| They know we will pay anything they can think of Unfortunately its no different then whats happened in the used high end watch markets or on Bringatrailer.com where people continue to purchase at shockingly high prices, driving prices up. As the economy cools prices should - I hope- soften. I've... | |
| Upgrade from Bluesound Node Unless I'm miss understanding your thoughts on using the PS Audio set up, you only need the Direct stream Junior with the bridge - it both streams and is the DAC. It's Roon ready so you can use it as an endpoint too. I have one in my system and it... | |
| I am streaming , how can I play music when provider goes down. I have had the same issues due to Roon's regular and sometimes prolonged outages. I have a BluSound Vault that has my 1000 cd collection loaded into it that though on the network is controllable via my phone and I'm certain I've used it for playba... | |
| ? about Smoking Power Amp Uh, no. I wouldn't use the amp. You probably saw small flames in addition to the smoke. It was not a coating or paint. It was the IC board, caps or other components. Not safe at this point. given it's worth less than $150 why risk it? | |
| Should I Sell My ARC REF 6 and Get A Pass Labs XP-32 So... I have had the 250.8 for 3 years and like it. I have an XP10 mated to it and have had Focal 1038BE, Sopra 2, Harbeth 30's, Harbeth HLS5SH Super, Sabrina (not the X) most recently the Sasha 2. I then bought an ARC RE75SE- and love it. I loved... | |
| JW Audio Signature Interconnect - I can't get anyone even to try them Jumping in on what most of the rest have already said. No Name cables don't sell- at almost any price. Used top quality, well known nad reviewed cables sell at 50% off or even deeper discounted- the assumption is that the original buyer could have... | |
| Need help from you acoustical experts You need to provide detail on your system pls, not knowing anything I'd suggest simply tilting your speakers from the rear so they tilt down toward your listening position as the first simple thing to try. | |
| Audio Research reference amplifiers used with RCA IC`s and unbalanced preamplifiers @atmasphere - Yup, Kalvin's back, I've talked with him several times in the last month and more often than not he's the person answering the phones when they're open. I need an LED for one of the meters on the REF75SE and just sent the LS28 into h... | |
| Audio Research reference amplifiers used with RCA IC`s and unbalanced preamplifiers @nsp - the amps put out 70 rms and 150 rms per channel and are configured one way - not switchable. Both drive Wilson Sasha 2 off of the 8 ohm tap no issue, the 150SE drives them better, bigger and louder if you listen loud. | |
| Audio Research reference amplifiers used with RCA IC`s and unbalanced preamplifiers Both the REF75SE and the REF150 SE are outstanding amps- better than any others I've had and I've had a lot of high end gear. The ARC amps (and their pre amps- I have an LS28Se) are flat out musical, dynamic and detailed- somehow they just get it ... | |
| Audio Research reference amplifiers used with RCA IC`s and unbalanced preamplifiers I have both a REF150Se and a REF75SE- outstanding amps. I'm pretty sure ARC doesn't want you to use adapters and I def wouldn't entertain having anyone try to convert them to RCA inputs either. There are lots of guys out there who work on tube amp... | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? I use 80 grit, dry, changes them from hard to clean gloss to satin finish pretty quickly. Much less maintenance going forward ;) | |
| Pass Labs 1st Watt Rundown I built an F6 clone from the DIYaudio web site a couple of years ago. great site, great members and highly expd with great advice and willingness to help. It cost about $800 in parts and the cabinet, I think the F6 from First Watt is about 3500. N... | |
| Sopra 2 Amp Recommendation I had the sopra 2 and a JL 113v2 with the JL CR1 crossover. I ran them with a Pass 250.8 and a Pass XP10 pre amp. They sounded just ok to me and previously I’d had the Pass gear running Focal 1038 BE (which I preferred over the Sopra 2), Harbeth H... | |
| Affordable SS that sound like Tubes Pass product sounds great and "tube" like imo and in my experience. Most of not al lPass runs in Class A for the first 10-30 watts, mimicking tube sound (and heat/inefficiency). |
