What's an Upgrade from Arcam SA30?

Jan 31, 2025 | avforums.com | TB Rich

#1 Toying with the idea of changing my Arcam SA30 .... I think part of this is just an itch so don't know how serious I actually am, think it would depend wholly on whether I thought something would be a significant upgrade or not and balancing that vs the cost to do so. If I say what I'd like to improve (may not all be possible) it'd be better bass control, better at low volume (appreciate related to speakers as well) and maybe slightly more energetic / livelier .... my only concern with the...

#5 Thanks for the insight! I don't think the Arcam or the Rega has the trigger input though. Maybe the Musical Fidelity M3si? I would have thought more people would like to interject their opinions into this. Last edited:...

reevesy Distinguished Member #1 hi all, after using a server for streaming for quite a while , i've moved away from all that and have been using amazon unlimited hd music for my streaming...as i had a couple of echo's about the house for controlling stuff etc. my system is the quad solus artera cd/amp all in one ...not the newer streaming model unfortunately and quad Z1 speakers . i've been a bit lazy and for convenience i've mainly just blu-toothed amazon music to the quad when i've used it...
Playing with DSP

Dec 26, 2024 | avforums.com | TB Rich

TB Rich Prominent Member #1 The Squeezebox Touch is hooked up to my secondary system which is desk based and uses LS50 Meta's and a REL Tzero v2 - first thing was first to take some initial measurement sweeps. I've been on the fence about wanting to try DSP for quite some time, but I noticed today that the SqueezeDSP plugin for LMS is now a released version and no longer on Beta, so thought this might be a fun free experiment! Not bad, I knew the sub was already quite well dialled from when I...
DSP as a means to eliminate the need for hi-end speakers

Dec 9, 2024 | avforums.com | Helix Hifi |TB Rich

rs172 Standard Member #1 After trying several standing speakers in my system which consists of a Denon avr 4500h receiver connected to a NAD poweramp I have noticed that using room correction via the receiver's DSP I measure a flat frequency response no matter the speakers I use. After fiddling with the speakers placement I have managed to make all speakers that I tried to disappear. The sound stage and imaging is excellent, consisting of layers and excellent depth within the soundstage. I...

Smonks Standard Member #1 I'm looking to build a completely new hi-fi system after many years of relatively budget buys. I'm at the age now where I'd like to start piecing together a 'forever system' which will be a major step-up from my current gear. I'm not going to list my current set up as this will be a new 2 channel system from scratch - amp, speakers, turntable and streamer and possible extras if needed like phono stage and DAC. I've been looking at amps - the only real criteria I have...

#1 Hi all, Firstly, thank you for reviewing this post and putting in your two senses if you plan on doing so. Please find my predicament below, and advise as you see fit. Last year I purchased a sound system for my second bedroom in an apartment now used as an office /listening /gaming room. At the time, I purchased a Marantz hd-1 amp, kef q350, Bluesound Node N130 and a kef sub. I decided to make a few upgrades since I felt I was missing something, the sound was good, but I wanted better. I...
