| Recommendations for a new integrated amp for Vandersteen 3a speakers jplunkettj,If you really do have the 3A and not the 3A signature then I suggest selling them and use the money towards the Sig. It would be a bigger improvement than a new amp. I used Ayre V-5xe with mine. Good combo. | |
| Not streaming yet Sorry, I should have been more specific. Wifi I’ve got. I’m looking for a way to extend a direct RJ-45 ethernet connection from the router. After more research I did order the Trendnet. I discovered that my Sangean actually has a direct RJ-45 inpu... | |
| FAST, LOW RESONANCE subwoofer to go with Dynaudio Confidence 5? The REL T7i is a home theater sub $. Boom! Boom! You get what you pay for. Their S/3 or S/5 will do the trick but $$$. | |
| phono pre-amp being replaced I'm using home made loading plugs with my Herron. They're an RCA cable connector with screw terminals rather than the solder type, cover removed. | |
| phono pre-amp being replaced I'm running an 0.28mv Dyna XX2 MKII and it sounds spectacular through the Zesto/Herron combo.3 EZ payments,I have the Dyna too but not tried it with the Herron. How is the (all tube) MM input with ($3K) SUT vs. the hybrid MC input? The Zesto loo... | |
| phono pre-amp being replaced The last six months I’ve been using the Herron VTPH-2a. It destroys my last phono stage by no small amount in every category (a PH-7 with either Amperex or Telefunken NOS tubes. ) No contest. Call Needle Doctor and get 10% discount just for asking... | |
| Not streaming yet Thanks, that helps. I'm so behind on the digital learning curve. | |
| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? Audio research does have its house sound which can be a bit un-involving at times.Your situation sounds similar to my own. I've been there, done that. I spent several years trying to eliminate that lifelessness. After replacing my speakers, tu... | |
| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? Definitely the pre. I'm using a Herron VTSP 360 now. Only about 30 hours in and things are sooo involving. The Xa-25 is super transparent. | |
| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? boring on rock? Audio research can seem a bit thread bare sometimes. Is that what you’re referring to?No. Too laid back. I use a REL s/5 to fill in the bass. | |
| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? I just sold an ARC Ref 3 that I used with a Pass Xa-25. It was boring on rock, decent on jazz. | |
| What does a 'refined sounding' speaker mean ? I've heard only one speaker that touched me as refined. It was a sophistication of sweetness and accuracy. Definitely something about the treble. Can't recall the brand. It was beyond my means at the time. | |
| First Post- what not to do Do not chase detail and imaging at the expense of good sound. | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. The difference in sound quality between a poor sub set up and a great set up is astounding. +1Earlier this year I added a REL S/5 to my system. Just a foot of placement and an inch or two of fine tuning was the difference between extreme room node... | |
| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? The difference between an expensive and cheap anything in audio is the exceptional room, set up and gear you need to hear the difference. Without all that the money is mostly wasted. |
