| Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget Being a reader of such forums, we all run into the Klipsch fan boy. However, I asked myself why? "Why do these people exist?" Loyal, passionate, convinced....so, 5 years ago I bought a new pair of LaScalas. Let me cut to the chase. I think I can n... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? This question reminds me of the "journey" my Klipsch LaScalas have made with me. I bought the pair first, before I could afford hardly anything even remotely equal to their quality. They had to endure crappy SS Cambridge Audio AV receiver, Crap CD... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3 As to bass bypass... just follow the overly simple instructions in manual EXCEPT do NOT trying switching it back and forth while amp is on. TURN OFF before changing setting. The manual does say this but it bears repeating. With Raven off, and conn... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3 In answer to how I arrived at the Raven Nighthawk 1) Made in USA 2) Crazy good reviews 3) Total upgrade value within year (Or immediate refund) Primaluna, Leben, and Line Magnetic are made overseas. NOW I know that the personal service from Raven ... | |
| 6000 dollars CD player I'd like to AMEN the endorsement of the Yamaha S2100. Have owned too many CD players to mention including the famed Oppo's, NAD, Cambridge Audio, etc. All sounded 'digital'. This Yamaha is the first which leaps over the expanse into the magical jo... | |
| Can a balanced cable be terminated with rca's I realize how old this thread is BUT.....my Yamaha CD player offers XLR outs but my Integrated offers only RCA inputs. Might there be a sonic improvement to using my XLR Cardius adapters to go RCA in? Or does this screw the signal up? I know....tr... | |
| Suggestions for New CD Player Dear gg107....if you can act fast Accessories 4less have a Yamaha S2100 player REFURBISHED for around $1500ish. The retail is $3500. It is just below their flagship model. I've owned a series of cd players including NAD, Oppo, Cambridge Audio....T... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Simple, relatively inexpensive...swap out your power cords with good ones. (Stay Under $500) What could you lose? In my system changing power cords to source components was transforming. I couldn't believe the difference. After spending much more ... | |
| seeking ‘HORN’ ideas apart from Klipshc Lascalla I'd like to weigh in on the need for sub addition to the Klipsch LaScala. Everyone says the Lascala needs a sub, and looking at the specs and roll off under 50db it SEEMS to be a absolute necessity. However, my experience has been pretty standard ... | |
| Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great Strangely the same thing happened to me (except for the wife part). Turned off sub for undisclosed reasons and everything sounded better. Especially gone was my OCD treatment of constantly adjusting the sub level due to each recordings emphasis (o... | |
| Line magnetic 812 iconic You are definitely on the right path thinking horns and tubes. (If my recent experience is anything to go by) I too was intrigued by Line Magnetic's story. Almost pulled trigger but heat of units and future service concerned me. I looked hard at P... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3 BIG NEWS....my Raven Nighthawk MKIII apparently has gotten broken in finally. Yes, I WAS impressed but now shocked. And something happened that I didn't EVER expect....my system now exceeds what I thought was even possible in any kit. We've all he... | |
| Integrated amp choice. Ayre AX5 Twenty vs Mark Levinson 585 I realize my answer is outside of your specific question but please do consider the Raven Audio tube integrated amps. (Listening now and again amazed at jaw dropping clarity) I've had one for six months and it is quite beyond my wildest hopes for ... | |
| Have a U-Turn turntable with Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. Upgrade cartridge or turntable??? U-turn Orbit is very susceptible to room vibration. (Yes, I own one and have acrylic platter.) I built a suspended platform for the Orbit which transformed everything. Footfall not longer jars stylus out of groove. (Or, dancing wife) My HRS-12 Sun... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk Break in time period I appreciate the high fives. If we all get quarantined with Covid-19 I have 1000 CD's to review. That's one thing I especially like about getting an system upgrade of this magnitude...its like hearing my favorite music freshly again. And even bett... |
