nice setup... congratulations !
Thanks!
do you plan to continue with the present DAC ?
For now, yes. Why?
or maybe add a LPS to your amp ?
Doesn't need LPS. Designed to work with switching power supply.

Good to know, Enjoy Listening. Generally With good amplification Of at least 100 watts Per channel these AJ 52’s show their real dynamism. How do you compare the musicality factor between Marantz 6005 and Norge concerto gold 1000 Do we need to use any DACs coz Marantz 6005 has a good unbuild DAC in it?Finally Norge Concerto Gold 1000 arrived today bit of long wait due to transport issues from Mumbai to Bangalore due to COVID19 situation.
Connected my AJ FS52 + Norge & it sings beautifully... i was worried if i need to reconnect my Subwoofer back to stereo 2.1, just in case there is less of those low frequency... but i was wrong its just perfect. So the subwoofer stays connected to Yammy-109 continue to do justice to movie experience
Those highs & mids are perfect, tight bass. Don't have to crank up the volume more that 4 steps on the volume knob for my listening preference.
When I comparing to Marantz PM6005 which i owned earlier found Norge is slightly bright in sound signature than PM6005 which was warm.

Is there any particular reason that you opted for Norge 1000 vs Norge Reference 2000 Price difference/ wattage difference/sound quality? Thank youYour Spot on, Norge concerto pairs really well with AJ FS52 only bcoz of sheer per channel output capability. PM6005 is a good IA, however it just doesn't bring out the details i.e. SQ out of FS52 as Norge concerto. Inbuilt DAC in PM6005 is good. You need external DAC with Norge if you have digital source which need to be connected, hence ended up buying Topping E30 recently. The combo is perfect & works really well.
To summarise if you ask me, I would opt/suggest Norge over Marantz any day as it sounds splendid with Indian music & western too. Its a complete VFM i.e. IA+DAC package below 30K.
Cheers,

Upgraded the Projector to Epson TW-9400, 4k with Pixel Shift Technology.
Fully feature packed with much brighter picture. Pretty Satisfied.

Will be selling my Benq HT 3050 soon.
Agreed, you as a buyer/consumer has to set you priorities right & then decide based on your preference. Always take some time & audition when it comes to AV equipment, just don't go and buy based on reviews & feedback alone, user experience is very subjective in this areaat the price level ( in fact at most price levels ) things are built to a price so you win some you lose some..
If one wants a feature packed amp then the performance might be compromised or vice versa.... simply because the price point is the same..
for me - i would go for a specialist amp or a dac - as i think - do 1 thing - do it well - holds good...
There are a few Norge 1000 music test videos on YouTube try to post a video of music test if possible. It enlightens many enthusiasts who want to take a good & quality gear. I am having the fs52’s since 4 years but till now I am not satisfied with their sound quality. Pairing them with Marantz nr1601 receiver. I will certainly go with Norge in near future. Thank youConcerto Gold is more balanced, however Mosfet Reference will be little bassy in sound. If i'm not wrong normally Mosfet are preferred for subwoofer amplifies where you need more power output to drive the speakers. Specification wise both are same on paper, not sure about the price of Reference didn't enquire as it was very sure of picking up Concerto when i auditioned it
Didn’t post it on YouTube, however have shared few clips to FM who have requested via PM, happy to share on requestThere are a few Norge 1000 music test videos on YouTube try to post a video of music test if possible.
