| Axpona 2024 who is going and why? Hey guys, I’ll be attending for both a business and pleasure. I’ll arrive on Thursday afternoon to help with some setup, attend the industry mixer, and then be at the show from Fri-Sun morning, driving back to Minnesota mid day. I’d love to meet a... | |
| Noir album recommendations Twin Danger’s 2014 self titled album, which features the late Vanessa Bley’s sultry vocals and Stuart Matthewman on sax. Stuart is a long-time guitarist and sax player for Sade. | |
| Vivid Audio Moya 1 loudspeakers. I have. I’m a Vivid Audio dealer and own the G1 Spirit. One of the best speakers I’ve ever heard even to those in the $200K+ range. I can only imagine the Moya M1 optimally set up in a large room with excellent electronics, but I can’t imagine man... | |
| The time has come and I request advice... @2psyop Out of curiosity, what digital cable are you using between the Node X and your Denafrips? What cables are you using in the rest of your system? And what sonic chracteristics of your digital playback are you currently unhappy with... what d... | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono @ron325 Margules dealer here. The Margules ACRH-4 runs $4,800, and it is significantly better than the ACRH-3. It’s very involving and sounds like a true tube amplifier given warmth and harmonics despite its hybrid design, while having good contro... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @mgrif104 @cundare2 Thank you both for your kind comments and advocacy. It’s greatly appreciated. :) @doyle3433 Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the two rooms. I’m glad your findings matched my experiences and assumptions. With the Aurender ro... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher A pair of Pulsar 2 Graphene just popped up on USAM. I have no affiliation, it just reminded me of this thread. Price is a bit higher than your budget but worth looking into. Looking at past listing, I’ve seen dealers sell this for les... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @cundare2 Having personal experience with both brands, as well as having the AP20 on the floor, all I can say is that T+A will have slightly better harmonics and soul. The AP20 is an exceptional unit nonetheless and satisfies those looking for a p... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @doyle3433 Being both a T+A and Aurender dealer, I would love to hear your early thoughts on the differences in the sonics of these two rooms. I was the first dealer to purchase the AP20 in the USA and recently wrote a really lengthy evaluation of... | |
| Shopping for a DAC at AXPONA @jmeyers The DACs you mention have different sonic characteristics. MSB for example will be more organic and harmonic, where the Bartok and Lumin tend to be more technical. If you think about what qualities you want, you will likely be able to nar... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @signaforce Though I’ve heard other Rogue preamps, I have no experience with the RP-1. In this case, you’re talking about 12AU7 vs the OP’s 6922 (and complements), so sonic qualities are a bit different. The Brimar CV4003 is one of my favorite 1... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @tvad As I mentioned, it’s not available to all beta testers. In the email I received, there are instructions on how to request for the support team to install it on my floor units. They have to manually remote in and update the firmware. I will b... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @tvad I am using Conductor 4.10.8 on my N30SA. I have not yet submitted a request to upgrade it to Roon Ready and will try to do so this coming week. Per Aurender’s email to me, it requires 4.10 to work. | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @audphile1 and @tvad it looks like you have to be an Aurender dealer or industry partner to enable Roon at the moment, and it requires submitting a support ticket with validating info. So this is still not available to all beta testers yet! | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @wlutke The N200 presents sonics in a very linear, neutral way with lots of snap and dynamics. As a dealer that has had one on my floor for years, I have not heard it be grainy, but you also do get considerably more tonal richness and organic pres... |
