Is $3000 pushing the limits for a geat monitor??
Sunny,The JM Reynaud speaks are tremendous as well as many others i.e. Tonian labs, Audiomachina and several other little discussed brands that, at the top of their line are as realistic and pure as the rest of the best on earth. Point is there ar... 
Is $3000 pushing the limits for a geat monitor??
Sunny,The JMReynaud seem to favor high quality tube gear from my experience, but when everything is working these speakers are absolutely alive with naturalness, immediacy, and harmonic rightness and clarity, astonishingly good. I had a good frien... 
Fuses that matter.
Hello,Sorry to break in to the discussion but...I have read through this thread hoping to get Tbg's fuse choice for his H-CAT preamplifier.Tgb, would you kindly share your current fuse choice.I continue to be amazed at the performance of this devi... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Drewan77,That is a great peek into why more audiophiles aren't using DEQX. Perhaps DEQX's R&D will be able to make user interfaces/optimization much less cumbersome in the near future. From my encounter with DEQX (obviously dialed in) it clear... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Near the end of the "best speaker you ever heard" thread I mention Overkill using DEQX as a "game changer" FOR ME not simply for what the speakers were doing but more importantly for what they were not doing. You start with a spectacular speaker d... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
As an addition to my last post the associated amplifier being used to drive the Overkill loudspeakers was also by Overkill.Reading through a few posts on this thread I noticed very few respondents mention the associated amplifier being used to dri... 
Audio Horizons TD 3.1 svt
Apparently this company sells mostly to Canadians and Asians...in Asia I mean. They are based in the Sacramento area but sell very little in the states. I tend to make purchases from high flying companies that are a bit under the radar. Can any 3.... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Probably the most startlingly realistic sound I've ever encountered was the Overkill loudspeaker at T.H.E a few years back. I've heard tremendous horn systems (in homes) tweaked to the hilt, effortless, clear, powerful etc but never in 30 years ha... 
SEPARATE DAC/SERVER OR ALL IN ONE BOX?

Van Alstine?
Hi folks,In 2005 I purchased an AVA Omegastar dac after having read a review that resulted in a TAS golden ear award... I had been curious about the brand anyway, the price was right and it actually sounded fantastic.I was looking for a simple imp... 
Speaker cable manufacturers
Hi all, I have been a big fan of the Audience AU24 "e" line of cables but are out of your budget I know. HOWEVER, last year I decided, after speaking with a different manufacturer that I would try some new cables. The Audience are obviously very g...

Preamp choices; 20 ohm output impedance or less
My apologies for not properly editing the post explanation."100-300k" should obviously have been 100-300ohm output impedance...which is typical for most tube based preamp designs meant to drive tube amplifiers w/an input impedance of 100k or above... 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
I have a chance to listen to these fine speakers several times at a friends house over the last couple of months.I think that from the lower octaves through the midbass and lower mid they are exceptional. As the sound moves through the mid to uppe...
