| Interesting observations HDMI cables are really finnicky. Now try one like this to see if it sounds different: https://www.amazon.com/Stouchi-Certified-Compatible-Playstation-Samsung/dp/B091CK3PSC | |
| "warm" solid state integrated amplifier The Krell K-300i mentioned above a few times is great. Get it with the DAC card and you have a fantastic all-in-one, including HDMI eARC. I've had that and the Ayre AX-5 Twenty at the same time in my system and could live with either. The Ayre was... | |
| Capital Audio Fest Notes @bache I'd love to come to Brooklyn, Greg. Is it the 002AB you are speaking of? What tube amp, if any, do you run them with normally? | |
| Capital Audio Fest Notes The BMR speakers were really nice. I thought it was funny that Dennis (Murphy, owner/designer of BMR) was using an old Onkyo CD player and some Class D Topping amp. He said he doesn’t have time to learn how streaming works so he uses CD’s still. | |
| Capital Audio Fest Notes @jond Was that next to the TAD/T+A room by House of Stereo? Joe from HoS had a lot of VPI stuff in his room too. | |
| Capital Audio Fest Notes Two rooms I somehow missed were Kharma and the JBL room that many have posted were best at the show. I have no idea how I missed them. Maybe they were fiddling with equipment when I stopped by but I don't even remember seeing JBL's or Kharmas. To... | |
| 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... |
