| Who is Roon? Roon is great. Marvelous sound quality. Tunes both Qobuz and Tidal for me. As well as my own stuff. Roon radio is great; I just listen to something I'm in the mood for and it goes on to play tracks from albums I never considered. When it play... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. And nobody commented on Wilsons. They are usually positioned with generous toe in but... often spaced apart more and so closer to the sidewalls. Or they can be closer together with less toe in. Never my choice. And, as someone has said, about ... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. As any speaker designer knows, a really flat speaker sounds terrible. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Watt-Puppy 8s? Really? These speakers are 20-30 years old. They haven't used that tweeter since then. Does this guy actually listen to the speakers? He spends the entire video talking about measurements. I owned the Watt-Puppy 7s and loved... | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy According to many, they do play all music well. You'll never know unless you go listen to them with an open mind mind. | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy We all hear differently and have our own preferences. As it should be. Some seem put off by a speaker you have never heard; maybe resenting its unafordability. There are many successfully speaker brands giving everyone choices. The magazines m... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT I believe most would consider my system high resolving. It's about $150K at retail of C-J class A, Wilson, Rega, Shunyata, WW Platinum cables and dCS stuff. That said the digital connections are all ethernet, as dCS recommends. The "streamer" is... | |
| ??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? Been at this for about 65 years so have built a system with the best Conrad-Johnson class A amps, Wilson speakers, dCS digital, Shunyata, etc. With the cables about $140K. My primary dealer(s) setups with the best Wilsons, D'Agostino amps, dCS... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 lacking some bass Suggest you try a good preamplifier in your system. My Bartok sounds great until I put the Conrad-Johnson ART88 pre back in the system. A much fuller more complete sound stage. Most, including now even Paul McGowan who fought the concept of a prea... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit Different output tubes will certainly sound different but will not increase the amplifier's output. The same energy in produces the same output. KT 120s can replace those tubes but as you get to the KT150 and especially the KT170 the electrical r... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit Sorry if I missed it but what does Jeff Fischel at C-J have to say about your noisy tube issues and does he have a recommended tube for you? | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 Many years ago I owned a series of B&W speakers, working my way up through the Matrix series to the Nautilus 800s. I bought them off the dealer’s floor and they sounded great there. My living/listening room at the time was 9X13X8. The N800s, r... | |

| KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes Is this what they mean by "Double Blind" testing? An enjoyable read in any case. I'm still trying to decode the results. I actually prefer a good English Gin for these critical sessions. Best... | |
| KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes Hey trivema, Thanks for your description of the KR KT88 SQ. Looking for a lusher, fuller midrange if anything. In pursuit of that actually got rid of Nordost Valhalla speaker cables for Wireworld Platinum. Needed Nordost's Odin top cable but t... |
