| What should I upgrade I appreciate all of the info Bob. I think that a good crossover would probably be a worthwhile addition to my system.I looked into the XM9 and there is a lot of information out there about modding them; although that makes me wonder why the need f... | |
| What should I upgrade Bob,Thanks for the information. I called my local guy and he does have a cross over that I could try, but he also said that if I like it, I'm SOL because he doesn't know where I can get a reasonably priced one that works well.I have seen that Para... | |
| Looking for DAC to improve sound quality from iPod You cannot convert from a lossy format to a lossless format. There are two ways to get lossless. The first is to rip your own cds into a lossless format. The second is to purchase and download them from an online service, like HDTracks.com | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? If you're looking at minuets, there are three models floating around. The latest are the Minuet Supreme Plus. The models before that were the Minuet Supreme and the then there is the first model, the plain old Minuet.They are all ~9" tall and 5" w... | |
| Best Airplay Device AppleTV? | |
| What should I upgrade Mapman,I was thinking along the same lines that you are. I think that I could get away with a tubed pre for the reasons that you stated. I've always wanted something along the lines of an Audio Research piece. I just need to find one with remote c... | |
| What should I upgrade Ok, I was looking around for some tubed gear and came to the conclusion that tubes aren't for me. Not right now, anyway. All of my equipment has to go into the entertainment center. I'm guessing it's going to get hot in there.As for what I want. I... | |
| Looking for DAC to improve sound quality from iPod If I recall correctly, Wadia makes a nice little ipod dock that extracts the digital signal from the ipod.As far as a DAC goes, your problem is going to be finding a DAC with that much flexibility. The first that comes to my mind is the Emotiva XD... | |
| What should I upgrade How much power would I need in a tubed integrated? I know that part of the hype regarding the Minuets is that they can be run on a low powered tube amp, but they really come into their own with some power behind them. | |
| What should I upgrade Guys, I do appreciate the responses. The comments that I got regarding the DAC kind of puts me at ease on that front. I think I just had it stuck in the back of my head that I might be able to get a good bit of an improvement if I replaced my $150... | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? B_limo,I'm assuming that we're talking about an apartment environment. Right? What speakers do you have now? Is size a consideration?I don't know about the LS50s. It seems that many of the reviews and owner comments revolve around the amount of ba... | |
| What should I upgrade Thanks for the responses. I know that the Silverlines are going to be hard to beat without spending a whole lot more money, where I have to have them, anyway. I noted above that those were here to stay for a while. I only mentioned them for the sa... | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? Oh, I forgot to mention System Audio 505s. Another tiny pair of speakers, similar in size to the Minuets. I ultimately traded those for a pair of Minuets because they were a bit picky about placement. Well, maybe not picky, since I can't consider ... | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? Since I just got into a couple of pairs of Minuets, I have to give a plug for the Silverlines. They have good bass, but they don't go low. Just for reference, when I run a sub for music that would benefit from it, I run my sub crossed over at 55hz... | |
| Attention Squeezebox Touch & Pandora users Now that I think about it, I've had this problem with my Touch as well, but it's been with MOG. I don't use Pandora that much.Although I do sometimes get the problem of the song stopping in the middle, what I usually get is when the song ends, it ... |
