| Music Server - The Search Begins I’m a fan of separating my storage from my Dac and my renderer / player - that way - the individual components can be upgraded or replaced if needed. I’m very happy with a dedicated QNAP server networked in another room - many size choices - you... | |
| This is juvenile... If I didn’t have to hear the singing - or if you can actually call her a singer ! I’d have to say Jennifer Lopez | |
| Help with advice for high end speaker cables for my system! I should have mentioned above that I’m using the Deulund diy speaker cables with ML CLX and ML stage - with a pair of Spectron Mono Blocks & I’ll likely never buy another pair of OEM cables -With the IC’s I made - I used KLE Harmony rca ends a... | |
| Help with advice for high end speaker cables for my system! Another vote for the Duelund diy route - I tried this wire based on a lot of comments on this forum and others - ended up selling a 1500.00 set of XLO signature speaker cables - and couldn’t be happier - have since built some IC’s and replaced K... | |
| "The End of The Road" It’s a very long road and you never know what’s going to run across in front of you. I thought a pair of ML CLX - with a pair of ML Descent I subs was it - so I threw out the boxes - Still very happy with everything I’ve built around these spea... | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 Like the Vandersteen's they miss the size restrictions & WAF may be an issue. Martin Logan CLX are hard to beat with most of the other criteria mentioned and can be had for less than 10K -- add a sub and they are fabulous | |
| Pre and Amp Suggestions I can second the Spectron class D amps - start with a single unit and add a 2nd one when funds allow for a mono block set up with tons of power - add a Modwright LS36.5 dual mono preamp to provide a tube flavour and you have a great match - especi... | |
| How do I find an audio advisor who does home consultations? I went through this a few years ago - I posted an ad on Canuck Audio and had a quick response from a very knowledgeable audiophile that was willing to help me out if I covered his gas expenses for travel. Needless to say I jumped at it and it pro... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? Slightly off topic - but Martin Logan CLX have no cabinets and they certainly sound fine - i think HDF makes the most sense if you are looking for consistency - eapecially when cut and prepared with CNC machinery - i dont see how they can match t... | |
| turntables If you enjoyed that tt when you used it many years ago - and the rest of your gear is similar in quality ( in other words - you haven't had upgraditis for the past 30 years) - then a new stylus is likely going to get you where you were - and that... | |
| Warm, lush and dark ... Dac up to 1.2K +1 on Lampizator Amber | |
| Tech That Flopped! Sony Betamax Spent a lot of time borrowing CD's from the library 35 years ago and putting 4 albums on a L750 tape - PCM digital taping on the cheap - still have two players gathering dust | |
| which is better? Stereo Amp or Monoblocks? Mono blocks proved best for me I had a chance to buy two spectron fully speced out amps to drive a pair of ML CLX that required a lot of voltage at higher frequencies - I bought the first one to evaluate the performance and ran it on stereo for... | |
| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! I've had similar issues more than once - the first time - I narrowed it down to the cable tv box - so I just don't have it hooked up anymore - but to nail it down - I removed every component from the system one at a time - power as well as any ... | |
| Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12? I have an LP12 that I bought about 18 months ago - and had most of it pretty much maxed out with upgrades - Radikal power supply, standard Ekos tone arm (not se) Keele suspension Circus bearings etc. I had it set up by a Linn dealer - and use ... |
