| Three favorite LP’s I have some 5000 LPs, mostly classical and jazz (and some classic rock) I have collected for the last 50+ years. Asking me to list my three favorite LPs is an impossible task. Even if I could come up with an answer, it might be very different a da... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence serie @gabriel123 I heard many times that Dynaudio requires a lot of watts You want a high current amp, capable of delivering large peaks on demand. The rated WPC matters less. Not all high WPC amps really deliver the goods. I use a Naim NAP 300 DR w... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence serie My dealer bought the last four pair of Contour Legacy from the U.S. distributor. I bought one of those pair yesterday. After one day I like them better than my Confidence C2 Platinum, and they will get even better as they break in. I bought my C2s... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence Alternatives @mofimadness did you mean Dynaudio "Contour" Legacy? Oh, yeah. My bad. It's the Contour Legacy. I need to write my posts before drinking an Imperial IPA, not after. LOL They are coming on very nicely. I just put them on streaming all last nigh... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence Alternatives I just bought an open-box pair of Dynaudio Confidence Legacy this morning at a massive discount. After just an hour or so I love them, and might even sell my Confidence C2 Platinum. Waiting to see how they shape up after the Esotar3 tweeters have ... | |
| Weiss dac 204 mk1 On the Naim Community Forum you can flag the last post in that closed thread and ask for it to be reopened. I've done that before. Assuming you're a member. You still won't be able to message the user. You'd have to post to the thread and flag the... | |
| Musical Heritage Society LP's My father was a subscriber and I have his collection. Some are great, some are so-so and some are terrible. Many were not produced by MHS but licensed from Erato, EMI, and other labels. Most of that collection I have is in boxes in the closet. I ... | |
| Talk to me about CAT 6 in wall cable Cat6 works just fine. My whole house is wired with that, and I get mine from Blue Jeans Cable. It's Belden cable, properly terminated. The only place I have Cat6a is in-wall running from the first to second floor of my house. I had electricians in... | |
| Question for the older folks- did you ditch vinyl when cd arrived? Then something was wrong with your setup. Vinyl LPs don’t lose bass response with normal use. I’ve never heard that claim before. I was just listening to my copy of Alfred Brendel playing Schubert piano sonatas on the Philips label. That album is... | |
| Question for the older folks- did you ditch vinyl when cd arrived? @pkthesublime As vinyl ages the first thing to drop off is the bass No, it does't, not if you take care of your records, keeping them and the stylus clean and tracking in the recommended VTF range, and replace the stylus when worn. I've been... | |
| When to replace turntable belt? The belt on my previous Clearaudio Innovation is about $100, but I just replaced it every year. I upgraded to a Master Innovation a year ago. Same belt, but it came with two so I am off the hook for the next year. I suppose I could get by waiting... | |
| Record to break your lease. The 2-LP vinyl reissue of Pines of Rome and Feste Romane last year with Seiji Ozawa and the BSO on DG's The Original Source series is quite impressive on my system (with a six-pack of REL S/510). It also includes Fountains of Rome. | |
| Question for Weiss 501 Owners I have a Weiss DAC501-MkII and use the Roon and Qobuz Connect service endpoints it exposes on its own ethernet input. I have a WiiM Pro to use on the rare occasion I want to stream an Airplay2 source (like YouTube on my laptop) to the dac. When ... | |
| Question for the older folks- did you ditch vinyl when cd arrived? When CDs came out I thought they sounded like crap and didn't even buy a CDP. I have an Arcam DVD player I can use as a CDP, but no longer use it. If need be I could use it as transport into my DAC, but have only ever done that once when someone c... | |
| Your turntable history @yoyoyaya I've known plenty of Naim owners to move on to other brands. I already upgraded from a Naim phono-stage to Boulder, from a Naim streamer to a Weiss DAC, and from Naim Fraim to HRS racks and isolation bases. I still have a Naim 252/SCDR... |
