| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, that's awesome. I'm going to be at Audio Connection Monday late morning I hope as I'm driving to Philly. If you are around, it would be awesome to meet and say hello. Great deal about John letting you play with the Aesthetix. It will be inte... | |
| LZ Reissues - HD digital or LP? Have you ever listened on a very high end system? It always depends on the quality of your gear, but vinyl will blow away digital when you set it up properly and clean your albums. Why not both? That's what Richard Vandersteen recommends. Just go ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, so bummed that you won't be doing the Ayre and the Aesthetix in this grouping. Fun keeping up though. Will you be taking pics and sharing those on Twitter? loll | |
| Warm airy musical speakers? Glad you finally got out to listen. It's amazing how speakers sound to you that folks on here may love. We are all different and yes, your room plays as big a part as anything, just like some folks have posted. You seem to know WHAT you want in re... | |
| Audioquest Water Yes creepy, lol | |
| Counterpoint, Modwright, Aesthetix sound? Big, thanks for sharing and it's good to know about. The Quicksilver pre that I'm selling (sorry again for the shill) is the one that Johnny R and I are talking about. It's the first one. Full function with the 5AR4 rectifier tube. It may be the b... | |
| Audioquest Water LOL.. in the world of audio though, the prices aren't much higher. They just keep creeping the prices each couple of years so we don't notice it as much. | |
| Audioquest Water Thanks Bo. they have to keep up with the others in regards to marketing, however there isn't that much more they can do at this point as their cables at each price point are about as good as it gets. Most dealers I have visited the last year or so... | |
| Magnepan 3.7 Jumper Direction? Personally, I don't like them. I agree about the highs and also the soundstage seems to just float for me. I've heard them in a ton of stores and even some homes. I just am more sensitive to their highs, but we all hear differently. What Elizebeth... | |
| Audioquest Water Guys, I just spoke with John at Audio Connection. As you know he's a big time AQ dealer. I've been getting a bunch of AQ cable, in fact John had me get the Castle Rock instead of Gibraltar because it's the new one. The changes are minor. for the m... | |
| Help for preamp and phono stage. Tube options All you're going to get is what the rest of us have, like or are trying to sell. Many of us love tubes, but sometimes they aren't done correctly (and price or name doesn't always mean anything). You have to understand that in the tube world, there... | |
| Audioquest Water As you may know they are changing out a few of their cables as they upgrade. I will check on that or if John is around, he will know. | |
| Warm airy musical speakers? Chrishanl, I apologize profusely. I'll stop, lol. Back to the thread. I personally have never bought anything without hearing it. I've found that I often go into a store wanting to hear something and walking out with something else. I've never pur... | |
| Counterpoint, Modwright, Aesthetix sound? We've all seen the Counterpoint breakdown. It's what they were known for. Great sounding. Did they ever figure out the problems with them? Really too bad. I wonder where they would be today if that never happened. | |
| Warm airy musical speakers? Listen to ZD. Great post. Honestly, you're the type who should find a good dealer close to you who will walk you through things. You'd be amazed at how much money you'll save in the long run and he'll have a ton of quality gear that you can listen... |
