| Usher S-520 amp I use the Ushers with a Music Hall Mambo integrated amp in my home office system. It doesn't sound bright to me. The sound is very nice for a sub-$1000 system.Before the Mambo, I used an old Kenwood receiver and it lacked detail and dimensionality... | |
| Upgrading Mac ?'s Do they do everything you want them to, and not feel appreciably sluggish or unresponsive? If so, my advice would be to leave well enough alone, and save up for your next computer in a year or so. Otherwise, the RAM upgrade is a good cost-effectiv... | |
| Looking for a great value integrated I've heard the Rainmakers with a few different integrateds that a dealer carried. One was from Simaudio (but I think it was the i5 or something like that, probably above your price range). Others were a DK integrated, Music Hall Mambo, and a Jolid... | |
| Best Ethernet player Bryston has a player out that looks like it would be nice but is certainly pricy. I haven't heard or used one yet. Maybe a Mac Mini with a good internal SSD and external RAID system, coupled with either a good USB DAC or a good USB -> S/PDIF co... | |
| best "bookshelf" speakers for nearfield listening I would put the JM Labs mini-Utopia on your short list. It sounds excellent, especially for the types of music you mention. The Coincident Triumph I believe is Coincident's only monitor, and I used to own it. It has a good, solid fullness to the s... | |
| what to buy under $500 bi wire spkr cable I agree with Tmsorosk, I don't think this is a cable problem. PSB Stratus Gold's are excellent speakers with great low-end extension. From your description of the sound, it seems as if your amp doesn't have a firm enough grip on the speakers.I wou... | |
| proac tablette - signatures / rainmakers, et al I've heard both of those speakers. They have very different presentations. I had the Proac Tablette 2000 monitors for a while, and while their detail is good, I found them very uninvolving and "dry". They lacked organic texture to the music. I was... | |
| Vacuum tube preamp? I agree with Jdombrow, you should try borrowing one and see if the sound works for you. The "warm tube sound" is a generalization. There are incredibly transparent tube preamps, and very warm,rich, syrupy ones. And everything in between.If you don... | |
| External HD question Mwheelerk, I looked at the Bryston product you mentioned on their website. It seems interesting, but I don't think it's what the OP is going for. For one, it costs north of $2000, and still requires a computer to rip CD's and tag music and collect... | |
| External HD question Dcowen, that's pretty much exactly what I do. I use a computer I built several years ago from a few parts from Newegg for $4-500 or so, and run Linux. It runs the Logitech media server and has worked flawlessly for years.But the Mac Mini is a slic... | |
| External HD question My understanding is that the squeezebox touch can use certain NAS units (external hard drives with some networking logic incorporated into it) and remove the need for a computer. Otherwise, the server software runs on just about any computer and o... | |
| External HD question The Mac Mini is actually a pretty cost-effective music server with good performance, so I wouldn't just dismiss it out of hand.The easiest and most cost-effective solution, though, I feel is the Squeezebox. I'm a huge fan of them, and have several... | |
| Jolida 302B speaker recommendation 12/2/2011 It depends on the type of sound you're looking for. Most people would say that you're going about this backwards, and should choose the speaker first, then an amp that mates well with it.That said, the best pairing i've heard with the 302b is the ... | |
| Can Audio Physics be run on low power tubes? Chazzbo, Audio Physic Tempo's sound fine at lower volumes. I have a pair (the original Tempo's).They also sound fine with tubes. I'm currently using them with a Music Reference RM-200 and an Audio Research VT-100 Mk2, but prior to that I drove the... | |
| Question about iPad and Squeezebox touch Yes, just install the Logitech Squeezebox Server software on your PC, and use the iPad app to reference the Squeezebox server. You should then have full control over the music. I do just that, although my server is on a Linux box, but that shouldn... |
