IsoAcoustics speaker isolation stands...Thoughts bdp24, seriously. I have my room treated and am using a DEQX, wondering if these actually do anything. | |
Pre amp with Dac It’s a little bit beyond your budget, but you may be able to locate one used for around $3000, the PS Audio Direct Stream Junior. It’s not a preamp, per se, but can operate as one. I’ve used it as a preamp and was quite impressed with the result... | |
Is DEQX a game changer? Ok, I won’t throw a “solved” in there, but generally the simplest answer is correct. I wasn’t plugging both XLR’s from the preamp into the DEQX, just one side; which there was just white noise coming out. Plugging both in makes it work, along wi... | |
Is DEQX a game changer? Hi Al and thanks for the quick reply. Your interpretation is correct. It does sound quite good without my preamp, but I really like the tubes I have in it, adds a little “warmth” to the overall presentation, so I’m not ready to discard it. The ... | |
Is DEQX a game changer? Wondering if any could share their connection setup. I’ve been attempting to integrate my preamp into the chain, with 0 luck. I pulled my DAC and inserted the Premate and am not able to get a signal to pass through my preamp. Sounds/works great... | |
Is DEQX a game changer? Wanted to thank everyone for their commentary and posts on this piece. I have one coming, should be here next week. Looking forward to getting it integrated. | |

McIntosh Mx151 vs. Krell Foundation vs Arcam AV 860 I still own the MX121, but recently swapped it out for the Anthem AVM60. The one challenge I have with McIntosh and HT, is they havne't quite embraced the capabilities of modules and firmware upgrades. When you're dropping $5k plus on a HT pre, ... | |
Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used I run Dyn C4 Signatures, with BHK300 mono's, it sounded good. I contacted GIK Acoustics and spoke with Nick. Working with Nick, he designed a treatment specific to my room size and various soffits through out. As I'm sure you will discover, it... | |
Is a single 20 amp dedicated circuit enough to run mono blocks I ran a dedicated 20 amp to my 2-channel room when we built our home. At time of build I was using a McIntosh MC452 and eventually migrated to a pair of PS Audio BHK300 mono's. I had them plugged into a Shunyata Hydra-6, which was plugged into t... | |
The Music Room In all fairness, a good friend of mine works for them. I've retrofitted and replaced almost my entire 2-channel setup through them. It has been nothing but smooth sailing for me. | |
DYNAUDIO C4 VS B&W 800 D3 I too have gone through this. I originally started out with C4’s, MC452 and a McIntosh C2500. Prior to the C4’s, I had a pair of B&W 804 D2’s. Not even close to the 800 D3’s, though I’ve listened to them and still preferred my C4’s. The MC452 ... |
