| Does benchmark dac sound good if don't like oppo dac sound? I don’t think the Benchmark will work for you. The R2R DACs have been gaining favor among those who are looking for a more analog-like sound, so the Pontus is likely a good choice as is the Soekris DAC1421 that is a bargain IMO at about $900. Pas... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp vs. Allinic H1202 Read reviews and go by which one exhibits the sound characteristics you’re looking for. Personally I’d take a Herron VTPH over either, so maybe add that one to your list. | |
| B&W 804d3 amplifier pairing....(Rotel RB1590?) Bryston, Bryston, Bryston! There are a couple 4B3s available here now for about $4100 — grab one. | |
| Connect older Bose Subwoofer to a modern AV receiver So, I’ve gotten my dads old Bose Audiomass 5 series 3 subwoofer which I’m really fond of.Good Lord, why??? That’s like saying you’ve gotten your dad’s Yugo that you’re really fond of. my issue has been solved!Congrats. What’d you do, throw it off ... | |
| Floor-standing vs Book-shelf from upper line up? I’d be concerned with the bass output of the Trio in your room. It’s actually a 2-way speaker so both mid/bass drivers are going to reinforce bass. I had a similar speaker design once and the bass output was surprising and not really suited for ... | |
| Receiver Is stereo listening important to you? If so, what % do you use system for movies vs. music? How do you like the sound with the Marantz, and is there anything specific you’d like to improve upon? | |
| Ideas on how to improve setup please Thanks @russ69 — Staafs are not Hawks. Duh, not sure how I managed to mess that up. And yeah, that does knock speakers up a peg on needing replacement but if you add the subs it’s obviously a bit less of an issue. Anyway, there’s plenty of stuf... | |

| Any SS amp recs in the 1-2k price range? Over on US Audio Mart there’s a Bel Canto S300 for $725 or a pair of REF500M monos for $2000 that might be a great fit for what you’re looking for. Best of luck. | |
| What are few good amps currently for Sennhieser HD6xx (HD650) under 300 USD ? The Cavalli Hybrid CTH amp has garnered some very positive reviews from fellow HD6xx owners so that’d be one to look at. For a pure tube amp there’s the xDuoo TA-10R, or if you can stretch a bit the TA-20 that may be worth exploring too. Hope th... | |
| Hybrid Tube & SS Saw a video from PS Audio saying that tubes are for preamps and SS is for amplification and that we are best to let each do their job.I’ve found there are gazillions of variables in this hobby/disease and very few absolutes. I find when people say... | |
| Speakers for Adcom GFA 575se $2k-$3k The LSA-20 Signatures are available here on sale new from the manufacturer for $2299/pr and will likely fill all your needs very nicely. They offer a 30-day trial so you can try them at home, and I think it’d be hard to find something much better... | |
| Ideas on how to improve setup please Yeah, unfortunately wires do matter. Good ones mentioned above, and I’ll add Cullen Cable that sells direct so offers good value and offers an in-home trial period. Is there anything you’ve identified that you’d like to improve upon over what you’... | |
| Amp to power surround channels for MUSIC ONLY Check out d-sonic.com. Their Class-D amps fly under the radar but get stellar reviews, and their sonic signature and price would seem to be in your ballpark. They also offer a 30-day in-home trial so easy and very little risk to try in your syste... | |
