| What compares favorably with Audioquest Niagras I run the Niagaras and will be getting the new Castle Rocks for my Treo's/Ayre AX7 and MH 25.3DAC (will be upgrading vinyl after this round of changes). I fell in love with AQ and I was an MIT guy as it sounded good in my older system(that I'm sel... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Because the price was right. I sounds a bit better in the mids than my Krell. It works perfectly in my new Vandy Treo, Ayre system. I'd have to pay a ton more for Ayre, which would work great with my stuff, but it only has USB input and I use thre... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Lab, I think most of us realize how important everything is. I have disliked Vandy's in the past and went with Proac. It was totall about set up and gear. That's how owners can sell gear. I've had a few threads going or posting about the room and ... | |
| AudioQuest SKY revisit funny, but Richard Vandersteen said the same thing. He is an engineer and he sees what sounds best and then tweeks it. I so wish I had a better grasp on what you are talking about. You should offer a course. This is one reason I love working with ... | |
| Set-Up Advice for Vandersteen 1Cs very cool. yes, I remember reading that at one point and hearing him talk about it now that I see it. (I have drop out at times with MS). Of all the designers I've been fortunate to meet, he's the best by far. He just gets it and when you see who ... | |
| AudioQuest SKY revisit Makes sense. I haven't hear Monitor Audio in years. So many of the companies lines are opposite of what they used to be. I've enjoyed much of the Pass stuff I've recently heard. His First Watt stuff hasn't impressed me that much, but I've never be... | |
| Set-Up Advice for Vandersteen 1Cs REally? Wow, I'm almost shocked. I bet it's because of the price range he made them for. I know they are more efficient than the others too. That's a good topic the next time he does his tours. Wow. | |
| Hi-rez download advice needed Zd, makes a ton of sense. Well put. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? YOu have to try the Vandy CT line of speakers Sirix. Are you near NJ? | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE wow, that's a long time, lol | |
| Need suggestions on bookshelf speaker upgrades I heard the Paradigm S8's with Ayre and they were nice. I have the small ones in my BR system and they are ok. I have the two pair or Proacs I'm selling and have enjoyed them, but like anything they need to be set up with the right system, but man... | |
| Best cheap speaker cables............again I guess for the price it does, but the AQ cables can't be that much more for better sound. That was my only point. it's all good. Written word and spoken come off differently, lol. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD How many here buy from John? I ran into Mark and Billy when I was there and I wonder if I have run into anyone else? Matt, you'll have to meet us there next time I come down. | |
| Hi-rez download advice needed Airplay doesn't support the high res stuff. I use it for my bedroom when I am getting ready. I have used my marantz 1604 I think it is (my BR receiver). It's handy and sounds ok for my TV system, but you need high resolution components and a separ... | |
| Need suggestions on bookshelf speaker upgrades So did you ever get the Vapors? What are your thoughts? there are a ton of speakers using the RAAL tweeter and the accuton mid/sub's. So far, I haven't heard any of them integrated that well. They have all been say too analytical for me. Just not ... |
