| Revel Studio 1, B&W 802N or Sonus Faber Cremonas I think your post makes perfect sense. Your room size is going to play a big factor in how much power you will need. If you have a very big room then I would go with the amp that puts out the most power. I would assume you have a decent sized room... | |
| Mac & iTunes geniuses... help Ed, If you are going to all the trouble and are looking to save space then you might want to consider just going down to 320mp3. I seriously doubt you will be able to hear a difference on the ipod. Heck 320s are pretty good sounding on the main ri... | |
| Review: Wadia Series 9 DA converter Just curious what the price on the Wadai 9 series is as well as how much does the GNSC mods add to the price? | |
| Trying to decide between 3 amps Creek, Rega, Atoll I've never tried the other 2 but I love the sound of the Destiny. I replaced an Outlaw 2150 with it and it was a great improvement. However for some reason I just didn't like the sound of the Proacs with it. I had both the D-15 and the Tablette 20... | |
| best monitor speaker under $2000 Personally I'd rethink the Rotel integrated. In my experience it would be easier to get good sound by getting a top notch amp and some less expensive speakers than the other way around. I'm totally familiar with the Rotel model you have so maybe I... | |
| Amp for Dynaudios If you are just getting into the audiophile world you are probably eventually going to find out that solid state sounds pretty great too. Tubes have their own charm too. | |
| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? Freediver hits the nail on the head here. Yes you do need a good source and a good amp. But it seems to me that you can get a better source that is closer to the sound of a very expensive source for 1/10th the price than you can get an amp. If any... | |
| Amp for Dynaudios I have trouble driving my Audience 42 speakers with a 100 watt Creek Destiny integrated. I'm in a bedroom as well so it's not like I'm trying to fill a huge space with a small speaker either. Dyns are known to be a tough load so I wouldn't be look... | |
| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? I would rather have a great amp. You can get such good sound out of the lesser expensive DACs than you can out of a less expensive amp. Personally that is what I think after having experimented both ways. Ideally you would have good stuff for both... | |
| Dynaudio C-4 or Revel Salon 2 Yes I have also thought of the MBLs. They just seem so confusing I never troubled with them, but from what I've read the omni design sounds like it would be a perfect match for what I am looking for. I'll read into them more, thanks for the sugges... | |
| Bryston BCD-1 & Creek Destiny integrated Nope regular sized bedroom. It I play the Destiny at a fairly high level for more than an hour or so it will shut down. I had no problem driving the Audience 42 with an Outlaw 2150, but when I got the Destiny I ran into this problem. It's not a hu... | |
| Bryston BCD-1 & Creek Destiny integrated I think the Destiny sounds great. I bought one recently and have been very happy. It's only downside is it has limited power and if your speakers are a difficult load it might not be the best choice. I have a fair amount of trouble driving a set o... | |
| John Lennon, 29 years ago today.... I don't know why but I always remember this day. Not like the Beatles or John Lennon meant much to me when I was 9 years old but I always remember hearing it on Good Morning America that he was shot and killed and I always think about it on Dec 8t... | |
| Converting Vinyl to digital The main problem with the JC Penny rig is that you are limited to the sound that will be produced by that turntable and cartridge which probably is not that good. So you will be recording the sound of a crappy turntable and you will get a crappy s... | |
| Best USB DAC under $1000 I have the MHDT Paradisea + and the Cambridge DAC magic. They are both great sounding DACs. I think the Paradisea + is a bit better but it has a tube if that bugs you. I leave mine on all the time and the tube is supposed to last 8000 hours. The D... |
