| Network Audio Player - need some basic advice I’ve had experience with Bryston BDP2, Sony HAPZ1ES, Aurender & Aries. The Aurender N100H is wonderful...(If you have a USB DAC that will give you all the resolution the media player will send thru USB)Original Poster’s SACD player will NOT...... | |
| Network Audio Player - need some basic advice only 2700??im pretty sure hes not investing that......he can spend less on auralic by a factor of 5 and still hsve money for a hard drive | |
| Network Audio Player - need some basic advice Marantz is not the answer for you this time......Marantz has a streamer, but they are woefully inadequate on a slick user interface that is easy to learn and use........it's clunky and getting the music into the box or getting the box to see the n... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K The AMG table is endgame if you like a non suspended tablewith a world class arm.If you prefer suspended, I think it's equivalent would be the OracleDelphi MK VI 2nd Gen with either an Oracle/SME V tonearmor a Graham arm. | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. Sound Labs are the only electrostatics I have never heard.....The Sanders are not a set of tradeoffs, they are in my mind unlistenablebecause of how you must be positioned in the room........I think the MC275 would be a great amp for stats in a re... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. Sanders does indeed disavow curvilinear.....his goal is to remove the room and it's issues as much as possible.....In theory it makes sense, and if you listen to Sanders at a show, you will leave the room impressed.......but listening to a pair in... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K Bill,I can tell you that in my experience, the 30x has plenty of gain for the Proteus...I had run the Purple Heart at 15x and it was just fine......I put wrong video link in prior post, here's the one with the Proteus on same table:https://www.you... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K wrm57:I owned the Kiseki Purple Heart NS for about 6 months. I used it with a VPI HR-X video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_cJrj5DwwQI liked the cartridge but was underwhelmed compared to others including Harry @ VPI.....I went to the Transfi... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K The HRX w/ 3D arm on here is a very good deal. 14K list for around 8KFor that arm, an incredible match would be either the Transfiguration Axia or the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze. I've heard both on that table with that arm....If that table really ha... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. LewM,What part of "I know they're different" did you not catch? At least you didn't write that I'm full of Baloney again.......Having said that, your explanation of the differences (the differences I acknowledged).....are spot on.You and others s... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. LewMThere's no analogizing......and I know they're different (that's why they're not both called electrostatic)I have owned LOTS of electrostatic loudspeakers over the years and I have owned Magnetic Planar speakers over the years, and yes.....it ... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. Everything you say bdp is absolutely correct.......but none of it negates the fact that ESLs and Magneticsrequire a lot of wattage to really sing....That's why Sanders amps are typically 900w into 4 ohmsCan't get there with tubes, at least not w/ ... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K The parasound JC3+ is a world class phono pre......very musical regardless of it's cost..... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. Planars whether it be magnetic or electrostatic sound their best when fed prodigious solid state juice.....I have Magnepan 3.7s and I use Bryston 28BSST2'sI do couple it with a full tube pre (Convergent SL1 Renaissance)I don't think I give anythin... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K One of the most musical combinations I've heardfeatured the phono pre you just bought (JC3+)That was a J.C. Michell Orbe SE with a modified Rega armand an Ortofon Cadenza BronzeThat combo as I recall would be in the 6K-7K range.......If you favor ... |
