| Can you tell me why I didn't like the Reference 3a MM's? I think I have the solution. Fritz loudspeakers. I heard these driven with a 300B SET headphone amp at CAF and they were excellent. For the Pass it will be a breeze. Look at the Carrera and Carbon models. Fritz also offers a home trial. BTW,... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Listening now to Sudbin's Scarlatti on BIS. The piano sound is indeed very natural. Enjoying it and the contrasts between the short sonatas. Sometimes you can distinctly hear Bach in there, and sometimes very different composers. | |
| From bryston to simaudio Distinct upgrade. | |
| I need a loudness switch Or you could try one of these, at no risk (cost).https://www.musicdirect.com/accessories/Jolida-Foz-SS-X-Sound-Stage-Expander | |
| Cambridge Audio CXC Series 2 Return it and try an Audiolab transport. | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Buy new (because of transport) and get the most expensive Marantz you an afford. Marantz>Emotiva ~sound. | |

| Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer Tekton=4 cheap drivers in 1 box positioned at one point in a room.Swarm=4 separate subwoofers scattered at different modal points within a room.Search subwoofer + swarm on the forum and you'll find a bunch of posts. | |
| Recent upgrade to Cronus Magnum The tube that will make the biggest difference is the single one in the middle at the front. You could try a NOS Mullard in that spot, which is about as mellifluous and forgiving as you can find. | |
| Looking to get the best out of Redbook Cd listening with Dac a d Transport under 5K? There are lots and lots of highly recommended DACs in the $1500 to $2500 range. Sample a few of the recent threads. Then add a Cambridge or Audiolab transport and you're done.OR...……….Just get the Marantz SA-KI Ruby and be done. (See the review... |
