| miniDSP with separates or Arcam SA30 or NAD C658 plus beefy power amp? I'm running the 658 into a Wyred For Sound St500 MkII. Couldn't be happier. I can recommend the 658 without reservation. | |
| NAD C 658 DAC I think they're still working out software bugs, like most companies do with complex computer driven products these days (Apple for instance). I think it's a stellar unit. Really sounds amazing, and interface with the BluOS app is great. I don't r... | |
| NAD C 658 DAC Follow up: apparently the latest update switched the one subwoofer setting to the opposite sub out. Apparently the prior software had the single sub going to output 2. So if anyone else has the problem, just switch the wire. | |
| NAD C 658 DAC Anyone have their subwoofer output stop working after installing the Dirac Live update? Mine just did. | |
| NAD C 658 DAC I purchased the C658 a couple of weeks ago. It sounds amazing, definitely better than the Blusound Node 2 that I was using previously. Phono stage also sounds really good. Using it to feed a Wyred For Sound ST500 amp hooked up to Kef LS50's. Cryst... | |
| Burson Bang: anyone? Went with the Sprout 100. It's very, very good, right out of the box. Definitely a bit brighter than the tube amp it replaced, but very clean, very clear, plenty of power (pushing Monitor Audio Bronze 2s). Nice wide soundstage. Tried phono, analog... | |
| Nuforce STA200 The Elacs really sound better with this amp than the Monitor Audios. The Monitors are really bright, almost harsh and grainy. Had to swap them back out. | |
| Nuforce STA200 Not necessarily surprised, just wondering if anyone had similar experiences. My Cambridge CXA80, also 80 watts, handles the Elac's easily. There's just no info out there about how the Nuforce handles 4 ohm speakers. The Nuforce has been fine with ... | |
| Nuforce STA200 Quick follow up: swapped in Monitor Bronze 2 speakers (8ohm, 90db). Amp is hardly breaking a sweat. Really think it does not like the Elacs... | |
| Nuforce STA200 Thanks. I suspect it's the speakers. No problems with a Cambridge CXA 80 driving them but the Nuforce runs pretty hot. I also have it in a cabinet without enough ventilation and was really running it when it happened. Going to add ventilation and... | |
| Nuforce STA200 Hi, anyone have one of these amps shut down for overheating? Do they have thermal protection circuits? Mine cut out--was pretty hot. Let it cool down and it came back on. Driving Elac Uni-fi UB5 speakers--4 ohm. Very little info about these amps o... | |
| Where to start? New to Analog Project Debut III and Schiit Mani. I bet they would make you happy for quite some time and wouldn’t break the bank.Could also get a U-Turn Orbit with built in phono stage starting around $250. | |
| Best phono cartridge under $350 Yeah, Ortofon 2M Blue. I also have a Grado Reference Platinum 2 and I finally love it, but it took a lot of fiddling to get it set up right. | |
| VTA and Subsequent SRA of Grado reference Platinum 1 cartridge Hi Sam,I have this cartridge and until recently I didn't like it. Had a hard time getting an adequate high end out of it. I played around with VTA and tracking force. Raising the rear of the tonearm helped some. I finally spent some time getting t... |
