| Legacy XD series for tube amplifier thoughts @desalvo55 Legacy makes some of the best speakers considering performance to the dollar. The XD offerings are a great way of enabling the speakers to work well with tube amplification. I am now an official installer/reseller of Legacy products, bu... | |
| T and A D 200 Dac @mpomerantz Mike, the model is T+A DAC 200, and as a dealer, I own one and have compared it to a lot of other DACs. I do post about it pretty often on these forums. It’s my favorite unit south of $15K and has a true preamp stage built in, in case ... | |
| OMG Moment This is true, the Sabrina’s tweeter is fairly low, as was my Yvette’s when I owned Wilsons. I believe in the manual Wilson provides some guidance on setting tweeter height by adjusting the spikes, but that may change how the whole speaker sounds a... | |
| Pro-Ject Tube Amp DS Settings Most HOMC cartridges just use the same loading as a MM cart. Based on the loading calculator, it seems the nominal for that cartridge would be 43db of gain, so you may want to experiment and see if the 50db of gain may be more dynamic than than th... | |
| OMG Moment @vonhelmholtz That album is also quite psychadelic with the soundstage, which is why I shared it. :) But slumping down so your head is on the couch will, yes, result in changes in the dispersion, but also potentially introduce reflections coming ... | |
| Selling on Audiogon @paulg1966 I wasn’t always a dealer, but through this whole time (even when I was selling personal gear), I’ve always started with a no-returns policy. That said, I do care about my buyers’ happiness and typically take the time to make sure the it... | |
| Selling on Audiogon Also, with headphones, you might be better off selling listing them on Head-Fi. I don’t think there’s as big of a headphone user market perusing through Audiogon, but there’s no harm in listing them in both marketplaces. USAudioMart is another goo... | |
| Another one (server) bites the dust! Aurender N10 vs. N200 @budburma Congrats! Which Antipodes did you land on? From what I recall, they tend to do well using the AES output more than anything else, so consider that if you are not already using it. Most modern music servers will benefit greatly from quali... | |
| Another one (server) bites the dust! Aurender N10 vs. N200 @budburma I was just talking to someone about the N200 vs the N10 today and was reminded of this thread. Did you ever move forward one way or another? Curious to hear where you landed. | |
| Concrete Slabs Exactly where would you be pouring concrete? From my understanding, while concrete would help resonances somewhat for isolating components on your rack, the larger benefit is to get the most performance out of your speakers. Resonances from the sp... | |
| help me choose between Audionet and Constellation Audio @dpm2340 Choosing between the two will come down to your sonic preferences. From my experience, Audionet is exceptional every step of the way, but it prioritizes a rich tonal density and balance (that many electronics manufacturers can only dream ... | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? @p05129 I have heard the XVX and the Lansche in different rooms with different electronics, but I still have a very clear understanding of what each speaker delivers. In my suggestion, I provided one that I thought would most closely resemble the ... | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? @stringreen Have you been to many of those lately? We just saw Muse in concert last weekend and the first thing my wife said was “this sounds shitty, I’ve been spoiled by your system.” :) | |
| Axpona 2023 The Gold Pass is sold out but all others are available. I’ll be attending and helping out with a few exhibitors. Happy to meet anyone who will be there! | |
| DId you get that paperwork from the IRS about purchasing? over $600.00 @gmosley This was delayed by the IRS for this tax year. It was in the news a month or two ago. They will put it into effect this coming year. |
