| Connecting Bluesound Node 2i to Anthem receiver The Wyde Eye is a great place to start. I’ve compared it to more expensive interconnects and it is still in my system, and John Atkinson actually used it as his reference digital cable for a while — not that that means much, but it speaks to the ... | |
| Opinions on the Nola Contender please wouldn't adding two highly regarded subs bring them to the same full range sound as the floorstanders under consideration. Or is it about the crossover and coherence of the sound coming from a transducer housed in the same cabinet? This is only my... | |
| Top down or bottom up? Just asking... some of their wealthy clients wouldn't buy a $20K table because it is too cheap!That’s because it’s a luxury good. The demand curve is upward sloping for luxury goods unlike practically everything else, and it’s also why I stated earlier that MA ... | |
| Newbie HiFi Headphone & Amp pairing suggestions If you’re looking for a warmer, fuller sound the RME DAC isn’t your best option IMO. | |
| Your thoughts on my plans.. I also think you’re off to a fine start, and having spent some time with the Yammy Aventage AVRs I think you may be positively surprised how good your Motion 40s sound with it. Your speakers have a high 92dB sensitivity so power shouldn’t be a pr... | |
| Advice on desk speakers There’s a pair of Silverline Minuet Supreme Plus speakers on US AudioMart for $450 that sound outstanding in your setup IMHO. They’re passive so you’d need to pair them with something like a PS Audio Sprout100 for amp/DAC, but it’ll sound fantast... | |
| Opinions on the Nola Contender please I’m actually a big Nola fan, and though I haven’t heard the Contender I’ve no doubt it’s a great sounding speaker. I will say that I think the LSA is a better overall value since it’s sold direct, and that’s the direction I’d go. But I’m also sw... | |
| Would you Upgrade? Vocals tend to wander from center to left to right within the same recording. Maybe cut down on the merlot a bit while listening? Seriously though, I’d recommend going to give the Joseph Audio Perspective 2 a listen if you can find a dealer. JA sp... | |
| Help! Receiver or preamp? Im overwhelmed... @oringray — Go away Skippy. Nobody wants you or your game here — this is not the place. Shoo!!! | |
| Comparison between high end preamp and av processor? So have learned it’s difficult to integrate hifi and ht with hope of achieving the best SQ. No, it’s really not difficult at all and many of us here have done it and not experienced the sound degradation you are. This doesn’t make sense to me and... | |
| Anybody use a stereo amp with their ht? And .. ht sounds are diminished after signal flows thru the stereo preampCan you be more specific what differences you’re hearing? Are you using a center channel speaker in HT? What interconnects are you using from preamp outs to the stereo pre? | |
| 2 Channel via high end DAC vs room correction in Processor A true high-end stereo preamp would trump a prepro for me especially in a well-treated room. Preamps matter big time IME. Add in a good DAC on top of it and it’s an even easier decision. | |
| Newbie HiFi Headphone & Amp pairing suggestions I recently entered the HeadFi world myself. My goal was to replicate as much as possible the sound characteristics I love about my big rig, which include; clean and detailed yet natural treble, excellent imaging and soundstage, disappear as a soun... | |
| Searching for a Integrated Amp under $2K Agree Unison Unico integrated would give you exactly what you’re looking for. There’s a Unico Secondo on US AudioMart listed at $2500 but should be $2000 or even a little lower if you feel like haggling. Or you can get a Unico Primo new for $239... | |
| Opinions on the Nola Contender please You might want to create a new post as this one is 20 years old, but to address your question I’d put the LSA-20 Statements or Signatures high on my list as they go down to 25Hz and will probably fare fine with your amp as long as you don’t freque... |
