| Focal Kanta NO.3 Speakers Spending More Doesn't Matter ! If I was going Focal, I would work hard to make into the Sopra line. They seem better balanced to my ears. | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company They are not big speakers so I suspect the lumber theory holds little water. There isn't enough lumber in the speakers to justify $3K, it also looks like the stands have not gone up so that also seems to debunk your theory. And for the record, y... | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company I've heard them twice, once at CAF and more recently at a dealer's home. They are really, really good and at some point, I will probably take the plunge. I do find it disappointing that for a newer speaker on the market they have jumped the pric... | |
| Nad M33 vs Hegel H390... old question with a bit of a twist (ethernet and headphones) @atanarjuat99 The LTA does not have its own DAC. I'm guessing you would connect the fixed output of the Hegel to the headphone amp (you can actually connect up to three devices to the headphone amp) and use the volume control on the LTA. What I... | |
| Nad M33 vs Hegel H390... old question with a bit of a twist (ethernet and headphones) @atanarjuat99 Congrats on the Hegel purchase. I'd love to hear how things are after you have everything set up and have listened for a while. The difference in the 190 & 390 is really interesting, I'll have to check that out at my local Hege... | |
| Nad M33 vs Hegel H390... old question with a bit of a twist (ethernet and headphones) I agree with this except I think it's really difficult for some folks to spend the money just to find out. Given the decline of Audiogon over the years (as far as number and quality of listings), it's just not as easy to flip equipment at a fair ... | |
| Nad M33 vs Hegel H390... old question with a bit of a twist (ethernet and headphones) A former AE guy's video on the M33 seems pretty reasonable. He compares it with both the Hegel H390 and the Naim Uniti Nova, which I think are the right comparisons for this. While I generally agree that the Hegel is usually better than NAD on s... | |
| Nad M33 vs Hegel H390... old question with a bit of a twist (ethernet and headphones) I agree with your assertion that none of these amps really sound like the others. I think that delta grows, even more, depending on speaker choices and that the amplifier/speaker match is what's really important here.As far as the videos, the Aud... | |
| Nad M33 vs Hegel H390... old question with a bit of a twist (ethernet and headphones) Just wanted to jump in as someone who has actually heard the M33 and I have serious doubts that the Hegel H190 is any better. Sure some folks on here will wax poetic about Class D sound, but until you hear what the M33 can do I would not sell it ... | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? Well, you think wrong. | |
| Border Patrol DAC SE>SEi Upgrade? Is the SEi version what he is selling now (i.e., the latest version)? I ask, because I was thinking about taking the plunge on one of his DACs in the next month or so. | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? To me, that's why it's important to find a dealer that you like and trust. That way, you find his/her service and insight valuable and show you appreciation by buying from him or her.To me, the greed portion or this business has always been in th... | |
| My Harbeth C7ES-3 story... I've more or less fallen in love with the 30.2s and am saving up to get them. You mentioned Canada which was interesting as they seem to be getting the equivalent price to what you would pay in the U.K. as opposed to a pretty stiff mark up in the... | |
| Snell speakers kIII and type d The K IIIs are solid little speakers, still largely based on the original Peter Snell design (which is what Audio Note has based their entire K series on). Likely in need of refoaming at this point. I don't think you will get a ton for them, go ... |
