| The problem with Magicos Is the noise measurable? If so, have you measured the noise or have you heard the noise yourself? What model(s) did you hear the noise?I was at a friends home last night and he has expensive Magicos MSRP $175,000 I think (not what he paid for th... | |
| Openning a hi fi shop First off most established brands would not touch you unless they do not have a dealer in your area. You cannot just buy one or two pieces of their product line you have to make an initial investment. You should have systems at different price p... | |
| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? Nope Never. | |
| The survival of the fittest. All the components we build are word of mouth because we cater to a unique audiophile whose only concern is the best sound. When we started, I was politely introduced to marketing - the reviews are not free. It is very political also. Many of t... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab I know a guy who owns the Tektons and he also owns Spatial Audio speakers. I was wondering what speakers he favored. He liked both for different reasons so although Tektons are mentioned here as such a superb speaker, to each his own. | |
| Do chinese tube preamp/amp clones interest you? My buddy bought one Chinese power amplifiers and it worked for a while before it broke. He paid $200 to have it fixed and actually now likes it some. In looking at it, it is nice looking but internally it is not made well. It won’t compete with be... | |
| Speaker Audition IMO a typical speaker like some you have mentioned above will not offer the same sound of a horn based speaker. They usually cannot provide the open sound as horns. While horns usually do not have the bass to keep up with the rest of the speaker... | |
| Please suggest a really cheap SPDIF coaxial BNC cable for testing if my DAC is working just try an interconnect to see if the sig\aanl is coming through | |
| Vintage Kinergetics gear repair by someone that knows what they are doing? I own a KBA-75 power amp. I only have a part for the schematic for it. I also repair audio gear but have not had the time to look at mine in many years as we build our own components now that are fair superior. I am in New Jersey if you want to... | |
| Vandersteen 3a Signatures compared to Treo’s IMO I would look for a used pair of 5As. I got mine for $5K and while I am not a big Vandersteen fan boy, for that price they were hard to beat. I also build my own components so that had a much bigger impact on the sound then when I have heard ... | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? Good question. Part of the equation comes from the components. Tube, SS, etc. Some speakers have better bass, some are more open sounding but without the upstream components the sound can vary greatly. Tone to me comes from the source. IN man... | |
| Speaker cables Mid High end I have a buddy who owns AZ Hologram not sure what model but probably 10 years old. He decided to try to make his own cables from a you tube video and did a very nice job. We could not hear a difference between the DYI cables and the AZ.Happy Lis... | |
| Review: Omtec CA-25 V3 Amplifier Nice just like a Class A amplifier should sound. Very few people have heard or know of this sound. I also use Direct Heated Triode - DHT - components in my system ( we build them) which most people have no idea what they are missing.Happy Listen... | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? Kinergetics KBA 75 I Class A power anp - well I still own one. Back in the day it was a great amp in its price range but nothing special especially by todays standards. I know someone who rebuilt one completely. BUT that being said, it does not... | |
| Speaker design, KenjiT and others. I have always told my friends that a speaker cannot reproduce live instruments sound. Piano, sax, or electric guitar. But that does not mean that I cannot enjoy what I am hearing and isn't that what all this is about? If you think you can get a... |
