When I listen to CDs ripped to the Vault 2i in FLAC, sometimes I think they sound better than the original. But, the TuneIn streaming service started inserting their long, annoying ads at the beginning of most stations' play several months ago (with an update?), which really bugs me. And many of my CDs are not in the database that this uses for title, track, artist, etc. and entering manually is a royal pain since one has to use a Windows machine. Once you figure out the "secrets", it does make it easier.
I have not yet used the ear phones. This is my third Tivoli portable . Had trouble in the past getting batteries when needed . Can you help with that ?
Simetimes it's handy to just change the volume or skip a track without having to whip out the phone or walk up to the unit. That being said, it is expensive for what it is. But it works right out of the box and you don't have to deal with programming a generic remote. And tAF has a good price...
I’ll be short…it was a great price for a remarkable integrated amplifier. This thing does it all. Clean power and all the bells and whistles one could ask for at this price point. If you have Millions to blow…buy one for each room instead of needing “megabuck” components. Enjoy! I am.
I was immediately impressed with the sonic purity, bass response that punched below its stated range, and beautiful, broad sound stage. After a bit of break in, the sound has only gotten sweeter.
Perfect speakers for my music focused HiFi setup. Paired flawlessly with a Marantz Model 40n.
Thought it was a nice gift but, they don't work. Tried both cables so I don't think that's the problem.
I decided to upgrade to the Opticon 2s from the Oberon 3s. They have a bigger soundstage and slightly more detail. If you're looking for the best speakers under $2k I believe these are what you want.
Just bought the N330 and now the N331 comes out a week later. Really would have enjoyed a legit center channel. However, when reading I’m a bit confused…so a little time may help me iron out a full understanding on how to use my M10v3 as fronts, the powernode for rears, and a way to go a step further and link in my Vault 2i library not yet grouped in.
I’ll be looking forward to others with the same equipment getting theirs to work, then I’ll try. If it all works as advertised I will be a happy guy. Seems to be great stuff, sound and function wise. Needed two channels for my front La Scalas, and an occasional need for surround sound with the Powernode. May be selling the 330 when I figure out how the 331 works in moving the center channel to the front….with left and right remaining in the rear. The MIOv3 must be my Master.
It makes changing volume, play, and pause simpler than having to open a screen. Well made remote. I like the fact that it works with all of my Bluesound devices.
I purchased a NAD C3050 and the equipment was received within a week. The outside of the box looked like it survived a hockey practice but everything on the inside was pristine. The C3050 was setup with a Bluesound Nano (I already owned) for streaming along with an old Denon 360p turntable. I connected a new set of Sonos Faber Lumina II bookshelf speaker to complete the system. The amp drives the speakers easily. The sound from the amp is very balanced and required no adjustment to bass or treble to get superior sound for all three inputs. The turntable had a built in equalizer I had to turn off due to massive distortion but that was a documented issue in the Denon manual. I have about 60 listening hours in so far and enjoy more each day. May buy the internal DAC at a latter date. I recommend Audio Factory and the NAD C3050 and would buy it again.
Outstanding.. I own some high end open back ie hifiman he1000se .. sennheiser hd800s… audeze but I do reach out for these bad boys on a daily basis. They are extremely comfortable and the sound is crisp and very detailed.. buy it and you will not regret it and they are just beautiful to look at..
The Audio Factory is a wonderful online dealer. I got a great deal on this sub and it arrived a full day early. I'm using it to support my DALI Minuette SEs. A perfect match and I got it considerably cheaper from TAF. Thanks so much. I'll definitely recommend and return for future additions to my audio system(s).
I have tried the Node for a week. My ROKU delivers better sound. I had hoped for a better sound through my Marantz system but this does not do it. I have filed a return with the Audio Factory and as of a week, I have not heard a word. I do not want an exchange but a refund of my payment. I cannot resell this unit because it sucks. Why burn another fellow human being.
I took a chance and got a refurbished Node and the whole experience was great. The box had clearly been opened, but all the materials were still in their original wrapping and for all intents and purposes, this was a new unit. Worked the first time, no issues. Thanks!
Whether streaming, playing vinyl or cds, this do everything integrated sounds great and looks great too. The BluIOS app works well and gets regular updates. It’s a plus to have the room correction (for bass) with this system.
My P3's arrived and appear to be just like new. The outer box had seem some wear but the speakers appear and sound perfect!
Order was placed for "new" condition. Headphone ear pads are badly scuffed with various surface tears of the material. Disappointing. Didn't anticipate the option to send a picture before starting the on-line review but will send tomorrow depicting the defect.
I have been waiting for a network streaming amplifier with no compromise sound quality that is simple to install and use. The NAD M10 V3 is THAT and more. Do yourself a favor nd get one!!
It is rather difficult to provide feedback on my purchase when I am still yet to receive it!
I’ve only had these speakers for a couple of weeks now, but I’m quite impressed. I’ve paired this with a Rotel A14 integrated amplifier and streaming from a blue sound node. They’re still in the break in. So I can’t give you a complete evaluation on them at this time. Worth every penny.
