| Proac Ribbon Tweeters Damaged Growing up we had a large with room with McIntosh gear and a pair of ADS 910 speakers. When I played music too loud, with the loudness or the bass up too high on the C28 preamp, the 910 tweeter fuse would blow. Looking back, my father was quite ... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? I like my Rel Stadium 3. I had to have the amp rebuilt (probably about 15 years old and I’ve owned it for 8). Sounds better to me than the S/3 I bought and used while it was gone. | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? Elizabeth- LOL would you suggest neon lights?One thing to keep in mind is that this is a hobby for most people on these forums, but serious business for others. As a hobbyist I'll pay extra to funnel through a few amps to find the right one, or s... | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience Part of the hobby for me has always been experimenting with different amps, speakers, etc. in my own home. I helped a dealer with setup for a few years and was fortunate to be paid gear instead of cash (side work with benefits). That and buying ... | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like I’ll give this a try after owning a 590AII with Verity speakers and a 550AX with Devore speakers.Warm side of neutral, bit of golden hue to the music.Very clean and clear at low and mid volumes but not the best at higher volumes. I always detected... | |
| ***Going Insane***End Game Speakers***Harbeth Verity or Living Voice*** I can’t speak for the other two speakers but in my opinion the verity line really starts to get good at the Parsifal level. Over the years I’ve owned the Tamino Finn and Parsifal Encore. | |
| Roon Nucleus If someone could please tell me if I am missing something with Roon search or history. I have multiple artist with names a tad different, we all do. If I search Michael Kiwanuka for example, every letter of his last name needs to be perfect and ... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification I recently tried two class d amps in my own home, I do every five or so years. One was made by a small Japanese company, and remarkably good, but as the week went on, I turned it on less an less. The second was also interesting with more feature... | |
| Joseph Audio RM-33LE vs DeVore Gibbon 8, my experience. Awesome choice! | |
| Joseph Audio RM-33LE vs DeVore Gibbon 8, my experience. I think your next step should be to toss a tube amp into the mix. I’ve had a lot of speakers and different amps and I’ve always found Devore speakers to really sing with tubes. Never heard the Joseph’s so can compare but I think you will hear a ... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) I really enjoyed the Verity Parsifal Encore. When they pop up for around $5k in good condition they usually sell in a day. A pair was listed last night. Gone this morning. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. The amp was new and I was able to put about 220 hours on it at high power levels before really deciding. Cables were stock, Nordost Frey2 and Wireworld Electra. I used the internal Dac with USB. I gave it a fair trial and it just never sounded ... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. I had the opportunity to try the 2170 over the last week and a half in my home. I was impressed with some of what the Lyngdorf did, but felt it was not close to my sound preferences. I left the audition puzzled at how members are gravitating tow... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification I've tried two digital amps in my system over the past 6 months and didn't end up keeping either of them. One was a SPEC from Japan and the other was the 2170. I tried them both with Devore Nines and just wanted to love them. I wanted the simpl... | |
| Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice? I had a Nordost QX4 and QB8 in my system for around 8 years. I could always tell when it was on or off and had condicted a few blind tests with friends and family over the years. It added a certain vibrancy and texture to the music while maintaini... |
