Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? Sunnyjim, nobody is debating paying retail - I'm quite certain that's a debate you'll rarely encounter here. I like paying closer to wholesale, I'm sure most people do. We all like discounts, we all like finding bargains.At issue here is what seem... | |
Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? @SunnyjimYou can feel free to ask manufacturers about their input costs, but you are no more entitled to know manufacturing input costs than I am to know how many times members on this forum are fornicating with their partners. When you bought you... | |
Peachtree Audio DAC IT X Any experience with I own one, use it with an Audio Research VSi55 integrated and BMC Purevox speakers. When they came out they were $499 originally. Now under $300 they're an even better buy. Build quality is great, no issues, sounds great. I was originally lusting ... | |
zu omen floorstander speakers I think that there is a distinct possibility that the person who told you your Krell is a bad match has no idea what they are talking about. Unless they have heard your Krell, with Zu speakers, in YOUR room, how could they possibly know? Ignore th... | |
Peachtree Grande Integrated & Zu Soul Superfly Also, are the Zu speakers more on the bright side? I find the Peachtree to be very neutral-to-warm, even without the tube buffer (which works really nice and warms up the sound even more), so in that sense if the Souls are more forward it may be a... | |
Peachtree Grande Integrated & Zu Soul Superfly I have the Peachtree Grand Integrated and love it, but that's a ton of power into speakers that don't necessarily need much power. Aren't the Zu Soul Superfly speakers something like 100db efficient? It may sound awesome, but you may not ever get ... | |
Hegel H-160 or Parasound Halo Integrated Hopefully someone chimes in who's not only heard both, but heard them through the exact same speakers in the same room. Too many comparisons don't meet that modest threshold, and end up being apples to oranges. I was checking out the Parasound Hal... | |
BMC PureUSB1 Cable... Hi all,I've had the BMC PureUSB1 cable for a few weeks now and have had ample time to enjoy it. It was packaged very nicely in a drawstring pouch in a little drawer-style box. The cable itself seems to be of very high quality - it doesn't feel che... | |
Is ARC Updating/Discontinuing the DSi200? The fact that they may be discontinuing it wouldn't discourage me - I go out of my way to look for such opportunities, where things I normally wouldn't be able to afford are marked down dramatically due to dealer liquidation, or model discontinuat... | |
REL Subwoofers, Class D Amps and Neutrik Cables. Hey Puff,Al nailed it - I have one of those cables you speak of, and that's exactly how it works. Music Direct used to sell them, I'm not sure why but they don't anymore. The cable has three wires on the amp end - two positives that connect to the... | |
Speakers: Color VS. Nuetral Puff, there's wisdom in some of Ricred1's words..."in my system, to my ears". Therein lies the rub - your system isn't likely to be the exact same as his (cables, source, media) nor is your room the same as his. And I'd offer that those elements a... | |
Speakers: Color VS. Nuetral When Peachtree introduced the Grand, they paired it with B&W N802 at shows. Those may be slightly more sensitive than the Dalis, but they also dip to 3 ohms. And Peachtree didn't pair the Grand + 802 to play harp music - they showed them off p... | |
BMC PureUSB1 Cable... Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it. I have a BMC PureUSB1 on order, will have it next week. Will post my impressions afterward. Have a good weekend all. | |
Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised @Eddaytona, that's a fantastic setup you have - congrats on some really sweet equipment. Let me ask you, since you've taken your system much farther than I've taken mine, so your experience interests me...has it been more a case of overlooking the... | |
Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised @Bmdduck, yeah I know how that goes. Footwear is more important than your audio gear so you have your priorities in order. Good thing is, there's so much nice equipment out there - new and pre-owned - at great price points that it's easy to build ... |
