| Which of these 3 simular streamers do I select - help! I was in a similar boat a couple of years ago and decided on the Bluesound Node 2. I like the multi-room capabilities of the Bluesound platform among other features (nice app!). While I haven’t heard your other choices, as long as you will be usin... | |
| Can anyone suggest a decent subwoofer cable that is about 35 feet long. For dirt-cheap .. Monoprice. | |
| Streaming I tried Deezer HiFi ($20/month) and found the sound quality was quite good, on par with Tidal, but the lack of gapless was really annoying. If Tidal fails I'll go back to Deezer despite it's shortcomings. | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps Well, efficiency is the key with low watt amps now isn't it. My Omega's are rated at 94.5 and I can assure you they most definitely play loud enough with just 2 watts. | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps @will62 .. I think you made a good choice with the TubeCube 7. A while back I purchased the APPJ PA0901A ($180, now discontinued). I believe it was APPJ who originated the design and licensed it to Tube Depot (and others). I used it for about 6 mo... | |
| Tea For the Tillerman by Cat Stevens-which sounds best? After all these years Tea for the Tillerman remains a favorite of mine as well. I also prefer the HDT 24/192 download to both the Tidal MQA and the CD remaster (2000) I have. I no longer have my original CD or vinyl. The CD remaster is close but n... | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls @erik_squires .. a timely post indeed.One thing that is implicit in the culture of "high end audio" is the disdain for any sort of electronic equalization. The culture disdains the use of anything other than a volume control. Instead we attempt to... | |
| opinion on Omega Super 3i speakers You will need sub for the 3i to really appreciate them.omegas like tubesWhich is why I use 2 subs (crossed at 80 Hz). Funny, when I take the subs out of the equation it always surprises me to hear just how much bass those little 4.5" drivers can p... | |
| opinion on Omega Super 3i speakers Love my Super 3i's. I purchased them in the fall of 2016 and have no desire to upgrade, however, if I did upgrade I would go with the Super 3 High Output Monitor (there's a lot to like about that 4.5" driver). I now have them paired with a Decware... | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Omega. Ohm. | |
| MQA through Toslink The Bluesound Node 2 can indeed pass an MQA signal via optical. From their website:Bluesound Players are a full MQA playback solution. They will decode and render MQA playback up to 24/192. If however you are connecting an external DAC, the maximu... | |
| MQA through Toslink The ifi SPDIF iPurifier is once such reclocker. It supports 24/192 even through its optical connection and is bit perfect. https://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/accessory-spdif-ipurifier The Wyred 4 Sound Remedy Reclocker is another, however, it re... | |
| Decware and SET Low Power Tube Amps with Hi Efficency Speakers @larryi .. fair enough, no one should just accept raving fan boys gushing about any gear. The OP did however ask about Decware's low-powered SET amps paired with high-efficiency speakers. Decware has been around for quite some time now and their ... | |
| Decware and SET Low Power Tube Amps with Hi Efficency Speakers @larryi .. as I understand it the efficiency is too low with both ProAc's and Harbeth's, thus a bad match for Decware's line. Harbeth, for example, state in their FAQ:We have a social responsibility to our neighbours (and to our own ears) and we'd... | |
| Decware and SET Low Power Tube Amps with Hi Efficency Speakers I went down this path after years of curiosity. I started with the speakers and purchased the Omega Super 3i. I paired them with several amps before finally purchasing a Decware SE84UFO. The reported synergy between these two manufacturers is inde... |
