| Looking for advice for a good 3.5mm to RCA Up front, not an Audioquest fan. And I’ve owned plenty over the years. My last foray into their product was banana plugs. Awful quality beyond description. After Signal Cable stopped making theirs, I was forced to visit “The Evil Empire”. ht... | |
| Rega Cursa 3? Found this: https://stereoworlds.com/amplifiers/preamplifiers/rega-preamplifiers/rega-cursa-3-unleashing-audiophile-delight/ Had no luck with the other website given. Cheers | |
| DAC's from the past, are any of them really worth much today? This may help. http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/Company_Info.html | |
| DAC's from the past, are any of them really worth much today? Ric Schultz's original DACs were quite good and for the pittance one pays for one today, they are a steal. I paid $100 for one used and it would easily compete with a $700-1,000 DAC today. I think the first ones were simply DAC 1 and DAC 2. | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan Perhaps I missed something. Is there a viable website? | |
| Speaker cables recomendation for Luxman L509X / Dynaudio Contour 30i Duelund 12g. At $40/m, they are a steal. I run mine between Luxman 509x and ATC SCM 20 passive monitors. They are wonderfully open, neutral and dynamic. Or you can do the Duelund 10g. Single strand, so be sure to double your length order. ht... | |
| Should I graduate to floor standers or will larger bookshelves suffice? The conversation takes on a circuitous flavor. Some just want more bass; not necessarily distinct bass, but more of it, driving. Others want to hear the bowing differences between Eddie Gomez and Ray Brown. Yet others want both. And there is ... | |
| Should I graduate to floor standers or will larger bookshelves suffice? ATC SCM 40 passive towers come in at 6K. Quite nice. | |
| ATC buying advice As communicated in other postings, I tend to live now in the active world. I'm not a volume rocker listening, but I do really like the immediate attack and dynamics of active which I personally could not render with passive and some very goo... | |
| ATC buying advice Owner of both ATC 40A and ATC 50A. ATC 40A is wonderful. Lived with them for 3 years. ATC 50A is a whole 'nother beast....in all of the right ways. ATC 50A floor stander is more dynamic, throws a larger sound stage and of course deeper bass wi... | |
| Weiss 501 upgrade to 4ch Well, you know the Swiss. Four official languages in a country slightly larger than Maryland, so they don’t like simple. Postcard land with funny cheeses. Love my upgraded 501 and I’m the only one needing that satisfaction. Not looking, just e... | |
| Weiss 501 upgrade to 4ch Yes. I did upgrade. Not for the 4 channel part, but for the upgraded chip and upgrade of the analogue section. Installed by Tom at Big Ear Stereo who liked the upgrades from a technical point and correctly predicted improvement. I hear improve... | |

| Integrated Amplifier for Focal Sopra 3 Several used Luxman 509x integrated amps show up here. Good for you, puzzling as this is a really good amp. Now about $7,500 - 8,200 range. My wife's system runs ATC 20 passives with this amp and it drives them hard. Those speakers present a r... | |
| Speaker Recommendations https://atc.audio/hi-fi/loudspeakers/entry-series/scm11/ The ATC 11 monitor comes in new at $3,249 and would be rockin’ with your components and stated musical tastes. |
