| McIntosh LS360 I've heard the LS360 sound top tier in one setup, and really quite bad in another. Like many speakers I suspect they are quite room dependent. Ancillary equipment matters too but the room is the huge factor with these. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I’ve been using the Aeris and the Praesto power cables all week, so far really amazing results. The build quality is off the charts. Even the more affordable Aeris is impeccably built using the same connectors as my Cerious Graphene Matrix which w... | |
| Experience with SoulNote Dac2? @arafiq I totally agree with your point above. We can make some assumptions based on the type of DAC being FPGA or ESS/Wolfson/Texas Instruments or FGPA or whatever. And sometimes there might be a hint of truth in there. But just as often we'll be... | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Esoteric F-01, Esoteric F-02 or Dan D'Agostino Progression Disagree with everyone who says political views should not be a factor. Think of it this way, it is very common to support brands who we feel align with our values. I know someone who keeps buying a new Subaru every couple years. He and his wife... | |
| ??? Pathos Classic Remix Mk.II OR Copland CSA-100 *** Which Hybrid Would You Buy??? I would choose the Copland myself. Love that Danish sound and design language. The Pathos is not bad of course. Maybe the better choice for some speakers. An if you do headphones often I bet the Pathos is the winner there by a good margin. I'd sti... | |
| AVM Audio 8.2 a meaningful improvement over the 8? Haven't heard the 8.2 for comparisons. The 8s are really great amps though. For half the price I would think that's an easy choice. There's no way the 8.2 is twice as good. I bet it ends up being more like 5 to 10 percent better. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I received the Praesto and Aeris power cables earlier this week. Both are really impressive. The build quality even on the more affordable Aeris is easily a match for my Cerious Graphene Matrix which sold for more than double the price. Initial ... | |
| The Cable Company advice? There was another thread around here discussing Cable Company, maybe it got deleted? It ran for years though. Many people documented their bad experiences, along with many who loved the place. For me, I say go with a smaller brand that offers so... | |
| To Banana or to BFA? Different brands use different designs for BFA plugs. I find that some are good and many are not. I do think the BFA design tends to start out too snug and get more loose the more it gets used. Once it is loose it can't be brought back to tight. ... | |
| XLR vs RCA I try to stick with balanced whenever it is an option. Some components only have RCA and that's fine, if I can though I'll go XLR. In my experience it is usually the better bet. | |
| Revival Audio - new Atalante 7 Evo Beautiful! No sure how they will sound, I bet it is great for the price, but just going by looks I love them already. | |
| Help identifying this speaker? That center speaker looks like an HTM2. I don't recognize the other speakers though. The almost look like they are 3-way tower speakers with some subs placed on top. Because look at the bevel on the main speaker portion, which is not there on the ... | |
| Review on Vermouth Audio Reference Micro Monitor Nice review, thank you. They do look like high quality monitors and probably sound great in the right room. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I ordered one each of the Aeris and Praesto power cables. They should arrive Monday. I look forward to comparing them to one another and also to my Cerious Graphene Matrix. Based on the above posts it may take some time before they settle in so we... | |
| What happened to Audiowaves Hifi Alan Grau? He was always great to deal with. Good for him on the retirement though, he earned it. |
