| Naim and Elac Adante, Wow What a thread. I have sat back and read this thing more than a few times. I didn't want to post as I own the Quatro's and have owned the Treo's. Back in 1982, I was at Sound Unlimited and met Richard V for the first time. That was my store when ... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Thanks Tomic. I really was impressed with my email interaction with him and anyone I've sent who have purchased some very expensive stuff has loved him. | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale? Sunny, I sold my Treo's to Bob and I LOVED them. I now own the Quatro's and I listen to everyone's 35k or down speakers and still went with Quatro's. Coherency, tonality, extension top and bottom, yet warm enough and smooth. Tons of micro and m... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Bob, I asked about them separating them. They can't. Not designed that way, plus I need to money from the sale to pay for the new amps ;)..... I have never head a digital volume control sound nearly as good and dynamic as a good preamp. That sai... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range Love this thread. It shows that we all like totally different things. I've heard many of the speakers talked about in the last many posts and only have liked a couple of them. Many I couldn't listen to for more than 30 minutes. That said, many ... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Bob, I was over that loss within a few hours.....NOT.....:). IT will always be there as a lost chance at a NC. I take ribbing well btw, so keep it coming ;).As for dealers, Hi Fi Buys in Atlanta is a GREAT dealer. They offer many top lines and... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve, what do you now recommend I do with my Mac mini server that you sold me? I still have the old Amarra etc... Should I keep it off the internet totally? I've been using the USB port that you marked as best SQ. As you know, I'm not technic... | |
| Proac D48R Please don't be mad as I don't want to offend anyone. The Nordost didn't make the first cut. I forget the reason's, but they just weren't close to the Iso Accoustic gear or any of the others. I've personally tried them and not liked them as muc... | |
| Proac D48R My buddy Matt is doing a footer shootout. Gia are right there with some of the much more expensive ones. Its a fascinating shootout to say the least. Lot's of pretenders for sure. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I actually don't remember the name of a couple of them as I'm still new to the personal audio world. The Walker gear was outstanding. Some of the DACs that sounded nice from 100hz up were with the Stat's and I've yet to hear a stat that has enou... | |
| Proac D48R Kclone, the Aria is a really nice integrated. I'd want something like my Ayre AX5/20 with it though or for a pre, that Calypso is crazy good. I just sold my upgraded Rhea. | |
| Proac D48R Thanks for the kind words. When using a passive, you will miss some slam and dynamics. Depending on how good or bad the active preamp is as well as how it matches your amp, will make or break the sound for you. You really should ask Johnny abou... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks G. I really wanted to love it like you guys do too. It's all good.Steve, I totally agree with you. Do you think it just has to do with adding more layers and chances to mess up the signal? If not, why do you think it's like that? Why w... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guys I just realized that this thread is 4 years old and has almost 4k posts! That's just crazy and fun to say the least. Heard a lot of DAC's this weekend at Cam Jam. Wasn't impressed with most of them to be very frank. I felt very let down. ... | |
| Proac D48R Proacs are known for their imaging etc.. Yes, they are highly revealing which is what a high end speaker should be. That's the biggest problem I have wiht Wilsons. Fun to listen to and I could own them, but they lack the micro and macro detail I... |
