| Distance from rear wall for KEF LS50 W2 The low freq of the LS50 Meta radiate in a circle around the speaker. If you put it against the wall, then that radiating pattern is disturbed. My LS50 Meta goes down to 80 Hhz and that is still some low end that should not be near a wall. If the... | |
| T+A Amps and Preamps? Anyone compared the T+A HV line with the SPL line from Germany that also has a high voltage design. | |
| Coda FET 02b Balanced Pre vs Newer Preamps I have had the following CODA gear: #8 amp, #16 amp, CSiB integrated (from 2019 build), 07x preamp I also owned the KRELL Duo 175XD that I paired with the 07x preamp for a while. I also had a Benchmark LA4 preamp ($2500) and I eventually came t... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I am back to listening to the LRS+ with the modded PeachTree GAN1, which is a heck of an amp. It would be perfect if I did not listen to FM over the airwaves. FM is a big part of my day, so I need to use an amp | preamp | tuner and so cannot just ... | |
| Magnapan LRS+ VS .7 The LRS+ is the very best speaker I have had in my small office, 12 x 11 x 9 + 4 extra feet in a closet where I have my office computers and desk (totally silent). I have had the following speakers in this space: Thiel CS3.7 KEF LS50 KEF LSC... | |
| Multiple audio systems in different rooms; how to link them with streaming gear? I do this in my home using ROON and Powerline adapters for multiple rooms. Amazon.com: TP-Link AV600 Powerline Ethernet Adapter - Plug&Play, Power Saving, Nano Powerline Adapter, Expand Home Network with Stable Connections (TL-PA4010 KIT) : E... | |
| Rogue CM2 I use a Schitt Yggi+ LM DAC with the LSR+. An excellent combo. | |
| Would my DAC matter? Are you a ROON or JRiver user? If so for less than the price of the MiniDSP you can get state of the art DSP by this guy. Digital Room Correction (DRC) Calibration - Accurate Sound He will implement a custom solution for you gear and room remotel... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 I believe one of the dealers on this forum has a demo Weiss unit that can be tested out at home. | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @ddafoe That makes sense. I was lucky that I liked the cheaper DAC more than the Lumin X1. I definitely like it more on the RAAL SR1a and VM-1a amp. On my 2-channel I think it is less of a difference. A lot of this is the synergy with the gear yo... | |
| Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged? I owned the AHB2 about 5x and likely going to get a pair of monos again for either my Yamaha NS5000 or Magenpan LRS+. The NS5000 would be great with the AHB2. The LRS+ maybe not the best, but I think I will take the chance. I have a CODA #16 and I... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @jjss49 The Musetec 005 is a very smooth and slightly warm DAC. It was perfect when I was using my RAAL SR1a phones with my 2-channel amps. The RAAL is bright. My speakers were also neutral so the 005 did work well there too. When I got the RAAL ... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 The best DAC I have owned is the Schitt Yggi+ LESS IS MORE version that I recently got. I am using a Sonore OpticalRendu to stream USB via fibre, so that is a big part of it. I like the Yiggi+ over my recently sold Lumin X1 and Musetec 005. I lik... | |
| Pre-Meta KEF Reference 1 or LS50 Meta The KEF KC62 with the LS50 Meta plays deeper than the Reference 1. Not sure about sonics being in a different league. I have heard both and own the LS50 Meta and sub. My gear at home is likely better (for my ears) than the gear I heard with the Re... | |
| Yamaha ns 5000 Congrats. Hope that solves the fatigue issue for you. I actually got some inspiration from your NS5000 videos for my NS5000 placement. First thing I did was remove a wooden shelf out from in-between the speakers. Then toed-in a bit like you have,... |
