| Loud pop/screech when powering on amp +1 on the leaky capacitor. I had the same problem on an old USA Antique Sound Labs 845 tube amp. The culprit was one of the capacitors, but I don’t recall which one. I just had them change all of them out. Then I sold that amp, not because... | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? In my listening experience, component break-in is a real thing. I sent my Krell K300i back to the factory for service and upon return it sounded like crap. Tight, recessed midrange, no bass slam, rolled off/squeeky highs. Yuk. I just let i... | |
| can you help me narrow my speaker cables short list please? Cables are very dependent upon the equipment on either side. For my Krell -> GR Research 24 Speaker cable -> XStatic Electrostats the pairing works well. For my Nad M33 -> Cardas Clear -> Totem Element Metal V2, I preferred the Car... | |
| My experience with The Music Room I bought my NAM M33, Cardas cables, and Triangle speakers from them. TMR takes great care with the equipment and the customers. Absolutely no complaints and I’ll buy from them next time. | |
| Sota Sapphire and Isolation? I owned a SOTA Sapphire from the early 80’s, purchased new from the factory when it was still in downtown Oakland, CA by the Coliseum. Nothing short of nuclear testing in the room would cause an audible issue. That is a fabulous table. I can... | |
| The time has come and I request advice... I have the Innuos Zen Mini Mk3 going into my T+A DAC 200 and I’ve been delighted with the sound, performance, and stability. I’ve run both Roon and Innuos Sense. Both are stable and very good. Roon is a bit more feature rich, and I think Sen... | |
| Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ? I compared the Terminator Plus 12th and the T+A DAC200 and purchased the T+A. Both were great. I thought the T+A was a bit more musical and had a lot more dynamic presentation. I did most of my listening to both in the R2R NOS mode, so I can... | |
| Opinions on NAD please I own the NAD M33; I am quite pleased with it. It is well built of quality components, nice feature set, loads of flexibility, and it sounds really good. In terms of sound quality, I prefer my Krell K300i which is a bit more musical, warm, wit... | |
| Looking for integrated solid state amp for daily usage I own both the NAD Masters M33 and the Krell K300i. Both are excellent and well built. The NAD is a bit more friendly as it also has a Blue-OS streamer built-in whereas the Krell requires an external streamer (Innuos Mini Mk3). Sonically the... | |
| Rythmik or REL Subs to pair with Totem Element Metal V2? I can only surmise, that the 12's should work fine, but they won't dig as deep with effortless authority like the 15's do (or at least they are spec'd to do). A slammer room will constrain the bass you can get no matter the speakers, so you are... | |
| Rythmik or REL Subs to pair with Totem Element Metal V2? I just wanted to close the loop and report on what I did…. Ok, I went with the dual Rythmik E15HP2 subs. Adjustments and controls galore. I can’t imagine being unable to pair these with about anything. Following the Rythmik guide, I had the... | |
| Speaker for 11x12 room +1 on the Joseph Audio. I’d also consider Totem Element Fire V2 or the Fritz Carbon (all used, of course). But that’s for my tastes. What do you want out of a speaker or e correctly, what audible characteristics do you aspire to in your music repr... | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 I just acquired a pair of new Rythmik F15HP2 Subwoofers. I’ve only had them a day. Paired them with my Totem Element Metal V2, which I think share some pleasant similarities with your Sonus Faber. I am very pleased with the various tools o... | |
| Rythmik or REL Subs to pair with Totem Element Metal V2? I’ve been emailing with the people at Rythmik and they are talking me into dual E15HP2 subwoofers. I’ll place the order tomorrow, barring unforeseen problems. Fingers crossed and Merry Christmas to me. And Happy Holidays to you all. Thank yo... | |
| Rythmik or REL Subs to pair with Totem Element Metal V2? Great feedback, thank you. So far, that’s 100% for a pair of Rythmik subs! |
