| Cable upgrades Just skimming through some of the posts and wanted to toss out a recommendation if you are ever bored and want to try something different. I'm using the Analysis Plus Silver Apex XLRs in my system and they are EXACTLY what you described in your p... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Throw a Lagavulin in there and I'm pretty sure they would figure it out. | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 @classicrockfan Pardon if I don't take your technical expertise on these topics as definitive. It appears you have yet to master something as simple as posting in a forum in a cogent manner, so I'm guessing the technical details of AB Tech's USB ... | |
| Considering a Backert Rhythm 1.4, talk me out of it I own a Rhythm 1.3. There is nothing to talk you out of :-) I'm using mine with a McGary amp and Fleetwood Deville SQs, so a conical horn design. | |
| Technics SL-1200GAE or VPI HW-40 or …? If you are still looking at weights and mats, I tried a bunch of weights on my 1210G and somewhat surprisingly came away most impressed with the Origin Live Gravity One--which weighs the least of any that I tried. It's really impressive, everythi... | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable Not to revive an old thread, but I finally added the Conductor speed controller and its motor in place of the Maestro. It makes a pretty profound difference. The last record I played before the change was an original copy of XTC's Skylarking, wh... | |
| Volti does it again! @doyle3433 +1. Greg did that demonstration at the first or second Capitol Audio Fest that he exhibited at. It's a pretty compelling demo. | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 My two favorites are In-Akustik Reference USB ($550 for 1.5M) and my current reference, AB Tech KLAR ($1,350). | |
| Volti does it again! @tonnesen If no one bites here, reach out to Greg when he gets back from Florida and see if he's willing to connect you with anyone who owns Rivals in Denver/Boulder. The speakers I demoed at someone's house years ago were Merlin VSM MXs. After ... | |
| Volti does it again! Trolling? Seriously?? It's completely ridiculous to expect a speaker manufacturer like Greg to offer a return policy. Every pair of speakers is custom-made to order. Special and custom orders are rarely returnable for anything boutique or bespo... | |
| Technics SL-1200GAE or VPI HW-40 or …? Great choice! I've had two VPIs (Scoutmaster and Classic) and they ultimately left me wanting for more. I now have a Pure Fidelity Harmony and a Technics SL-1210G and both are much, much better than either VPI. Hopefully, you didn't pay much mo... | |
| Volti does it again! I always get a kick out of the "return policy" guys. Seriously, don't you make some effort to hear a product before jumping in? Years ago I bought a pair of artisan two-way speakers that were rarely sold by dealers. I reached out on one of the ... | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? Speaker preferences are so specific that I would always make sure I heard them before I sprung for them--even if it's just at a show. I've owned Merlin, Neat, Klipcsh, Nola, Linn, Audio Note, Magnepan, Q Acoustics, Harbeth, Votli, and Fleetwood (... | |
| AGD Tempo in the house @tubeguy76 Mikey sells AGD 🙄 | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K My musical tastes are very rock-centric. 60s, "classic" rock, heavy metal, punk, electronic, alt-country... I have a pair of Volti Rivals in one room and Fleetwood Devilles in the other. Both are superb with everything I listen to (and I'm runn... |
