| Changes in DAC Presentation - Need Advice I believe that you have a problem on the dac. Breakin is questionable at best and no major swings in audio should occur. I use a Microsoft surface as a roon source, ultra rendu via usb to an audio gd r7 and the sq has been incredible and consi... | |
| Audio Research or Luxman? Audition esoteric integrated before luxman. Started demo with luxman and bought the esoteric. Knew they were a leading digital player, no prior experience with their amos | |
| Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears Back in the high life. Warren Zevon cover both sides now. Seal cover Joni Mitchell 75 th birthday heroes cover by Peter Gabriel with the London symphony. This one isn’t the most meaningful song, but reminds you that you are a music lover that... | |
| Streaming Amazing how well the chromecast audio works for 45 dollars plus toslink. No dropouts. My dac just was designed best for usb | |
| Streaming I find the playlists on Amazon preferable for discovering new music, or covers of favorites, much like Spotify. Qobuz is behind the curve in their playlist and a bit repetitive. Any help with my system? | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? When you can’t wait for some down time to listen to music and have no interest in auditioning equipment that might sound better. My current state. No pun intended | |
| Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? Agree with Maggie's needing some serious current and voltage. Watts per dollar. Bryston. parasound. Perhaps some older McCormick dna was a great combination. On the higher end spectral 150/180 but you need their wire and preamps. | |
| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts Audio consultants in Chicago. I was new in my career and the first question was what is my budget. Told him I had a good job and had a modest system already. His response was when you know what you can spend I will put together a system for you.... | |

| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system You have to demo any amp with your intended speakers. It’s difficult with so few remaining brick and mortar retailers left. I’m not familiar with your speaker, but numbers just don’t work. I went to demo the luxman in Atlanta and they were run... | |
| Best Speaker Choice for my very "non-audio-friendly" Living Room Fyne 703 mentioned earlier. I have the 702 in a smallish room with glass doors. The tweeter in midrange design avoids the initial interactions with the sidewalls. Shop manager helped me set up. No room treatments needed | |
| New speaker cables recommendations sought I had a spectral system for years so I was married to mit/spectral for decades. Recently put together a 2 channel system and had no intentions on spending big bucks on speaker wire.I auditioned a combination dac/integrated/ speaker combo that wa... | |
| Recommendation for a highly resolving amp I have owned spectral for since the mid 90’s. I don’t know much about your quad but if they are anything like Maggie’s you need at least 250 wpc to Get the panels moving. Spectral had or has a universal amplifier that can be driven by any solid s... | |
| Recommended streamers/servers? I have the sonore ultra rendu via usb to audio gd dac. It is mainly a room player Excellent sound but have to go to settings section to select an airplay emulation. Need this for Amazon hd which I added later. Miss the flexibility of bluos but... | |
| The two stages of audiophilia Agree with audioguy and a similar system esoteric class a integrated with Fyne audio speakers. Over 30’years from Polk to audio physic to Martin logans(now relegated to ht). And sold my separates during a downsize. No more slam, prat soundstage... |
