| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guys, this is the debate that we have always and will always have. I agree that the perfect tube isn't in place and never will be. I'm a tube guy. I'm selling off my Quicksilver stuff (I couldn't afford the AR or Jadis gear I wanted back in the da... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I too find it interesting that when I listen to live music and then within a day to 'audiophile' components, there is a huge disconnect. I don't even want to sit and listen. Accurate isn't about lean and detailed. I'm going with Vandy's because of... | |
| Need Advice - new system Cool, got the email. I too use my 2 channel for TV etc... I have never felt that I'm missing anything. So easy to set up too. | |
| Need suggestions on bookshelf speaker upgrades Interesting. I hated the older Vandersteens. the new ones are SOOO different. I just got the Treo's as they were so much nicer than the Spendor's I heard as well as Proac's etc... I think if you heard them, you'd find them MUCH better. totally dif... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Even though I'm redoing my system, I didn't spend that much on the DAC as there are so many advances right now and I want to see what happens with DSD. I think major changes are about to happen in digital. | |
| Need suggestions on bookshelf speaker upgrades I have always liked the Harbeth's better than Spendors too, but I liked the Proac's better for their soundstaging. That said, I haven't heard the newer Harbeths, but I would probably like them better as they are more musical from what I understand... | |
| Need Advice - new system Yes I will split them up. the studios also were just redone and aren't broken in yet, lol. They have zero hours on them. Both are in Teak as that was a cool upgrade. I will take pics and get them to you. I haven't posted yet. I have an NAD integra... | |
| Need Advice - new system Where do you live? If you are close enough, you can come over and listen. These Towers have upgraded midbass drivers and are better than much of what is out there. They are more revealing and stage much better than any of the Paradigm Studio serie... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD One of the best I've heard to date is the Ayre. I know it's not expensive, but it's musical and I've heard it in a few systems and it always sounds great. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I nearly got the Stages they lacked bass and I didnt like them with the integrated sub bases they sold with them. The Apogees will sound so much better than any of the speakers you mentioned as long as you are using proper amplification. What are ... | |
| So you've just heard speakers that blew you away Marty, you make valid points and I agree for the most part. I have heard the Vandy's that have adjustable bass sound great and they should be able to integrate into nearly any room. When the term decent sounding room was used, it was in regards to... | |
| Need Advice - new system I think that you need to think of everything as a true system. How will the products integrate with each other? I have owned Focals and Proacs (selling off a couple of pairs), but fell in love with the Vandy Treo's after auditioning a ton of speak... | |
| So you've just heard speakers that blew you away Bob, thanks. I"m not great at reaching out though, lol. I'm set on the Vandy Treo's, but am always looking and listening. | |
| Ayre & Vandersteen Bob, thanks. I"m not great at reaching out though, lol. I'm set on the Vandy Treo's, but am always looking and listening. | |
| Dragonfly 1.2 Feedback/Impressions ? I was in a store and heard the Dragonfly vs the Meridan and was blown away by the difference, but that was me. The person who came in to by the Dragonfly walked out with the Meridian as it was his favorite by far. In rereading your post, you asked... |
