HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?
What CHAYRO said...   "Spend enough money so the next step up is either financially or logistically impossible."   
??? Full Loom vs Mix ???
As said by others...unless you can A-B test cables in a system, any use of memory is suspect to me. I think, I hope, most of us can agree synergy is a real thing in pairing pieces of equipment. I think it also exists in mixing cables. If synergy i...

mbmi...I am pulling for my X2's as there is much to love about them. The bass is just uncanny in its presence and accuracy and the details it reveals in the music make my Sopra 2's sound muddled. However, and I'm not going to make a decision for a...

I have been working with Paul at Stillpoints…I have asked for input by QLN Prestige owners…thanks  
QLN Prestige 3
I have 5 Stillpoint Aperture 2’s and a few bass traps.

I forgot to add, the bass on the X2's is far more dynamic, fast, present than I would ever expect for such a small speaker. Anything positive you hear about bass on these X models I think you can take it as true. I am waiting on REL S510's to pair...

Thanks for the input. As I mentioned in another thread...I bought these four month old Borresen X2's from an owner who had ordered big Wilson speakers and wanted something in the interim and was curious about the Borresen brand. He always intended... 
Borresen X1 & X2
Entirely possible....I couldn’t disagree with anything about the psychological side which then brings in other aspects of us like our emotional state at the time of listening or altered states due to getting high in one form or another... Regardi... 
Borresen X1 & X2
I am going to run as much music through them for three more weeks. I’ll drop a post once a week or so. Here is the single most easily detected difference...the Focals immediately present themselves as coming out of a very black background. I knew... 
Borresen X1 & X2
Hello, two weeks ago I bought a pair of Borresen X2’s from a great guy who ordered them in April 2024 as a temp pair till his large Wilson speakers arrived. Those arrived early so I received a pair of X2’s with only 20-23 hours on them. I’ve put a... 
Affordable Grounding
Anyone in this hobby knows we have all thrown money away chasing something.  The best money I ever spent was in having an electrician put in a dedicated line for my stereo equipment. Next best money was in buying a grounding box and driving a grou... 
Kenny Burrell's album Midnight Blue
Jim, listening as I write to Midnight Blue and loving it. Always looking for new music. Greg in MD  
Holo May KTE vs. Lampizator Atlantic 3 TRP vs. Mola Mola Tambaqui
I really appreciate this thread as I will one day be in the market for a dac. I currently use the dac inside my Boulder 866 integrated amp...which is a great sounding piece and especially when paired with my Auralic Aries G2.2 streamer. I agree wi... 
Sopra No 2's or other alternatives?
I love my Sopra 2’s. My highs became so much nicer after I put in a grounding box with outside grounding rod and added Audience Front Row loom....REL 212 SE’s have only helped bring them into focus. I do agree they require some extra work....howev... 
Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers
I too have the Heritage Specials and first ran them with a NAD M33...it was okay and maybe better than okay. I then bought a used Pass Labs INT-25 and it was better but one night I had the volume fully opened and I wanted more...and "no" I am not ...
