| What are you streaming tonight? Eric Clapton - Crossroads IILots of nice old live takes.Tidal | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Ok, we’ve come a long way now but I believe my recommendation for the XTZ Edge amp is not a very bad one. Nice start with class D for rather small money. Handy thing to bring to your friends. | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? @elizabeth Believe we have. Just don't necessarily need a 7k dac for that :-) | |
| Some components too old now? Miss my Sentec Diana DAC, looked for it for over a year, used it to my Quads -63 (still in the wardrobe), must be somewhere... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Linda with Aaron one of my long-time favourites. Some tracks a little bright though (when you play high high volume). Aaron's "Warm your heart" is one of my references. Came across the group Wayfaring Strangers also. Lots of recordings of that tra... | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? @ audioengr Jitter is not the real problem today. Bad recordings are and probably will always be. | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? Overpriced I think would be when a company have choosen a price for its dac product so that they will show a smaller profit or eventually loss on that product compared to a better outcome if it was priced lower.Maybe we should talk soundvalue? Thi... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @ yyzsantabarbara I’m interested to. There’s so many "effects" in that track. Can you say what time it starts? She harkles after 11 sec and prepares to sing after 19 sec and start singing after 40 sec. Is it somewhere there or is it later? The who... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @ jackd + Wavelet. Now, this is interesting. Didn't know of. @yyzsantabarbara No love for Legacy speakers? When testing the Lyngdorf room correction I would advice you to try the different built-in eq curves. I mostly listen to the one named "Ope... | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? My advice would be to get yourself a DAC with also preamp possibility (volume control) and built-in streamer (Tidal). Bluesound Node 2i and Teac NT-505 would be fine with Teac more expensive. The Node 2i has a usable active crossover. Will you hea... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels +3 This may be a good year :-) | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Very curious of what you end up with. Please keep on posting. Would give a lot to hear those speakers. They're a bit different I suppose. Not sure why you got such a bad impression of the Lyngdorf. Find their amps (I have the 2400 model) very neut... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @gdnrbob It’s not about that at all. It would be quite impossible. It’s about giving the speakers a chance to present their best, mostly in the bass and low-mid were the room interacts the most. I mean - they were not exactly build to play music i... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels There is also a RP-1 Lyngdorf unit, which is a preamp with DSP, EQ curves and crossover. No amp. No DA. I use it a lot. You may find one used for a little more than 1K. No manual dsp setting though. Or have a look at the more expensive DEQX. I als... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) Why not some (new?) music to crank up your systems:Lukas Nelson @ Promise of the Realyes, son of Willie..ATC EL150A...wow! |
