| Free $3K preamp to lucky listener who names it Interesting sticking with the "Rh" theme. Personally I think Rhyme would've been better, but sounds like a promising product and best of luck with it. | |
| Recommend A More Dynamic Monitor Than Harbeth C7 Yeah, ATC may well be your boy, and your amps probably have the juice to drive them. In addition to more snap you'll likely notice much more dynamic impact and force to the sound that captures more of what you're probably sensing when you play. Gr... | |
| What are my preamp choices? Yikes. Nice catch George. Does that strike anyone as odd? HK must really like their preamp section. | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? You've got a really nice amp you seem to like, and although going active has some practical and potentially sonic benefits you'd really be limiting your choices. Lots of great speakers you could pair your amp with, and I'll throw Joseph Audio, Ref... | |
| Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea? Thanks Ptss. I actually ran across that site a couple years ago when I was researching this so I'm familiar with the product. Looks like a good product, but I'm not sure what it gets you over just bonding two sheets of drywall together with Green ... | |
| Best loudspeaker with coincident/coaxial driver Man, maybe you have high ceilings or something, but it sure seems like you're trying to cram a lot of speaker into that room. Given the bass capabilities of today's better monitors and their usually better ability to be coherent in the near field,... | |
| Best Used Phono preamp around $2500 In a prior thread there was someone who compared the Allnic 1201 to the Chinook they much preferred the 1201. Maybe they'll chime in here, but just FWIW. | |
| Class D Amps Cable matter?? When you swap your Silverstring interconnects between left and right, does the buzz move to the right or does it stay on the left? Wasn't clear if you did that or not. Also, have you swapped your speakers from left to right? If the buzz moves to t... | |
| Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea? "Keep in mind I am aware that even simplly isolating w RESILLIENT won't help keep bass in or out very effectively! Only wall thickness depth and mixed with mass barier is only way there. SPRUNG walls only really help mid and high frequencies used ... | |
| Class D Amps Cable matter?? Just because interconnects so rarely just start acting up, have you tried cleaning the connections on your amp and pre, or just swapping the interconnects? Worth a shot to possibly save some $, and many report improvements in their system's sound ... | |
| Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea? Avgoround, just for my own information in case I redo my basement in the near future (more for better sound than isolation, although isolation would be nice too), what things did you do wrong? Thinking there's a good chance I'd make at least some ... | |
| High quality pre-amp improve sound processor So, just to clarify what has been said above in case it's not clear, rather than have your stereo source go into your prepro and then to the stereo pre it would be the reverse. Your stereo signal would go directly to your stereo pre, and the front... | |
| DAC/Preamp with Balanced Outputs $2500 new/used Had the Bel Canto DAC3 and DAC3 VB on an extended demo in my system. The standard DAC3 was very good, but the VB version was at a much higher level and well worth the money if it's in your budget. Glowing reviews across the board, and I concur. Ha... | |
| Let's try this a different way then There's a pair of Joseph Audio RM25s for sale here for $800. Outstanding imaging/soundstage and they pull off a disappearing act that rivals the best out there. Will have no problem filling your room with sound. Jump on them. You won't be disappoi... | |
| Marantz HD-DAC1 vs Bel Canto DAC 1.x/2.x/3.x? Since no one has chimed in yet, I had the DAC3 and DAC3 VB in my system on extended demo and they were outstanding. If you go with BC you need to get the VB version as it brings the DAC to a much much higher level. Extremely neutral and transparen... |
