| Improving sound of Marantz SA-8260 SACD PLAYER I used the dac on my old onkyo cd/sacd player circa 2010 for years and thought it sounded wonderful. I tried a benchmark dac1 back around that same timeframe to compare and did not think it was much if any improvement to the onkyo so I sold it. ... | |
| Good Achtung Baby CD? I got a bad one. Seems to me what you remember from your original tape is the US release. I would look for an original US release CD or the 2011 remaster. I understand your frustration I have some cd's I rarely listen to and have tossed some out. | |
| Do you trust Audiogon? I would need more information than the OP has provided since according to him " Some of them involved proposed violations of banking laws" and then after reporting to audiogon the items are still for sale. For the OP's information to PROPOSE to V... | |
| What is best as wall plug : HMS Furutech Oyaide please Hospital grade will grip your plugs better than residental grade. I don' t get the overblown hype on recepticales. I don't discount people saying they hear a difference but is that due to the receptical or human nature? Try a hospital grade they a... | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality Perhaps I am wrong not the first time but I assumed the OP was looking for better 2 channel audio for music to use with his 2.1 video system. In this case I would run the video to the TV let the TV do the video not bother with switching through th... | |
| Are Audiophiles "Simply Guessing?" I know I would be guessing. 16 bit 44 khz is good enough for me. | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality If you don't have an amp you might consider the Parasound HINT6. | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality You might be able to get a P7 a little cheaper though. | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality The parasound P7 is 7.1 and the P6 is 2.1 the P6 is a newer unit with DSD and usb inputs if those are needed. | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality If you already have an amazing 2 channel amp the parasound halo P6 would do all the rest. | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 Since room perfect is one of the selling points of this amp what's your opinon of it after running room perfect? To give the amp a fair assesment I would do everything the amp is capable of. It's like saying you're underwhelmed with a tube amp aft... | |
| Micromega M-100/150 field reports I know Paradigm isn't a well thought of speaker but I am sitting here listening to the Moody Blues and this is the best these speakers have ever sounded. The room correction on this thing is wonderful or these speakers are better than I remember.... | |
| Micromega M-100/150 field reports I got curious and looked up the app for the ipad/ iphone on my wife's ipad and found it has had a steady update path since the initial release in 2016 the last was in Feb 2018 making it compatible with the iphone X. The android app has never been ... | |
| Micromega M-100/150 field reports Jriver did the same thing to mine as BubbleUPnP. I have to reflash the network firmware to get the M100 recogized whenever it gets lost. I would think it's a bug in the M100. If they get around to that as quick as the android app it might get fixe... | |
| Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo I use an old onkyo sacd /cd that has a wolfson dac which always sounded pretty good. I also have an old pioneer dvd/sacd that has been in a closet for a few years it has a good sound as well I think it had wolfson. Only thing about the pioneer it... |
