| Zu audio I paid shipping to get my Zu Union speakers but they paid the return shipping. They extended my return. Very fair practice just didn’t love them. | |
| Which is better, a fussy speaker or a versatile one? The versatile product typically gets boring because the performance is not quite up to the ability of the fussy (assuming the fussy can be better under x circumstance). This is where the audiophile tests both speakers, and may lose tens to hundr... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. When they start giving you their 2 cents. | |
| Help: Devore O/96 Integrated Amp + DAC suggestion Always be cautious hooking up an old dried out amp to a beautiful speaker. | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s Leben CS600 with KT66 would be great. the little 300 is great too but I liked it more for guitar and vocals than thumping bass type of music. I've owned the Mastersound 300BPSE, great amps. There's a compact 300B for sale on Audiomart from a well ... | |
| Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers? Appreciate the creative replies! I'm not knocking working people, and all these guys are working it. Just trying to state the obvious. There is much more to audiophilia than piling a bunch of gear into the corner of an apartment, or a three seaso... | |
| Anyone tired a Nordost QB4 MK III? The QX4 QB8/4 combo is really nice. I had this with Frey 2 cables all around in a Devore/Leben system. My family would experiment turning the QX4 off and we could all tell. Agree with Steakster on the transparency. | |
| Best speakers for classic rock Again??? Spoken like a simpleton....over and over What’s your real story here dude? LOL I think Atmosphere is a very talented amplifier designer. I don't know about his taste in speakers, although I'm sure he'd argue high efficiency for his ... | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? I’ve tried for slightly below market but never lowballed anyone. I also won’t inquire if someone has has a ridiculously high priced item. There’s one guy with an amp on here that’s been for sale for 3 years lol. | |
| Who to trust when buying vintage ss ? I sold and old McIntosh C28 and MC2125 because every time I hooked it up I asked myself why I was listening to this gear with a lack of focus and clarity. I loved the tone, so that saved it for a few rotations. When I do have that nostalgia, and ... | |
| Totem Mani-2 vs Devialet Phantoms Gold I try to have a little coffee before trying to find the keys :) Always been impressed with the bass from Totem. Is it their drivers or attention to driver/box dimensions? | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? Dad had a pair of ADS 910's (still has them) paired with a McIntosh 2125 and C28. Yamaha Turntable, Nakamichi Deck. He had lots of friends into audio too. I remember Stuarts Audio in Westfield NJ had talks and I would go run around with the other ... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? It depends on the design quality, but for me in general a larger speaker has made the performers and scale image larger. If that's what he means I agree. If he's using the term to mean "in the room presence" as in singer in the room, which can be ... | |
| Stupid class A question More like what it draws in heat. Probably 250-watt light bulb or so. Most of the heat in class A is wasted but worth it to me. | |
| Is there a list of full-range speakers (20-20kHz) somewhere on the internet? IME full range speakers that sound good start at around $8K. That's being generous. What's your budget? |
