| Let’s make this a better community!? With a follow up! Totally agree. I've had high end audio for many years and I still get confused by certain specs---especially DACs. Clarity definitely helps. | |
| What is wrong with my system? Many great suggestions here. I agree with trying 'no cost' or the cheapest changes first like room placement, etc. As for cables (which could be the issue), check out the Cable Company (www.thecableco.com). They have a lending library where you ca... | |
| Should I try XLR? @sbank yes---thank you for that explanation. I'm currently looking for CD/streamers that have XLR outputs. The Technics SL G700 has some good specs and reviews. | |
| What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s? I was a young kid in the '70s but I remember hearing these songs on jukeboxes and AM radios.1. Eagles - One of these nights2. 10cc - I'm not in love3. ELO - Evil woman4. Rod Stewart - Do ya think I'm sexy5. Bee Gees - How deep is your love | |
| so, i recorded a type 1, normal bias, on a 70s cassette deck, and it sounds FANTASTIC My homemade 'mix tapes' from the 80s-90s still sound great on my early 90's Denon deck. | |
| Advice on a streamer I have the Marantz ND8006 CD/Streamer ($1300) which I use for Spotify Connect. I use it with my Luxman 505UXii integrated amp. It plays through my WiFi and it sounds great. I have a lot of CDs as well so I can still use the 8006 if I want to play ... | |
| Should I try XLR? @lalitk Thanks for checking into ND8006--well, that solves that. I should have looked into that myself. If I decide to 'tweak' or upgrade late, I'll try XLR. | |
| Should I try XLR? @gdnrbob Thanks for the response---but I have no idea what AES 47 protocol is. Guess I'll keep the ICs. LOL | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. I have friends much, much younger than me and I listen to a lot of their music and they also to mine. I try to keep and open mind and not stay stuck in the same decade or two of recordings. There are many great artists beyond what's played on top ... | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? I'm not a huge fan of Prince but I respect him as an artist. But I do agree with him---the fact that the music from those decades are still alive and well today. I would also consider this the Golden Age of music technology. All the changes that w... | |
| Rotel RA-1592 MK II or something else to deliver around 200W to B&W towers around $3000? I also agree on the Parasound Hint integrated---but maybe look at the Parasound preamp and a nice class D for power (Wyred 4 Sound, PS Audio...) Good luck! | |
| Why the cost increase? I got an email this week from Cary Audio (in NC) saying that their prices were about to increase in a day or so--a lot of their products are on sale at the moment. They cited the same reasons that most other companies have stated. It's a real sham... | |
| Thinking of adding a sub---maybe not? @mwinkc Thanks for the input--I've tried adjusting the tone controls but just I wasn't too happy with it. Hence, thinking of the sub. I realize my room acoustics is playing a part with this too. So a tweak here and a tweak there has affected the s... | |
| Thinking of adding a sub---maybe not? Thanks for the suggestions---I'm going to definitely check out the SVS subs! I had a passive Canton sub back in the day with 2 tiny satellite speakers with my Denon PMA 757 amp. I could shake the dishes in the kitchen in my old house. Fun times! LOL | |
| Lay Off the Newbies! I have a younger friend in his teens that has just starting to get into audio---he has a hand-me down stereo from the early 90s. To him, it's the world. He's starting to buy vinyl now and has started asking me about updating his stereo. I find it ... |
