| Dealers with excellent listening rooms? Blackbag20… yes, that is my room. I had no idea it was being used on the millercarbon site. All the photos on the Rhapsody page are just from me and my iphone camera, though not the one on the millercarbon site. You will see some of my images on ... | |
| Dealers with excellent listening rooms? Thanks “mikelavigne” for the nod to Rhapsody.Audio. I host one of the west coast Rhapsody locations in my home just outside Portland. As always, there is the reality what someone hears in a showroom (or any room for that matter) isn’t going to com... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Somebody said buy some Maggies give the rest to charity... aside from what another contributor said Alzyvox Botticelli are a different world from Maggies, the second part of the statement is a good one. When you get to the pearly-gates, the giving... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Diesis, Alsyvox, and Bayz are all very room friendly speakers, more so than Wilson (in my opinion). To get the full potential of Wilson will take more time tweaking setup than any of the speakers mentioned above, yet all speakers benefit from care... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? The OP didn't ask for your value judgements on how to spend his money. He asked for comparisons of speakers currently on the market near his price point—because he had heard the Wilson Alexx V and wanted to know what else might compare. A rather o... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? I’ll bite… Last year, around this time, my wife asks just how much spend had occurred over the year, she was noticing the new cartridge (Etsuro Gold), the new phono stage (CS Port), and the new bespoke phono cable (LFD). Since we’re in our 60’s, ... | |
| dCS Rossini vs. Berkeley Reference dac 2 Aldenberry, while not directly related to this thread, you mentioned comparing Lynn Klimax DS3 to dCS Rossini. What was your take away? I also deal with Definitive up in Seattle. | |
| Anyone Used REW-Room EQ Wizard? Revive an old thread... I have a computer feeding a DAC feeding a preamp feeding a power amp feeding the speakers. I have a new USB microphone and loaded Room EQ Wizard. I typically use JRiver to deliver FLAC files to my DAC. With REW loaded, it s... | |
| What tonearm to replace Satisfy on Performance SE? Manitunc, thanks for the nod to the Audiomods arm. There is apparently a dealer in the Seattle area. I'll have to check 'em out. | |
| What tonearm to replace Satisfy on Performance SE? Thanks Drubin, I was hoping to gain some knowledge from the folks here before pinging Jay. I don't want to take the time of a retailer when I am at this point just beginning to learn about options and feasibility. | |
| ARC PH-8 And how do you feel about the PH-8 now that several months have passed? | |
| Has anyone yet heard the Wilson Sophia 3 ? Thewho, what other speakers did you audition before the Sophia 3s? What ultimately led you to choose the Wilsons? | |
| Finding Pure Water for Record Cleaning - very long I just stumbled on this thread. My company sells a hybrid reverse osmosis/deionization system for home drinking water purification and this is what I also use to rinse my records. You can really tell when the soap is gone because the water will be... | |
| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not My recent experience with non-ARC purchased tubes... I bought a used REF110 last summer. I then ordered a matched "octet" from Upscale Audio which I, foolishly, put aside in storage until I chose to retube in February. Well, the octet was not well... | |
| Any info on the new Audio Research VS115 tube amp? My amp now is nearing 1000 hours... I decided that would be an appropriate amount of time to have elapsed and decided to check the bias. At first, I too was a little confused about the test points and adjusting screws, but it became obvious after ... |
