| Speaker for Line Magnetic LM 518IA in Large Room @dkidknow pair of Proac D28 just popped up on USAM might be worth considering. Just don’t consider too long. | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components ⬆️ This reads like a pamphlet for a singles cruise in the 80’s. | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components The Nobsound springs arrived yesterday and I put them under my Audio Note Cobra. This amp has been sitting on an Ethan Allen wooden cabinet, beautiful, but not an audiophile accessory. The change is pretty dramatic- more dimension, better focus, j... | |
| Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used Agreed about the Avatar SE in triode, not so much ultralinear. You should probably look for a tube amp that can play both triode and UL. The CAV can be wired to do triode but it's a project, no a switch, although you can probably make a switch. | |
| Has Nordost forgotton who pays the bills? I've dealt with the people from Nordost over the years and they are very helpful and considerate of both new and used purchases. I've also known dealers that have represented them. Everyone is trying to get a cut in the cable game. Some dealers ar... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components I ordered a set of the Nobsound and a set of Oreas to try under my tube amp. I'll report back with some observations later this week. | |
| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help I almost went for the GR12’s. The O/93 was a poor match for me. I’ve found my mojo again in a pair of Verity Otello’s. The ups/ downs and unknowns of audiophilia are all blessings on the path.Mastersound makes great sounding amp too. | |
| Nordost Power Cables - my latest experience Just be careful if you have the older design Q bases. I pulled a cord out a few years ago and a white lightning bolt nearly took me out. I pulled it without securing the base which was a mistake. They graciously replaced it with a new one but I a... | |
| Grateful Dead- Sotheby's Auction It's amazing what people will pay for American culture. One of those McIntosh amps went for $378,000. I had one of those old SS amps and it sounded like the voice was coming out of a basketball sized hole in the singers chest cavity. | |
| Grateful Dead- Sotheby's Auction https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2021/from-the-vault-property-from-the-grateful-dead-and-frie...I like the story behind this one. With this much acid that mask machine will talk. | |
| Opinions Please - New Prodduction Sophia EL34ST Coke Bottle Any other members try the above tubes? I've used the newer Mullards, EH. Any comparisons appreciated. | |
| Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables Has anyone compared the Fidelium to something like a Nordost Frey 2? | |
| Sugden/Allnic or Luxman L-509X? Wahoostewjr- curious is the Sugden a little more neutral than the Luxman? I’ve owned various Luxman amps for 20 years and one day I just stepped away from the golden tone and never looked back. I also have a A21 that was a soundstage champ but I f... | |
| SET the best? @Atmosphere - boring is kind of crude for my description so I'll tell you what my 10 year old at the time said- We were listening to Metallica comparing the Luxman 590AXII to the SPEC (intro integrated but like $6K) with Devore Nines.He thought th... | |
| Speakers Damaged via FedEx, A Neverending Love Story I once bought a pair of Spendor D7's from TMR. They were in the original double box plus they rigged up a third box with some foam board inside and one sheet taped to the exterior (all snug). They showed up without any damage. As a hobbyist, it's ... |
