| Audioquest NRG 10 power cord Bo, I've heard the differences and totally agree. They leave nothing ignored. I have the Castle Rock and they sound much better than the cables they replaced. Can't wait to hear all the newer cables going forward. | |
| Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help I would put the Ayre up against any of the amps on the market in that range right now. It's a natural sounding amp. It will play what you send through it. Honest. Closest to tubes that I"ve heard for SS and I'm a tube guy. I've heard many of the i... | |
| Audioquest NRG 10 power cord bo, have been told the same. Thanks for sharing. That's the biggest reason I'm waiting on power cords. I'm happy for now, overall, but will give their new line a shot. guardian, they are constantly upgrading their other lines. They are coming out ... | |
| What can I improve in my audio system for better s I'm in shock that you have spent so much, but are using different speakers. I've personally never heard any system sound great without having the same voiced speakers all the way around. It will smear transients etc... I also won't use different c... | |
| Audioquest NRG 10 power cord I've heard the Kimber and for the price is good. The problem I have with so many of the cords is that if you give them a really good listen, they aren't always better. They may sound different, but not always better. I know Ayre uses their own 'cl... | |
| Best USB DAC for under $1000 if you have a few of the DACs you can bring them to one store and listen to them. Also, most stores will let you bring them home for a bit to hear them in YOUR system. I usually do that unless I know the store's system really good. | |
| RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss Funny as I have been told by a few in the industry that they don't like the Vapors. Polarizing maybe, lol. That now puts them on my must hear list! | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I did enjoy the largest Apogees back in the day. My dealer then LOVED them and made sure they had their own room and the highest end ARC ref gear with MIT cables 'tuned' for the system by Bruce Brisson himself. They were pretty darn good from what... | |
| Audioquest NRG 10 power cord I honestly don't want stunning in any of my gear. As I said above, I have heard all the AQ cords vs very expensive and well know cords and the other cords at first sounded different....some would say stunning maybe, but it was immediately apparent... | |
| Need recommendations to replace ARC VT100 MkII What about Audible Illusions? I have really loved them for the cost. You and I agree on the ARC preamps. I had one many years ago and got rid of it pretty quickly and ran a CJ. When I got my Quicksilver full function pre, THAT'S when I realized HO... | |
| Best USB DAC for under $1000 I have recently had the Hegel and Peachtree in my system against my Krell Stealth and my Music Hall 25.3 and the Music Hall (balanced as was the Krell) and the Krell seemed more musical and neutral to my ears. The MH was more musical (Hegel was cl... | |
| Need recommendations to replace ARC VT100 MkII Get their ref pre....lol.... I would agree that you MUST have a great pre or NO pre ;).....It's funny as I am selling off a bunch of systems that my brother, parents and I have had over the last many years and I have been hooking things up and lis... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Guys, I believe all of you. Years ago I heard some Maggies at my dealer (funny as four of the dealers I've spent a lot of money at have sold them, and they sounded good. They were driven by Krell KSA 250 I think it was. All Krell and top the line ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Funny as stats and panels just have never done if for me. Way too hot when I've heard them and I've heard most of the TOL speakers. They seem to float the soundstage and almost always sound bigger than the actual performance was (yes, I've been in... | |
| Need recommendations to replace ARC VT100 MkII Z, I was throwing out Rogue as some like their name/look. For the price they are nice. I agree that they aren't as neutral as the VT100's. Heck, I went with Quick gear (the Silver Mono's that I"m selling off now) over AR years ago. I was more musi... |
