| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy Looks great! But can’t possibly sound any good. | |
| Which integrated for Wilson Sabrina's Tweeters on the older Wilson models and on the Sabrinas are very different. The W/P 8s that date back to mid/late 2000s used inverted titanium tweeter. Hotter sounding than the silk dome tweeter Wilson Audio implemented on the Sabrinas. With BAT y... | |
| Which integrated for Wilson Sabrina's @cshadow And if you are set on an integrated, once again, Pass Int250 will be close to what you are looking for sound wise and will provide plenty of power and control. Used can be had in your price range. Another excellent choice would be a use... | |
| Which integrated for Wilson Sabrina's You apparently are seeking some kind of validation for your equipment. It’s fine. I get it. @panzrwagn where did that come from? I don’t need anyone to validate my system. Also, a pair of used XA60.8 are within the OP’s budget and there’s alre... | |
| Does USB quality matter when ripping CDs? During playback a digital to analog conversion takes place. The data is intact but the cable connecting your streamer to the dac is susceptible to emi and rfi that become part of the analog signal carrying digital information. This introduces nois... | |
| Which integrated for Wilson Sabrina's @panzrwagn The Mark Levison 5805 250 W/ch 4 Ohms dual mono intrgrated. Impeccably designed and built, fully specced analog, mm/mc phono, and digital including 32/384, 11.2 mbits/sec DSD and MQA. At 62 lbs it lacks for nothing on the front end o... | |
| Which integrated for Wilson Sabrina's cshadow OP 20 posts 12-25-2022 at 01:16pm … My current system sounds really good, but it lacks refinement in the top end and needs more weight and body in the midrange for my taste. The LTA has a lot of air for a tube pre, but can be a ... | |
| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy Yup the two myths…B&Ws are bright and terrible and SFs are warm and welcoming. Goes back a looong time. Hasn’t been true for at least 10-12 years. It’s all about synergy. Careful matching and you can get most speakers to sing (at this level at... | |

| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy An opinion….you should not use wires as tone controls. @deadhead1000 I agree 100% but different cables sound different. That’s just a reality. And hence my suggestion to try Acoustic Zen and higher end Cardas as well as AQ power cords. To me th... | |
| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy @rlross3 I agree with your assessment of B&W Nautilus and the latest Sonus Faber. The older series SF such as Cremona, etc. were dark/warm sounding. But the latest SF are transparent and don’t have the warmth the older SF speakers were known f... | |
| DAC recommendations @earthbound Bricasti M3. Switch to Qobuz. | |
| Dedicated Line - Things to consider @immatthewj thank you for taking the time to post the results of your comparison. I’m pretty much set on running 2 lines. I think that’s all I will ever need. Plenty of flexibility with that. | |
| Aftermarket power cable on Sutherland 20/20 MkII @rauliruegas yes true but I’m thinking some folks may miss the opportunity assuming the thin power leads going out of LPS into 20/20 will nullify the benefits. I wasn’t expecting much. It was a pleasant surprise. | |
| Sensitivity wilson sophia 2 vs 3 ? Also, if you email Wilson Audio with your questions as to what the differences are and the particular amplifier you’re using, they will respond. I’ve had nothing but positive experience in my conversations with folks at Wilson Audio. |
