| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions The inner sound amp would be perfect and right in your budget. They are great sounding amps and it nice that they sound as good as they do and don't run super hot and draw a lot of power at idle. I have had the esl 300 and now the dpr ref 500 and ... | |
| Looking for DAC suggestions If there was a way to stretch the budget just a bit you could get a PS Audio perfect wave DAC mk II. I've seen new ones for sale with the sound bridge for 2700 right here on audiogon. This DAC is supposed to compete with DACs at any price and it s... | |
| Dyanudio Xeo 3 Wow I am wondering the same thing. If there were more input options I might consider them for my main system. I could imagine we might see bigger and better versions of these in the future. For someone looking for awesome sounding uncluttered hifi thi... | |
| Looking for DAC suggestions Wow what a cool girlfriend you are. Do you know if he has a preamp or does he need a DAC with volume control to directly connect to the amp? You could get 10 suggestions here that might all be good I would suggest the bryston BDA 1 personally if h... | |
| Which speakers should I get. $500-$1000 Need to know the amp you are using that synergy is the most important part | |
| New Music Recommendations 2012 I happened across a new group (I think it's just one guy) called Borealis Self titled album. It's pretty awesome if you like electronic music it's worth checking out. It's the album with the spine on the cover | |
| Rack/shelf for albums - suggestions please The expedit is fine and will hold LPs no prob but yes you do need to attach to the wall. I bought one and repainted it in a few different colors and replaced a couple of the shelves with walnut it looks awesome and you can't even buy the raw mater... | |
| DAC /pre Advise NEEDED urgently A benchmark DAC would be good it has a volume control and could be used as a preamp. | |
| Waterlogged Thiel CS-3.6 No way you could get a used pair around 1000 I've seen them lots of times or upgrade. 2000 just for cabinets is not money well spent. | |
| Changing racks from Grand Prix to home made?? Wow some great responses here. After thinking this through I think I will keep one 4 shelf grand prix rack and put the rest like the hard drive and computer in a modified sideboard. I am hoping that not having my power conditioner on the rack isn'... | |
| Quad 21L2 vs Dynaudio Focus 140's??? Dynaudio is much better to my ear than quad. I own the powered quad monitors as well as a number of Dynaudio speakers including the new Xeo and the Dynaudio sound is much more natural. I would describe the sound of the quad as rather bright. They ... | |
| What is the best sounding DAC at $2000-$4000? I have never heard one but the new PS audio perfect wave II from what I've read sounds like it would definitely be worth checking out. Beyond that my best sound has come from a bryston BDA 1. The benchmark DAC for much cheaper isn't bad at all eit... | |
| What is the best loudspeaker for a small room? I would go for a mid sized floor stander or a bigger sized monitor on a stand. I've messed around with all kinds of speakers in my bedroom that is about the same size and a mid sized floor stander will give a lot of bass at least in my room it doe... | |
| Why don't you like Mageplanar speakers? I had a pair of 3.6 for a while and also spent a good deal of time at a friend's who had the 1.6s. I personally don't care for them above all because they are so big in size. You really do need a dedicated room to get the most out of these, they n... | |
| WHICH ONE TO BUY? You don't need separates. On a budget an integrated amp is definitely the most bang for the buck. If you could swing around 1000 a used integrated like the Creek Destiny or Sim Audio i5.3 would be a cornerstone of a great sounding system. There ar... |
