| Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed If you like the sound with the Vincent separates why not keep it simple and just go with that since it’s a known factor and Vincent makes good and reasonably-priced gear?Past that, it’s really hard to make recommendations when most of us have neve... | |
| Yamaha vs Rotel I think pretty much any streamer/DAC combo will be a step below your system, even going used. If you’re up for it, I think something like a raspberry pi streamer with a Gustard A18 DAC would give you better performance than an integrated unit at ... | |
| LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5? Are you sure they’re fully broken in yet? How many hours do you have on them?I hear ya on the lower mids — I think my speakers give a very slight oomph there too, and it does make many other speakers sound a bit neutered, more distant, and less i... | |
| Connecting Bluesound Node 2i to Anthem receiver Agree with others you should just try it both ways. For digital the vast majority prefer a 75Ohm digital cable over toslink. You can get a 1.5m Apogee Wyde Eye from Amazon for only $55 that’s very good — just make sure you follow the directional... | |
| Preamp upgrade What improvements and sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| Yamaha vs Rotel I’d think the Yammy would be a little warmer sounding just going by reviews, and way ahead in the looks department IMHO. Congrats on winning the longest screen name award btw. | |
| Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ? The only amp I “simply must have” is the one that works best with the speakers I love. My audio DNA just don’t work the other way ‘round. A couple that might get me thinking a little though would be the Valvet A4e mono blocks or maybe a Raven tu... | |
| New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing Good lord, has this chicken pecked anyone else’s toes on here?Only the unfounded, ignorant, and/or conspiracy theory toes. They piss me off. Too many kenjit-like conspiracy commandos around here already and don’t need any more so best to nip it in... | |
| New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing Nice try butthole. I’ve never compared going direct from idevices to a streamer because I don’t have one, so I was looking for input from people who have and if superior I’m buying probably an Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer. My question in no way implies... | |
| Best AV receiver for B&W 703 S2? What specifically seems underwhelming? | |
| Pathos amplifiers comparison Maybe a good substitute would be a Unison Research Unico Due that’s also a hybrid design with more power and even keeps things in the Italian family. Best of luck. | |
| Emotiva XPA-1 VS. McCormack DNA-750’s... Dontcha hate when you unintentionally hit “Send” and... | |
| “Black background” — What really contributes to this phenomenon? Listen a night and turn lights off. Boom. | |
| Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options? we wouldn’t buy other gear that couldn’t reproduce the full audible range accurately, why should speakers be different.Cost. Size/Room constraints. This is why the Good Lord created the subwoofer. | |
| Power cable recommendations for wyred 4 sound Sti-Intergrated amp The good news is that with all the quality direct sellers these days it’s easy to try cables at home and return them if they don’t work for you. I’ll mention Cullen Cable, Triode Wire Labs, Audio Envy, and Raven Audio as some reputable and reason... |
