| Here comes the solar maximum. I did not. Is that relevant? | |
| Here comes the solar maximum. Will our equipment be safe? Do we need to take some precautions? | |
| Diversity of opinion over what I also remember the prior JM labs as being analytical and fairly bright, even for my taste. I think that is possibly the cause of the disparity of opinions in this case. I could not live with those speakers easily without a front end to tame them.... | |
| Magico, Aerial, Dali The Dali is a tremendous speaker in its price range that will probably work well with your equipment, IMO. I owned the 400 (not mk2) for many years with different front ends and it is tolerant of mediocre equipment, but responds nicely to a better... | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Jdub, I am not commenting from complete ignorance --- I have an Oppo95 in my system. I have also had many higher end players in my system including Ayre, Gamut, dCS, and models from Esoteric including my current K01. The Oppo is outstanding value ... | |
| Do your speakers have enough "freshness" Agree with many of the descriptions of 'freshness' put forward above. I think it is a term that can encapsulate a few of the more typical audio terms in one word. It is obviously not my term but when I heard it, it worked for me. | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan I stand by my comment. It will not compete with the upper eschelon players, and why should it at its price? It is a fabulous machine offering tremendous value and probably competitive well above its price range. | |
| Fuses that matter. After reading much of this thread, the question is: To re-fuse or refuse? I was skeptical about many things in audio that I later came to believe, but this still sounds unlikely to have a major effect, especially directionality. Maybe still worth ... | |
| Do your speakers have enough "freshness" Thinking about it now ..... I often have the lights low, music on, and a nice glass. Maybe I should make my move and give them a hug. Its hardly a first date, but a threesome is somewhat daunting. | |
| Your jaw dropping cables My jaw dropped when I saw the price of Odin. | |
| Good speakers under 10K. Depends on your room and amp. Subject to that, I think Dali Helicon 400 mk2 is a speaker that has attributes that closely match what you are seeking. Try the 800 if you have a bigger room and powerful amp. | |
| How do I feed Internet Radio to my rig? I have a very good stand alone internet radio so i have no interest in that. How does it best connect to the DAC. I have USB, coax and optical inputs. Must it be located at the DAC or is there a way to set it up operating wirelessly? | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k Thanks Mapman, I found your comments about the 'flavor' of Triangle and Focal to be accurate. | |
| Focal 1038 BE impressions? recommended to me They are very good speakers for their price but they are not better than the Diablo in terms of transparency and soundstage. Tweeter is really good. Some prefer the 1028 to the 1038 so try that also. | |
| Esoteric P-03/D-03 or Esoteric K-03 Jimmy, what is your experience with the Dynalab internet radio played through the Esoteric K01 DAC? I am looking for the right way to listen to internet radio through my rig. I would also like to listen without switching on the K01 at times. |
