| Anthem ARC and Subwoofers - A quick review One of my goals in this upgrade was also to get rid of excess gear. So yes, I've given up some control but I also gave up a miniDSP, 3 external monoblocks and about 13-15 cables associated with all of it. 🤣 @erik_squires Interesting you shoul... | |
| Anthem ARC and Subwoofers - A quick review Hi @erik_squires I was using ARC2 initially for a couple years, but did upgrade to Genesis when it was released. It was pretty buggy when it first came out. The latest version is much better. It's probably just a matter of personal taste. I w... | |
| Anthem ARC and Subwoofers - A quick review Went through a very similar situation with my Anthem AVM60 a while ago. I did not like the dynamic limitation that ARC seemed to give. I ended up adding a MiniDSP 2x4HD and using REW to create my sub correction curves. I set distances, crossove... | |
| How do I set the crossover for 2 channel listening on my HT system? Thanks to all. To oldhvymec4: The front speakers are indeed set to Large in the speaker set up of the Denon AVR-2807. I thus understand the crossover setting on the Denon is irrelevant and the low pass filter setting in the M&K will control. ... | |
| Underpowered? Your speakers may still need some more time to break in and the woofers to open up, but in my opinion, it’s the MA252. I’m a McIntosh fan, but I am not a fan of the MA252 or MA352 tube integrated amps. They are direct coupled amps and do not use t... | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. You know what chaps my hide? Mom and pops who sell on Amazon and feel the need to open whatever you buy and stick their gd business card in there. Yes, I admit I am extremely anal. If I buy something new, I don't want it opened before it gets to m... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? Somebody still loves McIntosh because pretty much every unit is at least an 8-week wait or more for delivery. Seems they can't make enough fast enough right now. | |
| Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL Just a garbage UltraDeck with a fancy paint job. | |
| How long is it taking to receive a preamp? Almost seven weeks so far waiting for a Mac integrated. | |
| Time to upgrade my turntable? $1000 won’t get you an improvement, but $1500 might. Speaking from experience, I went from the same Pro-ject table you have, to the $1500 Marantz TT15S1. It’s a table made by ClearAudio for Marantz. Very noticeable upgrade over the Pro-ject and on... | |
| Which subwoofer? I have a small room and also have ML electrostats. I have them paired with an older Velodyne DD15. Integrates very nicely. IME, I wouldn’t go with anything smaller than a 15. When my Velodyne finally gives up the ship, I’ll be replacing with a Ryt... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna I agree with the OP. I'm turned off by any dealer who feels the need to badmouth someone's current gear in order to hype their own. I contacted Upscale a couple years back to get a tube recommendation for my Vincent PHO-701 phono pre. Got some ... | |
| Some interesting stats from Discogs @grannyring “In the end I stopped spinning CDs because I am enjoying all the new music I would have missed if not for streaming. Such a Joy!”100%. This is the greatest benefit of streaming. I signed up with Rhapsody (now Napster) about 20 years ag... | |
| Some interesting stats from Discogs @varchard - my journey was very similar to yours. I was hooked after my first visit to a local record shop a few years ago. The thrill of digging through the used bins for hidden gems. I’m still blown away that I can find an LP that was pressed 50... | |
| Cart adjustment, that moment when you nail it! Yup, been there. Great feeling. Unfortunately my neuroses won’t let me enjoy for long. I always think there’s just one more tiny adjustment that can make it even better. And so the cycle continues... |
