| Stand mount speakers to replace Magnepan 1.6’s @sml19 -- its a medium sized living room, about 15' wide by about 24' long with vaulted ceilings and partially open on one side to a dining area. I brought the 1000s over from a smaller room in a prior house. Ohm recommended the 3000s for me at th... | |
| Recommendation Tube Integrated If you want a good amp at a great price, check out the VT-70 (35 w/ch from EL-34 outputs) for $1,300 and their VT-150 (60 w/ch from KT-88s) for $3,000. I had a VT-70 and it was an excellent amp. They are only available online from Underwood HiFi. ... | |
| Better desktop DAC Since you like it so much, why don't you just watch the used market until another Teac NT-505 shows up? | |
| Stand mount speakers to replace Magnepan 1.6’s I used to have a pair of Maggie 1.6QRs and had to sell them after a move to a new house with no suitable room. After a couple of experiments, I've settled on a pair of Ohm 1000s. They give great sound without having to be far out into the room, s... | |
| Pending shipping questions. Pilot Freight is now owned by Maersk. Have you tried contacting them? See https://delivers.maersk.com/contact/. Also, what does the seller have to say about this? | |
| Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer? As has already been commented on, your complaint seems to be about the software control interface, not sound quality. I'd second the suggestion that you try the WiiM Pro first since it has a great software control interface that you can run on you... | |
| Phono preamp, all suggestions welcome Schiit now has a higher end phono preamp, the Skoll, for $400. I don't have a phono setup anymore, but I am very, very pleased with the sound quality of the several Schiit items I've bought. Great sound at a very good price. | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? @emergingsoul -- so, what does the above response have to do with your original question regarding the availability of used equipment and the responses to that question from others? You make it difficult to take your posts seriously. | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? There is a ton of used quality equipment available. Where it becomes difficult is when the shopper is unwilling to be flexible and only wants a very specific make and model. Things get worse if they limit their interest to a specific version or, f... | |
| Roon Aquisition: Will This Help Or Hamper? My guess is that they'll continue honoring the lifetime membership as respects what it currently does, BUT come up with new features that you'll have to pay for separately if you want access to them. Just a thought.... | |
| True high-end Speakers need a midrange I get all the volume, clarity and off-axis performance I need out of my Ohms, which have a single driver for bass thru treble. Their tweeter doesn't cross over until about 8 or 9 KHz. | |
| Help with streamer software I don't have an Airlens, but the specs do say it is DLNA ready. There are lots of apps that support internet radio via DLNA. Perhaps approach it from that angle. I use Logitech Media Server and it integrates my local collection, internet radio an... | |
| Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college If you are just streaming, check out a Wiim Mini or Pro as the streamer and look into AudioEngine speakers. Good performance at a great price. I set up an office system with a Mini and the AE B2 and connect them with Bluetooth. The B2 is a one-box... | |
| Can you touch the tubes? I suspect the white glove thing ties back to someone with a bad case of OCD and a good imagination. I've worked with tube gear for over 50 years now -- building, repairing and using -- and never had a problem handling tubes with my hands. No tube... | |
