Borresen X3 at Axpona
I agree they sound wonderful for the price. I just wish they looked as good as the higher end lines. I’m not fond of the cabinet and baffle design as well as the checkered print on the speakers.  The X3 is basically their response to Scansonic MB... 
New Model Alert = Aurender AP20 Integrated amplifier.
@hgeifman “Superb” is subjective based on sonic preferences and personal standards. I found that while the unit sounded very clean, it did not have the richer harmonics that I appreciate in some upper-echelon solid state amplifiers from T+A, Audio... 
New Model Alert = Aurender AP20 Integrated amplifier.
I agree, the Aurender AP20 sounded really good. It’s not going to be endgame reference for diehard audiophiles that are accustomed to reference separates, but it will be endgame for most. I would love to hearing streaming on this against, say, the... 
DH Labs
Hey @gochurchgo I sent you a message earlier regarding the Deity, not sure if you got it. Happy to chat about them in more detail.   
Margules ACRH - 3
Congratulations on the new amplifier! I am a Margules dealer and have been very impressed with how involving and engaging the sonics are from their equipment. I don’t have the ACRH-3 but have heard it at shows (listened to it a bit as Julian Margu... 
T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers
@ozzy You heard the previous generation, the Solitaire CWT. Those were also very good. The new, larger S 540 should be the replacement for that speaker given size and style (four side firing woofers on each speaker, larger sealed cabinets), but it... 
2023 AXPONA Show Report
@bubba12 Sure, would love to meet. I’ll be working at the DH Labs booth a bit, but also splitting time between the T+A room and AV Luxury International when I’m not exploring on my own. Feel free to PM and I can share my cell if you want to coordi... 
T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers
Hey @oranfoster, thanks for your compliments. Yes, the speakers do come with speaker grills if one does not want to see the drivers, or if they prefer to have the grills on for protection. The grills are magnetic and snap on and off quite easily. ... 
Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN
I don’t believe this survey was ever intended to prove whether power cables change or improve the quality of sound, but to share the opinions and trends of the community. Part of any community is a sense of belonging based on shared value, and opi... 
Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN
@waytoomuchstuff I’ll be happy to take it on. I’m preparing a lot for AXPONA but perhaps I can get an initial thread out by tomorrow night with some thoughts on future surveys and see what people might be most curious about. For me, beyond types ... 
Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN
Thank you again for designing this survey. The results are helpful to me in better understanding the values of the community, of which many I share!  
T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers
@woots I PM'ed you some opinions/experiences I have on the T+A HV amplification so as to not derail this thread. Let me know if you do not get the message. @ronboco The Rockport Avior II are no slouch! I looked at your virtual system and am jealo... 
Aural recalibration
I loved listening to them in the early 2000’s. It’s great to hear they’re still going strong. I’m sure they put on a hell of a performance.   
T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers
@bhvf You sound like a model customer. Thank you for supporting your local dealer! Where did you move to recently? I have had a lot of love for Devore. I used to live less than two miles from John Devore’s workshop in Flushing, Queens. Steve Cohe... 
T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers
@bhvf I also have the Talis S 300 on my floor. I really enjoy the voicing and dynamics of those speakers. The Solitaires build on that tone and voicing, but the level of transparency, detail, and holographic imaging is levels above and beyond. If ...
