| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @smodtactical I have previously considered the Hegel 590 or 390 since I have demoed the 360 and top end monoblocks with KEF Blades and thought it was very good, not as good as the Luxman, but something I could be very happy with long term. https:/... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @georgehifi Thanks for the heads up on the Sound Stage review. I was thinking of also getting the Benchmark AHB2 to mix and match with the Luxman m900u on the NS5000 and KEF LS50 that I will have in the same room. The NS5000 + AHB2 could be a bad ... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @smodtactical What gear did Markus use to demo the NS 5000?My demo had the new Yamaha separates at $10K each.

| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @georgehifi I am surprised that you would think a warmish amp is need with the NS5000. I heard these with the latest Yamaha separates and thought the system sounded warm. I was thinking something a little more neutral would also work.Saying that I... | |

| Higher End DACs @dmance Would a fibre optic cable from the network switch into the DAC solve the analog noise into the DAC? If so that is a relatively cheap solution. For example Sonore SystemOptique or the more expensive Lumin X1 DAC ( $13K ) with fibre optic i... | |
| confused and don't know what to do @raw33 Go to the Audiogon main page and search for KEF. There are more used KEF Blades on A’gon today than at anytime I can remember. An amazing speaker and you can get something like a Hegel integrated, such as Hegel 390 or 590 to drive those Bla... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 The custom covers maybe a good idea since you have a toddler. I should also look into something like that. Those grills are a huge part of my decision since they look solid and my toddler will have some difficulty getting into the drivers. The bla... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars This past week my buddy was staying at my home while getting ready to ditch California for Florida. He brought along a $12K bottle of wine someone gave at his wedding. That is $12K at a restaurant in town that has 2 bottles. Well he and his wife w... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 Just saw this post by the guy that will remotely do my DSP convolution files. This is for Direc 2 but highlights the mans knowledge. https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/dirac-live-2-digital-room-correction-software-walkthrough-r884/ | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 Congrats. In the event that your speakers maybe a little too big for the room, I think you are covered in that case by DSP.If you use digital streaming and digital files for playback via ROON or JRiver, you can use convolution files to adjust the ... | |

| Small room amp and speakers recommendation If you are using JRiver or ROON for digital streaming and file playback you have the option of using convolution files to apply DSP to the digital music data. In my case, I will outsource the creation of the convolution files for my 12x11x9 room w... |
