| What sort of upgrade from Rega Brio to go with my Dynaudio's X12? Just taking a quick look out there, I used to have one of these: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb9j7i-nad-c-375bee-stereo-integrated-amplifier-c375bee-64305-solid-state driving my power hungry KEF LS50's, it does very well with 4 o... | |
| What sort of upgrade from Rega Brio to go with my Dynaudio's X12? The X12’s are 86dB sensitivity and rated at 4 ohms impedance, I am not surprised that the Brio is not doing it for you. NAD tends to be good with current thirsty speakers. Maybe Hegel, not sure. I would watch the used market and do your research, ... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? A couple things, check what DAC settings are being used on the A8, it seems there are a lot of options. More importantly, the A8 is a preamp, and so is the integrated. Ideally the A8 should be turned up to 100% or configured for line level to bypa... | |
| The Horror @mapman My suggestion would be a pair of KEF R3 meta on stands. Optionally add matching kef sub tuned in just right for that room and you are in very good shape. I run KEF Reference 1's, so I will agree with you! I attended AXPONA this year an... | |
| Help needed - Only one channel playing! Confused as well, which component is controlling volume in this setup? | |
| The Horror You have a very nice system, but it seems you are really forcing the Magnepans into that space. Seriously, consider some high quality stand mounts, you can find that bliss. | |
| Power conditioners and power regeneration Interesting discussion. I use a Furman Elite 20PFi, but it sure seems like the quality of my sound varies by the time of day and I wonder if regeneration would offer improvement. I was researching Merason DAC's, and by accident came across, Maruso... | |
| Hardware or source materail Sorry, my answer only implied my response to the original question. Good source material is important, but I think that better gear might improve the “normal” source material such that the hi-res versions can be reserved for some special recording... | |
| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables +1 for the Satori’s, they made a huge difference in my system and provide a clean natural sound. | |
| Looking for recommendations +1 @soix I took his advice after trying many speaker cables, including BJC, Satori’s checked all the boxes, I love them. | |
| Different Types of Spade termination ie gold plated copper, or other metals combos I have been through a few cables and find that I consistently like ones that use OCC copper. I am currently using a mix of WireWorld and Acoustic Zen. | |
| Hardware or source materail Having owned LS50’s and now Reference One’s I can confidently say that you are missing out on a lot of potential in the amp department. I don’t think you need to spend $7k, but you could, easily. | |
| A Better Way to Buy Gear - Help Needed If your gut says it’s a dicey deal, I would pay attention. However, as someone who has been on both ends of many deals, there is always a degree of risk to both parties. As a seller I am not willing to use straight PP, not because of the fees, but... | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address I heard YG speakers in two separate rooms at AXPONA this year and felt that they stood out from the crowd. Maybe they got it right the first time around. | |
