| Klipsch Heresy IV vs. The World! @scotandholly thanks for the tip, I'll definitely check those out. Also talking to Louis at Omega about my needs. Hard to pull the trigger on speakers you haven't heard that have almost no reviews. | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV vs. The World! That all checks out. Just got a pair of o/93 but not sure if they will be able to stick around. They sound amazing but looks massive next to the little Heresys. If I can't make them stick I will probably try a pair of REL T/zeros with the Heresys. | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV vs. The World! Ah, good points. In recent comparisons I've found the DeVore 93db rated speakers to require significantly more drive than the theoretically 99db rated Heresy. | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV vs. The World! @ajelec the JBL 4349 seem like real contenders. Much less efficient than the Klipsch which limits amplification options significantly. And as you point out, not the prettiest. I've heard most of the heritage line and properly amped they are all pr... | |
| Considering Shindo @goldprintaudio thanks for the tips! I'll keep an eye out :) | |
| Considering Shindo Thanks for the feedback. The o/93s have landed and they sound fantastic. Lots of body and presence. While I love the sound of SET amps, particularly my 300b monos, I don't think they optimally drive the 93db DeVores so I will probably swap for ano... | |
| Considering Shindo @ghdprentice thanks for your note. I've heard a bunch of great solid state gear but the tubes always call me back. Shindo + DeVore seems to be a match made in heaven so.i can't wait to give it a go .looks like you are also a headphone kunkey like ... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? Thanks to everyone for the helpful suggestions. It sounds like it is worth investing some better/different cables to match my system. This is not to say the cables are the be all end all, and that as always placement, room treatment, component syn... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? Thanks for all the feedback. Nice to see the full gambit of audiophile responses. My suspicion is that my current wires are about 70-80% as good as the rest of my system and while there is likely room to gain subtle improvement it may not be the b... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? @mastering92 great question. Overall the system sounds really nice (i've swapped a lot of components to get here) and most of the tubes are dialed in at this point (still working toward the right 300B). I guess I'm just wondering if I'm leaving so... | |
| Two amps into one pair of speakers There are inexpensive speaker/amp switch boxes available on Amazon. I got Bryan from https://www.zynsonix.com/ to build me a custom switch box which allows me to route two amps to single set of speakers and a sub. Added benefit, it has 4-pin balan... | |
| Takayuki 300B vs Western Electric NEW Production 300B lsmith42 any word on your WE / Takatsuki comparison? | |
| Favorite Headphone Stands - What do you look for? That's a really nice looking stand. Good features. So many stands are too short. | |
| Favorite Headphone Stands - What do you look for? @pastorbob Good tip! @stringreen the purposes is just to keep your headphones in good condition and avoid silly issues like them getting accidentally pulled off the desk or having something spilled on top of them. Painted or anodized headphones ca... | |
| Vinyl System Upgrade Path Recommendations Old thread but since limomangus decided to breathe some life into it I thought I would give an update on how my system has evolved in case anyone finds it useful. After lots and lots of component switching (amps, phonos, carts, speakers, cables) t... |
