| Opinions on Metronome Technologie CD ONE Signature I would pass on a ten year old cd player from a company with questionable service. In most cases much newer cd players which are less expensive will outperform older players, digital technology continues to improve as we have learned more and chip... | |
| WA Sasha verusu SF Sstradivarius? It is possible to compare anything to anything but what is the point. The Stradis are a nice speaker but are not really competitive with most of todays' speaker systems in that price point. They really don't go low enough. The Strads have classic ... | |
| Electrocomp. vs. Hegel -The battle of Norway Both are good integrated amplifiers, however there is where the similarity ends.Hegel uses a revolutionary patented circuit which Hegel calls the "sound engine" which is a feed forward error correction scheme, Solution uses a similar circuit altho... | |
| ProAc D28 vs Usher Dancer Mini 2 The Usher's use much high resolution drivers than what Proac uses. With higher resolution comes setup issues, so your dealer may or may not have optimized how the speakers were setup. If the speakers you heard had any other speakers in the room, t... | |
| Room design - home theater Your best bet is to build the structure as rigid as possible at the most cost effective way and put the money into proper room treatment.A conventional room with flat ceiling can be properly acoustically modeled which when built with the right dim... | |
| Help: My newly upgraded AA Capitole gives no sound It is possible that the player was damaged in transit.I would have a good local shop look at it or send it back to France. I have found a great US repair facility that can service the Audio Aero products. Analogique in New York City. | |
| My findings on Magico V2.....what now? You heard what the Magico's really sound like, they are in my humble opinion a triumph of marketing over substance, they are exceedingly okay, nothing special.Listen to a pair of well setup Kef 207.2 on good tubes I am listening to Manley wonderfu... | |
| NAD 375BEE v Anthem 225 v Cambridge 840v2 Depends what you like, the NAD is a warm punchy sound.The Cambridge is cleaner with more detail.Feature wise the Cambridge is way cooler with its very informative display and extensive feature set. I haven't heard the Anthem yet. I would say it co... | |
| Did anybody else notice this about PSB Speakers? PSB has proven time and time again, that the company can deliver a really well designed and well engineered product for a very reasonable price point, and with their latest series of products they have proven that they can deliver superb sound on ... | |
| Subwoofer for Focal Utopia Be's. I would also agree with the JL subs, however, I would strongly recommend an electronics upgrade.The Utopia BE will really benefit from the best in associated equipment they are very revealing. The Krell is a good integrated but in comparison to so... | |
| Sedonix I had a new transport installed and new cryo tubes installed for a very reasonable price from Analogique in NYC.Work was done recently and the unit works great and sounds amazing with the new cryoed tubes which were NOS 50s tubes. | |
| B&W or kef Sorry to disagree on the B&W issue, but I have heard both lines and currently Kef new Reference series is much more technically advanced than what B&W is offering. The sound of the new Kef series is remarkably transparent, with a huge soun... | |
| Mcintosh C220 vs CJ ET-2 Give the dealer a break, there are many audiophiles that feel that Mcintosh products are good but not leading the field in terms of ultimate transparency.If you look at the ET 2 parts quality and design topology it is an impressive piece of hardwa... | |
| What is the chain of importance in analog system ? As a 20 year professional in the high end audio industry, Dopogue is correct.A turntable must isolate the phono cart from internal and external vibrations which will distort the output of the phono cartridge. Once a cart is isolated can you hear w... | |
| "DCS Delius" DAC direct to Amp? The DCS Delius does not sound anywhere as good as a late edition Audio Aero Prestige SE. I demoed a full blown DCS Verdi, Purcell, and Delius combination vs the Prestige and the Audio Aero was far superior in every way including low level resoluti... |
