Topping D90 bass bloat? The Topping has a volume control so I would try connecting the Topping directly to the amplifier. Interesting to then listen to see if it still sounding bloated. Synergy in a system sometimes is elusive even when your mix of equipment is top notch... | |
SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? Okay I saw the link missed it the first time. I had a few of those speakers on that list. The OP's Yamaha N-1 speakers are especially highly regarded. Personally if these (OP) speakers aren't having any issues to speak of I would keep them. I am... | |
SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? @grislybutter "lot of incredible speakers that are better than what you have for under $1000" So just wondering are you familiar with either of the speakers the OP mentioned. Seems like they are both highly regarded just doing a quick google s... | |
SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? Welcome to Audiogon! Sounds to me like you have a nice (albeit) Vintage system. If it still sounds good I would change a thing. One suggestion is maybe adding an inexpensive Steamer / Dac and trying out Tidal or Qobuz to stream a plethora of Ne... | |

New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be @traubr Well I guess I didn’t read your original post throughly. 😁 I mean you have new Focal Kanta 2 speakers. Could it be they need to still break in? Those seem like very nice speakers! I just bought some Polk R200AE Anniversary Edition o... | |
New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be @traubr If you have another room. I would suggest putting together a second system that is a dedicated 2 channel system. For $3K you can put together a very enjoyable musical system. Starting from scratch on a modest 2nd system should yield bett... | |

All speakers have a little EQ built in How about single driver speakers sans any crossovers. I think there is a purity and simplicity there that is another avenue to pursue. Your hearing also has some inherent frequencies deficiencies especially as we get older. The pursuit of audio ... | |
Whats playing on your system today? @mitch2 Listening to the Shelby Lynne trac as I am typing, very nice! 👍 | |
Vinyl is back for good and that’s exciting @rdk777 $6 in 1976 = $32.08 in 2023. I don’t know how old you are but I remember paying $6.00 for an album and thinking it was a good deal. If you look at the conversion $6.00 back in the day to the equivalent value now - $30.00 (believe or n... | |

No sneering Please Without question I love the sound of the 3255 amp chip. To my ears it just sounds right. I have several Aiyima A07s one of the first small inexpensive amps with this chip. I Immediately enjoyed the sound and continue to do so. I have replaced two... | |
when your hearing is not as good as it was . . . Check out speakers like a Martin Logan's with a Folded Motion Tweeter. I have a pair of ML 15i and they seems to keep the hi frequencies more noticeable as compared to a soft dome tweeter. Electrostatic and Magnepans speakers will also be an imp... | |
Tidal or Qobuz Tidal or Qobuz The answer - Yes. Or which ever one suits you best. |
