| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? @rfc i have personally listened to Naim and the Spendor D7.2 and found it dark. If you like a warmer, darker sound, great! | |
| Lumin vs Bricasti Volume Control In Bricasti's line, the M21 is basically an M1 SE Delta Sigma DAC plus an R2R Dac. You can switch between them. The M12 "Source Controller: is an M1 SE Delta Sigma with an amazing analog preamp stage. If you are only looking for the delta-sig... | |
| CD transports Check out the Cyrus CDt XR. Cyrus makes brilliant CD players and at a root level, that start with a great transport. This would be a superb option. | |
| Lumin vs Bricasti Volume Control The Bricasti’s is superb. I have used it with several amps direct and have been pleased with the output. The M3 is also very natural and neutral. I just had a Lumin T2 on trade here so that is my point of comparison. In the end the volume ... | |
| Diablo 300 vs Luxman 590AXii with Sopra 3 I might reconsider the Lumin T2. The Sopra's are lovely speakers but drift bright and the Lumin T2 is definitely on the brighter side. I have one here and it is brighter than my Chord DACs. I am not sure you can find an amp that is going to be ... | |
| Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s? I have not hear the Supernait with the 805 D3. I can't answer how that would work out. I am making a recco based strictly on a paper matchup. I found the depth of the AVM, it is 325mm or approximately 12.8". I know if has redundancy with the... | |
| Speaker pairing suggestions to go w/ NAD M33 Check out the Wilson Benesch Precision series. P2.0 or P3.0s would be ideal. They are very precise and extremely well designed and sound very big. They are also particularly neutral and will pair well with that integrated. I have had the amp s... | |
| Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s? Musical Fidelity is wonderful gear but slightly forward in terms of the sound profile. It is not a brand I would match with B&W. The other issue is that it is very difficult to find lately. I was thinking that McIntosh almost assuredly ha... | |
| Pre amp discussion/ recommendations sub $10k So the real question is whether it is the standard amp or if it is high or low gain. Options: High gain version (0.5V Input Sensitivity, for use with passive preamps applications) OR Low gain version (1.5V Input Sensitivity at 4W full power... | |
| Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s? @capt57 Topline (8 ohm) output means very little if the speaker is lower impedance. It means more current is required and its rating and ability to handle lower impedance is far more important. In the case of the Aethos, it needs very easy to dr... | |
| Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s? @capt57 I would look seriously at the Supernait or a Uniti Star or Nova with a major caveat that they are out-of-stock. The absolute power rating isn't that high but it is plenty of power to drive those 805s and tonally is warmer and a brilliant ... | |
| Naim? So, that is just for the amp section and it is 25kg which makes it 55lbs and the outboard power supply that comes with it is 35lbs. Not that weight along is an indication of excellence. But, note that it ships standard with the power supply in a... | |
| Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s? It was not from a review, it is in the manufacturers stated specifications. Power outputs at rated 230/115 V supply voltage: 125 W RMS both channels driven into the rated load of 8 Ω 156 W RMS both channels driven into 6 Ω Note: Continued high ... | |
| Whats the best sounding tube cd player up until now? Vintage or newer. The Canor CD 1.10 and CD 2.10 are excellent with a tube based output stage. | |
| Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s? None of those three options is particularly bright. Tonally, they are exactly what you are looking for. I am not sure that Rega is the best option because I have read it struggles a hair with lower impedance speakers but I do not have direct exp... |
