| I should have never .... @miner42 Not that I doubt your decision, but is it possible that you were just more comfortable (biased?) with what you already had? Its kind of hard for me to listen to Auditor Ms anywhere to make a comparison, anyways. | |
| I should have never .... Also, I forgot to mention that I'm not replacing my main rig. This is a new system that I'm planning to put together for my study. So far, here's the list I've compiled based on all the great suggestions here:- Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grands- Dynau... | |
| I should have never .... Folks: Just wanted to clarify that when I started thinking of building a smaller system for my study, I initially set a budget of about $3500 ($2000 for speakers and $1500 for integrated amp, both used of course). I figured that I could get used P... | |
| Focal 1037BE; All-Rounders Extraordinaire! @sjtm - how would you characterize the Focal sound? More specifically, how would compare them to B&W's 800 series? | |
| Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3 About a couple of years ago when I bought B&W CM10 speakers, I briefly experimented with Rotel gear. I paired my speakers with Rotel separates (preamp -> RC-1570; amp -> RB-1582). I was not very impressed. While the soundstage was wider,... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen @oleschool -- re: your advice for contacting the owner of Acoustic Zen ... I'm only looking for used at the moment, so not sure what benefit I'd get by calling Mr Lee. | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Cerious Technologies sound interesting. Unfortunately, I can't figure out the pricing. Their website doesn't show the prices ... or at least I haven't been able to find the information.I see a couple of used AZ Tsunami PCs for around $200. This so... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Thanks, folks. Very good recommendations. I'm leaning toward AZ Tsunami or Cullen at the moment. | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? @stereo5 I'm considering the Triton 1s for the media room. I always thought of them as primarily home theatre speakers. Do you find them musical? It would be great if I can use them for both movies and music without much sacrifice. | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen @oleschool - thanks for your suggestions. Upgrading power cords and interconnects is definitely the next thing on my list. As for room treatments, it'll probably have to wait till we move to another house and can have a dedicated audio room. Until... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen @ghosthouse don't know if you remember, but actually it was you who recommended Alan Pasqua on a different thread. great recommendation! i play their music at least once or twice every month. | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Okay, I really feel like an idiot now ... shouldn’t have jumped the gun when I posted my first impressions. So it turns out that the spades were not inserted all the way into the binding posts of my speaker. Second, I realized that the volume was ... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Okay, so received the cables last night. Admittedly, I have only listened for about a couple of hours, but here are the initial impressions...Like some other folks, there really wasn’t a jaw dropping moment. I haven’t noticed much improvement in i... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen @bdp24 I purchased the double shotguns from another a'goner. But Paul was still nice enough to recommend the double shotguns for my speakers. I am purchasing jumpers from Paul though.Since this is my first foray into the world of specialized cabl... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Folks, I just want to give a quick update. While researching the Clear Day cables, I had exchanged a few emails with Paul (owner). I asked him how the cables might perform in my system. He told me that he was not comfortable making any recommendat... |
