| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room Currently I am using an Audioengine 2+ speaker that I got for $170 last month. It is about the size of the Audience 1+1 that I owned at one time. I had the 1+1 v3. In the smaller room that I am in now the Audioengine 2+ works better than the Audi... | |
| Room with glass windows as a walls. Use a pair of Magneplanars or similar dipoles which have less interaction with the sidewalls the room. That will at least mitigate reflection problems. Agree with the Maggie's having less sidewall reflection problems. I removed my acoustic pane... | |
| Room with glass windows as a walls. @surfmuz Last I looked a JRiver license was about $75 while ROON is a lot more. However, if you think of those 2 as a piece of audio gear, it is not that much. I use a very cheap ($500) DELL PC to run ROON. The same can be done for JRiver and then... | |
| Room with glass windows as a walls. @surfmuz Does your daughter use ROON or JRiver for audio streaming? If so, call Digital Room Calibration Services, Convolver, Headphone Filtersets (accuratesound.ca) Mitch Barnett will setup DSP for your daughter’s audio space to make her syst... | |
| what amp, streamer, preamp to buy $2500 If you are going with the warm A23 this DAC/streamer (lots of streaming options) is a good first step to get your feet wet. I owned v3 a few years ago for a headphone system. A very convenient DAC that is OK sonically. Matrix AUDIO Mini-i Pro 4 M... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? The LRS+ was slightly bright. A bit more than the KEF LS50 Meta that it replaced. Nothing that really bothered me, but I used a warm DAC with it. The Schitt Yggi+ Less Is More DAC goes extremely well with the LRS+. | |
| sansui 5500 My Sansui TU-9900 tuner was cleaned up by these guys. They did a great job. http://www.qrxrestore.com/ | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? @audiofilo123 I get your point on the treble of the LRS+. It is a little hot. I tamed that with 2 approaches. I used the Schitt Yggi+ Less is More DAC, which is a bit rolled off on top but a very enjoyable DAC. I am converting the LIM to the Yggi+... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? @markmuse I had some issues with the clarity of the LRS+. I loved the speaker, but I found it lacked the utmost in clarity. Not a deal breaker since it did so many other things well. I recently sold the LRS+ since I lost the room that was able to ... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? The Magna Risors were a tremendous upgrade to the LRS+. raising the speaker off the ground was a big benefit and also the jumper that Magna Risors provided as a bonus also made a very nice improvement. I used a Sanders Magtech with the LRS+ and A... | |
| Pass labs krell parasound amps The KRELL DUO amps are ugly as sin, but I would love to have one again since they sound so good. | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @devinplombier I actually have a PC from a company called SilentPC. I have a liquid cooled fanless PC that I use in my office. I cost about $6k but my client bought it for me. That machine is very solid with 6 monitors running off it. It also only... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? Can you post the link for the PC? I have a fanless PC for my office work, but it only has RJ45. | |
| Open baffle speakers I am getting an open baffle speaker in Dec. Do not know the name of it yet, but I heard half of it as a prototype in June (bass was missing). I have a lot of faith in the designer. I will be getting the smallest version which is made for recording... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? There is a lot of confusion about streamers on this thread. The post by @mitch2 is one of the best at clearing the confusion. He is doing the same streaming thing as me except he has a DDC in the chain. I was considering adding one myself solely t... |
