| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put As per the original question, would I allow a dealer of anything to pick something out for me the answer is yes but not without education and a bit of research.Look at this example:Lets say you wanted to drink some some high end Vodka, or Scotch y... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put To Elizabeth,If the dealer doesn't stock anything which I can tell you many dealers don't stock anything these days, then there is never any financial pressure to recommend any product other than the dealer feels this is the best product for the c... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put Dealer disclaimer:After reading most of you guys posts, I thought to myself what a bunch of cynical, bull. I have worked in the NYC market for 17 years, before opening my own shop, and I worked for two of the biggest high end audio dealers in the ... | |
| Kef Reference 203/2 vs Wilson Audio Sophia 3 Your question doesn't make a lot of sense, do you mean to ask if the Sophia is a better speaker or will I gain greater musical performance if I upgrade?I would pose a question as why you are not considering the KEF 207.2 which is vastly superior i... | |
| Kef 207/2 vs Dynaudio Sapphire-Anyone A/B? As a KEF dealer, I am a bit biased, I will tell you in the past I have sold Dynaudio and they are very fine speakers.They do tend to do different things and appeal to different listeners:The Dynaudio tweeter is extended but quite smooth, lovely mi... | |
| Anyone with experience of Klee Acoustics cables I am a friend of a reviewer who raved reviewed these cables and asked me to demo them in my system. I liked them so much I even bought the same pair!All I can say is that these cables are fantastic sounding cables and are competitive with the best... | |
| Abbingdon music research AMR cd-77 is how good? The AMR is one of the most musical and best built cd players on the market.It is a huge step up from those players I had both the Electro and the Lector.Please contact me for more details. | |
| match of qsonix with playback design 3 or 5 dac I am using a Q 205 with the new EMM Labs DAC 2X Se which is an even better sounding dac with similar technology and voicing to the Playback and the sound is to die for! | |
| Soundstring GEN 2 speaker cable.Anyone using them? I have direct experience with both brands,The omega micro did not sound as good as audioquest cabling.the Soundstring cabling in many ways blows away audioquest so you can put two and two together.I use Sound String cabling and their Gen II stuff ... | |
| Egglestonworks Andra III vs Wilson Sasha I would suggest you also look at the new Kef Blades they are amazing loudspeakers and can outperform either one of these speakers.The Sasha's are more exciting to listen to then the Andras the Andras are more natural and musical. | |
| Has anyone purchased a krell S 550 I Int amplifier You have a multitude of options for high power high quality integrated amplifiers, most of them will be made in Europe with the only American integrated being either Pass or Ayre.You should be more than happy with a good 200 watt integrated and th... | |
| DAC w/ low-voltage XLR analog outputs for EMM XDS1 AMR DP777 has a full function analog preamp and sounds nearly as good as the older EMM Labs stuff and in some ways it is better. I sell both lines, dealer disclaimer so I am intimately familiar with both products. | |
| Where to go after Bel Canto Ref1000MKII You have a lot to change, the Bryston DAC is a good dac but not in the league of setting up a super system. Moving to a better amplifier will help, it comes down to price vs performance. The NEMO's are incredible amplifiers for the big B&W the... | |
| Meridian 808.3 vs Concert Fidelity 040 I have heard the Meridian and it is quite good, personally I would stay away from the Concert Fidelity, the company doesn't have a long term track record in the US and if you have problems you may have an expensive boat anchor.I would recommend yo... | |
| New York Show Equipment Review Dear Mr. Hirsh,Thank you so much for acknowledging both of our suites and what we accomplished in terms of creating two great sounding rooms.The Scaena CJ room with the Kronos turntable was absolutely remarkable, and this was indeed a stunningly l... |
