How to listen to the good stuff? Some dealers have excellent rooms and others do not. Maybe they rely upon the salesman to identify the best system that will fit your room. It seems like you have been to the latter and are just not satisfied. Do you read Socrates? Perhaps you are... | |
Ayre AX7e MP vs ARC CD3 mk2 Thank you for the thoughts. I can't find anything wrong with the Ayre and agree than it is a state of the art player. I'll try to search out members that have the ARC and might want to trade for a while.Efner, I don't think ARC will repair the CD1... | |
Ayre AX7e MP vs ARC CD3 mk2 Thanks for the reply Theo, I am using an SP16 and CX7eMP combination and agree with you on the good synergy between these components. It probably doesn't warrant the effort to list, pack, ship, have to deal with warranty issues etc.Any other compa... | |
Zu Soul Superfly Zumart. | |
Zu Soul Superfly Says $3495 when I looked. Cosmic carbon is in short supply and the next space shuttle doesn't launch till November. When they get more cosmic carbon the price will go down. | |
Looking for warm sounding speakers Reynaud's have a natural warmth that doesn't get in the way of transparency or timbre. They are lesser known for lack of US dealers but worth seeking out if have a chance. | |
Audio Research Preamp Experts? I have a SP16 and find in to be a great match with my speakers and other components. I think you need to define what it is that you are looking to combine with your system. What is your goal? | |
Sealing ported enclosure to reduce boom I had a pair of B&W's with what they called "bungs." I always got a kick out of that one. Seriously though, can every speaker have it's port sealed off? Could this damage a woofer in a design that was intended to "breath" more. | |
I need a lower gain 12au7 for Mastersound A friend lent me a 300 BPSE I think it was (24 watt 300b) and it was such a beautiful amplifier. I don't remember anything but a black quiet noise floor and beautiful blooming music with that amp.Is it something you notice during playback or is it... | |
The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close Probably couldn't pull it off for lack of horse and buggy parking. Can you get a horse and buggy through the Holland tunnel these days?I imagine audio sales in a large city to be trying on the patience. All those tire kickers and lowballers coming... | |
Sound of Zu Soul Superfly vs Zu Druid Speakers I would go with the one that makes you less paranoid. Probably the Soul but I have not heard it. Lots of great info, no need to look further.Actually just kidding. I lost more money on a Zu purchase than any other audio deal, including plus 10k st... | |
Summertime ss amp Question Wow those look hot. Do you get any ball rash mid summer?Why not look at Luxman 800 or Esoteric A-03. These will at least compare to what you have even though they are above your range. | |
2k$ speakers that meet my criteria? I would say Verity but you will have to up the budget some. Sacrifice a bit and look at Devore. | |
Rockport Aquila vs Altair I've heard the Aquila a few times at Goodwin's in Boston. It was a while ago but I remember the huge deep soundstage and ability for this speaker to bring the venue to the room.Many speakers bring some of the venue to you but I felt like I was at ... | |
Why do old tubes sound better than current tubes? Bpoletti, bong or vaporizer vacuum? Well done! |
