| Looking for Room Measurement / Speaker Setup Software Jim Smith's book Get Better Sound is very helpful for getting the speakers and listening seat positions correct. | |
| New CDP or standalone DAC...? Just got the Schiit Modi Multi, getting a BJC digital coax today. Will be using the 103 as a transport. Plan to do some listening comparisons starting tonight. | |
| Oppo 103 comparison with an Ayre Codex Interesting. I have the OPPO 103 and am in search of a slightly warmer sound. Just got a Schiit Multi Modi to try as an outboard DAC connected to the 103. Should know something this Saturday.Tom | |
| Day vs all in one pre amp dac Hello OP, have you decided on anything yet? FWIW, I'm using a Schiit Freya and just got a Schiit Modi Multi today to use as an outboard DAC for my OPPO 103. Will be doing A/B comparisons this Saturday. Listening notes to follow.Tom | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans @tomic601 - you are indeed a gentleman. Very generous offer.OP- Richard Vandersteen voices his speakers using AQ cables. That being said, I'm very happy with the sound of Anticables (also solid core).Tom | |
| Best mid priced Amp-Preamp Schiit Freya pre, Vincent SP-331 amp. They sound wonderful together.Tom | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music Might be worth the effort. My 2Cs sit 9" from front wall, 7' apart, and 3' from one side wall, 3.5' from other. The bass is much smoother when the rear-facing acoustic coupler "couples" with the front wall. My listening seat is 11 feet from plane ... | |
| Help in choosing first higher ended dac? That's a lot of money for a DAC, IMO. What speakers? Also, don't forget the room and setup. Any room treatments? If you haven't already, order Jim Smith's book Get Better Sound. It is invaluable. Remember, your setup and the room will give you 50%... | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music The best speakers for listening to blues are the same speakers for listening to all genres of music. Vandersteen model 2s. From the late 70s to current day, they are very relaxing to listen to for hours. Holographic imaging because of 1st-order cr... | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans I had the 1s decades ago, and am loving my 2Cs for the past several years. Driven them with a Denon (100W/ch), Krell (150W/ch/8 ohms/300W/ch/4 ohms) and currently a Vincent (150W/ch/8 ohms/300W/ch 4 ohms). Clipping never happened, the only differe... | |
| CD player suggestions for Krell & Vandersteen @kalali- Good idea. I like Schiit products, have their Freya. Might consider one of their DACs and use the Oppo as a transport.Tom | |
| CD player suggestions for Krell & Vandersteen OP- have you purchased yet? Curious what you're going to decide on. I was using a Krell s300-I with Vandy 2Cs and an Oppo103 and the sound was definitely bright, forward and analytical. Sold the amp, still have the Vandys and the Oppo. Also wantin... | |
| Budget? You will like the Monitor Audio towers. They will play LOUD. | |
