| Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do? I'll add that I love it too, quality, variety. They are always looking to add more on both fronts. What's interesting for me is that it does not reduce my desire to purchase cd/sacd in fact the diversity of the program allows me to listen to thing... | |
| 2-Way Advice: Magico S1,YG Carmal,Diablo Utopia I would consider the Vivid v1.5....don't be afraid of it's lower price point. I use this speaker on some pretty high end gear and think it is a great overachiever (based on price compared to more expensive speakers). I have had Wilson Benesch , Mi... | |
| Crystal Cable Absolute Dream phono cable Not sure it has to be expensive but...I have a Crystal Cable Standard on my AVID Sequel/SME and think it is great Sonically coherent but detailed. Very low mass which is great for the suspended table. At a lower price point I really liked the AQ l... | |
| Keeping dustcover looking new I keep mine covered with a micro fiber or silk cloth this way not really any dust to remove. If left exposed I always blow off dust first with keyboard duster. Then use a Flitz micro fiber cloth and spray called Plexus. | |
| High quality CD recordings for CD I highly recommend MA Recordings for the quallity of music, sound, and packaging. | |
| upgrade advice from a Linn LP12 I made the move from my LP-12 Ekos, cirkus to Avid Volvere / SME a number of years ago and never looked back (since then added Sequel upgrade). I feel the Avid has all the postive LP-12 qualities plus much better frequency extension, clarity and p... | |

| Tube or Solid State Headphone Amp I am using an IFI Micro ICAN amp with SR 125e and it really sounds very good to me with the Grado. Very natural and easy sounding with a good amount of detail...never harsh. There is nothing at this price to touch it and if you go tubes I would th... | |
| Should I finish my basement Lindisfarne brings up a great point. This risk can be remediated with the proper drainage system, power backup, and overhead sewer. All if this needs to be in place...unless Katrina hits you should then be OK then ...if not don't put the good stuf... | |
| Need to Downsize: Small Speaker Recommendation in the 3k range based on your likes of the Thiels I would consider the Reference 3A De Capo ..coherent...revealing...good bass...you will have to add for a stand...also this speaker is efficient so you could get away with a smaller amp as well...I... | |
| Focal micro utopia be VS Dynaudio C1 My impression of the Micro BE is in my space so I cannot say for sure....for sure though the Vivid is much more coherent and overall a better speaker and certainly in my space. | |
| Amp improvement since 1994? I would say...accessablity to quality tube amps (rogue for example) . Hybrid tube and SS. and alos refinement and acessablity of quality SS as well. | |
| Focal micro utopia be VS Dynaudio C1 i am in a similiar situation with a small room...I had Micro BE speakers and felt unltimately they lacked coherence maybe because the close listening..I cannot commnet on the C1 although they are rear ported which could result in problems if close... | |
| Anything you can put between spikes and carpet? I've had this issue before..just enlarge the hole where the spike is with a leather punch or nail...you won't see if you move the speakers later. This is more stable than putting a heavy slab on the carpet | |
| Headphone amps with remote volume controls Could you use the variable out from the LS26 then setting the head amp to some level and managing through the LS26 remote? |
