| What front end piece should I upgrade? Given what you’re looking for and the level of your system I’d highly recommend doing a trial of the new Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC as it will address your harshness issue and likely provide significant improvements across the board. I think it co... | |
| What front end piece should I upgrade? Well, there are certainly better DACs out there that would likely be less fatiguing. What’s your budget? I’d also upgrade those old Monster interconnects as they’re not likely doing you any favors either. | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room It was removed because it appeared to selling in the forums. You gotta be kidding me! Audiotroy actively and shamelessly push their products here every day and their posts never get removed. Absurd. Absolutely absurd. | |
| what cable should I buy for my system? Are you talking about speaker cables? What cables are you using now? What is “an unfavorable wind”? What does “lacks sophistication” mean? What is “space mapping”? How can you not have a basic budget range in mind? Not enough viable info her... | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system If you’re using the loudness feature on the Luxman 100% of the time then that’s an issue IMO, and I doubt the ESS DAC in the Lumin is doing you any favors either. In fact, I’d suggest doing a trial of the new LTA Aero DAC as that could potentiall... | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system Budget is not too much more than my current gear and willing to buy used. So how much is that exactly? | |
| Small speaker advice Given what you’re looking for I’d also highly recommend the Joseph Audio Pulsars. I’ve heard them at shows in a small hotel room and they still worked very well. Best of luck. | |
| MoFi or Harbeth (used) Sitting off axis is an issue. I’d go with an omni polar speaker like Ohm if I was forced to sit off axis. | |
| Streamer/Ripper/Storage I’d say either a used Innuos Zenith Mk3 or new Zen Mk3 is calling your name. It does everything you’re looking for, has a very user-friendly app, and you’ll likely hear a significant performance improvement as well especially over a Mac Mini. Stre... | |
| ProAc Super Tablette vs Ascend Sierra 1’s Definitely the brand in general. Love to hear your thoughts once you get them set up — think you’ll be very happy. I’d give them some space from the back wall if possible as they open up with a bigger 3D soundstage given some room to breathe. C... | |
| Integrated S.E.T Amp and Bookshelf Speakers Recommendations The Reference 3a De Capo Be monitors are worth a look given what you’re looking for. Best of luck. | |
| A Noob Asking About Power Cables With the music you listen to and your sources don’t bother with upgrading the receiver or especially the power cables as they’re just not gonna bring you much more if anything. Just enjoy what you have and use the $$$ for something else you need/... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC So, I'm thinking if I bought an all in one box CD/SACD player I could utilize its internal SACD dac via the analog outputs directly into my line stage and then just output the redbook signal via coax into the Aero. @no_regrets Unless SACDs are ... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC From what I understand, it currently is quite difficult to get one at this time though. So, right now I'm looking at one of the Jay's Audio transports or maybe the CEC TL-2N dual belt drive transport. I'm just in the very beginning stages right n... | |
| ProAc Super Tablette vs Ascend Sierra 1’s I’ve not heard the Sierras and have read good things, but ProAc speakers are magical and do everything at a very high level and are in my personal top five of all speakers. They’re one of the very few that are both musical without sacrificing deta... |
