| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? Only you can understand what you will hear from these combinations. I’d suggest that if you have the means, or can maybe buy used or with a return policy, get two amps side by side at some point... I’d suggest the 300b and the El34. Get them when... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components I bought the Iso and the Nobsound. The Nobsound are under my amp and the Iso are packed up with the return shipping label in the back of my car. I tried the Nobsound under my sub and the results were interesting. I actually had to turn the sub up ... | |
| Gershman Studio 2 @rawlit im not sure what to give for a power recommendation but I'll tell you that I had the Cornwall 4 in my house at the same time as the Studio 2. I had a Coda CSIB 150 wpc. With the Cornwall I would have the set the digital volume at 18 for ea... | |
| VAC and Kevin Hayes are totally unresponsive. What's up with that? I've called VAC several times and they are awesome. Maybe you are going to spam? TMaybe they have an old tube based answering machine a dial up. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses Has anyone had their system in one place for six months with no changes and added a fuse. I can understand there being a huge difference if you changed the fuse and got new speakers, etc. if so, what percent better are we looking at 2-5% 15%? I wi... | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided My business over the years has led to relationships and sources of gear too good to pass up. I took it upon myself to ride the roller coaster, sometimes making money, other times coming out even, occassionally behind. I recommend looking at how ... | |
| Experiences by Owners of Lyngdorf Integrated Amps using the Room Correct feature Here is one long love fest. Some of these guys are now promoting other gear just as hard. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/who-has-luv-for-the-lyngdorf-2170-and-is-thinking-about-the-3400 | |
| Experiences by Owners of Lyngdorf Integrated Amps using the Room Correct feature I tried this amp with a pair of Devore Nines and Verity Parsifals and I ended up not keeping it. The Lyngdorf chapter of my hifi life made me realize that when a group of motivated and well intentioned individuals start an audio thread about the g... | |
| Mcintosh amp stock pwr cord only 4 ft??? I've never had a need for more than 3-4ft. If you are going to enter the world of trying various cords, like I've done, try to buy 5ft as those seem to be the most desireable lengths. If you really need 10-12 ft I'd recommend getting some outlets ... | |
| World's Best Speakers For 2021 ? I tried the little stand mount Gershman. Really interesting speaker that was never fatiguing but lacked detail. It was a two way with a woofer that went down to 25hz. This was a lesson in compromises to have a subwoofer and tweeter try to do midra... | |
| Tube integrated amp recommendations I' owned the CS600 and can say it's a great amp but be careful with your speaker pairing as it is a bit accentuated (IMO) in the midrange. I spent a fair bit of time and money on tubes trying to calm it down and ultimately sold it. | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD Try to listen to Verity Audio at that price point. Incredible holographic image and you can really tune them with amp selection. Lots of great options mentioned here. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses All the anti tweakers have just about bitten off their fingernails. The other side waits eagerly as an email to Tammy's rests in their browser. This place is going to implode. Sorry | |
| Belles Aria Signature and other Int Amp recommendation I tried a Belles Aria briefly a few years ago with Devore Nines. I never connected with it. It sounded over controlled- like you could hear the amp gripping the speakers. It may have just been a bad match. The Coda is a nice amp and I regret selli... | |
| Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables Ozzy, I appreciate your opinion on these. I find it refreshing when people take the time to tactfully post contrary positions. I sometimes do the same, and try to never to be negative, or wish a designer harm. I think like sight, we all have basic... |
