| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room @northman Working with a good audio dealer is excellent advice. My local dealer is really good and that matters if you have questions, problems or upgrade or down grade | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Black Sabbath Paranoid | |
| Power cords or power conditioner I enjoy music and have tried power cords and power conditioners. I had a furman power distributor- perhaps more of a surge protector than conditioner. Then I tried Shunyata Venom NR10 power cables on my DAC/ network player and I perceived an i... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin and all is good | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Listening to Dire Straits, Pink Floyd and thinks some Metallica S&M may be next | |
| How many turntables have you owned? 3 Dual CS 515 Rega RP1 Rega P8 | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? In my experience preamplifiers are as impactful as a source. I added a McIntosh C2600 versus a NAD C375 BEE integrated AMP and it was very noticeable and frankly reinvigorated my listening habits. | |
| McIntosh C52 to C53 Upgrade @mgattmch I think stay with the C52 as long as you can. I had C2600 and listened to the C2700 and the DAC module was the primary difference. And the DAC wasn't the key value for the unit to me...it was a it's function as a preamp with a phono st... | |
| Looking for Speaker Recommendations Listen to as many speakers as possible. I prefer silk dome tweeters - B&W, Focal and others can irritate my ears after long listening sessions. Devore Super Nines are speakers that really impressed me when hearing a Boulder integrated amp. ... | |
| Listening after your entire system was powered off cold for a week+ I do notice better sound when system is on as well as when it’s ‘up to temperature’. Though it could also be I warm up into listening too! | |
| Best Way To Connect A Bluesound Node I used to have a Node2 and C2600 preamp. I found my best experience was ethernet cable to Node and I tried both optical and coaxial to the preamp and didn't notice a difference - I used optical. I preferred the DAC in the preamp over the DAC in ... | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps I don't have the challenge you have. I would encourage you to give Moon a listen. I had McIntosh tube pre and SS amp. I upgraded to Moon 390 pre-amp/network player and M400 monoblocks. I notice I feel like I'm listening to music at lower vol... | |
| Turntables I have a P8 - it is an excellent turntable for the money and as with all Rega's isn't something you can upgrade as easily as other brands (VTI, Linn, etc.). I expect the P10 is an upgrade specifically because of the tone arm. I chose the P8 over... | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? I purchased HRS Isolation platform for my Rega P8 (It may not be the same as installing a shelf on the wall) | |
| Simaudio P8/W8 or Latest 740P/860A???? Interested party - I have Moon’s 390 and M400 monoblocks. I’ve heard brand new 740P with 860v2. The 860v2 is impressive in the dynamics, control and detail without being analytical. |
