| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! @jon2020 “So you are comparing MQA 96 to non-MQA 44.1? A more valid comparison would be between MQA 96 and non-MQA 96 PCM.”Why? I’m looking for an improvement over cd quality streaming. I agree that MQA may not be the equal of high resolution down... | |
| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! Ptss - When I read your questions it sounds like your asking about the "intent" of the format, not whether it sounds better or not. So to answer what I read as the intent of your questions: Yes, I do think MQA is a processing algorithm that was cr... | |
| When you suddenly realize.... Agreed! Access to essentially unlimited content is fantastic. Sitting here right now listening to music I probably would never have discovered otherwise. | |
| Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated....... Dave,The top plate of my AS300 will be warm but never really beyond that. All the speakers I have used with it have been fairly easy loads in the 6 to 8 ohm range and 88 to 91 db efficient.Don | |
| Budget American made speakers? +1 for Tyler Acoustics. Great speakers and Ty is a great guy. | |
| looking for a new pre/amp or integrated amp As mentioned previously your best bet may be going with a home theatre receiver. Granted you won't need all the channels of amplification but they can meet your other requirements. Yamaha RXA3070 fits the bill on just about everything you're looki... | |
| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? My equipment rack. | |
| Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated....... Good news dhpek. Enjoy! BTW silver or black? | |
| Martin Logan Montis vs Magico S1 vs sub with Micro Utopias Mcintosh does seem to be be a popular pairing with ML but I plan on sticking with my Yamaha AS3000 integrated if I were to go with the Montis. I have really enjoyed the 3000 over the past couple of years with its slightly warm, spacious, and detai... | |
| Martin Logan Montis vs Magico S1 vs sub with Micro Utopias That does help. Thanks for your comments. Don | |
| Martin Logan Montis vs Magico S1 vs sub with Micro Utopias Tomcy6 would you describe the Montis as full bodied or more neutral? I don't think I'm as concerned with deep bass as long as the sound isn't thin. As you allude to the dynamics of the Montis may in fact be good enough based on my listening prefer... | |
| Martin Logan Montis vs Magico S1 vs sub with Micro Utopias Thanks audiotroy. Actually I have a local dealer who sells the Paradigm Personas and had the opportunity to listen to them locally and at Axpona last year. In fact that was the very first room I went to in Chicago. Not sure why, but I wanted to lo... | |
| Martin Logan Montis vs Magico S1 vs sub with Micro Utopias BTW I should also mention that with the exception of a sub in my previous home theatre I don't really have any experience trying to implement a subwoofer into a music only system. I did have active speakers in the past with limited success. Than... | |
| Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated....... @almarg Thanks for following up Al. I will contact Martin Logan next week. From reviewing the owner's manual on line it appears the Montis includes a 3 prong IEC connector. Thanks again and happy New Year.Don | |
| Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated....... almarg - Your comment really got me thinking about subwoofers connected to the as3000. I knew not to connect a sub via speaker level inputs simply because of what was stated in the owners manual, but I have been considering upgrading to Martin Log... |
