| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative Find a speaker you love (BS, floor, stand). Give it a good run through with your favorite tracks. Then get a Rel subwoofer, spend a little time blending it in. You will get the best mid-bass and low bass. If you have high pass options on your main... | |
| MQA is for chumps Fuzz”Well and good except for the MQA has your money in the form of the license fee. They have mine too and I’ve never even tried it, even during a crappy Tidal trial.”Same here. Doing a Deezer trial now - so far so good. Should be interesting to ... | |
| Looking for a turntable around $1k... As a Rega Planar 3 (newest revision) owner,I’m settled for now. The spacer recommendation I saw earlier is likely required for many carts. An Ortofon 2M Re is not a good recommendation however. Look at a a 2M Bronze (better engine and superior st... | |
| Have I got the wrong amp? or the wrong speakers? With 88dB efficiency, and an older Akai, I’m guessing you are clipping, or at least driving high distortion. Maybe a new Integrated Amp?Take a look at Parasound’s options.A good, smooth amp with those speakers would be nice. Also, take a look at a... | |
| KEF reference line revamp ?? My *old* Kef Reference 3.3s still blow me away (with a Rel sub). Had them since around ‘80. A pair of Q150s for rear surrounds. | |
| Which amplifier should i buy Take a listen here before you jump into huge mono-tubed heaters 😜😂😂Parasound Halo JC 1 PlusI get the tube romance, as every guitar amp I own is all-tune. | |
| Reccomend a good preamp for me. Take a look at Parasound JC 2 (now including HT bypass). | |
| MHDT Labs Orchid DAC review Nice review. Most DACs will outperform the stock Node 2i. The ESS in my Parasound P6 (optical or coax) does a decent job, and easily sounds better then Node 2i. The charm of the Node is the simplicity and with some limitations, the app interface. ... | |
| Gripped By Upgrade Fever Sounds like the addition of a well-crossed over subwoofer would add to the LS50 impression. I’ve had one or another form of biamplification since I can remember. I love the Kef sound, sold many in the past, and would replace my existing, aging Kef... | |
| Stirring Up Trouble Awesome discussion all. Yes, I read it all and was entertained as well as provoked to pull out my Watts collection and revisit. I will listen on my 40-something year old speakers, cables and Monster interconnects. | |
| For a few dollars more MC, love the old Clint Eastwood references 😜😂😂Are you feeling lucky? | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Some old vinyl is just that... poor mastering, poor recording process, and worse, too many pressings per... I have a few direct disks that stun me regularly with their presence, detail, and sheer impact. My secondary-favs are some digital recordin... | |
| Qutest + Node 2i coax issue Definitely worth the setup time. I have a N2i and a Vault 2i also. Both coax and optical work well with my Parasound’s DAC with either coax or optical. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Back in ‘77, I home-auditioned a small pair of KLH speakers. They had a promo where they sent you home also with a Sheffield Lab record (SL13/KLH)It was Amanda McBroom vocals with Lincoln Mayorga, Doug Sax and that crew Stunning all around. | |
| Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?” John Curl Parasound gear. Anyone here have a rake on this? |
