| $2000-$3000 integrated with DAC ??? Thanks guys. It's more a matter of cost-effectiveness than shelf space. Currently, I'm driving a pair of Piega c8's with a Pass x150.5. I recently sold the Pass and the Piega's may follow...Sold off an Ayre Pre....just going for one, coft effectiv... | |
| $2000-$3000 integrated with DAC ??? The Naim gear seems interesting, if not not underpowered. I recall hearing one of their intergrateds vs. the ayre integrated and feeling like the ayre was superior; however, it may have been the 5i vs. the ayre, in which case, it's almost unfair t... | |
| $2000-$3000 integrated with DAC ??? I'm looking *specifically* for one box (currently downsizing). Any and all suggestions are welcome. How about some of the offerings from Musical Fidelity? (shudder to think about the depreciation of their products, though). | |
| $2000-$3000 integrated with DAC ??? I've seen comments that the relatively high peak amperage on the CR7 (30) makes it sound much more powerful that that 60W figure would let on. And that amperage # is considerably higher than the 300iu. | |
| $2000-$3000 integrated with DAC ??? Goldprintaudio, do you know the wattage on the C7r? Shoot me an email with your store phone number, if you don't mind. | |
| $2000-$3000 integrated with DAC ??? Much appreciated. | |
| For those of you who have Piega speakers... I have C8s and AP3s. Components that work for me: Pass X150.5, Audience AU24 speaker cable, Cardas Neutral Reference (although a little muddy in the mid bass)Components that don't work for me: Nordost Heimdall speaker cable (although I love them a... | |
| PS Audio DL3 USB Question/Streaming The Gefen is way expensive. I'd be better off just buying an Apple TV. Lol. Thanks guys for the feedback. Much appreciated. | |
| Straightwire Virtuoso H I had a set of Virtuoso R; sold 'em, which I *deeply* regret.Very clean cable. Punchy with great mids. | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio Speakers? I'm with you..! How do the binding posts work? | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio Speakers? I heard them at a dealer a few years back, I wanted to be blown away. I recall being underwhelmed, they were very polite with compressed dynamics. I recall the dealer saying something about the "under-hung voice coil." Next to them were a pair of ... | |
| Best cables to be used for pass labs X250.5, XP10 I posted a thread abt AC cables w/Pass amps, if you do a search...The verdict was that AC cables don't seem to make a huge difference, but going into the wall directly was better than into a line "conditioner." I use a PS Audio Xstram Statement an... | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect I can see how the au24 might work with the Vienna and tubes....it's all about pairing. I didn't sell my AU24 ICs, I've got them handy for when I wind up with something with a silk dome tweeter, some PSBs, etc...but with my Piegas and SS electronic... | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect One more note...Althought the Audience might be percieved as having a lower noise floor and blacker background, I felt they had a tendency to push certain frequencies (instruments) to the front...this was cool is some ways, but it happened at the ... | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect Yes...I'd been away from my system, travelling, for about a month...I came back, sat down, and things just didn't sound rich, engaging or "right." I cranked up the volume and (I was using Pandor), thought the file compression (Adobe?) must be at f... |
