| Advice on the best DAC to match with an Aurender N100 Love my N100H with EMM Labs DA2 Ref. Will probably upgrade to W20 next year but enjoying for now. No grain here and using an Audioquest NRG4 here | |
| Mark Levinson pre-amplifiers The speakers are so personal I’d hate to lead you astray. First time I heard the d3s I liked the older d2s better but the d3s weren’t broken in at all. Next time I heard d3s they were really very good. That said ... I’m a wilson guy and I really l... | |
| Mc Levinson vs McIntosh 601 I had the 601s for 4 years and they were great. Recently replaced them with the 536s. Very close but the 536s did have better focus while maintaining the very large soundstage that I loved with the 601s. George | |
| Mark Levinson pre-amplifiers I have compared the 326s to the 523 then went to a 52 Ref. In short the 523 is much more detailed than the 326s and has a much larger soundstage. 523 won for me. The 52 Ref is better yet but I’ll give the 523 high marks as much closer to the 52 th... | |
| Mark Levinson 326s Shutting down Congrats!George | |
| Audio Research Reference 6 or Mark Levinson Reference n32 I had a 326s and compared it to the Ref6 and would have probably gone for the Ref6 until I heard the No52 Ref. That ended the debate and now have the 52 driving a new pair of 536s. Magic!George | |
| IS THE MARTIN LOGAN Renassance 15A worth the $10,000 higher cost than the Expression 13A What did you decide? I am going to compare the two this weekend. | |
| Speaker cables for Martin Logan's Actually my wife suggests I spend more on Audio each year ... in her mind that increases her budget on jewelry! Ouch! :-) | |
| Speaker cables for Martin Logan's Renaissance and GS150 .... Limits? Really? I think I like those limits! Great system BTW!!! | |
| Speaker cables for Martin Logan's Speaking of the Renaissance I use AQ Oak between my ML Renaissance and ARC GS150 with great success.Did you listen to the Redwood or higher (any of the Silver cables really) and just like to Oak better? I've heard some people do think the Oak is t... | |
| Mark Levinson 326s vs 320s I did and bought the No326s. Much more separation between instruments, more detail without sounding bright in any way. Biggest difference though to me was the size of the sound stage. More stuff going on outside my speakers and if recorded this wa... | |
| Speaker cables for Martin Logan's I'm using Audioquest Aspens with good results connecting my MC601s to Ethos. Looking at upgrading possibly to the Renaissance this spring and will re-evaluate cables if I make the change. Can't wait to audition. | |
| Wilson Audio Haters I think a lot of people want to believe that they chose the "BEST" because of how much they spent for it and want to feel justified in the decision. People also like to complete and want to own the very best of everything. The wonderful news is th... | |
| High end vintage vs contemporary DAC's - are sonic improvements real? I had a Mark Levinson No 360s which did up to 96K music and really was very happy with it. They can be had today around $2500 so I compared that to the OPPO 105d that I bought for my theater system and I have to say the Levinson was much better in... | |
| Audio Research - DAC9 I am now at 85 hours on my DAC 9 and it is sounding amazing so far! I went from the Mark Levinson No360s which did 96k files from oh so many years ago and did them really well but the DAC 9 has so much more info in the midrange that its not compar... |
