Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? Here are a couple that could ease you in, and If you like these you can try some of their other albums that are also largely excellent — Joe Sample “Old Places, Old Faces” is kind of a smooth jazz, and a little more traditional jazz but still appr... | |
Bluesound Node Icon If you’re going to upgrade I’d suggest going to an Innuos Pulse mini with an external LPS. Their Sense app is outstanding as is their customer support, and with Innuos your benefitting from trickle-down tech from their much pricier models whereas... | |
Have an integrated amp with only 1 subwoofer out... Why are you adding an equalizer? That’s just a bandaid for something that is off in your system. Better to identify the source of the issue and address that rather than inserting another piece of equipment into the signal path. Look at any revi... | |
Dual subwoofer setup to an Esoteric Integrated Amp Go right to the source. Ask REL. | |
Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? I use this from LavriCables that I think offers high value with 5N silver and physically separate data and power legs for only $150/1m. https://www.lavricables.com/cables/ultimate-silver-dual-usb-a-b-interconnect-cable/ They also offer a higher e... | |
A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC Nope, that’s great thanks. Enjoy! | |
A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC @fthompson251 Congrats on the new DAC, and thanks for sharing your initial thoughts. Wondering what if any improvements you heard by implementing the clock synch with the Hermes? Thanks. | |
Room is way too bright. Not to complicate things further, but there are also first reflection points on the ceiling. It never ends. 😖🙄 | |
Amp for B&W 802N You should also consider getting a matching preamp. That Marantz receiver is way out of its league there. @audphile1 Huge +1. The preamp section of pretty much any AVR flat out sucks and will be a tragic bottleneck to better sound. The pream... | |
Is the Rockport Avior II an Endgame Speaker? I heard these here in MA at Goodwin's. Bass was a bit muddy and even told the rep who said "yeah a bit" but everything is is fine! Once heard it was hard for me to ignore. I heard Rockport Altairs there with MSB front end and Boulder pre/amps a... | |
Room is way too bright. You could do something as simple as hang some blankets in front of the windows when you listen — that’d probably help a lot and would be very cheap if not very elegant. Curtains would obviously be a better but much pricier solution. Another way ... | |
Amp for B&W 802N If I owned your speakers Classe would be one of the first places I’d look for an amp. Classic pairing. | |
Is the Rockport Avior II an Endgame Speaker? I don’t remember reading that the Aviors emphasized bass in any reviews, which makes me question speaker positioning and room issues as maybe being contributing factors where you heard them. Just a guess. | |
How to PM someone Well, going to Explore and member lookup didn’t work and I got no option to send a message. Also, hitting marketplace feedback under a username also didn’t give the send message option either. Don’t know why. But @mitch2 was right — I couldn’t PM ... | |
two channel speaker/equipment consultant It's because he's the OP if @mikeyb9115 replies to the thread you can click his name and send a PM. @jond You are correct. Thank you! Now the obvious question — why the HELL can you not PM from the original post but can when the OP posts lat... |
