| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like Responding to twoleftears' post: I had a hum in my AX550, still under warranty. It wasn't that loud, but not normal. I sent it in to the new USA distributor (Luxman USA). They did a fantastic job repairing the unit - great service from my persp... | |
| Any experience with Tannoy loudspeakers? I have the Kensington's. I agree with Mulveling on the recommended toe in - baffled is a good word (because presumably the manufacturer knows what they are talking about). They did not seem to image well when I tried it. My room is 21 x 14 and ... | |
| Bowers and Wilkins D2/D3 with Class D Amps? I should have clarified, I am curious about all of the floorstanding models in the 800 series, not just the 800s themselves. | |
| SONY HAP1Z as alternative player/streamer to DAC Sfseay, how much trouble is it changing out the HDD to SDD? They'll probably keep getting cheaper, so definitely worth considering. I got my Sony back, there was nothing wrong with it - turned out my computer ran an update and then blocked the ... | |
| SONY HAP1Z as alternative player/streamer to DAC Goheelz, yes, I was using the Sony with the Bryston - it sounds good so far but I need to do some more serious listening in the future - just set it up the other day but then sadly (or, ironically given this post) it stopped taking in new files fo... | |
| Oppo 205 and external DAC? I'm running my 205 into the Bryston BDA-3. I bought the Bryston almost purely to test what differences there might be. The differences are very subtle (as I believe most digital sources to be) but noticeable. The two DACs are similar enough tha... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Thanks Prof for the information. This is useful for me since most of these are speakers I would be interested in but will probably never hear -seems we have similar tastes. Since you are from Canada I assume there's a chance you have experience w... | |
| Tannoy Turnberry SE vs Kensington SE - Semi Review No, I have not. I would think they would be quite similar though. You mention the 'smaller' cabinet but they are very close, 100 liters vs. 105 liters volume if I remember correctly. It's almost like they were trying to make the Kensington more ... | |
| best way to connect pc to dac Steve N., are you saying that the "noise" carried by the USB cable corrupts the bits that the "receiving system" decodes, or are you saying the noise enters in to the "Receiving system", bypasses the decoding function (because the USB interface on... | |
| Audioquest Perfect Surface Metals I received a prompt reply from AQ yesterday from a person in the Netherlands, no pictures though as Joey suggested. I thought this was interesting though. They also directed me to a white paper ("do no harm") on their website which says some of... | |
| Audioquest Perfect Surface Metals Tom, good suggestion. I sent the following to AQ:Hello, I own several models of your cables and am considering upgrading. Can you explain (or provide pictures for #2):1) Is PSC long grain copper that has an improved surface, or does PSC start ... | |
| Audioquest Perfect Surface Metals Agreed, they are absolutely allowed to make a profit. I am not questioning how much it may cost them to make these different metals or their cable pricing schemes. Or even whether it makes a difference in sound quality. My point is since they d... | |
| Budget American made speakers? +2 Tyler Acoustics! Excellent value and sound/build quality. | |
| Is there a real difference in sound between Media Servers (without built-in DAC)? Why would two units putting out the same bit stream sound different than one another? Isn't it the DAC(s) decoding the bit stream that would sound different? Or are some of these servers doing some internal processing to the bit stream? Is ther... | |
| My JL Audio sub is dead. What exactly happened? To be fair to JL, I still have the same sub I mentioned in my March '17 post. To recap, I am on my third one now. This time my dealer replaced the amp with a new one sent by JL almost a year ago, and I have been using it a lot with no problems s... |
