| Ordered my new amp today... been a long road! Same first thought | |
| This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio! Just added a Schiit Modi Multi DAC via BJC digital coax to my Oppo 103. Was hoping to reduce the slight brightness of the 103 that I hear in my system. I was not disappointed. Very happy with my Freya and now the Modi Multi.Tom | |
| New CDP or standalone DAC...? Did the first listening comparison yesterday. Picked one of the brightest, harshest songs in my CD collection. Saturday Night's (Alright For Fighting) off the Elton John compilation album Number Ones. Low class C SQ rating. I rank all my CDs from ... | |
| Anticables Love the sound using Anticables speaker cables and ICs. Clean, clear and open. Slightly, very slightly tipped up from neutral in my treated, dedicated room, and in my system. Bi-wired from a Vincent SP-331 to Vandersteen 2Cs. They are more robust ... | |
| Monitor Audio Silver 10 OP- did you pull the trigger yet on the MA 10s?Tom | |
| Looking for Room Measurement / Speaker Setup Software Jim Smith's book Get Better Sound is very helpful for getting the speakers and listening seat positions correct. | |
| New CDP or standalone DAC...? Just got the Schiit Modi Multi, getting a BJC digital coax today. Will be using the 103 as a transport. Plan to do some listening comparisons starting tonight. | |
| Oppo 103 comparison with an Ayre Codex Interesting. I have the OPPO 103 and am in search of a slightly warmer sound. Just got a Schiit Multi Modi to try as an outboard DAC connected to the 103. Should know something this Saturday.Tom | |
| Day vs all in one pre amp dac Hello OP, have you decided on anything yet? FWIW, I'm using a Schiit Freya and just got a Schiit Modi Multi today to use as an outboard DAC for my OPPO 103. Will be doing A/B comparisons this Saturday. Listening notes to follow.Tom | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans @tomic601 - you are indeed a gentleman. Very generous offer.OP- Richard Vandersteen voices his speakers using AQ cables. That being said, I'm very happy with the sound of Anticables (also solid core).Tom | |
| Best mid priced Amp-Preamp Schiit Freya pre, Vincent SP-331 amp. They sound wonderful together.Tom | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music Might be worth the effort. My 2Cs sit 9" from front wall, 7' apart, and 3' from one side wall, 3.5' from other. The bass is much smoother when the rear-facing acoustic coupler "couples" with the front wall. My listening seat is 11 feet from plane ... | |
| Help in choosing first higher ended dac? That's a lot of money for a DAC, IMO. What speakers? Also, don't forget the room and setup. Any room treatments? If you haven't already, order Jim Smith's book Get Better Sound. It is invaluable. Remember, your setup and the room will give you 50%... | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music The best speakers for listening to blues are the same speakers for listening to all genres of music. Vandersteen model 2s. From the late 70s to current day, they are very relaxing to listen to for hours. Holographic imaging because of 1st-order cr... | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans I had the 1s decades ago, and am loving my 2Cs for the past several years. Driven them with a Denon (100W/ch), Krell (150W/ch/8 ohms/300W/ch/4 ohms) and currently a Vincent (150W/ch/8 ohms/300W/ch 4 ohms). Clipping never happened, the only differe... |
