| Technics SL-G700 SACD\Network Audio Player It is sweet looking. Curious how sq compares to similar-priced competitors. I'm interested... | |
| Best budget preamp for my entry level system? Might consider the Schiit Freya + (the one with the tubes). I have one and love the sound.Tom | |
| Bose 301 modifications If they still make sound, I wouldn't do any mods to them. Your daughter wouldn't notice the difference anyway, and I bet she will be thrilled to have them as is. IMO, your free time could be spent more productively.Just my 2c...Tom | |
| This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner OP- just looked at the Mac link. I love it! Hope it sounds as it looks. If I had the cash, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.Tom | |
| This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner @audiofound- welcome back! Yeah, Macs are a polarizing brand like Vandersteen, Magnepan, B&W, Pass, et al...Love em or hate em for some reason. Beats me.Fwiw, I like em.Tom | |
| Need compact end of life audio system to shoehorn into a corner of a compact living space Headphones. | |
| Confused Musical Presentation Agree with room treatment. I’m using Primacoustic panels purchased from Sweetwater Sound. No affiliation, just a happy customer. | |
| Oh, oh,,, what did I touch? I’m glad to know I’m not the only one to do stuff like that! The office staff or my wife has to help my computer “skills” frequently. | |
| A moderate priced dac Another + for Schiit. Mine is the Modi Multi. Sounds wonderful. | |
| Recommendations for a new integrated amp for Vandersteen 3a speakers OP- if you don't do 3A sigs, then I would agree with others about getting Belles, Schiit, or MF. IMO you can't go wrong with any of them with Vandies. I also would recommend Vincent, because that's what I'm using with my 2Ce Sig IIs and it sounds ... | |
| Recommendations for a new integrated amp for Vandersteen 3a speakers Agree with wlutke above suggesting get the Sigs | |
| SACD Player--Do you use it and feel you'd replace it if it broke? jbhillerGood answers already. My POV is that some SACDs do indeed sound better than redbook, but the most important factor is the quality of your DAC, whether in a CDP or standalone plus transport. My suggestion would be buy the best-sounding gear... | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? Another vote for Vandy 2Ce Sig IIs. Phase and time correct, first-order crossovers, excellent customer service. Nothing else does soundstage and imaging better. | |
| How to get HDMI audio to Schiit Freya You might consider a Schiit Modi Multi along with your Schiit Freya+. I am very happy with mine. | |
| It takes time to get the stink out of your ear Never happened to me either. Maybe the OP played another bad recording after the first? |
