| Speakers To Replace Castle Edens I did hear the first version of the Richmond. Very good midrange. As a viola player, I thought it reproduced the tone of strings really beautifully. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... I was listening to two different floorstanders, I forgot which models. One retailed under $3000, the other $1000, both used. The former had detail, frequency extension, etc., but sounded buttoned up, almost inert. The latter didn't have the preci... | |
| Speakers To Replace Castle Edens Thanks all. My wife has a pair of Isis. They're good, but a VERY different speaker. They're wide open sounding, but don't come close to eye sumptuous Eden midrange, nor do they go nearly as low. The two don't sound like they're from the same ... | |
| Speakers To Replace Castle Edens I'd consider used. I have listened to a number of speakers and surprised as to how many didn't do it for me coming in under $3000. Only the Sonus Faber Minima has gotten it right for me. But it's a relatively new model. Won't find used too often. ... | |
| Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout. I'm trying to get a hold of the Reynaud Bliss Jubileé to try (I've contacted Bob Neill), but I am interested in checking out the Fyne 500SP. Anyone here with actual experience with them? My amplification is the Pathos Classic Remix (70wpc/8 o... | |
| Eric Clapton Unplugged MoFi UD1S thoughts Yeah, I'm surprised when I read from those who hear no difference. It makes me think either their ears or equipment are less resolved. | |
| Eric Clapton Unplugged MoFi UD1S thoughts I have the original CD, single disc LP, the 2LP Rhino mastered and cut by Chris Bellman, and the MoFi OneStep. While the CB 2LP set is an improvement on the originals in that it's bigger and more spacious, it's also tonally bright and the mid... | |

| Inexpensive headphone amplifier I've got a Schitt Mani (I think that's the model) I bought from a forum member a while back. It was built from a kit, if I recall correctly, and I got it to use with my Grado 325is cans, with great results. My new integrated has a headphone a... | |
| Any Downside To Installing A Whole Home Surge Protector? @jea48 Thanks for the info. I don't know the brand. I'll check with him. He took off the facade of space the breakers are in and determined that there's space inside to install the protector. He also said that he connects to the ground. No menti... | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. The Pathos Classic Remix, which is based on the Classic III, but with sonic tweaks, digital capability, and a built-in headphone amp. I've been auditioning it from Upscale Audio. It, at times, is an astonishingly musical amp, able to convey the sm... | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 Find the Canor 1.10. An incredible sounding integrated. Retails for $6900, but I bet a dealer would meet you at the price. | |
| Tubes becoming hard to get? There still seem to be lots of NOS tubes around. And I imagine that other factories will ramp up out of necessity. I'm not sure if there's a need to raise prices if you're not buying them wholesale at a higher price. | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound I'm getting my Shunyata Hydra back next week. They found no damage at all, but replaced the filtration and surge protection with their most up to date technology. Really nice customer service! | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound I'm hoping and assuming that Shunyata will be able to bring the Hydra back to spec. If not, I'll need to find a unit which will allow me to use the Python Alpha power cord with free C19 end. |
