| Music you found on Tidal On the other hand, I listened to Aerosmith - Draw the Line today in the car and it sounded like it was recorded with one of those USB TT using a well worn album. It was so bad I turned it off and settled for silence. | |
| Preamp for Halo A21 and/or B&K ST2140 There were two PV- 14Ls on Agon last night for $800 & $1000 and gone this morning. Damn.Any A21 owners out there using a pre you love in this price range? | |
| Preamp for Halo A21 and/or B&K ST2140 @timlub I think the 851N is a decent pre and excellent DAC. I just think as a pre it's missing some warmth and sounstaging. That is were the A21 is connected so plan #1 is to mate the new pre with the A21. The B&K is my 2nd system and I thin... | |
| wooaudio I saw them a lot when looking for a headphone amp. That may be their specialty. | |
| Please Help Me Choose a Speaker Cable Lol. I'll need to do some research on the mail order bride. I've heard good things ;) | |
| Music you found on Tidal @portlandlay I'm really enjoying it. Much more music available to me now. I'm sure the Bob Seger thing is due to contractual issues between Seger and Tidal. Would be interested to know if he's in Spotify. | |
| Please Help Me Choose a Speaker Cable Wow, I ordered the replacements via Amazon yesterday afternoon and Music Direct delivered them today. I took them down to the basement stereo (rig #2) and did a quick comparison. Immediate observations are they are clearer, more detailed in bass... | |
| Need Wireless Subwoofer Options The JLINKS system arrived yesterday and I hooked it up last night. Very easy. Listened last night and at high volume today. So far, I'm loving it. Some oberservations:I now need to turn the sub up higher to get the same bass, but I think that's... | |
| Please Help Me Choose a Speaker Cable @bassdude Thanks for the review. As you know, I had to send mine back. The replacement cables should arrive early next week and I should have thoughts by the end of next weekend. | |
| Please Help Me Choose a Speaker Cable Thanks for all the recommendations. I sent the AQ CV-8 cables back for replacement. If these don't work out I have many suggestions to try! | |
| Please Help Me Choose a Speaker Cable Cables arrived today and they sent bananas instead of spades. The banana plugs are loose and don't fit real tight. I was able to string them through the speaker stands but it was a real chore and the sharp turn back under the speakers puts extra... | |
| Need Wireless Subwoofer Options @m-db Thanks, but for now I'm going to stick with what I have and use the wireless JLINK system. If the spousal unit doesn't like the wireless locations of the sub then I'll look for something smaller that fits behind the couch.@gdnrbob I'll look... | |
| Need Wireless Subwoofer Options @savdllc I have already ordered the JL Audio JLINK and plan to try it with my Velodyne. I’ll take it from there.@m-db No home theater. TV hooked to 2 channel digital pre (Cambridge 851N). I say no Velodyne because I paid $1k for my VA-1215X 20 yea... | |
| Need Wireless Subwoofer Options @m-db I see a JL Audio E-110, the next step up, for sale on Agon. Would that get me there? I'm thinking not. | |
| Music you found on Tidal I did an A/B test last weekend with a CD and Tidal. Started both at the same time and switched back and forth. Tidal was slightly clearer and more open. As for their selection, I'm surprised at what is missing (Bob Seger) and also at what I fou... |
