| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy I saw the asking price on usaudiomart. Not sure who would pay this much for a used pair of speakers. My local dealer will give a better price for brand new, and install it for me as well. But you never know … there’s a sucker born every minute. | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole Sometimes when I’m reading a book and listening to music, whenever I reach for the remote to move to a different song, it’s always Holly Cole. Don’t know what’s about her music but I can’t stand to listen to her for more than 30 seconds. | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole DK’s Live in Paris and Girl in the Other Room are not bad. I also liked her album where she paid a tribute to Nat King Cole. But agree the rest is pretty substandard. | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy Thank you for uncovering the heinous conspiracy. I can finally sleep tonight. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I wonder if the issue was the Peachtree amplification (?) | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. I always find it amusing when someone so confidently proclaims they can't imagine anything better than what they have right now :) | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @jeffreyw I owned the Luxman 590AXII for about a year. I would definitely rank it as my top 5 all-time best amps I have owned. I tried it with three brands of speakers -- Sonus Faber Olympica II, Kef Reference 1, and Harbeth SHL5+. Out of the thre... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In I think the OP has KEF Reference 1, not LS50s. | |
| Tammy Holt ......She's what holds it all together.......Never gives up +1 on all the praise for Tammy. I had an issue making a recent purchase on audiogon. She was on it like a hawk and followed through until the issue was resolved. | |
| The revolution has begun! @bigtwin Haha!! That was really funny 😃😃 | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls @thr1961 my speaker cables are also terminated in banana plugs on both ends. I’m using Cardas banana to spade converters. They work very well and are high quality. | |
| Spectron Audio Musician II Class D Amp - anybody still using? Danny is first and foremost a salesman. All his videos are designed to serve one and only one purpose. | |
| Pontus ii and Hi Res Bluetooth? No no no no no. Yep, that's exactly what I said when I read the OP was using bluetooth. That is one tooth that must be extracted from any audiophile's system with extreme prejudice. 😆 | |
| The revolution has begun! @jerryg123 I feel you're wasting your time with the naysayers. It's highly unlikely they will change their minds. Let it be. There are a lot of us who like to explore new things in this wonderful hobby. Let's enjoy! | |
| Fritz Carrera or other possibilities! @clio09 People kept looking around the room for the subs but found none. Yep, that sounds about right. With my previous speakers I was using a REL T9i to augment the lower frequencies. The bass that the Carrera BE's produce is so satisfying ... |
