Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
I do yoga in my room with the O/93's, and so I listen at all positions. I find them pretty engaging 3 feet into the room and 5-6 feet away.  This distance probably removes some of the room reflections from the equation.  They do like to be pulled ...

The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D
The best experience I’ve had with class D was with a low powered unit by SPEC.  I’m curious if Atmosphere is familiar with their amps.  In the end I found I was listening less, so it got the axe.  I’ll be skeptical of class D after that sham of a ... 
New silversmith fidelium cable
Ozzy how long did you keep them? I picked up a European class d amp with room correction a few years ago based on forum feedback. People were replacing tube systems, and it was all the rage. What a piece of junk. I kept it for 2 weeks and couldn't... 
Cables for Leben/Devore- Nordost?
David, I took a closer look and found a great review and some positive threads on the Fidelium.  How long have you had these in your system?  Did you notice the soundstage layering to be better?  The Nordost were capable of great natural transient... 
New silversmith fidelium cable
Is everyone continuing to enjoy these cables?  I know that sometimes components that offer a new way of looking at things can sometimes run there course long term.  I read the Soundadvocate review and they seem intriguing. Thanks! 
Cables for Leben/Devore- Nordost?
Ebm I tried Purist Aqueous cables many years ago and really liked them.  I'll have a look or listen, good thought.    
Cables for Leben/Devore- Nordost?
Thanks guys.  @Three_easy_payments, I like what you say about immediacy and I understand what you are saying.  That's something I always look for so I appreciate your thoughts. I also have some experience with WW.  Can you toss a word of two about... 
Never Used -- in Sealed Box
Dealers have to buy minimums to carry product lines.  Thinning the herd.  
1st Post Intro & Ramblings
I spent a good amount of time researching good components because I wanted it to sound good.  I don't care if it looks good I only want it to sound good. I spent good money got everything home and have good components because good sound comes from... 
$7000 preamp vs $700 receiver - Is the difference THAT significant?
“Nothing Else Matters”. Why does Qobuz have loads of  Metallica but Tidal has zero?  Sucks big time. 
$7000 preamp vs $700 receiver - Is the difference THAT significant?
McIntosh makes really nice American gear. They use high quality components that make sense, and can be sourced around the world if needed. They’re not designed by some yahoo that will smolt exotic metal that nobody will be able to figure it out wh... 
Speakers for Manley amps
@esputnix What Manley amps do you have?  I like the look of the 300B monoblocks.  Anyone he any experience with them? 
Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings
Search “Leben tube chart” to get an idea of how flexible it can be. Beautiful amp.  
$7000 preamp vs $700 receiver - Is the difference THAT significant?
I’d look at the big picture. If you can set your speakers up properly that’s a big plus.  If you have one in a corner and another in a hallway, you might see tonal differences but don’t expect miracles.  If you have great setup and amp you can hea...
