| System Rebuild Everyone will finally mention how much your room affects the sound. The Lyngdorfs with Room Correction will have a major effect. I would team the Lyngdorfs with the speaker of your choice. | |
| Integrated amp + DAC + room correction all-in-one for Nola Boxer 1 + REL R328 sub I i recently bought a Lyngdorf 3400 to replace a Mark Levinson amp and preamp and high end DAC. Couldn’t be happier. The Room Correction is awesome, plenty of power for PSB Imagine T3s. Pretty amazing product. | |
| Best audio companies and dealers VPI, Bryston. | |
| How do I find an audio advisor who does home consultations? Years ago I swore that I would never buy another component without auditioning it in my home system and I’ve consistently broken that promise. If I had to give anyone advice now, it would be to find a set of speakers that please you in your listen... | |
| Integrated amp + dac for Focal Lyngdorf | |
| WI-FI ROUTERS and Modems. BEST!! brand and why. I use Roon through my Core computer and Bryston endpoint to my Lyngdorf integrated with DAC. The Core is Ethernet thru an extender and the Bryston is Ethernet thru my router. To obtain the highest sampling rate outputs, Ethernet is necessary in my... | |
| what can reasonably be expected of a seller? I’ve had good luck overall, buying and selling. Feedback is crucial. Communication is crucial. Verifying performance is crucial. | |
| Please evaluate my system... One of the biggest upgrades I’ve made was the Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC. | |
| Best of the best Integrated amps in 2018 I’ve got the Lyngdorf 3400 on order. I think the inclusion of digital room corrrection may make it a valid contender to anything you’ve mentioned. That is, if you don’t mind spending less. | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers If it were me, I would listen to the new Sonus Faber Guarneri Tradition. It’s predecessor, the Evolution, is a fantastic speaker and I would think the Tradition would be similarly great. If you could find the Evolutions discounted, even better. | |
| Best cartridge under $1500. I’m really happy with the Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC. Right at $1500. | |
| Phono stage I just upgraded my Dynavector 20XL to a Soundsmith MIMC. I was using the phono card for my Mark Levinson 326s preamp. I upgraded to a Sutherland 20/20 phono preamp. The Sutherland is better, but my major improvement came with the MIMC cartridge. | |
| Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio? It's new when it's sealed in the box, period. If the box is opened, then it's virtually new, opened only to take pictures. If you bought it, used it a week, it's not new, period and it's 9/10. I've taken pains to represent everything I've sold acc... | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP No one has asked about your listening habits. I’ve considered tubes but the fact that they need an hour to sound their best and the fact that with solid state I can leave on 24/7 usually means I’ve stuck with SS. | |
| SS Integrated Amplifier that would sound good with the PSB Synchrony One B I’d go with the Plinius. |
