| Dynaudio Special 40 in the house Source and preamp, McIntosh C47. Amp, Luxman M900u. | |
| DAC chips ESS Sabre 9018. Well implemented, can do wonders. Crazy good sound. | |
| Buchardt S400s I don’t understand why they crossover a 19mm tweeter at 2000hz. That is just too low for any 19mm tweet I know of. Every other makers have abandoned those small diameter tweeters. The latest design ring domes disperse just as well. | |
| Magicos are chesty Darn I thought those fancy extruded aluminum S series casings were all about absolute low coloration ( and resonance)... | |
| Shunyata Alpha/Delta NR Line. New Delta NR powercord owner here. I am seeking advice from users that have compared it to the Alpha or Sigma NR. On paper, they only differ in total wire gage ( 10ga. 8ga, 6ga). So if my gear doesnt need the extra gage diameter for power draw, wh... | |
| SPEAKERS JUMPER CABLES My Nordost Norse 2 have an arrow , so they must be directional. I recommend those without hesitation. A cheaper option is to make your own using Van Den Hul CS-122 cable. Very easy to do, and the fact they will be bare wire is even better. | |
| Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ? That indeed couls explain why they sound bad as you said. | |
| Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ? Not you, Caphill said they are awful. | |
| Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ? 3.5k canadian for the pair , I have difficulty believing they sound so bad. Drivers look very decent, how could they mess it up that much. I guess I will have to go listen to them to know for sure. | |
| Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ? Ok wow. So everything else seems better. | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range chandybe,I think you are right, the B&W 700 series offers a lot of speaker for the money. They seams to be competitive with speakers costing more. | |
| Revel F228BE Then uprgrade the interconnects, try some Shunyata or Nordost or Clarus.And change the preamp.Don t forget the power cables, Shunyata is imho much superior to Cardas. Put one of their noise reduction cables on your dac and you will have your jaw d... | |
| Revel F228BE KX5 all the way.But you would be happier with Vega G2. Benchark dac2 can be bettered, so why not make two upgrades in one step...What are your interconnects? | |
| Revel F228BE Personnally I would go with a dac wich has a very good volume control built in it. Something like the Auralic Vega G2. That way you simplify the system, less interconnects means you loose less signal along the way.Or a preamp that has a very good ... | |
| Revel F228BE Lnitm, good system ! If your permit, weak link is the Ayre pre. Had the exact same pre a couple years ago, it sucks up résolution big time. Did not realise it before I tried something more transparent. |
