| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers Wished I had an extra $750k cash lying around somewhere to upgrade to the M9. I currently own a pair of Magico M6 driven by Naim Statement NAP S1 monoblock amps & Naim Statement NAC S1 linestage analog preamp. There’s big jump in price going f... | |
| Chord Dave - Missing soundstage width What what are using for a streamer & a digital cable (USB or coax, etc)? What power cable are you currently using for the Dave DAC and all your other equipments? And what kind of AC power product do you have for your setup? All these factors w... | |
| Just purchased an Anthem AVM 50 to Frankenstein with my Luxman 507 If you configure the Oppo to output LPCM instead of bitstream via HDMI, your processor should recognize it as LPCM digital, not DTS or Dolby Digital. Cause the Oppo is sending LPCM stream to your processor and likewise your processor will recogniz... | |
| Just purchased an Anthem AVM 50 to Frankenstein with my Luxman 507 Gotcha. :)Sorry didn't read the whole thing. My bad. | |
| Just purchased an Anthem AVM 50 to Frankenstein with my Luxman 507 So, you're saying that your Anthem AVM50 does not decode DTS-HD Master Audio & Dolby True-HD found on bluray discs? The AVM50 can't be that old and I would think it would be able to support and decode those lossless HD audio formats on bluray ... | |
| Just purchased an Anthem AVM 50 to Frankenstein with my Luxman 507 I would use HDMI from the Oppo 103 to your Anthem AVM50 processor for movies. | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? @ruraltraumasurgeon You should look into Shunyata Research speaker cables and they lean towards warm smooth and will mate well with your Wilson Sasha 2. Transparent speaker cables will also pair really well with Wilson speakers. | |
| Sonus fabre Venere s I guess the Venere S could potentially sound good when set up right. ProAc, Audio Physics, Harbeth, Spendor, ATC make great speakers and you should highly consider them as well. | |
| Sonus fabre Venere s I once heard a pair of SF Venere floorstanders in non ideal setup environment at Magnolia some 5 years ago of so and wasn't that impressed but again the speaker placements, electronics and room acoustic were far from ideal. the speakers were in th... | |
| Classe vs. Anthem vs. Parasound Agreed with ps. I wouldn't pair Anthem amps with the Focal. You would need warm rich full bodied sounding amp and electronics and cablings to pair with the Focal. | |
| B&W 802D3 Agreed that demoing or auditioning at Magnolia/Best Buy is far from ideal. I wouldn’t go to Magnolia/Best Buy to demo or audition to anything. Even in their reference 2ch room they use Sonos streamer as a digital front end source for their high en... | |
| Pass Labs or Devialet I personally like the Pass better than the Devialet but it all depends on your speakers and other associated gears (your upstream electronics such as your front end source components). Not familiar with your Pioneer speakers. | |
| Classe vs. Anthem vs. Parasound The Classe CA-5100 had been discontinued ages ago like some 15+ years ago. It's impossible to get it brand new. The seller must have lied to you. The Classe CA-5100 was an old amp or I would say an older Classe Delta series amp and was an entry le... | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica iii Sonus Faber would usually pair well with Audio Research & McIntosh. | |
| McIntosh Mx151 vs. Krell Foundation vs Arcam AV 860 @redphu72 Would you need or care for supports for 4K HDR pass through hdcp 2.2, HDMI 2.0a or Dolby Atmos, DTS-X in a HT preamp processor that you are going to get? Did you already purchase a pre pro yet since this is an older thread from 2017. Cau... |
