| System Upgrade Two left ears ever listen to a Murata supertweeter?If a speaker needs a super tweeter it is not going to be voiced on the lively side now is it? | |
| Paradigm Persona 3F setup recommendations for cinema + music OP you are correct that the Anthem MRX 1120 is not a good enough amplifier stage for the Persona 3F.We have used the Anthem MRX 1120 to power Atmos louspeakers and a seperate power amplifier to power the main, center, and rear surrounds.One of th... | |
| beryllium vs diamond Okay Profi what gear was being used with them?Speaker positioning won't compensate for the equipment.This isn't hard it is the equipment you use them with.Why do some people manage to get the speakers to sound good to great?It is system matching,... | |
| beryllium vs diamond Koost, I remember reading about that amplifier and the review wasn't good, basically Stereophile said the amplifier was super lean, and clean, fast and articulate, the reviewer tried lots of things changing cables, adding a tube preamp to enrich ... | |

| Considering Gryphon Diablo 300 "OR" Simaudio 700iv2 ??? Really p59teitel, Do you drive 10 different sports cars on 10 different days over a two week period on different roads, times of days and make a conclusion.Or Do you get all ten cars, drive them one lap at the track on the same day under the same ... | |

Huberto wow that is a fascinating non factual statment: Before I decided to buy Diablo 300 I audutioned and directly or indirectly (different rooms) compared with it the following amplifiers: You can’t judge indirectly the sound of one amplifier i... | |
| Light weight speaker cables If you like the sound of your system just rig some kind of velco stap or wire tie to support the cable.No need to change, we have used wire ties and velco straps to support heavy cables for years, works wonders and costs next to nothing.Dave and T... | |
| System Upgrade OP please try to borrow a few sets of interconnects and some speaker cables and just change those first and see what you think.Another question are you using stock power cables and do you have a power conditioner. Power cables make a very large di... | |
| System synergies: Chaotic or predictable? Yes Mike but other times not the case. Many years ago at SBS the combination of a Cat preamplifier plus a Vac amplifier was the amazing pairing. The CAT amplifiers altough they were expensive didn’t have the drive that the VAC amplifiers did and t... | |
| System synergies: Chaotic or predictable? Sorry Millercarbon but totally disagree with you on if it is good here it will be good elsewhere.On one demo we compared AQ cables from the Fire, Wind, Water series vs the comparable models from Wireworld, Platinum, Gold and Silver Eclipse, and th... | |
| Just listened to Focal Sopra 2 on Devialet 130Pro Mrdecibel, we know what you speak of. We used to sell the Devialet and the gear was always impressive but in the long run felt that the sound was always lacking a degree of musicality that would draw you in.We got rid of the Devialet and found the... | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers Carey, the T+A gear we recommend is warm and very musical yet has outstanding resolution and dynamics.If you research the company you will see the HV concept, this is emmulating the sound of tubes by running the rail voltages to much greater than ... | |
| System Upgrade Ahofer cables and amps are incredible tone controls, so is adding spices to foods, adding more or unusual ingredients to a well known dish to alter the flavor to taste.Came up with the Coffe Drinkers School of Audiology many years ago.Take a great... |
