| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick I'm sure all the speakers mentioned here are great in their own ways. I'd check out the Salk Song3 BEAT. They're not solid wood as mentioned above, but they use a wood veneer and look great and you can pick pretty much any finish. If Salk had to c... | |
| Salk Audio Sound I have a pair of Song3's. I love them. I demo'd the ProAc D30r's and those were my favorite brick and mortar store speakers, but for quite a bit less (mine are standard Song3's) I like the Song 3's more.They are just a bit more articulate and deta... | |
| A moderate priced dac For around $1100-1400 you should be able to find a used Exogal Comet Plus. That's a great sounding DAC, from the founders of Wadia, that retails for over $3k. Fantastic sounding DAC. | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Wow, pretty much read this whole thread. It reads like a movie almost. Hopefully, there's a happy ending for all involved. I can say I've purchased a couple of products from Underwood and never had any experiences other than completely positive. I... | |
| Axpona 2019 @audiotroy The Golden Ear Triton 1R were in our mind one of the standouts for the money for $6k they sounded totally different then the sound we associated with Golden Ear which tends to be either too bright or too boomy. The soundstage was huge... | |
| Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available... On paper these don't seem to have major improvements over the Dialogue series. However, the price sure went up. I'm wondering if by creating a new model they also get a new round of reviews in the HiFi media, which is the lifeblood for sales. If t... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? That's ironic. I was pouring over Aliexpress around the same time looking at these cables from various dealers. I decided to hold off and try something else for now, however I think there are a couple different scenarios that present themselves wi... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range I'm listening to an STA-200 right now. I use it in my office with a pair of KEF Q150's and an Emotiva XDA2 dac. It's a great amp. I've used it at home with an Exogal Comet Dac and Salk Song3's and it sounded great. I also had the Job225 amp and co... | |

| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! nice, looking forward to hearing your thoughts. What are you hooking it up to? | |
| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! I'm also interested in the River portable power supply. Also lithium. It can handle up to 500 watts. I'm not an electrical engineer and really don't understand much about electricity. I emailed their customer service to see if they think it will w... | |
| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! Yup, I saw that too, for a factory refurb. Might be worth trying. | |
| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! I'm interested in this, but want to make sure I understand. I have a Primaluna Dialogue integrated. The power consumption on their site is rated at 255 watts. My dac is rated at 25 watts. I also have a bluesound node 2. Let's say its not higher th... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers <$2000 @stuff_jonesYou heard what I did with the Hawks. The tweeter is a touch bright. However, what I did like is that at low and moderate volume you still get a lot of detail. Tubes helped a bit, but I'd still have to turn the volume down a bit on cert... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers <$2000 I had Hawks for a few years and loved them. If you're going to have bookshelf speakers on stands then Hawks are a great alternative. They are small, but have a huge soundstage and image fantastically. They also play down into the mid 30's and have... |
