| Croft, NFD or Lavardin for Harbeth M40.1 The OP just got rid of some expensive tube gear that didn't outperform his low cost integrated amp. Why recommend a product similar to the one that just failed him? | |
| Essence Electrostatic Speakers...A Bold Statement "09-22-15: CleedsIt's just hype, which is nothing new, and no worse than the "Perfect Sound Forever" claim."I don't know about that one. At least Sony was talking about the actual product they were trying to sell you. And back in 1982, they probab... | |
| Essence Electrostatic Speakers...A Bold Statement I've been doing this my whole life and thought I'd seen it all. That guy is on crack. | |
| Is it possible to down-mix stereo outs to mono amp "Is it possible to take the two channels out of, say, a DAC, and blend them down into a mono input? I'd love to be able to play streaming music or computer files through it."Your playback software should have a mono option. If not, try Clementine ... | |
| How to tell the quality of a digital amp. "How does one discern the specs of a digital amp to compare them? "You can't tell what an amp sounds like by looking at the specs. You need to listen to it. If it sounds good, its not obsolete.Did you see my other post? I listed a preamp that migh... | |
| Preamp with digital and analog in/out ? Look at an NAD M12. I'm pretty sure that's the type of preamp you are looking for. | |
| Speaker Power Requirements I don't think I've seen a bigger change in a companies overall sound like MF when they went from the UK to Taiwan. You would never guess that you were listening to a MF product. | |
| NOS DAC's without any digital filtering? "NOS DACs are the closest to analog sounding in the digital world."How do you go about making that judgment? You make these type of statements all the time, and can never back them up with anything. Its just one dumb statement after another. | |
| Speaker Power Requirements I have some experience with the newer MF gear. The 6si will easily drive the OP's speaker. The only problem is that ever since they started making things in Taiwan, the SQ sucks. I haven't heard the newest si version yet, so maybe its improved. De... | |
| NOS DAC's without any digital filtering? "How is is this possible?"Its simple. Sound quality is subjective. We all like different things. | |
| Preamp with digital and analog in/out ? Yes, but what's the amp going to do with the digital signal? You'll only be using this preamp, as a preamp, for the sub. The digital signal will still need a dac/preamp before the amp can use it. | |
| Croft, NFD or Lavardin for Harbeth M40.1 "My room is about 15 ft x 24ft and I usually use the tube amp however my pre amplifier were sold and I was use the NAD 320 bee Int amp as temporaly solution but I found they sounds superior compare to my megabucks tube amp . ( Shocked ) "You're lu... | |
| giant killer xlr's "09-20-15: StringreenI didn't find grain in Wireworld.. Look elsewhere for the grain."I should have been more clear. Not everyone here's this and it depends on several factors. Its a trait seems exclusive to copper. Your equipment needs to be reve... | |
| Sonus faber Amatis vs guarneries anybody opinions? "I want midrange liquidity and for the speaker to disappear and don't know if a floor stander can compete."Keep in mind that the speakers are only half the equation. Even if a speaker has the ability to do this, it won't unless the electronics are... | |
| giant killer xlr's I've been over that issue with the balanced cables. Ralph was nice enough to explain it to me. There's a catch. In order to have a balanced system where the sound of the cables are eliminated, your equipment has to meet the exact specifications fo... |
