| Tekton Electron SE I use a couple of high end speakers (TAD, Schweikert) in my dedicated stereo room. I try to explore more "affordable" speakers in another room for multichannel and stereo. Stuff from 3 designers, Andrew Jones, Danny Ritchie (GR) and Eric (Tekton)... | |
| Stenheim Alumine 3 vs. Sonus Faber Amati G5 I have not heard the Stenheim Alumine 3, but I own Amati Traditional (see my virtual systems). From reading about the Stenheim… they are as different as you can get from the Sonus Faber, both sonically and aesthetically. From the descriptions the... | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 Gryphon by miles Agreed. @gill_benedek , if you can get a used Gryphon within your budget, throw the Hegel and NAD in a ditch (it's a no brainer). | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @reimarc , it depends on the design of your component. If you note that a fuse is in the signal path of a low feedback design, etc, it could potentially cause a very minor audible change... If the fuse is not in the signal path or if you may hav... | |
| Best budget USB @lollipopguild Any competent USB cable from the likes of Audioquest or other should be good enough. However, a more important item in the chain would be something like the HoloAudio’s Titanis ’USB processor’ dongle instead (if you can find it an... | |
| PS Audio Aspen FR20: Planar Floorstanding Speakers At about the same price the 20.7 will run circles around the Aspens. You can’t put the Aspens in the same room as any Wilson or Magico floor stander Run circles around?? (Lol) A 20.7, Magico or Wilson does no such thing here and the McGowan spe... | |
| PS Audio Aspen FR20: Planar Floorstanding Speakers Paul McGowan has been reborn since the Aspens came out! Paul has always stood out as one of the nicest guys out there in high end audio (up there with Andrew Jones). I heard the fr30 in their listening room and they are very good, a home run f... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! To my ears and in my rig+room, i am able to easily discern differences in cables upto a certain pricepoint. I have many of the audioquest cables from their entry/mid price point to higher end. All their cables can preserve/present more detail and ... | |
| Service After the Sale My dealer was great to work with when buying. Very knowledgeable with no pressure to buy. Spent over 50k. Was good at getting back to me with a few questions. The one thing that bothered me a lot that I consider good customer service is he never ... | |
| Service After the Sale The non-responsive vendors of whom I speak are high end (with expensive products that I purchased new) and one of the reasons, at least in my opinion, a timely response should be expected. @marco1 , this is precisely why i don't touch any of th... | |
| Horn speakers with Imaging? Imaging is not the strong suit of the motherload of horn speakers out there...But, there are some exceptions. You can go with the high end JBL/Everest line if you're not on a constrained budget....They are ok with imaging. But, if you are strappe... | |
| Fraudulent sale on eBay I just followed her all day bidding millions of dollars on each auction. This sounds like the beginnings of a romance... that bards may sing of for generations to come. | |
| Pathetic range of Topping remote I had an smsl that had the same garbage range..not to mention a lot of crap from many elite/elusive hifi manufacturers as well. Funny thing is...I have a 50 dollar Google chromecast dongle plugged in/buried behind a cluster fk of things in a rack... | |
| Any Experience with Furman-IT Reference 20i? Curious if Garth Powell had his hands in it during his time at Furman | |
| Is the Marantz PM8006 powerful enough to power my B&W 802 Matrix Series 3? Umm, you are not going to get a Yamaha A-S2100 used for under $1000 unless some dude’s angry ex-wife sold it to you. Try the A-S801, it’s voicing will also try and remedy your B&W’s brightness. Beware of a lot of amps with your speaker unless... |
