| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade Both AGD and Atmasphere can send me their amps for auditioning. I can provide an unbiased opinion based on what I hear. | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? My definition is simple … and, yes it’s my interpretation. If you get engrossed in the music such that you don’t think about the sound, clarity, detail, slam, <insert your favorite audiophile adjective>, etc … just the music, that’s musica... | |
| Ken Fritz stereo system auction is live... @czarivey Seriously? | |
| Luxman D07x @rpeluso Don't worry about the naysayers. Luxman makes great products that can compete with the best. Their components are musical, refined, and of heirloom quality. Auditioning some equipment vs owning are two entirely different things. | |
| Electronics for Harbeths -- $5-10K @cundare2 You're not hurting anyone's feelings. If you have already done your research and settled on Ayre then I'm sure it must be the right choice. At the end of the day, the only person you have to please is YOU. As soix mentioned, Ayre is a gr... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? I can keep my Harbeth 40.2 until I die. But most likely I won’t. | |
| Electronics for Harbeths -- $5-10K I find it somewhat amusing that the OP is going to go with something that “looks good on paper” and ignoring recommendations from actual Harbeth owners. But whatever works for you man. Good luck! | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? @asctim Let's agree to disagree. I found the differences between DACs as meaningful as Ferrari and Corolla. But I was only able to hear that once my system had evolved to a certain level. However, I agree that if your modus operandi when comparing... | |
| Electronics for Harbeths -- $5-10K ... than the "analytic" superdetailed sound of Luxman ... May I ask how you reached this conclusion? Is it based on what you've been hearing or did you try a specific Luxman model and found that to be the case? | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? So the difference would be that the cornering somehow just feels better in the Ferrari and so is a more enjoyable experience that justifies the cost. Really? You think that's the only thing setting a Ferrari and Corolla apart? I don't have the ... | |
| Rogue CM II v Rogue CM III @geph0007 I owned the Cronus Magnum II a few years ago. My issue with that model was that it sounded more like a solid state amp than a tube amp. It had a ton of power, clarity, detail, and definitely had the holographic imaging that tubes are kno... | |
| ARC VSi75SE v. MF Nu-Vista 800 @cundare2 Please keep in mind that my experience was/is with Harbeth M30.1 and SHL5+. It is quite possible that C7-ES3s are a different animal altogether. I have owned P3esr and 30.1, and still own SHL5+ (home office) and 40.2 (main system). Incid... | |
| ARC VSi75SE v. MF Nu-Vista 800 Also, I'm not a fan of the Luxman sound in general. But it was a very good pairing with Harbeth M30.1. Not so much when I got the HL5+, which IMO and unlike other Harbeth models, is better driven by tube amplification. In SS, I much prefer Accuph... | |
| ARC VSi75SE v. MF Nu-Vista 800 @ghdprentice To be clear, my comments were specific to the i/50. It’s in a very competitive price bracket and I don’t think it’s a particularly good value given some other tube integrateds in the same ballpark. Apart from that, I am a huge fan of ... | |
| LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW! There is an already-existing thread for this BUT THIS ONE IS MORE PROMINENT!!! |
