| beryllium vs diamond Bo, you should get the Magico's and Vandersteens in that shootout. Carbon needs to be in this discussion. Again, we all know it's not totally about the material, it's about the implementation AND material. Carbon is very special in audio right now... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I'd love to get that Rowland into my house for a week to do a shootout vs my Ayre AX5/Twenty. heard them both at a dealer and liked my Ayre a bit better, but the Rowland was also amazing. Lot's of great integrateds now. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I enjoyed those apogee speakers My friend in Rhode Island used to sell them | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I liked their signature high-end but I didn't love it. When I heard the price I was in shock. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Ranch, I didn't know those were Dan's speakers. It;s nice to hear of someone holding onto speakers for that long, lol. My original system from 1969 is still used daily by my former brother in law (sister divorced him, I didn't, lol). | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Have you guys heard the Rowland, Boulder and Ayre reference amps (the newest versions?). | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I've heard a lot of folks talking about the Solution amps. I really need to get to hear a new set of those. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD So often I hear a ringing in the mid bass lower midrange. I always call those speakers bright. I can never warm up to systems that have that ringing. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Well I'm putting the Treo's on the market as I want the Quatro's. I can't wait to get them in zebra wood. Heard the Theils again and they sounded better with Boulder gear. Not my cup of tea but they were better than what I heard in the past. It wa... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, the Berkley guys love the Aurender I believe. It will be interesting. How old is the Berkley? I heard one in Boston that had under 200 hours and it didn't sound great. I think I mentioned that last year. I just wasn't blown away. Then more r... | |
| beryllium vs diamond mel, thanks. I think you get me a bit. I come off as a prick at time possibly. I know what I personally enjoy and what I don't. Funny as cooking is another hobby of mine and you nailed it. Heck, I speak with a few of the very well known posters on... | |
| beryllium vs diamond Mel, I really am happy that you love your Magico's. I really am. I'm not trying to change your mind. Never have been and never will. On to the thread which is good. Like anything else it's implementation. Most I know have loved carbon drivers in s... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt thanks so much. Many of us don't really care about the tech stuff quite as much. You know me fairly well when it comes to audio. It's only about the sound and how components and rooms work together. I'm ready for your cable reviews, but reall... | |
| beryllium vs diamond Mel, really? Bar none? Please show me where I've ever said bar none or anything remotely like that? I have always said we listen differently. You go on and on about telling me how great Magico's are and I've listened to them because you keep going... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Mel, maybe they will. Vandy's never did until their new stuff. Again, I keep an open mind. Ton's of great speakers don't do it for me. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy listening to them, but I'd never own them. I didn't like the Magico's before the new ... |
