| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Just finished a Pink Floyd session. Started with Animals, then Dark Side of the Moon, Wish you were here, and ended with Meddle (side 2). Time for bed... | |
| levinson 26 to replace adcom 565 "What cartridge would you go to..."? That's a very good question. And the answers are very, very subjective. Part of the answer is going to be driven by what you mentioned about setting up two SL1200's and potentially dabbling in DJ/Mixing. I'... | |
| Turntable Quandry Not knowing what you are using for cabling, I would say your turntable would be, by far, the weakest piece followed by the Ortofon cartridge (assuming it is the 2M Black and not the Cadenza series.) Just my 2 cents... | |
| Marantz NR1200 with Emotiva BasX A-300 Yes. The Emotiva should turn on with using the powerstrip configuration with the 12V power adapter. | |
| levinson 26 to replace adcom 565 Nothing wrong with going big on the upgrades. Me personnally, I'd go with the Levinson over the Bryston, especially if you are looking at the 532H amp. Keep in mind that you may not hear much or any improvement until you upgrade the Adcom amp. ... | |
| Marantz NR1200 with Emotiva BasX A-300 You can, but you still need to have something to trigger/turn on the power from that eBay power supply. The key is still the power button on the Marantz. If it is a hard on/off (i.e. if you turn the Marantz on and then disconnect the power, when... | |
| Marantz NR1200 with Emotiva BasX A-300 I don't see either a 12V trigger in or out on th e NR1200, so you don't have a direct method. There might be work around. You might be able to use two smart outlets and turn both on with a programmed routine. (i.e. with Amazon Alexa outlets... ... | |
| levinson 26 to replace adcom 565 canefanmd, Without knowing anything about you or more of your history in this hobby, please forgive me if I come off being condescending. I have been in this hobby since I was 15... and I'm 61 now... (I hate being old...) With a $3K budget, you... | |
| levinson 26 to replace adcom 565 canefanmd, At the risk of opening a big can of worms, it might be time to step back and look at the overall system. But since no one has responded to you in 3 days, I'll take a crack at it. The Adcom GFP-565 and GFA-555 are a solid starter syst... | |
| Streamer question Agreed, very nice DAC. In case you didn't know, if you go to the RoonLabs web site, under the "About" menu, you can see the different manfacturers who have "Roon Ready" devices. You would be looking for what Roon shows as a "bridge". If I rem... | |
| Streamer question How big is your music library? The Bluesound Node is rated at over 200,000 individual tracks. Roon is supposed to handle 100,000 but I have seen posts that say they were getting more than that. Would also help to know what the rest of your equ... | |
| Streamer question Chris, this should be pretty simple. Since you are streaming from the Internet, I'm assuming you have at least a wireless network setup. What you need is a Roon "Endpoint", ie the streamer, to connect to the DAC (or bypass the DAC and go straig... | |
| Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up Bill, you forgot a step. Walking into the backyard at 2 in the morning, staring at the stars, and cursing the stereo gods for tempting you into this hobby! I feel your pain. I recently moved into a new house and was psyched that I could finall... | |
| The best customer experience I've ever had...... Two people/companies I can think of right off the bat... Richard Schram at Parasound (before he sold the company). He picked up the phone on my tech support call and spent 45 minutes talking to me about what direction to go with preamp/amp. P... | |
| Thinking of a Schiit Freya + and Vidars, to Power Martin Logan ESLs and something that is helpful on positioning ML electrostatics, what they call the flashlight method.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsBUFCsyP4s |
