| A/V Receivers with Ethernet Connection Question That's pretty much what I concluded, that I would just stream with an airport express especially since I have an ipod touch that I can use as a remote. I just thought it would have been kind of cool to hook straight into an A/V receiver and be don... | |
| A/V Receivers with Ethernet Connection Question Thanks for your input on this. I did finally get a reply from Denon:"Unfortunately, since iTunes is not a music server, there is no streaming from iTunes to the receiver over the network. Apple makes devices that they stream to which can connect t... | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe I've been using my Minis with a Mystere ia21 integrated amp with 50 watts and love the sound. Very robust and dynamic. I've used both the Mac MA2275 tubed integrated and the Mystere and have found tubes to be great with the minis, or at least the ... | |
| What amplification is best for JMLab Mini Utopias Atmasphere is completely right about the Mini Utopias being tube friendly. I have owned Mini's for about 4 years now and have used with a variety of integrated amps, both tube and solid state. I wrote a review here on Audigon of four integrated am... | |
| Will a DAC drastically improve Apple TV? I just recently added an Apple TV to my system and a PS Audio Digital Link III with level IV Cullen mod both connected with an Audioquest Optilink 5 toslink cable. I have been really surprised with the sonic results. I would say the combination ha... | |
| Mystere ia21 Integrated Tube Amp ??? I wrote a review of the Mystere ia21 here on Audiogon and compaed it to a number of other integrated amps I have owned over the past few years.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ramps&1229402153 | |
| Apple TV/Ipod questions You will be fine to unplug the Apple TV and move to a different location. I had to sync mine with my Mac Pro at work then bring the Apple TV home and connect to my system. No problems at all. I think the only way to get rid of the information on t... | |
| Ayre AX-7e or Edge G3? Kenl,Good comments. For me, and that's really what you need to keep in mind because my wants in the way of sound are going to be different than others, is not so much an issue with the G3 being sterile but an issue with solid state versus tubes. T... | |
| Ayre AX-7e or Edge G3? While I have not heard the AX-7e the Edge G3 is the best solid state integrated I have had in my system. I wrote a review of the Mystere ia21 integrated where I also wrote a brief review of the G3. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/frr.pl?ramps&am... | |
| Pass Labs Amplifier Meter meaning? I used to own the X250 amp and if I remember correctly the meter indicated the mode of operation. So up to the 12 o'clock position the amp is running in class A. Beyond the 12 o'clock position it is running in class A/B. Not a 100% sure about that... | |
| Finding inert filler, for speaker stands For what it's worth the copper BBs at WalMart are actually copper coated steel. | |
| Architects and High End With my stereo system I love seeing the components. Much of what we buy in this hobby has required the design work of many industrial designers and much of it is beautiful if not down right sculptural (My wife would disagree, she refers to my list... | |
| Wilson Alexandria X2s in small room Considering the price of the Alexandria (well over 100 grand new) and the possible limitations of your existing listening room, have you given consideration to purchasing something like the Wilson Maxx 2 and taking the cost savings between the Ale... | |
| Tube Intergrated v separates 4k can they compare I too have 92 db efficient speakers and have found that $4,000 spent on an integrated amplifier gave me better performance than a $2,000 amp and $2,000 preamp plus the cost of the interconnect. Of course I haven't tried every amp/preamp combinatio... | |
| Jeff Rowland Concerto or Simaudio i7 integrated? I am currently selling a Rowland Concerto integrated so take what I say here with a grain of salt. I have not listened to the Simaudio nor the Tylers but I am very familiar with the Rowland. First and foremost the Rowland in my system is exception... |
