| Speaker candidates/suggestions @agwca I auditioned the Bison towers, not the bookshelf speakers. They were too small for my room, unfortunately. They had great imaging and soundstage. I ended up keeping the Tektons and selling the Sugden. I kept the Belles Aria. I ended up buyi... | |
| Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver I have to agree with @nonoise @grislybutter on this one--hard to beat the Atalante 3s. I'm still breaking mine in. I traded in my Dynaudio Special 40s for the Revivals. I have a REL T7x that I occasionally used with the S40s but I haven't used... | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @gano I purchased mine (demo) from Audio Connection in NJ. Ask for Johnny Rutan---excellent dealer. https://www.audioconnect.com Hope this helps! | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @gano Look into the Belles Aria integrated. American made, 75wpc, phono stage, headphone amp. It's a great amp---lots of positive reviews on AG. Cost is $2500 but you can get a demo at a good deal. Good luck! | |
| Dynaudio Evoke 20 vs. Totem Signature One vs. Acoustic Revival Adalante 3 @billynine Will your hifi dealer let you audition the speakers at home with your own equipment, cables, etc? Let us know how it goes and what you end up getting. BTW, if you have good speaker stands, you can get the Atalante 3s without the stand... | |
| Dynaudio Evoke 20 vs. Totem Signature One vs. Acoustic Revival Adalante 3 Great choices in speakers. My two cents: I recently put my Dynaudio Special 40s on consignment at my local hifi store. I’ve owned them since 2019 and really enjoyed them----UNTIL I heard the Atalante 3s. I helped the store owner unbox them in the ... | |
| What's Up With Jane's Addiction? I saw the videos online---I'm not a huge fan of JA but like some of the other posters pointed out, the guy was def on something. You can see it in his eyes. Navarro's facial expression was like 'WTF, dude?!' Sorry the fans had to witness that espe... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Not surprised either. There are some good videos by music producer Rick Beato on Youtube about the current state of music (why it sucks). His most recent video is about the disappearance of bands. Older folks remember the best days of music and ba... | |
| Integrated Amps I'd like to add the new Advance Paris A10 integrated---my local dealer carries them and they look and sound amazing. The A10 is about $2500---hybrid. Tons of connections. You should check them out. | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album 80's kid here---I have an original copy of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' on vinyl. Truly amazing production thanks to legendary producer Trevor Horn. I sat down one evening and listened to it again from beginning to end... | |
| Dealers of High End Equipment We have a fairly new hifi store in my city and the owner couldn't be nicer---he has loaned me accessories and components to audition at home and has given me generous discounts on items I've purchased. Years ago we had a couple of decent stores bu... | |
| Listening to what we Like Instead of what we have to @megabyyte totally agree with the jazz stuff. The freeform jazz annoys me to death. LOL! We have very similar tastes in music though. As for speakers, I would also try the Revival Atalante 3s---they're about $2700. With stands around $3100. They a... | |
| A Noob Asking About Power Cables Hey--the NAD C 3050 (Crutchfield) integrated amp has HDMI. You could start with something like Blue Jeans cables---they get great reviews and are reasonable. Or maybe Audioquest Evergreen cables. You could also update your speaker cables as well. ... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I still have 100% of my vinyl and about 95% of my CD collection. I sold off a few CDs years ago knowing I would never listen to them again (mostly CD singles). I stream about 95% of the time as well. I still have a ton of DJ only/promo CDs that I... | |
