| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? There are way too many things that go into matching amplification and transducers. There is no right or wrong amp to use with anything. It's 100% personal preference. What too many folks don't take into account is that not all tube amps 'sound' ... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS I'm not a B&W fan for many reasons and not all are sound related. That said, I do feel that the Proac's are better better tonally. To me, if you can't get the tone down right, then that's a non starter for me personally. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I was looking at that also. My server will have the DAC installed, so I don't worry about this connection. I just like this idea and hope it works out. We talk about introducing jitter on ethernet, but what about the ethernet connection from my ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ketch, how are you man? Call me this weekend. I have been thinking about you. Thanks for sharing this. I have The Memory Player coming in with integrated DAC, so I won't have to concern myself with USB or Ethernet, lol. I'm hoping that they c... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD DAve/Troy, I am not going into your sales pitch in this thread. I have way too much respect for Matt and everyone has learned over your posts in other threads, that you are always correct adn your gear is best regardless of cost, until some of us ... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? jymc. What's your point? I don't think I fully understand your point. This is high end audio and of course we buy adn love then sell and miss, but are glad we changed gear. This is teh component side of audio.None of us are saying we are keepi... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks for that great post Dave. Appreciated. Irony is that I heard the Ayre QX5 (the one I currently own) vs the T+A DAC in a system I was pretty familiar with and to my ear it wasn't close. It shouldn't be since the Ayre goes for a bit under ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks for the update Matt. Can't wait to hear bout the Lamy's. This will be very cool as you are now open to audition the tubes. | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! Tom, I agree with you of course. I love Johnny. He's one of the few around who isn't about the up sell. He actually does the down sell as he knows how to put a true system together. He also sells other than Vandersteen's like Proac and B&W a... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature Speakers Guys, just ask the designers of speakers and they will 100% disagree with you. Music is music. A great speaker needs to be able to reproduce what it's fed. Plain and simple. I really think the problem is that we have all been told that quantit... | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! guswatte5 posts05-11-2018 2:03amCurious how you thought the Quatros compared to the Carbon 5as?GThe 5's are just a better speaker. No doubt about it, but I own the Quatro and feel that they are also very special. Honestly, to me, I feel strongly ... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature Speakers Makes the most sense to me. I personally upgrade the speakers first. Then the source and then the amps. Cords and cables are always last. That's just me. I purchase the best speakers I can afford. | |
| Loudspeaker for second system My ears Vandy>GE>Elac...YMMV | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature Speakers I'm not Johnny. I owned the best MIT speaker cable and interconnects made with their 350 cable (interconnects) and their 770 speaker cable. I got the AQ adn never looked back. I have had so many name and off name cables in teh system and none h... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature Speakers I have owned the Treo's and now own the Quatro's. I'm VERY familiar with all of his speakers though and have ton's of time with all of them. I have spent extensive time with the 2's since they were released in 78 I think it was (Bruce's at Stereo... |
