| Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt why would I ever share that? | |
| Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt I've heard that. I went to one of their dealers who said that he thinks they won't be around long. It's hard to think such a good brand would just be let to fail. I think Samsung will do something to beef it up. | |
| Vandersteen's new affordable mono blocks at the CES 18 I do love how Richard pays so much attention to detail. He's a frugal guy (like me) and cares about value...He is one of the few to give value at all price levels. Aesthetix and Ayre are two others. Many do, but not at the most of the price lev... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Yes George, you will post as often as you can about the R2R, even though many of us feel that there are other designs that we feel sound better than any of the R2R's we've heard to date. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. That's the reali... | |
| Vandersteen's new affordable mono blocks at the CES 18 It's still pretty crazy to think that any product in audio can even compete with anything costing twice as much. | |
| Vandersteen's new affordable mono blocks at the CES 18 All of audio is subjective. Lamm makes some nice stuff. That amp is north of 27k. That's a huge difference in cost and shows what a great value the Vandy amp truly is. I'll personally go with the 15k amp if it's close to the 27k plus amp. As ... | |
| Vandersteen's new affordable mono blocks at the CES 18 agree. just listen. I also agree on using the better high pass. Mine was built into the Ayre integrated and they used the better parts. | |
| Vandersteen's new affordable mono blocks at the CES 18 Bob, I'm so happy that you love them. I was worried as I always am when selling. I will tell you that you will ike them better than the non 20 version of your amps. The 20 upgrades were that large IMHO. Everyone I have spoken with who had audi... | |
| Bi-Wire Cable Question - Can They Be Used As Standard Speaker Cables Without A Problem? I personally would spend the extra money and send them back to AQ for termination as they have a special process that does make a small difference. It's very easy and cheap to install their top of the time spades etc... and it's worth it in the l... | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero Bo, you aren't the only one who knows audio and cables etc... I also know from my own two ears that it even gets better up til over 1000 hours. Garth will tell you the same thing if you ask him. What you fail to also understand is that some fol... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, the built in Laufer Technik DAC is crushing it (built into my Memory Player server which is by far the best server I've ever heard). Just open, dynamic, Tuneful...you name it and it's doing it. I know he's got a new tube to bring over for ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD everyone I know who owns his gear loves it. Cult following. Another option that isn't in that price range, but easily plays in that league is the new Aesthetix Mimas integrated. Jim White is a genius in his execution. It is a full on integrated... | |
| Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt My buddy matt has used them. They are outstanding on the right speakers. I personally feel that you need to try them first as most designers don't want you to change what they have used for anchors. I own Vandersteen Quatro's and was thinking a... | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero Burn in is going well. It's fun to hear the subtle differences as they burn. I'm so glad to have gotten these. Just amazing. | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? Bob, the KXR/20 is one of the best preamps made I feel. It's Ayre's best product to date IMHO as well as most others. It's a special piece. The MXR/20 upgrade is awesome, but not in the same league as the KXR. That said, the preamp is more impo... |
