| Enough is Enough My take: two-fold on your dealer salesman’s uber-crass and uber-insulting response, (1) I would only have one thing to say your dealer salesman: it is the slang profane pejorative embodied in GENESIS 9:7. (2) Furthermore, I would not even call h... | |
| Arcam AVR Receivers @ajones82 I doubt you will meet a price vs performance value uptick. I don’t see any quantum leap in design or build. Anecdotally, a local AV dealer invoked a similar upgrade comparison to the current very top model SONY OLED fiat panel TV; ver... | |
| Nordost Heimdall 2 or Tyr 2 digital cables I had the FREY full loom in a prior system. I selected it as the “ sweet spot” in the NORDOST NORSE line after auditioning the full HEIMDALL - FREY - TYR. model options, I considered possible further NORDOST upgrades before I completely upgraded ... | |

| ??? Full Loom vs Mix ??? My experience: Mix or full loom? It depends entirely on the bespoke audio performance characteristics of your current (emphasis added); audio system . In a prior system, I started with an ad hoc cables mix driven primarily by the alchemy of av... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… Have I heard speakers that impressed me enough to consider a possible replacement for my M30.2 XD’s? Yes and No …. Let me explain … NO: Nada at its speaker current pricepoint nor even if you double it and a bit more,….. YES ….. but only at sig... | |
| Help with speaker issue @smys1031 That’s disappointing but not surprising the part that KANTO is minimizing is that the “odd” model number KANTO YU active speakers were the “first generation” (V1) models floated out there . The next generation V2 were “even number “ Y... | |
| Help with speaker issue Hmmm ….. this is just a guess based on my personal experiences. I had the KANTO YU-5’s and KANTO subwoofer in a prior desktop PC rig, and then moved to a 2.1 TV audio “ C” system. The speakers similarly suddenly f****d up royally, with no easy ex... | |

| You're not a true audiophile unless... With all the posts received, we can safely say that - insert your own phrase preceding “phile” …( eg audio, music, lifestyle, digital, tube, basshead , blah, blah …) , and, - now we have a intuit variant of a cult following in a common hobby tha... | |
