| The new Borresen M1's...a new direction? @mihorn I would encourage you to stop promoting your speakers in an unrelated thread. It is one thing for dealers and manufacturers to comment positively about equipment when there are inquiries directly related to said product, especially if the ... | |
| Phono Preamp Settings @harropmv While I really enjoyed the original tube box s when I was starting out, I found the MC stage of the unit to be a bit noisier. I’m not sure if they improved the sonics in the tube box s2, but even if it’s marginal, perhaps consider upgrad... | |
| Phono Preamp Settings I owned the Tube Box S many years ago and went up the 2M chain so I knew exactly where to look. :) | |
| Looking for advise with selecting next integrated amp @vladedelman Given your sonic desires, I would suggest looking at the Margules I-240 Integrated, which retails at $7K. There’s a nice review online that compares it to McIntosh separates. I’m a Margules dealer and have both the integrated and sepa... | |
| Phono Preamp Settings Look at page 2 of the original Tube Box S manual, as it has settings for the 2M Red. The Bronze has the exact same loading settings, so they should be set the same: https://www.project-audio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Manual_Tube-Box-S.pdf | |
| The new Borresen M1's...a new direction? I have heard the M1’s at shows and am always floored by them. Of course there are at times that I wish they went lower. I don’t think the goal of them is to sell as many as they can. I think it’s about them achieving a certain level of performance... | |
| Rank your least favorite. Trying to avoid Al poor purchase. A few others to consider in the price range, which I would pick over the choices you provided: Modwright PH 9.0 - This is a giant killer. Typically $3K used, but sometimes it pops up for less that $2500. I post about this unit on these forums, do... | |
| 2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report @mbmi Thank you for the correction, you're right, it's the X3, not S3. I'd love to hear these speakers next to the Scansonic MB-B line, which I am a dealer for. @rick2000 I agree the Borresen Z Cryo line is incredible. Up until this month, the Bo... | |
| 2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report @passthedutchie These three systems truly were the standouts, and in different ways. Margules/Raidho was the most soulful, emotional, but colored of the three. High End By Oz (Lansche/Thrax) was right in between with honesty, expansiveness and res... | |
| 2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report @snapsc I don’t think it has anything to do with price but about distinction and impact. Any brand, in order to be successful, needs to deliver a great experience with distinction and leave a lasting impact in its target audience. Many times brand... | |
| How hot is hot when moving from class a/b to to a or tubes? @mpoll1 It’s my pleasure, and welcome to the community. | |
| How hot is hot when moving from class a/b to to a or tubes? It would be a good move for you to try Class A and/or tube equipment given your Zu. I tried a number of solid state Class A with my soul Superfly when I owned them, but I much preferred tube equipment with high efficiency drivers. And low watt als... | |
| 2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report I didn’t have a room, but I did work at the DH Labs booth for part of the show, have been to a number of these shows, and am in contact with distributors and manufacturers across the country. Show appearance is generally about relevance building, ... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 tweeter repair/replacement Try Paragon Sight and Sound in Ann Arbor. They are known nationally and are a major Wilson dealer. You can call them directly and they tend to provide good service. | |
| 2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report @whitestix A few moderately priced speakers stood out: Joseph Audio Pulsar - the Joseph Audio room has been mentioned a few times in this thread, but not a lot of credit was given specifically to the Pulsar speakers he had. For bookshelves, they ... |
