| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? Don’t see Devore O series on the list but hoping to hear some myself - rarely come up used. Just a comment on Audio Note - they want to be in the corner - not sure that would work in your current space but you mention you are moving to another ro... | |
| Why "bookshelf" sspeakers? Agree with comments so far. Also bookshelves are easier to sell/ship. I was a convert since a friend brought me back a pair of LS3/5a in 1975 - wish I still had them! Had some towers in between but back to stand mount now. Availability of good/i... | |
| Preamp for First Watt F7 +1 for the AVA T10 RB. Had one and should have kept it… | |
| Next step? Amp or Streamer or… Funny! Well I guess you wouldn’t want the same flavor ice cream all the time either… I definitely understand the folks that rotate speakers as well. At 68 though I’m trying to simplify and downsize a bit. | |
| Next step? Amp or Streamer or… @erik_squires Good question! I haven’t heard a lot of other systems recently given the Pandemic and really just getting back into two channel during that time after many years of only my modest home theater system and not having much time for dedi... | |
| Next step? Amp or Streamer or… @lalitk @ghdprentice Appreciate the specific and helpful streamer recommendations and thoughts on I2s. I will look to arrange in-home demos and report findings over the next few months | |
| Next step? Amp or Streamer or… Thanks all for the thoughtful responses - lots to think about. Will post specific feedback shortly | |
| Robbie Robertson: "Killers Of The Flower Moon" Soundtrack Jason Isbell also supposed to have a small acting part. Going to see it this week | |
| John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away So sorry to hear. Love my upgraded 4’s in my TV system - his memory will live on every time I play them… hopefully the company will live on as well. | |
| The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore Glad they are helping! Fortunately I’m ok at 67 with some HF loss, but I did research a bit and was told they all only boost mids as they are designed to improve speech intelligibility. Appears this may not be the case and they help for music | |
| Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8 @mr_m Doesn’t the Eversolo have I2s out? Pls let us know how that compares into your Pontus when you get a chance. | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? Some good suggestions but no Reggae? Really? Try Bob Marley - Kaya to start. A bit deeper would be Mighty Diamonds - Right Time and many others. Never get tired of these. Also seems a lot of focus on 70’s “stoner” music which is fine but the... | |
| Western Electric 12AX7 coming this summer. There was a link posted elsewhere that said they bought the actual Mullard Blackburn tooling for the 12AX7, so if accurate they should be identical to those. NOS tubes. I’ll post the link if I can find it again. | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) @signaforce and others - just saw on Cullen’s site that he’s retiring and has sold the business to Wyred4Sound - not clear yet from their site which products they will continue. | |
| It’s time to upgrade my pre-amp Just researched the Elekit myself and most of their forums recommend running it without a preamp (contrary to the general consensus in other general threads here). As mentioned you don’t need gain so maybe a passive switch box is all you need? Eit... |
