| My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey Looking at your pics on imgur it appears your towers are pretty close to the back and side walls which can hinder sound quality and may have contributed to some of your negative in home demos assuming similar placement. As others have mentioned, t... | |
| How long is too long for interconnects? I have a strange setup with my integrated amp in a recess behind my wall-mounted TV above the fireplace. My equipment rack with my digital and analog sources sits in the right corner of the room connected with 5m (16.4ft) rca cables. My tower spe... | |
| Please recommend a receiver/integated/seaprates for JBL studio 530. There is a used Denon DRA-355 on ebay this morning for $55. FYI | |
| Best DAC for my system? I have a node 2I and bought a used Benchmark DAC2 HGC from a member here and am very pleased. Just my 2 cents. | |
| Looking into speaker upgrade/change? I can't make a comparison to the other speakers listed but I love my Revel F208's. My Arcam SR250 doesn't seem to have any problems powering them for what it's worth. | |
| These seem a bit pricey $$$ You can"t reason with crazy. People don't seem to lose the effort to try though. | |
| These seem a bit pricey $$$ I’m trading in my Revel F208s for some $200 floor standers with the same design philosophy... Then I will have them "tuned to my ears"... | |
| Question on how DAC’s work... I guess I'm in the "MQA indifferent" camp at this point. | |
| Question on how DAC’s work... I have a node 2i feeding into a benchmark DAC2 HGC. I don't notice much a difference on MQA tracks anymore. As others have stated, the node does the first unfold into the DAC. The MQA tracks seemed more impressive when I streamed straight from the... | |
| Hunt for new floor standers My dad has a pair of ML 60XT towers and they are great sounding speakers. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. At the current $900/each clearance price they are a great value. That being said, I have a pair of Revel Performa F208 towe... | |
| Importance of phase and timing optimization when incorporating sub woofers ? Is anyone else just paying attention at this point to see the interaction between erik_squires and millercarbon? It's like waiting for titans to do battle. | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! Beastie Boys "Paul's Boutique" is one of my longest continual front to back listens. Over multiple media types over the last 20 years. Steely Dan "Aja" because its great. Doobie Brothers "Toulouse Street".Several David Bowie albums.Fear "The Reco... | |
| Items for sale without remotes. OP makes a good point. I havnt used a stock remote in 15 years or so but I have every one and have always included them when my gear moves to the next person. | |
| Which amp would you go with I just recently acquired an Arcam sr250 which I believe has a very similar if not the same internal amplifier as the SA20 integrated. It does a great job with my Revel F208 towers. The class G Arcams are heavily class A weighted (the first 20 watt... | |
| Arcam SR250 vs Emotiva XPA 2 (gen 3) Thank you both for the info. Maybe I will be selling the Emotiva sooner than I had initially anticipated. |
