| Trying to decide between 2 Nagra classic, single boulder 1161, or Luxman M10-x First of all congrats on the new speakers. Those are special. Second of all, your Pass X250.5 is no slouch. I don't know what exactly you dislike about the combo, but that amp is not a dog by any means. Maybe give it a chance if you haven't alread... | |
| Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home for Mixed Genre? Congrats on the new purchase, those are really nice. Probably a big change from your prior speakers. I bet you get used to them and enjoy them more in the end. I do agree with the others who said SF changed their sound somewhat about a decade ag... | |
| No love for Cube Audio speakers? In my experience, trying to resell lesser known gear can be very hit or miss. Unless the gear is red hot, flavor of the month based on multiple rave reviews and lots of forum chatter. Think maybe early Denafrips before people knew the name. Anythi... | |
| Silverline Audio Double check their website, the only thing I see there for over $100k is their top floorstanding speaker. Everything else is less and in many cases a lot less. Make sure you are on a desktop PC to browse their site. I tried on my phone and it is... | |
| Score!!! Just Picked up a Pair of "THE best for Beatles" Speakers. Wow those bring back memories. Nicely done! | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I was interested in the regular Aperta to replace my old JPS Labs Superconductor that is starting to fall apart. It comes highly recommended by some online audio friends. I emailed Veritas and they said the Aperta SE is being posted to the website... | |
| Netting Over Connectors - Do They Help? That always reminds me of buying a pear or other fruit at the grocery store. The netting is to keep it from getting damaged. I always assumed they leave it at audio shows because they are in a rush to set up and will be taking everything back down... | |
| Soul Note DACs @iseland Thank you, that is actually one of my most important aspects of music reproduction. Trying to capture the space. Looks like I have a pair of the X3 clocks in my future! | |
| Soul Note DACs @bluethinker I'm not good at describing sound so I can't write all eloquent like many people seem able around here. I just know the D2 sounds correct to my ears. I've spent a lot of time listening to live acoustic music, from jazz to classical to ... | |
| New Fritz Speakers: Carerra R I bet they sound great, Fritz doesn't get enough love for his excellent speakers. They might look plain but they sound great. | |
| Totem Element Metal Version 2 Loudspeaker I owned the original Totem Metal for a while and they were great for their size. The room was small and could not fit most of the other models I was considering. Too overpowered in that space. The Element Metal was a perfect fit. That said, I wa... | |
| Soul Note DACs Soul Note and Esoteric (on their top few models) are the only DACs I have seen which let users double up for dual mono. I compared my D-2 to just a single one in stereo mode, while not twice as good it feels appreciably better. | |
| Lawrence Audio speakers? If you find one for sale locally, jump on it! They seem hard to find now and the sound is a beautiful as the appearance. I used the Violin SE in my main setup for a while, intended to try Cello or Double Bass but took a detour into the Vivid B1 an... | |
| Presto Music Tsuyoshi Yamamoto hi res download Interesting, thank for posting. I'll check it out as a huge T.Y. fan. Already own most everything available in SACD, XRCD, and regular CD, but more couldn't hurt. | |
| No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables. Agree, I believe I had both of those at one point or another. Hard to remember as it has been a while. |
