| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 Thanks for your fantastic response. I had read your review about a month ago and I was looking for someone to do a comparison of the Veritas with the Theta. I cannot do this since I do not have my complete system yet (amp and speakers missing). Ho... | |
| Which desktop speakers to buy $800 Wait for the new Andrew Jones ELAC speakers. I heard them at The Newport show and for $250 they are incredible for that price. The Audience The One is another one recommended to me but I never heard it.I was using the KEF LS50's on my desktop for ... | |
| Thiel SCS3 I used the SCS4 for my TV and movies (on 2 channel) and I was extremely pleased that I could get away with such a setup for TV viewing. Enjoy the Music has a nice review of a 5 speaker SCS4 HT system."THIEL SCS4 Monitors With SS1 SmartSub Subwoofer" | |
| bryston 28bsst2 / mag's 3.7 Take a look at the BAT VK-43SE SS preamp. I have used the Bat VK-42SE (previous model) with many Bryston amps (up to 7B-SST) and it was a great match. I love the BAT pre-amp. I used to own the Bryson BP25 but that was a very long time ago and nowh... | |
| Emotiva XDA 1 DAC Any thoughts? I use the XDA-1 ($149) at work with my Audioengine A2 speakers and TIDAL lossless streaming. It sounds OK on those speakers but on better speakers, such as my home desktop KEF LS50's, the XDA-1 are not that good. I use the Benchmark DAC2 at home a... | |
| Shipping Heavy Speakers: Freight of FedEx I shipped my Revel Salons to the buyer by BAXGlobal. They did a perfect job. Those speakers were about 150lbs each. | |
| PSAudio Direct Stream or Bryston BDA/BDP2? Any of you with the Direct Stream + Bryson also have the Bridge 1 installed? I was considering getting the Bryson BDP1-USB when I get my DS but now I am waiting until the Bridge 2 is released in the next few months. One less component in the livin... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify In my very good home desktop system I could not listen to Spotify. It was just very bad sounding. Tidal in that system sounds incredible. This system is comprised of the following: KEF LS50 speakersParaound A23 ampBenchmark DAC2Windows 2012 Server... | |
| Integrated to go with KEF LS50 Another option, instead of an integrated, that I use for my office setup is the Benchmark DAC2. This unit can be used as a digital pre-amp. That is you can plug your CD player, computer, and other digital inputs into it. It also has an analog inpu... | |
| Tidal HiFi Streaming? I am using Tidal now for about 2 weeks. I listen about 8 to 10 hours at work. Occasional 1 second Tidal music pause when I switch browsers tasks. I have an extremely busy computer (software developer). However, music stream has never gone done.At ... | |
| The cloud? You can do this with Microsoft OneDrive. Not sure how the client is presented on a MAC but on Windows 8 and Windows 2012 Server the OneDrive client service maps a drive on your local machine to the cloud repository. It is like having a regular loc... | |
| Resonessence Mirrus DAC and SDXC Cards Thanks the owner of Resonessence put me in touch with a Mirrus DAC owner and we had an email chat about the SDXC cards and the GUI via the apple remote. Main takeaway was the SDXC input sounds the best (makes sense) and that the GUI is OK, not as ... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream As an FYI, both TAS and Stereophile have reviews of this unit this month. I got both in the mail today. |
