| NAD M2 with Sonus Faber Cremona Ms Donjr - First, the OP did not originally say that $2,500 was his price point. He just pointed out what he was considering. I doubt he set that point based on optimal sound but rather on financial considerations. Which is fine. I doubt he compared ... | |
| NAD M2 with Sonus Faber Cremona Ms Rlwainwright - Please calm down.I like NAD gear. This unit has good specs, although from the specs I cannot tell how it handles a 4 ohm load, which is what the Cremona M specs give for its nominal impedance. I would just like to see a spec other t... | |
| NAD M2 with Sonus Faber Cremona Ms Some used options for integrateds currently for sale hereAyre Ax7e - Ayre is usually a good match with SFBAT V300xConrad Johnson CA200The Ayre does not have as high a power rating, but may do fine. You might want to find a Ayre/Cremona dealer and ... | |
| NAD M2 with Sonus Faber Cremona Ms You are proposing to drive a set of $10K speakers with a $2,500 integrated (list). I hate to say, but I think these speakers need better electronics. The C390DD seems to be 150 watts at 8 ohms and 150 watts at 4 ohms, although the NAD specs seem t... | |

| Linn Linto and Ortofon Rondo Red Here is the original Stereophile review. Obviously, they liked it a lot.Stereophile Review of Linn LintoThe review discusses the loading issue. Linn decided that a loading network introduced too much noise into the signal.I agree with Larryi that ... | |
| Linn Linto and Ortofon Rondo Red The Linto is a very fine phonostage and was Stereophile Class A rated for years. I believe it is out of production. It is very neutral and has a very low noise floor. The one criticism people had was that it does not have variable input impedance ... | |
| Well-produced recent jazz cd's - recommendations? Flies under the radar, but try I Have A Room Above Her by Paul Motian with Bill Frisel and Joe Lovano. This group played together in the '80s and did this album in 2005. They are all famous in the own right. Motian was the long time drummer for Bi... | |
| center speaker to match Sonus Faber Concertino? Marc - I am surprised you could find 3 of them. Congratulations. What do you think of the Piccolo? The Walls were part of the Home series and I think have the same drivers as the Concertino Homes, although as I said before I do not think they have... | |
| Good USB DAC for Desktop use around $100-$250? MwTech recently announced a new hiFace DAC. I have not seen much about it, but you might want to take a look. $295, but Type A USB. Goes up to 32/384 in case your dog also listens to music :)I like my HRT Streamer 2 for my office system, but have ... | |
| My HRT Music Streamer HD DAC is a game changer Mitch2 - no offense taken. As I said, I am very happy with my 2 Streamer IIs and I do agree that Dudley is the odd man out on this discussion. I do wonder if there was something else going on in his system that was adding to the problems he report... | |
| My HRT Music Streamer HD DAC is a game changer I have a Streamer II in my office system and like it, although the system is not for critical listening. I also have one in a system in Europe and again like it a lot. I have not heard the HD. I just thought I would pass on the Stereophile review ... | |
| My HRT Music Streamer HD DAC is a game changer Art Dudley reviewed this DAC in the June Stereophile. He found that the top end was a little harsh but praised its openness clarity. I believe he used the DAC without any additions. In the end he preferred the Hadide DAC HD. | |
| What's the best way to soundproof a room on budget They recommend 2 tubes per 4x8 sheet. Green Glue has their own website with recommendations and pricing. 12 tubes is about $150. It is not cheap, but works better than just using straight dry wall. I used in the ceiling of basement when I finished... | |
| What's the best way to soundproof a room on budget Nsgach - sorry, just providing ideas. If you do it your self, you can do these projects pretty cheaply. But I do agree that double walls and the like can be expensive if you have to pay someone to do it. In fact, I said that a double wall was not ... |
