| Whats on your turntable tonight? Queen - A Night at the Operathis is a pristine copy of the 1982 mofi release. Prices are sky high, but I find it a little flat sounding. Suggestions on a better pressing welcome. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @boxer12 I’ve got Somethin’ Else queued up next. All 3 were brand new. It was a good shipment from Discogs. | |

| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 I listened to the Focal Stella Utopia EM Evo powered by Moon 888 monoblocks and all SimAudio gear. Sounded fantastic, as you’d expect for a $250,000 setup. Different rooms and associates gear, but I wasn’t convinced it sounded *that* much better t... | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 I can’t really speak to the 802D2, but I love the 802D3. Really well rounded with McIntosh power and Mytek Manhattan DAC. The KEF Ref 5 were nice but something sounded just a bit unnatural to me about them. The B&W was just remarkable in its a... | |
| DAC/Streamers Under 10k - Mytek, PS Audio... I’ve had the Manhattan for a while now and the network card has worked flawlessly. That said, I’m pretty annoyed they advertised AirPlay support and then seemed to not deliver it. It’s a small company, but it’s a pretty egregious example of false ... | |
| Why are my SF Venere S Speakers not sounding as warm? I have almost the exact same dimensions as the OP including the same vaulted ceiling from 9 to 15’. Bass from the 802D3 is good, but I do use a little boosting on the preamp. That said, I would agree with above that the first place to look is ampl... | |
| Anyone using a Mytek Brooklyn or Manhattan (I or II) DAC as a preamplifier? There is analog vs digital volume. I found this confusing as well and emailed them before randomly poking around and figuring it out. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I think Wilson speakers are hideous. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I think it’s unfortunate that @whitecamaross thinks it’s his fault that the thread lost steam and not the person who has been posting 3x more than anyone else with 12 page long lectures. To be direct, I have loved reading the feedback of @whitecam... | |
| Does this image give you claustrophobia? What I don’t get is why the forum moderators allow @georgehifi to lob insults at people. It’s one thing to voice an opinion about this and another to generally insult a group of people on the forums. | |
| Bookshelf + sub vs. floorstanding For home theater I much prefer having the sub no matter which way you go. Floor standers just won’t cut it for that epic movie bass. | |
| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? I’ve been using the Rega for a few days now and it sounds spectacular. I’m not sure what improvements I’d get with more expensive TTs, but I’m happy. I have a pretty amazing setup for digital, and most of the records I’ve played sound better than ... | |
| McIntosh Tone Controls It would allow me to target low midbass which is a bit of a null in my room. | |
| McIntosh Tone Controls Thanks all, that makes me feel better about it! I could not find anything in the C47 manual that talks about the signal path for tone controls.@scorpio1951 The reason for the C52 would be to get the 8-way EQ, assuming it’s also analog. The integra... |
