo... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? but with the rest of your system you really owe it to yourself to step up to a better pair. But @shooter41, i didn’t ask for your “advice” such as it is. I just responded with an informed response and you’re defensive and offended despite agree... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? @shooter41 I didn’t ask. You offered and I responded in kind. Not royalty, just someone with some experience. Your move chief. | |
| DAC Reviews - Headphones v Speakers To make things even more complicated, because why not, what do folks think of listener impressions of a DAC used on a headphone system, when you intend to use the DAC in a traditional two-channel speaker system? No. Just...no. Do NOT take an ex... | |
| $2k-$3k DAC Purchase If you find a used Mojo Audio Mystique v3 in your price range it might be your answer. Best of luck. |
