| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs The Coda is great but for the money the lights should turn off when you power it down. Looks a bit like a Star Wars prop but a favorite of mine so far. I thought the lack of a volume knob would bother me but over time it's nice to be able to fine ... | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs I bought the 550AII when it first came out and years later in another system a 550AX. I don't think the thought lean ever came to my mind in the 4 or 5 combined years I owned them. Is it possible that this is coming from another part of the system... | |
| Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck I would suggest experimenting with your listening position. No matter if the system is $10,000 or $500,000, I prefer to be closer to the speakers. I'm not saying to hurt hearing or blast them in your ears but once I get more than 15 feet away, unl... | |
| Who uses ADS Speakers My dad came home with a pair of ADS 910's in around 1978. I was five. He's had a few McIntosh setups over the years. Still going- he has them in his shop. | |
| Audiogon resolutions for 2022 - #1 less exaggeration when it comes to system changes Certainly an improvement over some of the silly statements you see. I think the important thing to keep in mind is that everyone has a different outlook on life. A small improvement to one person is life altering to another. Peoples statements nee... | |
| Video, Why dont audiophiles listen to each other. A little off topic but I've never pushed the "report this" button. Does it go to Tammy's Iphone for review? Is there a senior leadership team that reviews these post? 😂 is it a keywork algorithm? I spend around 6 years off Audiogon and it seems l... | |
| Architectural Digest finally shows audio gear! Great post. I know from experience in owning the O/93 that when people place speakers in this way they are sacrificing a good portion of the performance they are paying for. Then I walk in to my house after work to find my wife dancing and singing... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver I think it’s important to discover the kind of presentation you are looking for. In my experience wide baffle speakers throw a very different presentation than narrow tower style speakers. Obviously horns give a different presentation than others ... | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer I tried to get him to sell me one of these two Rel S/3's 4 years ago and he wouldn't break up the pair. I've always wondered what the heck was going on to have them years later, but maybe he does, maybe not. The mystery is getting free advertisin... | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer Most of the threads you have started are complaining about others. This may be legit, but maybe your style of communication is challenging for some? Just a thought, but I also know that dealers are busy and needing to sort real buyers from tire ki... | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? @ Nickatnoon61, are you tube or solid state vegan, anti satanic, possibly conservative hockey player audiophile? Great 1st post btw. Another thread on track! | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? I've found speakers > amps > source > isolation > cables.. Within all this the poorest performing link will place limitations on the best. For example, a great interconnect will get murdered going through poor speaker cables. Trying t... | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer The defense to the bait and switch is always a killer sob story. | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver Easy to drive 8 ohm impedance and 95 db sensitivity is a very desirable combination. @charles1dad re Fyne- Can you point to the easy to drive 8 Ohm impedance? I can’t find any curve info except for the 501, which says 3 to 30 ohm with nominal 8... | |
| When to Amp it Up? Did you hear the speakers prior to purchasing them? Just asking because it can be difficult to assess a system without an anchor component that you have had some time with. For instance maybe it's not the amp but the speaker... The current crop ... |
