| XA9000ES or Better Quality for a Streaming What about replacing the Duet with a Transporter that utilizes AKM Dacs, and has SPDIF, AES/EBU and toslink digital inputs?I just purchased a new Transporter from an E-Bay seller for $1100 delivered. | |
| I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did Consider this...two autos, an American large sedan and a foreign high performance, exotic sports car (any models of your choice). Would we agree that the sports car is built and designed to higher tolerances and specifications, and has a more tech... | |
| The Great Speaker Quest If you're going to use the Trends amp, then you need high sensitivity (90+ db), 8 ohm minimum, flat impedance speakers. The same applies to the Onyx amp.Honestly, at your $1000 budget, I don't know what to suggest other than perhaps used Klipsch F... | |
| What does this tell me? In my system, I have a preamp with WBT Nextgen input jacks, and I use some interconnects with Eichmann bullet plugs. Since the jacks and bullet plugs do not have metal completely around their barrels, the connectors have to be twisted until the me... | |
| I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did You're not alone.Sonic changes from tweaks are often subtle or inaudible to me. Especially when it comes to footers/isolation/coupling devices. I've never tried teflon tape.I've tried Aurios, Rollerblocks, Boston TuneBlocs, sorbothane, Neuance pla... | |
| Advice going from SS to tubes? For about $6500, you could buy AudioKinesis Jazz Modules speakers ($4500) and a used Atma-Sphere S30 or M-60 (about $2000 for the M-60, and less for the S30...but rare on the used market), and you would have a tube-based system that was designed t... | |
| The Great Speaker Quest IMO, you need to consider the amp you're going to use when you're choosing speakers.As a general guide, if you select speakers that have a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or less, that have a wildly varying impedance curve (impedance dips below 4 ohms... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? can you find a set of speakers that meet the following:1. flat impedance curve2. larger woofers (> 11")3. no built-in amps4. plays down to 30Hz (-3dB)Vett93 (System | Reviews | Threads | Answers)I believe the T-1 and T-3 by Classic Audio Reprod... | |
| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? I wonder if Eyediver is gaining anything toward narrowing his speaker search from this discussion between Bobbyapalkovic and 9rw? | |

| The Great Speaker Quest 05-21-09: Dave_bThe Totem Forest is special...it's about the easiest one to drive and has a very full, warmish tone compared to the others.The Forest may be a great recommendation, but they sell for $2000 used.The OP's stated budget is $1000 used. | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire The Ref 9s just didn't have what I need in a component - that ability to emotionally connect me to the music to recreate reality in my living room. Some components just have that - well, for want of a better word - magic. Oshag (Answers)Do the Mar... | |
| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? Having read your latest thread, and learning that you have owned 16 pairs of loudspeakers and that you are still unsatisfied, my first reaction is that there have been many responses here, and there will undoubtedly be many responses in your new t... | |
