| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent But on my system these cables sound fabulous.Well, that's all that matters. Sounds like you have found a nice balance in your system. I'd be interested in your thoughts on the Tranparent cables. | |
| how do you know if you need a dac ? As far as I know, Ayre uses a delta-sigma or single-bit processor. One reason you might want to try a DAC is there are multi-bit non-oversampling (NOS) DACs out now that generally seem to please analog folks more than the upsampling single-bit DAC... | |
| Budget? Well, since you've given us no info about your priorities in sound characteristics, equipment, or room size, all you'll get here is a crap shoot. I'll submit Silverline Preludes and Monitor Audio Silver 300s as they get pretty much universally go... | |
| Newbie looking for speakers Go to a dealer or a show and hear the different type of speakers. Try to figure out the sound you like. It's better to spend some time up front with the research than buying something on a recommendation and then finding out it is not that good.Bi... | |
| Newbie looking for speakers I’ve got a pair of HPM-100s sitting in my basement. Great speakers for their day. But these are serious audiophile speakers that will amaze you. Stick a crowbar in your wallet and just buy them. Get a nice integrated amp like a Hegel H160 used, an... | |
| Value Integrated Tube Amps Seems I can find a used something <$2KSure you can, but it won’t sound nearly as good. BTW, Chronus Magnum II is a great suggestion. | |
| Value Integrated Tube Amps Do do you really need an integrated? Take a look at Don Sach's separates. Great value and great sound. http://www.dsachsconsulting.com/custom%20line%20stage.htmlhttp://www.dsachsconsulting.com/custom%20kt88%20tube%20amp.html | |
| Looking for an Integrated below $2000 Which amp? | |
| ATC SCM 40 v 2 and tube amplifiers Yeah, you CAN drive the SCM 40s with tubes, but why? They clearly need solid state power. Does ATC build tube amps? No! You're better off getting something like a Pass, Clayton, ot Plinius Class-A amp and pairing it with a tubed preamp if you ... | |
| Need Suggestions Agree with others above in that this could be a tough ask, especially since you’re so attuned to what the the Opus’ do well. That said, there’s no reason you can’t have some fun going out to listen to other speakers (health issues aside of course ... | |
| Looking for an integrated Amp... Or Lyngdorf TDAI 3400. Mucho good reviews. | |
| Looking for an integrated Amp... I think @audiotroy has a good recommendation for a good integrated with room correction. Micromega or some such? Room correction is huge in my experience and far outweighs any shortcomings. Just my personal experience. | |
| Black Cat Cable's/Coppertone wires are amazing good! Yo Teajay! Goodonya man! I have a Stereovox XV1 digital cable. A bit too detailed and maybe a little harsh sounding. However, I have no doubt Chris can work some magic with copper. I spoke with him personally and the dude knows his sh*t. I think y... | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? So, we’ve got some smart dudes here with differing opinions. I think that’s really cool because that’s how I learn. Now I want to open up a new can of worms that I’m really intrigued about but don’t have an informed opinion. Is there any advantage... | |
| I'm having a really hard time with: "Power cable reduced my soundstage"... @captbeaver and @whostolethebatmobile. You had me at hello. Anyone looked at Madscientist cables? They fly under the radar, which intrigues me further. Yeah they have some Voodoo stuff going on, but it seems to work based on reviews and I’m intere... |
