| As good as Ayre QB-9 DSD but with SPDIF input? If you like the Ayre, you won't like the Hegel most probably. It's much 'cooler' sounding than the Ayre or Vega. Some folks like the Hegel sound better as it's more immediate I guess you can call it. Just totally different sounding devices. I woul... | |
| Entry level Phono Stage for Dynavector 10x5 First question I have is what is your top limit to go on a phono stage? We all throw out what WE have or want to have....that's how any board works. Do you have stores near you where you can build a relationship and bring one home? Most stores hav... | |
| As good as Ayre QB-9 DSD but with SPDIF input? NKBG, Love the system....I"m an Ayre integrated, Vandy Treo and AQ cable guy with Basis TT and Benz cart. I'm just using a Music Hall 25.3 DAC until the new Ayre unit comes out. I"m hoping they go with an all in one type of deal or something like ... | |
| Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s? Jet, as I said, I can listen to them all day long (the Harbeths). I decided to go for the Vandy's as they do everything well. I have listened to the 7's with Richards own amps recently with a lot of guys at Audio connection. I loved the sound, how... | |
| As good as Ayre QB-9 DSD but with SPDIF input? LOL...that's a great question....that DAC does slay, especially for the cost. I have asked about having another one or two inputs also so that you can use it as a full scale DAC in a real life system....I have a feeling Ayre is working on somethin... | |
| Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s? I personally don't like the AN speakers either. Just not for me for the same reasons you guys are bringing up. I was discussing this with an owner of the J's I think it was and I heard it on their top of the line electronics and they turntable wit... | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 Guys, John from Audio Connection in Verona NJ will tell you how to set up the 5's in this thread if you ask. He's the best I've met and as I've said, that's why I drive nearly 3 hrs each way to do business with him. I never loved the Theil sound a... | |
| Entry level Phono Stage for Dynavector 10x5 The better you phono, the better your sound. I've seen such a HUGE difference going with a Heed Phono pre...I listened to many of the lesser cost ones as well as the higher ones and the Heed blew it out of the water. I may even be selling it to up... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guys, I"m not trying to be a smartass at all, but how can any of us make a statement that something is of the best or sounds great if we haven't heard it? Just because something gets big press doesn't mean it sounds good and just because it it exp... | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 gator, didn't really hurt my feelings at all. Was enjoying this thread as are others and didn't want it threadjacked. You can be anyway you want. Your references would have been funnier if you had anything to share, but your post has nothing to do... | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 Well, since someone decided to reopen this thread, maybe they thought it would be fun to post on. Why would you make such a condescending post and be such a jerk about a thread that some of us are having fun with? Are you better than all of us? Do... | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 It's the internet....who cares about useful...They are having fun. In the last couple of years I've been to many dealers and also homes of friends trying to find the best system that I could afford. I'm still trying to sell off much of my 3-4 syst... | |
| Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s? That's really too bad they don't distribute there. They were the only speakers in the under 10k range that I found to be coherent, detailed, neutral (piano sounds like it should), non fatiguing and dynamic. You need all the proper equipment around... | |
| Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s? I heard a few pair of the Devore speakers this weekend and thought I would like them, but I just didn't. I heard them against some much better sounding speakers at half the cost (they were the big wide box ones with a tweeter and woofer). Honestly... | |
| I need a couple suggestions for a preamp Nearly any balance tube pre I've heard has sounded good when paired with the right amps. Good luck. |
