| Pairing with LS50 for whole home audio For you wife's audio request have you considered any of the KEF's powered speakers with built-in streaming and DSP? The LSX II would fit nicely in a Kitchen countertop. | |
| Pairing with LS50 for whole home audio @glfnboomer If you can swing a bit of extra cash then go for a used KEF LS50 Meta. In my setup the differences between the old LS50 and Meta were rather big. You need power for the LS50. I used the great KEF KC62 sub with the LS50 Meta and they ar... | |
| Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K Can also try Class A, my preference. Schiit Audio: Audio Products Designed and Built in Texas and California Tired of compromise? Kinda crazy when it comes to sound? Then maybe you’re in the mood for Mjolnir 3, a real-deal, 100% Class-A, no-fee... | |
| Cast into Utter Darkness Any mainstream Queen song you hear on the radio everyday once an hour. What happened to program directors that loved and played great music ? They mostly disappeared in cost cutting. However, I have a local FM station that plays whatever the D... | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 I would take this one over the 3 mentioned. I used to own it and went up the lineup since I liked it so much. Krell K - 300i Integrated Amp W/DAC MAKE OFFER! For Sale - US Audio Mart | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video @blackbag20 I just spent the last 1.5 hours clearing out the boxes. I kept 3, the CODA #16 amp, Magnum Dynalab MD108T tuner, and KEF KC62 sub (this was a problematic piece in the past but good so far). The MD 108T will need calibrating in about a ... | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video @bigtwin You should have used @bigwin for you name | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video I am going to throw out all the cardboard boxes I have for my audio gear. The hard one will be the speaker boxes. | |
| USED pre-amp + amplifier combo for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 around or under 2000? A Peachtree GAN400 (I sold one for $1100 recently) would work nicely with that Schitt Mjolnir. I should add this this new Schiit preamp is much better than the Freya+ that I had before. | |
| USED pre-amp + amplifier combo for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 around or under 2000? A Toppping pre90 ($700). Supper neutral and hardly works with many amps (too much GAIN). Normally would not recommend this preamp but you need it under $2k and paired with a warm amp such as a used Paraound A21 ($1500) (with adjustable GAIN) will ... | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? I say no based on experience with the Sonore OpticalRendu and the 'audiophile' power supply and audiophile cable they sell for a lot more money (not power cord) I compared this audiophile variant vs 2 other standard OpticalRendu's. I was not able ... | |
| Not selling Cardas cables online again, just wanted to share..... Sorry to hear this. I recently got ripped off on a purchase via Head-fi, by user fakcior I should have been more suspicious. However, I had used PayPal. I made an online claim with PayPal and they approved a refund immediately. I think the money ... | |
| Digital input amp I tried streaming to the GAN1 using fibre via a Lumin X1 and also a Sonore OpticalRendu. I controlled all of this via ROON. Not simple for someone new to digital but I have a lot of experience with streaming and software. The GAN1 (modded) with t... | |
| Best set-up under $20K I concur on the NS5000. I choose it over Vivid, Magico, and KEF Blade. Though the Blade would have made me equally happy. I use a CODA #16 ($9k used) but did consider the Schitt TYR and Benchmark AHB2 for them. The monos were under consideration ... | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. Back to Schitt again. This new preamp from them is the best I have heard from them (including Freya+). Schiit Audio: Audio Products Designed and Built in Texas and California MJOLNIR 3 CLASS A HEADPHONE AMP & PREAMP As a headphone amp it f... |
