Tod a dac Thst all would like for $7k a great bargain the T+A 200 dac
speakers the New Sonus Faber Serafino G2 is $26k and cannot be overlooked
sounds as good as they look , integrated amp the New Gryphon 333 just atop of the iceberg .
$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.
Long story short, I sold my beloved 2-channel to reduce family debt. In about a year-ish, I’ll be in a position to rebuild with a hefty budget. I loved my Harbeth + Pass Labs combo. My REL sub died before I really got to integrate it, so opinions wanted there as well. I fully understand the diminishing margin of returns when moving into some arenas, but that’s ok, opinions are strongly encouraged.
I listen to a lot of Miles Davis/Coltrane, Radiohead, Tool, Pearl Jam, Brent Cobb. I’ve often preferred “organic” or neutral, not sure how technical that is.

Enthusiastic audiogoners here will start spinning you around with all sort of dream gears of their own. This shows how much they care about you but it might not be a good thing because you will be overwhelmed. Instead, it is suggested that you go to a reputable source like Stereophile and carefully study not only the measurements but also listening test experience. Then screen out a few candidates and combination under your budget before presenting them to the audiogoners for advices. This due diligence is a must. Don't be lazy. |
I fail to see why anyone would buy Macintosh. Abject mediocrity. If your priority is to purchase US domestic products, buy Boulder. They wipe the floor with Mac. Watching videos from Munich the Mac - Sonus Faber room was easily the worst. But the Wolf Von Langa Son, with valve integrated amp, was reviewed by many as best in show, and falls squarely within your budget |
Here we go again. Another insufferable brand name basher. One reason I don't post very often is this. Then you take it a step further by comparing the gear you have trashed by comparing to another that on average cost 2 or 3 times more. I don't suppose you have considered how many Mac users on this forum you have insulted. Reminds me of the guy that recently posted that all Esoteric CD players sound like tanks. Such an ignorant ilinformed poster. Is there a monitor on the forum to take such posters aside for the benefit of the rest of us? P.S. I'm not a Mac user. |
