| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... I agree. And two is better than one. REL makes great subs. The high level connection is, in most cases, the way to go.I just posted in another forum about how I dialed in one sub (T5i) for my system/room. Essentially, put the sub in your liste... | |
| Help with direction The Heresys will work well with the old Macs. The Magnapans will want more power. Both speakers will benefit from integrating subs.The Macs are an odd choice. They certainly look cool, and sound fantastic with the right speakers, but there is ... | |
| How do you know what a good speaker is? For the most part, all speakers designed for HiFi are "good" speakers provided they are in good working order. What you really need to determine is "what's good for you." Consider your room size, application, and listening preferences. If you a... | |
| Schiit Bifrost vs. the original Peachtree Dac-it Fidelity to what? What the mastering engineer hears? Then hook up a pair of Auratone 5c speakers and listen in an anechoic chamber.With notable exceptions, most engineers master for the average consumer. No matter how it is mastered, all record... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming Just get the steaming service and be done with it. I have a "family plan" from Tidal with 5 users, so it comes to $6 month/user. I am by no means wealthy, but that is a trivial expense for me.I just recently subscribed to Idagio. So far I have ... | |
| Schiit Bifrost vs. the original Peachtree Dac-it mzkmxcv: that accuracy agenda is out the window as soon as the recording engineer hooks up a mic. Accurate to what? The natural tone and timber of the acoustic event? The engineer's concept of how it should sound? The artist's vision of how h... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Yourself and your family and friends.Records and playback systems have only been around for 100 years or so. Before that, we made music ourselves. Nothing is as musically satisfying as sitting around with family and friends making music and sing... | |
| The awakening... Ami,Sorry, friend, but as I see it you are the very definition of "audiophile"! You have spent many hours researching and assembling your computer, you likely spent considerable time researching your speakers, then you had to put them together. ... | |
| Schiit Bifrost vs. the original Peachtree Dac-it mzkmxcv: I agree with you. But my "Mimby" has been oodles of fun, and I still highly recommend it for someone who wants to try out a different flavor of DAC without breaking the bank. | |
| Need Advice on Amp Audition at a Dealers Try an Icon Stereo 30 SE from Music Direct. If you don't like it, they have a 60 day return policy. I have a hunch they will pair up nicely with your speakers, which are just crying for Class A single ended power. You also may end up not needing... | |
| Schiit Bifrost vs. the original Peachtree Dac-it mzkmxcv said: "Even Schiit’s flagship DAC won’t be as accurate as the two I mentioned above that are much cheaper. Like I said, only their Modi 3 is worth buying."Is that so? How do you know? What criteria did you use for that assessment? What... | |
| Schiit Bifrost vs. the original Peachtree Dac-it I have the Modi Multibit. It has a unique sound. Certainly not the last word on punchy bass or airy highs, but it holds its own and presents nice sense of space and clarity in the midrange. It moves around at my house, from desktop system to he... | |
| Need Advice on Amp Audition at a Dealers Oops... just read your message and realized the dealer is hours away. Might not be practical, you might have to do it yourself if the dealer is cool with that (they usually are once you throw down your plastic). | |
| Need Advice on Amp Audition at a Dealers A home audition is best. Ask the dealer to send out one of his techs to set it up for you. If you need it for a few days, you'll have to pay for the tech to come back, but the cost won't be that bad.The advantage of letting someone else set it u... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming This too:https://store.dead.net/pacific-northwest-73-74-the-complete-recordings-19-cd-boxed-set-1.htmlThe samples sound promising. I'm saving up to buy before they sell out. |
