| I'm thinking about purchasing a Luxman D-08 SACD/CD Player I would be happy to see a Luxman product with preamp | DAC | streaming. Something like the Simaudio 390 or Linn Selekt. | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 The top end of the NS 5000 is supposed to be a little soft or musical as folks here would say,. | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 @smodtactical I am on your web site and we chatted there too. I went there yesterday to see your new posts.My dad only listened for about 30 minutes. He is now a movie home theater guy at heart. Not so much into music as he was in his younger days... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 What a coincidence, USA! USA! USA! https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/speaker_systems/ns-5000/index.html | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 @smodtactical; So your dealer was mistaken when he said you would not like the sound of the Yamaha NS 5000 if you liked the Paradigm Persona 9H. My dad heard the Persona 3F and then the Yamaha NS 5000 and preferred the Yamaha a little bit more (Ya... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 @btbluesky I made my suggestion without taking into consideration your speakers. I am not too familiar with the Focal Sopra. I just saw "fast and neutral". Like you I was thinking that the AHB2 maybe a little lean with Kaya but the preamp would ti... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 @dpac996 Great feedback. I would be interested in hearing the AHB2 with darker sounding speakers, such as the Harbeth, Yamaha NS 5000, Vandersteen Treo. I mentioned the AHB2 since the OP wanted to hear something fast and neutral. Not too familiar ... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 @btbluesky . So I figure to get the best out of this chain is the fastest neutral amp I can get my hands on For giggles, why not try for FREE the Benchmark AHB2. They have a 30 day trial period. You would likely need 2 of them to run in mono mod... | |
| Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II @jtgofish I wanted to get the Yamaha NS 5000 for my small upstairs room but I realized the bass was too strong and I did not want to use any DSP. So now I have the Yamaha NS 5000 and the Paradigm Persona 9H facing off in competition for my larger ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Black Pumas - Black Pumas Only 2 listens so far and I think it is already my second favorite 2019 release. Heard the song "OCT 33" on FM radio yesterday and discovered a new gem album. | |
| Most annoying song, period. @rockysantoro I was about to play "Frampton Comes Alive" last night on Tidal and I literally said to myself, nah too annoying.@jacksky When I was planting trees up in northern Canada close to 30 years ago I decide to serenade the rest of the tree... | |
| Paradigm Persona the right source matters! @trudat I am actually taking these Persona threads seriously since I am looking to get a DAC to pair well with the 3F or 9H. My local dealers are not well versed in the Persona compared to other speakers they carry. So these discussions by a Pers... | |
| Paradigm speakers https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/opinion/1350-paradigm-shift-the-bagbys-are-back Some new Paradigm company info. | |
| Paradigm Persona the right source matters! This thread should be fun when the posse is rounded up. | |
| Vimberg has a bookshelf coming out I wonder how far into a room the Amea has to be placed. This is a 3 way design with a rear firing woofer.The ceramic version of the Amea is in the ball park price range of the TAD ME1, The ME1 is an amazing monitor speaker (the best I have heard). |
