| Alternative to my P3ESR I've heard that the Chesky Audio LC2's are incredible. And they fit your budget. And they'd be new. | |
| move to a floorstander from Harbeth? Not the OP but I appreciate the ATC feedback. Just want to wish everybody on this thoughtful a Happy New Year!!! | |
| move to a floorstander from Harbeth? Well, time for another .02. I've had the 30.2xd's for 4 years or so. I have the itch to upgrade. No sensible reason. The 30.2's are phenomenal. For acoustic music, guitar, piano, vocals, etc. in my apartment, within my budget, I haven't hear... | |
| New Preamp or go Integrated I'll give you my .02. I was in a similar situation. Personally, I don't want separates anymore, been there and done that for 30 years. I moved from a Pass INT25 (had for about 4 years) to a MA352 about 4 months ago. A huge difference in sound.... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Just got firmware 3.3 update for my innuos zen mk 3. Qobuz Connect works fine now. Nice :-) | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday No luck for me with Qobuz Connect / Innuos Zen Mk3. Innuos Sense works fine as usual (although I can't connect in LAN mode). Tried from Windows 11, Android, and ipad pro, all latest versions. Got me. | |
| Gustard R26 ladder DAC sound signature - comments? I've had the R26 for a couple of months. I don't find it dark at all. I have it paired with my Innuos Zen Mk3, sometimes in USB mode, sometimes in LAN mode. Good USB cable good LAN cable. I do notice that it sometimes it doesn't switch fla... | |
| EAR 834P Deluxe with Dynavector 20 HX H output Cart. I have the 834p and the Dynavector 20x2 L (low output). Ended up selling a $4k solid state phono pre during covid time and never looked back. I did enough research to understand that for best results I needed an external SUT and keep the 834p ... | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio It’s late for me but I couldn’t let this pass without my complete agreement on the integrity and quality of Upscales customer service. I had a really "over and above" customer experience with them a couple of years ago that I haven’t forgotten abo... | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated I’ll never buy anything from D'agostino. Below is a copy and paste from his facebook site, 06/04/2021. I don’t care about his politics, I do care about the way he would potentially treat a significant subset of his customers that might have a diff... | |
| What speakers work with low wattage class A amps Dave and Troy Audio Intellect nj Borrenson and Legacy dealers" "I would expect anyone who is a dealer to know how to spell and pronounce the name of the speakers they are selling. It is "Borresson". Your misspelling does not instill one with co... | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? I just asked my 2 kids, 28 and 31 years old if they have any friends that listen to vinyl. I'm laughing for real; so far my daughter told me that her friends buy albums as artwork. I had no idea! I've bought quite a few recent pressings and lik... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll I made a conscious decision to buy a Pass INT-25 a couple of years ago. 25 watts class A. Sounds good. I like it. I'll keep it. LED bulbs throughout my home however. | |
| NY audio show 2022 It was great to get out to the show. Was a beautiful day in NYC. The show was a 2 minute walk from Penn Station in what I thought was a really nice venue. I saw some old friends, heard some great systems. For me, the Audio Note room was the best.... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? I owned a Rega P3 for years. What a great table! And I think it comes with the Rega RB300 arm? I remember it was a nice arm. A classic. Hope you enjoy it. I also remember that the Rega Elys cart was also synergistic with the system. |
