| Manufacturers pushing their products and agenda in the forums. Just read Mr. Green post above and I must agree on the quality of the low end products. I am shopping again now for a system and almost everything I hear sounds great. The low cost stuff is amazing compared to 20 years ago. | |
| Manufacturers pushing their products and agenda in the forums. I propose that the regular Audiogon site become a SAFE ZONE and a new area is created on the site called the audio DARK ZONE. A place where manufacturers, dealers, and anybody else can participate without worry. You enter the DARK ZONE at your per... | |
| Upgrade advice (from Paradigm signature s8v2 + aria 948s to... ??) @smodtactical I forgot to mention that the same day I heard the Eggleston speakers with Bryston I also heard Bryston 4B3 with Vandersteen Treo CT. That was a good combo and you should go have a listen to that. A ton of CT Treo fans on this site. | |
| Why so few non entry level battery operated dac with built in sd card input and streaming https://www.resonessencelabs.com/They have SD card but not battery. They top end DACS in their lineup are fantastic, via USB and the SD card ($6K+). | |
| Upgrade advice (from Paradigm signature s8v2 + aria 948s to... ??) I am going to buy the Paradigm 3F and I have owned the Bryston 4BSST. I would not consider them a very good pairing. It would be too bright.I have heard 2 of the most recent Eggleston speakers with Bryston 4B3 and 7B3 and it sound good. | |
| If you loved the Bricasti Design room at Axpona take a look at the M15 amplifier @roadwarrior75 can you describe the components in that TAD room? Was it the TAD ME1? | |
| Beginner choosing amp help @tbs I would buy the Peachtree Nova 150, 300, or 500 integrated depending on your speakers power needs. Use it for a while and then upgrade once you have had time to get a better understanding of what you want. I have the Nova 150 and it is rather... | |
| Experience with Linn Select DSM? @mgrif104 I posted a question to you on another thread and I see you have answered it already here. I have now heard the Linn Selekt DSM and the NAD M12. I was really impressed by the NAD M12 so much so that the Linn has lowered in my interest. Th... | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more @mgrif104 I heard the NAD M12/M22 combo and it was shockingly good. Do you stream directly from Ethernet to the M12? If so can you use ROON that way or do you need to use a NAD app? A second question is what amps have you tried with the M12? | |
| Paradigm Persona series This combo is magic with the Persona 3F. I heard the latest v2 iteration. https://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/equipment-menu/552-nad-masters-series-m22-stereo-amplifier-and-m12-preamplifier-dac My 2 choices: 1) Spend $35K fo the Luxman m900u... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Finally heard the Persona 3F today (had heard the 5F before) and I really liked what I heard. I was debating whether to get the TAD ME1 monitor speaker or the Persona 3F for my small room. That decision is now made, Persona 3F. This demo today sho... | |
| setting requirements for my streaming DAC+"preamp"/volume control and suggestions @gryphonite No problem. I just came back from a Linn dealer where I was auditioning the Paradigm Persona 3F with both the Mark Levinson 585 and the NAD M2 streamer + NAD Class D amp. I was rather shocked to find that I preferred the cheaper NAD s... | |
| setting requirements for my streaming DAC+"preamp"/volume control and suggestions If I decide that DSP is not too my taste and a floor stander is not going to work. I have identified a monitor speaker that would work perfectly in my room. In this case I would get the the non-DSP Mola Mola Makua preamp with ROON based Ethernet s... | |
| setting requirements for my streaming DAC+"preamp"/volume control and suggestions @gryphonite DSP is now starting to be used in 2 channel setups. I have a small office and I want to put a floor stander in there. So I first treated my room with acoustic panels and got the room dialed in. I am going speaker shopping now and I hav... | |
| Experience with Linn Select DSM? @mgrif104 You should take a look at the following comments on Linn on this review. Rather good.https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-linn-akurate-d... |
