| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? I guess there will always be new boxes to buy, but will they actually sound any better or are we done now! I mean, it could be argued that the Cambridge Audio CD2 I owned in the 80’s hasn’t really changed much (in sound) from the Cambridge Audio 8... | |
| Ideas For A Beefy Solid State Amp For Subwoofer Duties UPDATE:Well, I came home with a new toy on Monday, a Crown XLS2502 power amp.Last night was spent making some major changes. Pulled the plate amps from two Aerial SW-12 subs. Was relieved to find that behind the plate amps was a sealed enclosure w... | |
| members and their systems Since I don’t have any kids I feel it’s fair to spend their college fund on audio gear. And since I’m very potent, I reckon I could’ve knocked out at least six of them before I killed myself. | |
| Ideas For A Beefy Solid State Amp For Subwoofer Duties Interesting comments.@russ69 it’s been on my mind, the point you make about lightweight amps with lots of watts, versus heavy hitters weighing 100lbs that deliver a lot less power, at least on paper:)I suppose SMPS help in this regard, but yes...... | |
| Ideas For A Beefy Solid State Amp For Subwoofer Duties @wolf_garcia Yes, good point. I don't want to hear fans..not the spinning variety. | |
| Phono Stage, How much do I need to spend, New or used. iFi Audio iPhono 3 would be my recommendation for a good starting point, for a $grand, new.if you have more in the pot then anything from Allnic Audio should deliver, assuming you’re not averse to tubes. Haven’t heard the Herron phono that people ... | |
| Origin Live company support Fantastic products - never had an issue with communication, all going to OL owner Mark Baker. Brits tend to be a bit caustic. People of few words mostly, except when dealing with the French.I think if he said 'can't help you, no parts available, b... | |
| Does This 'Black Box' Exist, If So, What Is It? @boss302 Hey there Bossman, how's it goin!?Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that line before and the specs seem a good match for what I need.You still in MadTown?Rooze | |
| Preamp thoughts- Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 V McIntosh C2600 @jond Thanks for the link. I did own the TA-1000 preamp at the same time as the Thor monoblocks, and whilst it's an excellent preamp, particularly for the low $2k's that it seems to fetch, it isn't the best preamp in that price range by any means... | |
| Does This 'Black Box' Exist, If So, What Is It? Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like a close fit, though spdif and aes/ebu would be nice without having to add another box. I guess this is as close as I’m going to get. | |
| Audio Mirror vs Prima Luna tube DAC There's a review of the Tubadour SE III using the Aurender N100H as source and compared to a Moon 380D, so it might be helpful for the OP. Jump to page 2 of the review to get into the comparison.https://audioresurgence.com/2020/05/audio-mirror-tub... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? I have a simple compromise solution that mostly resolves my issues with the Make-an-Offer system.If an offer comes in that’s not acceptable to you, for whatever reason, just hit the ‘Decline’ button right away so that the person making the offer c... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? I just bought an integrated amp using a straight Buy it Now when there was a Make an Offer option.It actually felt quite good?!! | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions $2000 (pre-rabbit hole tire kicking edition) I heard a Sound-Smith phono at Cap Audio Fest. You'd expect it to be good, and it is. Comes in well under your budget too. | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? @verdantaudio Offers are interesting and I guess it comes down to your philosophy. I respond to all offers as quickly as I decide. I have let one sit for a day because I was pondering it. Automated rejects would be nice but then again, I like d... |
