| MBL 101e mk 2 Speaker Owners? I used Merrill Audio Veritas amps (Hypex NC1200) for 2 years and am currently using Pass Labs XA-160.5 amps. Much more wallet-friendly and both setups sound superb, with the MBLs displaying the character of each. | |
| Merrill Audio Veritas I bought a pair over 2 years ago to drive 81dB efficient MBLs. They continue to impress. | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? The folks at Pass are great and very responsive to questions. They would be your best source for that info, I would think.BTW, I did not like the volume being set to zero when returning from theatre bypass so they made a special NXP controller for... | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? Reno Hifi will let you demo a Pass Labs XP-10 which is great and in your price range. Good luck! | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners I just backed up the HAP external drive via the network. The NAS files are no longer current as the HAP makes changes and I have used the app to work with the metadata. It takes a while but not as bad as initially installing the music on the HAP. ... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Just thought to add my experience after a month or so with the HAP-Z1...It was very slow and frustrating transferring the library of 22,000 tracks to an external 2TB WD drive. After that, it's all good. Over 23,000 tracks now and everything works ... | |
| Class D Ncore Atsah in the house I own a pair of NC1200 mono amps which I got at a terrific price. Unfortunately, the cost of current NC1200 amps puts them out of reach for many folks. $12,000?! Too bad. Fortunately, you can get a lot of the way there with an NC400 amp at $2000, ... | |
| Oppo BDP-105 audio input question. I am using HDMI and it works well. It's a great gapless multi-channel solution, too. 8 channels of 24/192. Does your MB have HDMI? | |
| Best universal remote control? Harmony One has been the best for me, not available new, I believe, but many around. | |
| Hypex Ncore 1200 I bought Merrill Audio Veritas amps after building NC400s. They drive the MBL speakers (81dB) like nothing I've heard.Do you own NC1200 amps? What speakers? | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers I am using an Esoteric C-03 preamp and MBL 101E mk2 speakers. | |
| World Series Buzz Vuvuzelas? | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers Congratulations! The Veritas' have ended my amp search for sure. I have 81dB efficient speakers and have never heard such control and ease. | |
| DSpeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 I use one, analog-in, analog-out, 150 hz and below, it tightens up the low end and stops 2 peaks at 45 and 70 hz. When I play LPs, it is weird to me to think that everything is being DSPed (24-96, I think) but it is only an improvement to me. | |
| AURALiC Vega Been using one for months, it ended my DAC hunt for now. Superb sound. Tried PSD, Mytek, Benchmark and some others. Try to have a listen. |
