| PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 Some good advice here. Your Heresy Speakers are very efficient at 99db. You can easily get away with a low powered amp and have the ability to then use single ended triode class A amps that use wonderful sounding tubes like 300B, 845 or other amp... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @larsman - And rock they did. There had never been a band before them with so much persussive elements. They were so tight. I just recently read Sanata’s autobiography and he has a good story about that concert. Apparently they were told they wou... | |
| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions I had a U1 Mini without the LPS and upgraded it to an Auralic Aries G2. It was a worthwhile upgrade soundwise and I much prefer the Auralic Lightening App to the Lumin App. BTW I bought it used in Vancouver, where I think you live as well, for a ... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Well not exactly the opening act but a surprise nonetheless. Santana at Woodstock. No one out east had heard of them . They were virtually unknown as their first album had not yet been released. Before they played many were thinking who is this b... | |
| Aurender a1000 impressions vs Eversolo A6 and Cambridge Cxn100 I think the incremental jumps in quality between these 3 units are likely more from the improvements in the internal DACs. In my experience, the DAC has a larger influence on sound than the streamer. A entry level streamer with a excellent DAC wil... | |
| Auditioned Wilson Sabrina X vs B&W 803D4 and Shocked I am lucky to live in a city with several brick and mortar hifi stores so am able to audition speakers in person. When I was shopping for new speakers a few years ago, I found that the disconnect between what many reviewers liked and what I though... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? I now exclusively stream music. Here are some comments on why and some responses to other opinions. If your CD player sounds better than streamed music it’s probably because you have not optimized your streaming set up. If you are still using a c... | |
| Enough is Enough @ricred1 Well I went onto your profile and had a look at your system. If your dealer think it sucks then I think they might have to invent some new words to describe mine. I wish I had a system as wonderful as yours. Maybe mention the name ... | |
| Calling All Tube Gurus I don’t mean to derail this in any way but wanted to add my experience. In the pursuit of better sound we search out tubes,sometimes based on some thing we read like "Joe’s tube lore".Why Not ? It’s a fun and informative read. But these and simila... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 bypassing my preamp despite setting to fixed volume out 2 things not so far mentioned and likely you have already tried this BUT: Can you adjust volume via the Volume knob rather than the remote? Are you sure you have not hooked up your power amp cables to the "record Out" outputs? | |
| Next step up on the streaming food chain? @zavato Remarkable, beam me up. | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? Before the age of streaming we were at the mercy of the recording quality. With streaming, and millions of recordings so easy to access we can populate our favourites folders with music that is wonderful and well recorded as well. For example,... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I abandoned hard media a few years ago and never looked back. Very happy with the sound, convenience, and ability to access new music. I’m over 70 and when I was young the radio was a viable source of exposure to new music and if I liked something... | |
| Where Do I Go from Here? I understand your desire to upgrade, that is a big part of the fun of this hobby, but I am curious as to why you are so steadfast on not replacing any other components, only the speakers. Your system should be a synergy of the individual parts. I... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? So many speaker recommendations but you really need to go out and listen if you can. You have not mentioned anything about the room. How big is it? Will you be able to have the speakers ideally placed out in the room or must they be close to a wal... |
