| Streamer matching to system @matt_mccloat If you check out my system, you will see what I did to upgrade my Node. I have now zero need to spend more on a streamer. The Node set up the way it is is at least as good as my vinyl and CD rigs. In fact the streaming has even a w... | |
| Hi-end audio is a big zero +1 @ acoustically treated room. Finished building mine end of 2019. My music experience has evolved 10 fold ever since. However it is a tough sale for a lot of audiophiles, specially married ones, since they have to be worried about messing up th... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp That was referring to the loop outputs. | |
| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle $3750 new | |
| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle Correction, their dac is the anniversary, the preamp I have is the STP-SE stage 2, great connectivity too. | |
| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle I would keep an eye out on the anniversary wyred4sound preamp. I have the standard one and it's pretty much the sound you are describing. | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp @avanti1960 I also have the 21+. Did you have subs connected to it? Reason I ask is when reducing gain on it, the lower frequencies don't diminish as much as the other frequencies. Which I like as it gives me an additional way to tune the sound.... | |
| LS50 + Sub Or Floorstander? If money allows it, towers with subs can't be beat imo. I got very big PBN MONTANA XPS speakers with dual 10" woofers and I still would not part with my dual Rythmick F12 subs. It's not that these large towers don"t have enough bass, it's more how... | |
| Downsizing for Blade 2 and hunting for smaller floor standers +1 @hilde45 I had a pair of Ascend Acoustic Sierra towers with raal tweeters too, for like 7 years. They were absolutely wonderful, wide clear sound, not tiring, with amazing bass for their size. I just moved to larger speakers to get a more imm... | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! @gjohns Not everyday someone is in tune with my musical choices. I am pretty much off mainstream and on the fringe with most of my music so it comes as a nice surprise I am not alone :) Thanks Greg. | |

| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! For bass, Tommy Bolin, Private Eyes album, Post Toastee. For clarity in upper frequencies, Pierre Moerlen's Gong, Time is the key, side one. For final overall frequencies check, Kevin Ayers, Diamon Jack and the Queen of Pain, side two. All viny... | |
| Newbie want to improve what I have Totally agree with the room treatment thing. One look at my house of stereo system will show you that it is of the upmost importance to me. Another layer to this journey and the most important one if you are really serious about getting the absolu... | |
| Counter weights on your turntable...another dirty little secret? +1 @jasonbourne52 Learning how to setup your cartridges is an absolute necessity if you are serious about getting the sound you like. There is so much you can do with your cart and arm to mold the sound to your ears, it's literally like an equal... | |
| Newbie want to improve what I have Welcome to the long road to audio nirvana. Take your time, be patient and most importantly change only one thing at a time otherwise you won't know which change did what. Hence the patience requirement. Unfortunately this is NOT a one time purchas... |
