| Itching to upgrade preamp... +1 Sachs SP14 preamp May well provide those tube attributes you mentioned. He offers a two-week trial period, which is obviously a big plus. Downside I there’s probably a wait until you can get one. Best of luck in your search. | |
| Seeking advice on purchasing a new streamer Sounds like another very good recommendation from @arafiq. I neglected to mention that, in addition to streaming, the Innuos Zen is also a server with onboard memory so you can easily rip all your CDs into it and have access to all your music in ... | |
| Seeking advice on purchasing a new streamer Forget the upsampler, keep the Qutest as it’s a good DAC (until you can afford a meaningful upgrade), and save for a better streamer like the Lumin or Innuos Zen Mk3. | |
| Lively, fast & open sounding integrated under 3k? no2forward soundstage (begins at the listening position and extends beyond the speakers)I have no idea what this means, and I’ve never experienced a soundstage that begins at the listening position — except with headphones. | |
| Tweaking preamp and amp combination Your problem is not your amp, and I find it very curious that when you say you’re having issues with vinyl playback you don’t bother to mention what analog gear you’re using. Why??? Sheesh. | |
| Switch from AB to D Budget? | |
| Itching to upgrade preamp... How far are the fronts of your speakers from the back wall? | |
| Tweaking preamp and amp combination What aspects of the sound you’re currently experiencing are you looking to improve upon? | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsars with REL Sub or Perspectives in 11x11 Room? Not only is your room on the smaller side, it’s square, which is usually a nightmare for bass issues. With a room that size and shape I think the flexibility of placement and fine tuning capabilities of a sub with the Pulsars would be a much bette... | |
| Monitor speakers for true bookshelf location If you go to the equipment section here and type “LSA” in the search box the listing will pop up. They’re being manufactured and sold direct by Underwood HiFi, which helps make these a very good deal for what you’re getting, and they’re also thro... | |
| Monitor speakers for true bookshelf location Since you’re likely using Lyngdorf room correction that probably opens up many more possibilities than otherwise, and given your situation I’d be looking at room correction too. I’d add the LSA-10 Signatures on sale here now for $1799/pr ($700 of... | |
| Rembrandt Audio Model V Speakers....Better Speaker Technology ? Meet the new Bose. He pretty much lost me at “resonating tonewood” like in violins and cellos. What the hell is tonewood? Any semblance of accuracy is probably out the window, and his target audience seems to be millennials who’ve never heard a... | |
| Amplifier for B&W 705 S2 There’s a McCormack DNA 0.5 here with several SMcAudio Revisions for $1250. Plenty of power for your speakers along with a high level of refinement, and you could send to Steve for further upgrades if you want even more and still be within your b... | |
| Two Canadians and a Dane walk into a bar.... (bookshelf advice) The Ascend Acoustics Sierras are good speakers, but I’d take the LSA-10 Sigs over them seven days a week and twice on Sunday. | |
| Replacing everything - Speaker Recommendation Request - Under $3,000. With music.... I’d go with an omnidirectional speaker like Ohm. |
