| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I'll ask Johnny about the Rom sig when I speak with him this week. As for the Ayre, I'm not sure if my integrated has that. I have the 7 not the 5...The 5 has the diamond stage. They are now making their top amps with double diamond stages...their... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Siddh, I went with the Treo's. When I update and go separates, I can add the new subs he's working on and my system will slam (when I want it to of course). You can get the new 2's and add the Ayre separates and I promise you that you will get a L... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I assume the Rom was the Sig version, but I honestly didn't even look. Since falling in love with the Ayre components in the last year, I've gotten away from tubes as I don't like rolling them. I spend way too much time listening to music, both re... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, I just spent the day listening to the Romulus at Audio Connection. He had Richard Vandersteen in for the day, so it was on his 7's with his own amp. The pre was the AR ref with phono...It was in the back room.. Best sound I've EVER heard. I ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? This is a great thread as you can tell what type of sound people gravitate to. I love that as it's a hobby and there are no absolutes...I was in Audio Connection in Verona, NJ yesterday. He had Richard Vandersteen in to show off his new amps with ... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar I was at a dealer yesterday with a bunch of audiophiles (many who do buy online). Most felt that if a boutique manufacturer was able to get their wares into a B&M, that most would do it in a heartbeat as their advertising costs can actually be... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar That's fine guys, however high end audio is still and will continue for the near future to be about emotion...The music and not the product of the month. That's the difference that some of you don't understand. I'll put my system up against any ot... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar Chrshanl37 I was going to email you so as not to hijack this thread but I didn't see anyway to do that. Sorry. It's on Matt's DAC shootout thread that is very very long right now. He lives near Audio Connection and we have a few posts over there a... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar Taters and Yogi, thanks for calling me out on that post. I have MS and deal with cognitive issues at times. I thought I was posting on another thread where many of us were discussing meeting up on Saturday. On topic, I don't understand why some of... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar Anyone going to see Richard Vandersteen on Saturday at Audio Connection? I'll be there from start to finish as I am looking at a few upgrades and it's a long drive so it's fun to hang out. let me know if you are going so we can meet. | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar I can promise you that Nick at Audio Connections knows as much about set up and sound than all the other old timers. How can say that Bess knows more than anyone else in the country? How do you know since you don't got to B&M stores? I have be... | |
| Brands w/ first order x-over, time & phase aligned Ok, I'm sure you're correct...Maybe I was thinking about it not being first order crossover...I bet that's what I was thinking. Either way, it doesn't matter since the 1c sounds so awesome for it's price range...Another best buy for Richard..Thank... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar Some of you guys don't understand how business works. Sorry, that's the reality here. We've heard the stories about returns...I too have had a problem similar in the past. I just won't buy that way. You don't save money in the long run either. Sho... | |
| Brands w/ first order x-over, time & phase aligned In response to the poster who said thinks the Vandy Treo's and Quads are...they are....I love my Treo's....Vandy's only speaker that isn't is the model 1 | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar If a B&M has great customer service and can truly consult, like John at Audio Connection and a few others around the country, then we will still have stores going forward. I personally pay the extra to the stores to get products that not only ... |
