| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! This is a good lesson in why taking anyone’s advice is a bad idea. Listen with your own ears. I thought the Audio Note room was one of the worst at the show. Lifeless, flat and unengaging while the Amped room with the opposite and one of my favori... | |
| Capital Audio Fest Notes I was there yesterday personally I fled the Dr Vinyl room almost immediately due to the crushingly loud volume!I was in there by myself most times so I could tell them to turn it down. I hate when rooms turned the music up so loud you can't even ... | |
| Capital Audio Fest Notes It bring tear of satisfaction to my eye that we have technology to link festival to my home. Did you lay ear on horn speaker by Pennsylvania company fleetwood? They have Oswald monitor there that place too? I think might buy this for my car polish... | |
| Capital Audio Fest Notes Was Fritz there?I did not see any Fritz speakers there. | |
| Capital Audio Fest Notes See or hear anything worthwhile new or different there in the integrated amp department for someone looking downsize? All in 1 streaming +phono?I didn't see anything specific but from the amount of preamps with streaming and DACs I saw I would ima... | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House @klh007 For some reason $4900 sticks in my head but there's a price difference for the chrome one vs brushed so the $4900 might be for brushed. I was in that room quite a few times yesterday and today. | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? WTSR, Trenton State Radio. They had a great Reggae night where I discovered tons of bands I, to this day, never would know. | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 Great write up. I was selling my Harbeth 30.1s but then decided to keep them as I wanted the 2 distinct sounding systems, one in bedroom, one in main room. The Harbeth's are in the bedroom and Salks, as hilde45 has, in the main room. Keep both! | |
| Moving to the UK - Need Transformer I would try and get the equipment converted before you leave. It sounds like you're permanently moving there. You'll be happier with the gear converted. I moved from the US to UK and sold what made sense, converted what I was able to and bought w... | |
| Krell K-300i (with its optional DAC) vs. McIntosh MA7200 (with DA1) vs. ? (including DAC) Thanks for that @yyzsantabarbara . I'm looking at both of those right now. I was supposed to audition the Boulder this past Saturday but the dealer told me after I showed up that he couldn't get to it as he had too much stuff in his shop. I drove ... | |
| Krell K-300i (with its optional DAC) vs. McIntosh MA7200 (with DA1) vs. ? (including DAC) I just had the K-300i at my house and would recommend anyone looking for an under $10k integrated to listen to it. It's a much more open sound than I expected. Not bright at all, dynamic and clean. I tried the digital module using a Lumin streame... | |
| Unfair Competition: Orchard Audio Bosc Monoblocks vs. Pass Labs XA30.8 I think draaglah is spot on. I have in front of me right now an Ayre V-5xe, Ayre AX-5 Twenty, Krell K-300i and a Cherry MEGAschino (crazy powerful). In order of coloring the music from most to least I really believe it's AX-5, V-5xe, MEGAschino, ... | |
| endgame Amp for my Audiovector R3 Arrete I've heard the T+A with Audio Vector (a couple of the R series speakers) at a local dealer quite a bit. Sounds great and I love the way the T+A looks. I don't think you can go wrong with it but give it a try to see if it's your preference. | |
| MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING Sure would be handy if someone else could just figure out my preferences for me so I can just listen to music instead. This is so true. I love the hunt but at the same time get so frustrated. I guess that's why dealers are great for most people.... | |
| How is the Pass Labs X150.5 at low volume? Just speculation as I've never tried it but the Pass with a good solid state pre or less tubey pre maybe could do it for you. A Florida Pass dealer I know suggests VTL pre with Pass amps. They can be had used at pretty good prices. He pairs those ... |
