| Paradigm 120h vs Goldenear Reference Now just need a dac and streamer. I’m vinyl only since I sold my Lyngdorf. Ouchee!!! Couldn’t imagine being without streaming anymore. Out of curiosity, what made you sell the Lyngdorf? | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations I had absolutely zero idea bout HT Bypass. Does the AVR power the center channel? That’s why along with what speakers I asked what specific amp you’re using. You can do this with or without a HT bypass, but it’s a little easier with it. And t... | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address So, you’ve been here 18 years and have started four discussions, half of which are critical of YG. Why? What’s your beef with them? Have you ever even heard YG speakers? At least YG has the capability to design and manufacture their own driver... | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s Yeah, I forgot that. My bad. I’d listen to the new cables for a while exclusively to let your ears/brain burn in on the new sound and then switch back to the originals and see what you think. That should be interesting. | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s Whew! I’m always a bit nervous recommending cables, but when you mentioned you were looking for better detail and soundstage I thought you’d like these so very glad to hear it’s been positive thus far. I’d give them at least 100 hours before mak... | |
| A Better Way to Buy Gear - Help Needed I wouldn’t buy expensive equipment from anyone with less than 100% positive feedback. | |
| Cabling Recommends Simaudio Ace/Totem Forest Great! Look forward to your impressions, and definitely do a free trial of Tidal or Qobuz asap. Love your speakers BTW. | |
| Different Types of Spade termination ie gold plated copper, or other metals combos Though meaningful I wouldn’t so much focus on the plating on the spades as much as the overall sound of the cables. I’d also wait until you get the new equipment and it’s broken in and then see what sound characteristics you’re looking for from c... | |
| Looking for recommendations If you can do 8’ cables I’d consider these used Acoustic Zen Satori cables with their jumpers (from The Cable Company) along with this Silver Ref II XLR interconnect that’d be about the same price as the Straightwire cables. I’ve had both the Sato... | |
| Usher Mini Dancer 2 or Q Acoustics Concept 500 - Marantz PM Ki Ruby Back to the Ushers. It’s been a weird experience so far. You're gonna think that I am crazy but it sounds very different on different days.. Some days, they sound like a dream.. extremely natural, magical and musical…Also, i'm not sure if the Ph... | |
| Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ? If you’re going to the effort to make what I can only assume are meaningful upgrades to a product to the point that they warrant a new model designation, how long does it take to at least update a product web page to tell people what changes were ... | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION I just realized the newest Rhumba 1.4 is fully balanced and at $5k with a 14-day trial period that’d be where I’d go first. | |
| Usher Mini Dancer 2 or Q Acoustics Concept 500 - Marantz PM Ki Ruby Any updates/thoughts as they’ve had more time on them? | |
| Is it wrong to leave my amplifier on all the time I left my Class A/B amp on most of the time over 20 years and never had a problem, and I’d only turn it off if I was leaving the house for more than a couple days. The impact on the electric bill was minimal, and it was really nice having the sys... | |
| Not sure what to think If I was you with your system I’d definitely try a tube preamp if you’re open to that. You’re most likely to hear bigger differences (and benefits) versus your Krell, and the tubes tend to last a long time in preamps and typically not very expensi... |
