| Subwoofer for classical music listener The B&W DB1 is a really great sub..... dual 12" drivers, easy to integrate and built like a rock. Good aesthetics too. They have an updated version coming out this summer with several changes to the amps and driver material, but also giving ... | |
| Audioquest Niagara 5000 or 7000 I have the Niagara 5000. I’d say it definitely has no negative impact, but in my situation it certainly wasn’t a life changer. I do think we have clean power here so for someone with dirty power it might make a bigger difference. What you do get, ... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Have you seen the new Bricasti M5 network player? | |
| Anyone using a Mytek Brooklyn or Manhattan (I or II) DAC as a preamplifier? I am driving a Jeff Rowland 625 directly with a Mytek Manhattan to great effect via the analog volume control. Manhattan II is said to have a superior volume control. I think Mytek would pair great with a Pass amp. | |
| Amplifier Upgrade Decision 4425 has offered a good suggestion in the used D'Agostino S200, but ricred1 also has brought up the Rowland 625 s2 which should be close to your budget and is a superlative amplifier. Can't go wrong with Pass either but I think the D'Agostino and... | |
| Considering these USB cables. Look at Curious Cable from Australia. A well known best in class USB cable that should well exceed those mentioned in your list. Shop used and I think you can stay within your budget for a .8 meter cable. | |
| Best integrated from this list... I had a MF M6si for a couple years and thought it was excellent.....I imagine the M3si would be the same. Among the other suggestions made here I think it would be hard to go wrong with Ayre. | |
| Paradigm and Revel You'll have no regrets on those F206's..... | |
| New Revel 208 BE, giant killer? I'm sure they will be great, but I think it will be hard to ever beat the cost/performance of the original F208's. People have no idea what they are missing..... | |
| Integrated Amps with Phono for $3000 or less (or separate phono and Integrated) Some pretty good recommendations already including Hegel, Parasound, and Rogue. I'd also look at the Musial Fidelity M6si integrated.....$3K retail....I had it for two years and it is a really great amp for them money. Has a built in phono stage... | |
| Any opinion or feedback on the NAIM UnitiServe or UnitiCore? I can second the recommendation on NAIM servers, but he new Uniti-Core far surpasses their previous iterations in simplicity and usability and at half the cost. Setup couldn't be easier. I'm not aware of any bugs in the new NAIM app. | |
| Berkeley vs Bryston vs Lampizator Hope someone will comment on the Manhattan II here but I don't think there are many in the field yet. I have the Manhattan I and also think it is excellent. | |
| What do I need for customs if purchased in Canada & ship to US? I bought a used B & W subwoofer from Canada....had it shipped via UPS to TX. Unknown to both me and the seller, the import duties are assigned based on the country of manufacture. Since the sub was in the original box and B & W products ... | |
| Amps for revel salon 2 Several good suggestions here...adding alongside something like the Pass 250.8 should be Dan D'Agostino as well as Jeff Rowland....all have great synergy with Revel. Additionally, I've had a couple opportunities to hear the most current iteration... | |
