| Does it worth a upgrade to Dolby Atmos? I didn’t even know CJ made a multichannel amp. Why not go 7.1.4? | |
| DAC module of a high-end integrated amplifier still hoping for someone with IQ above 80 to reply (who actually understood what i was asking)A guy with an IQ of 80 is a genius next to someone with a 60 IQ (and I’m rounding up). I understood your question completely and afforded it the level of... | |
| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 Given you may be looking to not add any more tube warmth to your current system I’d second the LTA MZ2 with the caveat you need to also get the upgraded power supply (LPS) option. The added benefit is that the MZ2 is also an excellent headphone a... | |
| Choosing a center channel I have two recommendations I’d consider before the Focal. If you want the best match for your 7002s, why not just get the Def Tech ProCenter 2000 that uses similar, if not identical, drivers and is in all likelihood voiced similarly? Seems like a ... | |
| Which Speaker Music wise I tend to listen to indie/rock/metal but also a bit ofeverything from across the board, good bass is importantI’d go with Monitor Audio as they’re good all-around speakers but can also belt out rock when called for, and specifically I’d... | |
| Cullen or Triode Wire Labs power cord? Cables are so unique to every person and system you really need to take advantage of their respective trial periods to make the right decision. Honestly, you’d be foolish to decide any other way IMHO. To confuse the situation further, PCs from A... | |
| Denon Flat sounding & Lifeless compared to Yamaha Denon Flat sounding & Lifeless compared to YamahaThat’s my experience too. I worked for Magnolia and got to compare Yammy, Denon, Marantz, and Arcam AVRs back to back in 2-channel with a pair of $9000/pr. B&W 804D3s using my own “audiophil... | |
| Innuos Zenith Mk3 Ultra-low Noise USB Audio Output, Really? Listen to it and see what you think. Lots of people are thrilled with its sound. Or just go buy the MB and LPS and build your own and see how that works out for you. I can buy the same ingredients as Wolfgang Puck — doesn’t mean I can create wh... | |
| Looking for a CD player I think your CD9 has a digital out, so I’d continue to leverage that as a transport and just buy a DAC. Would be helpful to know what sound characteristics are most important to you and what you’d most like to improve upon, but without that I’ll ... | |
| DAC module of a high-end integrated amplifier Ok, I’ll take a swing at it.My personal opinion, which is not based on experienceThe qualifier was really not necessary.these amplifiers are way overpriced to begin with (please, let’s not get into discussion that it might be only overpriced in my... | |
| looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range What sound characteristics are most important to you, are you open to tubes, and as others have asked, what speakers are you using? You’ll get much better and more useful recommendations here just providing this basic info. | |
| ATC SCM 40 v2 report they reveal the power of music like many speakers can’t.Bingo. That’s also probably a big reason why OP finds it hard to focus on work while them playing — kinda like trying to concentrate with a live band playing near you. | |
| speaker cable recommendations for Joseph audio perspectives2 Nice speakers and amp! Joseph Audio has a long-standing relationship with Cardas and uses their wire internally in their speakers, so they’d obviously be worth exploring (although I’ve not heard them myself except at JA show demos).That said, I’m... | |
| Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment Im looking at what's in the box and the cost of those parts that are available for the public to purchase.OMG another kenjit. @rushfan71 — You’d never buy any audio component if you think the only value of it is the cost of the individual parts. ... | |
| ATC SCM 40 v2 report I think the speakers like string and wind quartets and quintets the best, with women's voices and live bar bands next.I always liked ATCs with good, well-recorded rock n roll. Crank up Tin Pan Alley from Stevie Ray Vaughn’s Couldn’t Stand the Wea... |
