| 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... | |
| setting requirements for my streaming DAC+"preamp"/volume control and suggestions The question of whether to use a preamp or a DAC with a volume control is like asking which religion is better. After many years of using both types of systems I realized I like a preamp in the mix. I have heard the Linn Selekt DSM and it is rathe... | |
| Experience with Linn Select DSM? I am considering this piece if I get a floor stander and require room correction. The store I went to has 3 units that do similar room correction. Anthem STRLynddorf 3400Linn Selekt DSMI am supposed to have a shootout with these 3 soon but may ca... | |
| Anyone hear Vivid Audio Speakers? Considering Vivid Giya G1 Series 2 from Magico S5 MKII I have heard a few of the Giya models and the Kaya 45. I found they sounded like KEF Reference and Blades and I love KEF. I prefer the KEF Blades over the Vivids but I could live with either. The sound is coherent, fast, and exciting. It was also ... | |
| Paradigm Persona series @audiotroy Getting back to some audio questions since I seem to agree with a lot of your tastes in sound. I would like to ask your opinion. I heard the TAD ME1 recently and you were correct, it is an great monitor speaker. It is unfortunate that t... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels It has been a while since I updated my quest for my office system. I have been busy with work and life but I have not ignored the advice posted here. One set of advice was to give a monitor speaker a second chance, specifically the TAD Me1. Well I... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux Wilsons were wired out of phaseSerious digititis (from Marantz player?) Treble and bass were way too highGrip and control on speakers wasn't that greatWhat I heard was an all Luxman system with Nordost cabling. The Luxman CD player's DAC was used ... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux @glupson My broke ___ did not want to like the m900u as much as I did. Unfortunately I loved it and I have heard quite a variety of good amps over the years. I think it is the best amp I have heard (for my tastes).Dealer was saying it is the extra... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux Well this thread gave me the kick in the pants to today drive deep into Los Angeles to check out the 509x and the m900u + c900u. I liked the 509x a lot with the TAD Me1 speakers. So much so that I am considering the Tad Me1 in lieu of the bigger s... | |
| Luxman M900U any experience ? @sandit33 Thanks for that post you made above. I heard the Luxman m900u today with the Luxman c900u and I just loved it. I am going to get the Luxman m900u amp but was wondering what preamp would work with it, other than the c900u. I want to get a... | |
