Speaker Stand Recommendation for ERA Design 4
Thanks PrpixelI am unable to mount them in my current office/ construction trailer. I would like the flexibility of stands because I do change locations fairly frequently. Thanks, 
Treble of Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand?
I read stereomojo's review and appreciate his take on the speakers. This forum is not a witch hunt to try and prove that ones opinion is better than another but rather a place to share ideas. Kudos to stereomojo for stating his opinion and not bei... 
Revel b15a subwoofer
I owned one for 2 years. It was articulate, super versatile and integrated perfectly with Performa F32's. I sold it to upgrade other components, and miss it. I don't have any other subs at the price point to compare it to, sorry. 
Cayin CD-50T: Your favorite 12AU7 tube
Radiotechnique 12AU7 1965. sweet with great clarity and soundtage 
Sonos--deal killer
Dougclary, You need to have at least one box connected directly to your router for the sonos to send the signal out to the rest of your boxes. FYI best buy had some overstock zp-80's in Southern California (will work with zp-90 but unable to send ... 
Left channel sounds louder
I am not an expert, but some volume controls will be stepped from left to right. Have you tried manually adjusting the volume in small increments rather than using a remote? 
dac with sonos
Jak sie masz Mrjstark,Why would you assume your $5,500 RWA Isabellina is out of Jamesw20's price range? He did not state a price, just that he wanted a high end CDP with digital inputs, and not a stand alone DAC.

how big a speaker can you put in an 11 x 11 room?
I have a 10x10 room with 9 ft ceilings and am using Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grands . This switch to a smaller room and nearfield listening is new to me. Having less side room reflection has brought much more musical enjoyment.Good luckVien... 
Amp for Benchmark DAC1 Pre?
Indiesound, I have previosly used the Vincent Sp-331 with great results (driving Revel F32's, 86 sensitivity). It is a hybrid so you will get a lot of the benefits from both SS and tube sound. You can find it brand new from Upscale Audio for $999,... 
Dac's? anyone tried the new Cambridge Dacmagic-B
Audiobroke, Did you use the 840c as a seperate dac. If so can you highlight some of the differences between the magic and 840c as DAC's?Beerad 
need help on transparent sounding 12au7 tubes
Tvad, I recently changed rooms to a smaller, nearfield presentation. I had used the Mullard CV 4003 in my PrimaLuna integrated amp and felt the sound was to "warm" in my old room. With the new room set up and the same equipment I tried the Mullard...
