| Help me make sense of what I'm hearing "So here's the million dollar question: how do achieve it all (if not most of my goals) of punchy bass, sweet vocals, and resolving-ness without harshness?"Good luck. | |
| looking for advice on bookshelf speakers How about a full range driver with no tweeter? | |
| Tube preamp for about $1500? There is a Decware tube preamp for sale right now....well below your bottom price. | |
| Muddy Waters Folk Singer First time I ever heard this album....my friend let me borrow it. I just so happened to have a bag of shrooms on me. So, I indulged myself and played Folk Singer.....One of the most unforgettable musical experiences of my life. I will never forget... | |
| Omega Super 3 owners - what amp are you using? Any low-watt SET amp IN A SMALL ROOM will work wonderfully with Omega speakers. I'm using a Dynaco ST-70 with a pair of MaxHemp V2's with great results. Bass is a little shy but my room is quite large. | |

| Are CD players dead Funny. I started the same thread a while ago and everybody chastised me. Today, it's ok.....shame on you all. LOL! | |
| Red Wine Sig30 ? Toddnkaya: I had 88db speakers once and a very nice solid state amp I drove them with was the McCormack DNA 0.5. They come up for sale frequently here. It won't cost a lot and pretty reliable from what I hear. Are you looking for stereo amp or int... | |

| Red Wine Sig30 ? Especially if you like to "crank it loud once in a while". 86db Is pretty inefficient and needs power. You would be going backwards IMHO. | |
| Red Wine Sig30 ? Just going by numbers, I highly recommend NOT going with the Red Wine amp for a speaker with your specs. | |
| Reflections of another year in Audio To say that my year in audio has been a roller coaster is an understatement. Financial situations forced me to sell my reference rig. Then good fortune allowed me to build it up again. Whew! I don't want to buy or sell anymore. Just listen and be ... | |
| Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker Yes, Tobias. My new Omega MaxHemp V2's are VERY revealing at low volumes, giving an easy, effortless sound. The amp is very quiet, almost zero noise from the drivers. IMHO the relationship between amp and speaker are key for retrieval of low level... | |
| Ugh, what to do, what to do... DAC I agree with Chalres1dad. I'm getting wonderful results using the Metrum Octave DAC. Having owned both the Paradisea 3+ and Havana from MHDT, I believe the Metrum is a better decision...by far. |
