| NAD C 275 Bee It should work fine but, for not much more money you could get a Rega Brio which has a better transformer and sounds better in my opinion. You'll get a more powerful, musical, golden sound, rather than the NAD's musical, lovely, but slightly dry s... | |
| Plinius 8200 mk2, really low volume!! That's pretty much exactly the system I would suggest for friends who aren't audiophiles and don't want to spend a million dollars. | |
| If you like Schubert... Agreed. Fabulous music. I have vinyl copies of his trios with the Menuhin siblings and Maurice Gendron on EMI and they are likewise superb. | |
| DAC for 2016 MacBook Pro The Peachtree Dac*iTx would be inside your budget. It got excellent reviews. (Although you may have to get one second-hand, not sure if it's still in production) Schiit seems to have a lot of fans as well. I almost bought a Peachtree but found a v... | |
| Channel Imbalance at low volumes I had a Rega Brio with this problem and assumed it was the volume pot. Had a new pot put in and it didn't fix it. God knows what the problem was but, presumably, there are many things that can cause channel imbalance at low levels. Maybe get a dec... | |
| Problem connecting Rega Dac to Macbook 2008 Every new OSX build is different. Can you check it with a friend's laptop using a previous build, Yosemite or Mavericks etc? That will tell you if El Capitan is the problem. | |
| Problem connecting Rega Dac to Macbook 2008 The issue could very well be El Capitan, notorious for usb audio problems and still unfixed by Apple in Sierra. Google "forum el capitan audio problems" and you'll find a ton of unhappy customers. A couple of weeks ago I bought a new laptop runnin... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring The Green Mountain Audio guy has posted some great stuff about crossovers and time-alignment as well. Not sure that I agree with him on everything, but it’s fascinating to hear an intelligent designer talk about something that I personally know bu... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Ralph is also an audiophile: I'm glad that he posts here and talks about engineering. I wish more of them would. Good to see Eric from Tekton is getting amongst it too, despite the minefield. | |
| Current speaker threads are boring I like this forum even though I'm a playwright in a small country so, poor as they come. Nevertheless there's a wealth of knowledge here that you don't get on other forums once you know who to listen to. Almarg, for instance: I've learnt tons off ... | |
| The Music Room Yep, totally legit, with good email response times. | |
| cost of speakers in relation to the rest of the system kosst_amojan makes an excellent point: Designing and building good speakers is insanely difficult. In current dollars my guess is you'd need to spend $5,000 retail for something truly great, which would represent 50% of a decent system, however yo... | |
| Looking to upgrade amp, need help. I don't know the seller BTW, I'm on the other side of the world. I just looked up Rega Exon on Hifishark thinking it might be the answer to your situation. Good luck! | |
| Looking to upgrade amp, need help. I totally agree with the Rega recommendations above. This set-up on Canuck Audio will fill your life with joy (the phono stage on the Cursa preamp will destroy the Project BTW, which you can sell, and the Exon monoblocks will best the Elicit-R):ht... | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? Sabai, I live on an ancient volcano so there's basalt everywhere, but I imagine any rock with iron in it will do the trick?(Geoff I can sell you basalt rock at $500 a chip...) |
