| Grimm findings on streaming audio I'll buy an extra Marantz Reference CD/SACD player, maybe a spare transport, and no worries in this lifetime. At least I won't be held hostage to a bastardized music source. | |
| Upgrading System...Help/opinions on Parasound and others? Given your fondness of the Marantz CD player, why not get the Marantz 8006 integrated. I had a 8005 before I bought their Reference gear and found it to be a great integrated. I preferred it to a well regarded 200wpc hybrid power amp | |
| Dead Bluesound Node 2 @mahler123I agree with you on the streaming for exposure to stuff you really like. While there are incredible buys on CD box sets (avg cost $1-2 per disc) it is not often that all these discs are frequently played. Remember when CD's went for $1... | |
| Dead Bluesound Node 2 I'll stand by my comments. I like the shiny disc. I like the jewel case. I've never lost data. Yes, a CDP can break. It can also be repaired much more easily then the above members gear. (Heck, I can do most repairs myself. Pretty easy to in... | |
| Dead Bluesound Node 2 Exactly why I do not feel motivated to move beyond my CD's. All that work, here today and gone tomorrow. There comes a point when technology is the master and not the servant. | |
| Good 2 channel receiver Don't cheap out. Get the Outlaw and be happy.....for a long time. | |
| Good 2 channel receiver Check out the Outlaw RR2160 receiver. Looks like an overachiever and a bargain. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 i - Amp suggestions Regarding the Van Alstine 400R--tried that with the 1.7's years ago and sent it back. On paper it looked to be a great match but in listening, I way preferred a Marantz integrated! Was never able to relax and let the music wash over me in a way ... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers that have to be up against the wall In my primary dedicated listening room, imaging was a priority. So, yes, the speakers are well out into the room with perfect symmetry. And the imaging is fantastic.In a second system I don't have the ability to position speakers much off the fr... | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage The sound stage you desire is less a function of the equipment and more a function of how you set things up. Your room is problematic in several ways, but I would suggest the following (which worked great in a 13x15 ft room I once had). Place ra... | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" @mac48025 Very much looking forward to your thoughts on this speaker Tom. Suspect it will be a very nice match with your electronics and would not be shocked if it outperformed the SE's in some areas. I like the idea of your tubed gear driving ... | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? Tekton. | |
| What loudspeakers do you have your Primaluna amp paired with? agreed! | |
| What loudspeakers do you have your Primaluna amp paired with? My PL Dialogue HP is paired with VSA VR-33. It's a very nice combo. Rich yet detailed, with very nice sound staging, I really enjoy this in a second system of mine. The simple first order crossover works well with the HP. While the VR-33 is ra... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @vidiot33 My hat is off to you--that's quite a read. Perhaps not War and Peace, but still an accomplishment.Many pages back there was an individual who had space issues and went with the Impact Monitors. He actually bought a pair of REL sub... |
