| Thiel SS2.2 added a new dimension Definitely agree. It just extends the 3.7s into a full range Class A speaker :)I love how Thiel took the guesswork out of integrating subs. So microphone needed. No crawling needed. Just dial in the distance the sub is from the nearest wall and vo... | |
| Can I Improve Sound--Macbook Pro as Music Server? The MBP unibody is actually quite easy to open up. Apple even puts instructions online (to upgrade memory)The new retina MBP on the other hand I'd not recommend opening. | |
| Does Amarra improve sound quality using hard drive Ps i prefer Audirvana PlusDespite buying all 3 even Amarra at over 500 bucks | |
| Does Amarra improve sound quality using hard drive Amarra/Pure Music work as a plug in application that displaces iTunes music playback engine. It would not work with a custom built music server like the Bryston. | |
| Can I Improve Sound--Macbook Pro as Music Server? New partition means a fresh installation, not an upgrade of an existing installation. I use "partition" as opposed to a disk because you may wish to create more than one partition (eg 1 for Bootcamp to run Windows and another to run Mac OS X for r... | |
| Can I Improve Sound--Macbook Pro as Music Server? Optimize your Mac OS for music serverReinstall the OS on a clean new partition preferably on an SSD(this may not be applicable if you run the MBP as a multi purpose machine)- disable spotlight- disable IR- disable Dashboard- disable Spaces- disabl... | |
| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker I dunno. I think the Thiel 3,7s at 13k are a great bargain. I ended up getting a pair of SS2.2s to augment it for the low end so now they sound great and are full range down to 20Hz as well. | |
| Tube Amplifier for Thiel My local Thiel dealer just began carrying the 300W Bob Carver tube power amps and they sound sublime. | |
| Best AV processors for under $10K I have even used an AVR (Denon 4810) to handle HDMI and use the pre outs to a stereo preamp with HT bypassAm upgrading the Denon to a Marantz 8801 since I am already using external power amps for all channels anyway and this will support 3D HDMI a... | |
| Modwright Oppo 105 If my Modwright LS100 was any indication, I'd say Dan's designs are not meant to sound like the traditional tube warmth, similar to the way the new Conrad Johnson and Audio Research gear are. They all have a bit of midrange lushness and 3 dimensio... | |
| Affordable "Thiel type" speakers are? I thought that coaxial KEFs are decent. The Q series are made in china. But I thought that they had a very good imaging. Not in the same class as the 2.4s but they are pretty affordable. | |
| Playback designs MPD-3 vs Ayon Skylla If you don't have a preamp, I'd recommend the CD5S which has an analog volume control vs the Skylla which I recall uses a digital volume control like the older CD5. | |
| New Firmware for Playback Designs MPS-5 Sorry. Typing on a small phone has its drawbacks. The firmware update over writes it fully. You don't need to apply the individual preceding firmware updates. | |
| Soud applications Reference line stage vs line sta I get mine from the local dealer so there is at least some form of providence. FWIW, very few people I know sell their Sound Applications unless it's to trade up. | |
| Soud applications Reference line stage vs line sta The newer ones are pricier so I dont see how that is bad for resale value. |
