| Does the Devore Fidelity Orangutan 0/96 speaker play rich and full bodied at 50 Decibels Well I've been trying not to weigh into this discussion but... While I've nothing against highly efficient speakers and have often thought it would be fun to play with that kind of setup along with set amps etc it's not what I've got at the moment... | |
| FREE HIGH-END AUDIO SETUP CONSULTATIONS Thank you for the clarification, wish I could afford the Lina but I'm not quite there yet! 🙂 Looking forward to your next article. E. | |
| FREE HIGH-END AUDIO SETUP CONSULTATIONS Thank you for that informative post colossalsound, could you expand on why you would first invest in upgrading a steamer vs the DAC? For example I'm running a Blue sound Node 2i. Compared to the rest of my system it is certainly the weak link by... | |
| Turntable Hum/Howl Issue (moved and reposted) I’m no expert, but it sounds like you’ve eliminated pretty much everything except the needle? Do you have a spare you can swap in? E. | |
| How long should components last? Leaving out mechanical failure I don't see any electronics typically failing. Certainly not something costing thousands. I'd question why - possibly your electrical service could be suspect - spikes or brown outs of power can play havoc with ele... | |
| Help! Looking for a DAC with some unique ablities... Thanks everyone for more good recommendations. @oberoniaomnia and @panzrwagn - great discussion, and this train of thought (is there any degridation due to digital volume control) is why when I was playing with the Blue dude settings I figured I... | |
| Help! Looking for a DAC with some unique ablities... Morning all, thank you for the suggestions! In the meantime in talks with a friend I found out I made a mistake - the Blue dude can do volume control as long as you don't set "digital pass-through" on. So that means I can use it as a streamer and ... | |
| Help! Looking for a DAC with some unique ablities... Thanks for the suggestions, so I understand correctly, I can connect the blue dude as a streamer only utilize coax for example connect to the Holo Cyan and it has an app that I will allow me to change the volume out the balanced outputs? In the ... | |
| Review: Mad Scientist White Magic Interconnects Morning all, I normally don't weigh in on these kinds of discussions but today it struck me I wanted to toss in a thought. Bare in mind I've not played with fancy AC cords to date. So the AC is delivered to the wall socket on a 14\2 wire (typica... | |
| New house, wife reveals she hates my Maggies- looking for stand mount speaker suggestions I'll muddy the waters with a not so common option - the Nico Evolution by EgglestonWorks. I have the Andre 2 by them and your description of what you love to hear is what my speakers blow my mind with. I'm sure their stand mint option will not dis... | |
| ??? Which Would You Buy ??? So I don't see why there's a discussion about amps really. Before you can really start to look at a specific component have you ruled out everything else including speakers? (If so I missed that part of the thread! Apologies!) While keeping in min... | |
| Tube Pre-amp Suggestions. Quite happy with my Luxman CL38uc -it's at the top of your budget but you do see the odd one come up for sale. Tubes if you're that. I like the combo of a tube preamp and ss amp. If I've a complaint it's the lack luster remote for what that's wort... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget Enjoy the hunt! The journey is half the fun. And I'd suggest not rushing or worrying about finding the perfect speakers right away. Having said that I've had\have Wharfedale speakers, Axiom, Polk, enjoyed them all. A good friend has Bryston and t... | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? End of last year I bought a used pair of Eggleston works Andra speakers. Based on their sound I'm guessing any Eggleston works speakers (for what you're talking about you could go with a smaller speaker from them) would foot your bill. Definitel... | |
| Egglestonworks Andra I & II question for those with a lot of knowledge  Thanks Ozzy, so yes, what you describe as the Andra II is exactly what I have. I can only assume mine are the original version upgraded to the second version. Hopefully someone who has experience with upgraded original speakers can confirm what ... |
