| Transparent Balanced Interconnects and their generations should a what’s in the transparent box thread be started? nah | |
| XLR adaptor advice Don’t do it. Dan would be horrified. Great balanced cables can be had here for 50%+ off. You would always be questioning yourself. Just take a look at AQ Wild Blue Yonder and Wm Low Signature as an example. Being blown out in anticipation of new m... | |

| Yet another Integrated vs Separates advice post if you can stretch to 9k so you could pick up a used or demo ML 585.5 which has a very good phono section and hi rez dac. I expect the Luxman 509x is very good as well. I’ve given up separates for top drawer integrated amps without feeling any rem... | |
| Magico vs the world I’ve never heard a Magico but they have great industrial design and I expect they sound good but maybe need somewhat warmish sounding components to make them really sing. I’m just guessing. All that said I find my Wilson Yvettes to check all audio... | |
| Integrated amplifier help I have experience with the ML585 and Dartzeel Cth8550. I’ve owned a lot of very high end gear and find both to be exceptional products. I was a little biased against the ML expecting darkish and maybe somewhat boring sound. Reality is that it has ... | |
| The Levinson Sound? i think that ML gets hit with the bias of the darkish sounding gear of way back. the 326s and the current 523 are superb preamps by any measure. i also think the 585 integrated lives up to the rave reviews it’s gotten. we audiophiles pigeon hole a... | |
| Time for the Dynaco to go, Affordable Integrated or Separates for Wilson's Under $2.5K? OP: If you haven’t purchased anything I would strongly suggest that you consider the Luxman L-505-uXii. I sure that you can find a new one for $3600 or so. It’s a little over budget but it will be something to live with a long time. Might even fin... | |
| Wilson Sabrinas, electronics and Subs I think that a property placed single sub between the mains will stun you once set up. It works for me exceptionally well with Salon 2’s , Kharma mini exquisite’s and Wilson Yvette’s. I place the SW near the right speaker and can tune it to seamle... | |
| Time for the Dynaco to go, Affordable Integrated or Separates for Wilson's Under $2.5K? You are definitely in line for the best integrated amp that you can afford. Krell has made some great ones in the last 10 yrs or so that might fall into your price range. | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? Hmm. In all candor it’s our system at work when larger businesses push out smaller businesses primarily due to economies of scale. Take Walmart as an example. I don’t like the fact that they often crush their smaller competitors but how can it not... | |
| DCS and Aurender customer service Well I’m truly sorry for that. Maybe I was just lucky. I corresponded with the two main US guys via email. I bought new gear but hate to think that had it been used the story would be different. It’s very short sided to be dark for ANY customer. | |
| Which is better. you know what you know. if it sounds good to you it’s good. the rest is white noise. have fun | |
| Need help picking a streaming integrated amp he’s a tube kind of kid. the starting point is probably a tube integrated amp around 2k then build from there. | |
| speakers or room??? dtapo... don’t want to ruin your day but at 63 i’ve just realized that my hearing has changed. in the last few months all of my mid fi gear and car systems now have their treble controls at max boost. never needed that before. max treble boost was... |
