| Are There Roon Ready I2S Streamers? Thank you all for your help. I didn't mention that the MA-12000's DAC died over the weekend and that started me down this path. I also have called McIntosh. I purchased a Holo Audio May KTE and Timbernation maple equipment stand. When I'm clos... | |
| Are There Roon Ready I2S Streamers? Resale on Holo is a good point. I noticed that even with the difference in price the Aeon was compared and favorably with the K50. | |
| Are There Roon Ready I2S Streamers? Nice equipment. I'm using an air cooled 10th generation i7 NUC as a server. Both the 432 and Innuos look to be well sorted, but I'm way over my budget for gear..so looking for value and intelligent compromise. I think that USB streamers make th... | |
| Are There Roon Ready I2S Streamers? Agreed..but I'm also caught in a self imposed loop. I have for years preferred vinyl, but I don't have a problem with spending 10K on a phono preamp, but I question how much better an external DAC will be vs the MA12000's DAC. The external phono... | |
| Questions to Denafrips Terminator Plus owners (the break-in) Looks likes OP registered one very negative review and rode off into the sunset. | |
| Setup Speakers Along Long Wall? I appreciate and will try to take the above advice in that it makes sense to me. The balanced phono preamp that I was looking at isn't available until November, so I'm going to buy more bass traps, lower my turntable rack and see if I can keep... | |
| Setup Speakers Along Long Wall? I'll be using a covering for windows, but nice view, so will only do shades. Absorbers over speakers and to side and front of couch will be added once speakers are in place. Calibration ..no. I have an Anthem pre in theater room , so have equip... | |
| Setup Speakers Along Long Wall? I don't have cartridge feedback with turntable located as in picture. I talked to the Wilson people and they prefer the speaker location as is, so I'm looking for a preamp with balanced out and 3 meter XLR interconnects. My dealer suggested Whes... | |
| Setup Speakers Along Long Wall? Ok..Added photo. Current thinking..upgrade phono preamp to Rega Aura, or Whest with balanced outs and use Audioquest 3 meter XLRs and place integrated just forward of RELs. Not ideal but this room is a bit narrow and Wilson likes 1/3 2/3 placeme... | |
| Monstrous power cables audiodwebe Another way to look at this is that if you want a great sounding cable, you can experiment with different builds for little money invested. In a previous life, I built interconnect, speaker and power cables. It was fun and educational. | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) Great choice..let us know how your new toys workout in your system... | |
| Monstrous power cables I am waiting for my Shunyata Everest 8000 power conditioner to arrive and I must say that it was the third most expensive component in my system. Additionally, each power cable cost as much as my phono preamp, a Sutherland 20/20 with LPS. My sa... | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) By the way I am letting my pair of SabrinasX go, less than 1 year old. If anyone is interested That begs the question, what speakers will take their place? | |
| Low Frequency Rumble from TT between songs SPL sure builds beautiful components. I would think that engaging a notch filter would change the sound presentation. If not, why wouldn’t all companies have full time rumble filters? This would make turntable design a bit more relaxed. | |
| Low Frequency Rumble from TT between songs Since all records have rumble prior to reaching the musical grooves, then it seems to me that you either need to repair the drive mechanism, or get a new turntable. I have a Technics 1200G and don’t detect any audible rumble from the turntable. F... |
