| Advice on going from mid level to high end Philosophical? Okay- Being an audiophile is like being a mosquito in a nudist camp. You know what you want, but have no idea where to start. | |
| LUXMAN 505u? If you look at the importer site you will see that it has lots of "ness" to it. It didn't compare well to the Ayre integrated I had at the time or the McIntosh 6500 IMO.Luxman is trying to win back the mid to upper end high fi and IMHO they are do... | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... It can be wall mounted. Smart, as this will keep guest from standing on it. It would be wise not to use this in your bathroom system. Anyone hear it and how much $$$? | |
| Your definition of soundstage Listened to the Rockport Aquila with Spectral gear over the weekend. Very nice, deep, tonally accurate soundstage. I listened to all kinds of music, including live AC/DC, with a 20 foot deep soundstage and the band perfectly placed. The tonal and ... | |
| Entry level CDP If you are on a limited budget and looking for better sound you might consider a website called Audiogon. I've purchased several units from this site and it helps bridge the gap between high fidelity and quality at a lower cost.I can't remember th... | |
| Good Sounding Speaker that Won't Attract Thieves? Fasten a string to the back of one of them and attach it to the ceiling with eye hooks. Run that string through several more eye hooks and tie it to the trigger of a 12 gauge shotgun mounted across the room. Preferably all this is built into the c... | |
| Your definition of soundstage Listens2tubes, I don't have enough experience with room treatment to argue your point but wouldn't that mean a change in speakers would also need a significant change in room treatment?Der, a fun cd if you like Jerry Gonzalez is Y Los Pirates Del ... | |
| Your definition of soundstage Thanks for the interesting and informative responses. I agree with what has been said and continue to learn from you all daily.My real re-interest in soundstage stems from a demo back when the Devore Nines came out. I owned the Super 8 at the time... | |
| B&W Speaker Boxes - Advice Don't do it! I would pay 10% more for a speaker if it is properly packed for shipping. If you ever decide to go for the 803d, and you might, you will regret selling the boxes.Put them in the attack or hang them in an upper corner of the garage wit... | |
| Using an herbal vaporizer around hi-fi equipment Send me an ounce to examine. I will "study" it and get back to you. | |
| Anyone tried Quantum Resonant Technology? Krell_man, did you use the QX4 with the Resonant Tech QB4 or QB8? I've heard that this combination is necessary to get the best results. Some also plug the Thor into the QB unit. Have not tried this $$$ combo. Ozzy, I can't keep the models straigh... | |
| Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks You are wasting your time trying to be efficient with your stereo. The average system I've seen around here costs maybe $20 per month. Try to get the whole house off the grid and you will do some justice.Solar thermal heating with massive concrete... | |
| New JJ KT77 I just put a pair of Genelex Golden Lion KT77's in my VAC Avatar integrated. It's been less that 20 hours but my initial impression is very positive. I agree with what Kiteflier said, better extension on both ends. They may have better clarity tha... | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? I just read more of the thread and see you are not interested in tubes. Sorry, but you have a novel, if not, a long short story going on Agon at this point ;-)Get the Luxman, get the Verity's, report back. It's a big investment so on the other han... | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? The m800a is a fine amp and would be real nice with the Verities. Have you thought about going the used tube route and getting something like an ARC ref 110 and ls26 pre? Close on $$$ and this is a very nice combination with the Parisfal. ARC is a... |
