Wilson Sasha DAW vs. Sabrina X
The DAWs are reputed to be more coherent and revealing as a tribute to dear old dad. I bought a pair recently and love them, but could use another 1/2 octave on the bottom. Subs would be awfully nice.   
Pass Labs 350.8 or 260.8 ?
MM662, What did you end up doing?  I recently bought Sasha DAWs and am considering Pass Labs 260.8 monos as an amp upgrade. Curious to know which speaker/amp combo you landed on.   
Add-Powr Symphony Pro vs. Telos Q.N.R. vs. Audio Magic Large P.E.A.?
Hi, I followed up recently, not on this post, but on the one you made re mad scientist contact treatment formula experimentation. You responded in fascinating detail, thank you. Oddly, I Audiogon won’t let me reply to your response. I’m trying he... 
Amp for the new Watt Puppy speakers
I bought my DAWs after auditioning them on D’agostino integrated at a dealer.  They sounded good enough to buy obviously but for me the combo was a little exaggerated on top and kind of fatiguing especially on digital sources. Your mileage may var... 
Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker
Wilson claims to stock replacement drivers for all their products, new and old. No clue what they would cost.   Ditto on the amplifier comment. Need something that swings some juice. If you are going to refresh the old watt/puppies and need a co... 
ROCKPORT TECHNOLOGIES: ATRIA 2 ROOM SIZE ?
Thanks Claude!  Sounds like I caught you miles down the audiophile road. I went with a pair of the Wilson Sasha DAWs. Just got them installed this week, but I’m very pleased so far. If my preamp weren’t tube based I might have found the DAWs a lit... 
Best monoblock amps for $2000 used
Two affordable suggestions with upgrade paths: 1. New Odyssey Khartago stereo chassis with Kismit upgrade. When funds allow, send it back to Odyssey to convert to more powerful monoblock and buy another one. They have a very affordable upgrade op... 
ROCKPORT TECHNOLOGIES: ATRIA 2 ROOM SIZE ?
Wow, nothing?  I’m in a similar boat with a similar question. Did you buy them?  If so, how did they do in your room?  
Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW
Carey1110, several years in, how did your eval and purchase turn out?  I’m looking at a similar decision and would love to know your impressions.  
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
There are those who wish to discuss, and there are trolls. It's not about censorship, it's about behavior. The adults would like to discuss, the trolls want to sit in mom's basement throwing Cheetos at us.   
Graphene contact enhancer which one is best for the price and improvements
Vze2r8xe, did you proceed with that experiment?  What were your results?  It’s been over a year, did the Mad Scientist product degrade or improve with time?  I know,I don’t ask much...  :)Anyone else have any further experiences to report? 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
2 years later, still no link to this product. Nothing on YouTube either.   
Personal vs. Market Values
Truffle oil makes a great contact enhancer, or so Im told. Or read it somewhere.  Something. To lower costs, I’m looking for one of those pigs that can search and find truffles. Win/win, if the pig doesn’t work out, we have a party and roast it. 
The Devil is in the Cartridge Setup (and a good phone pre)...
I believe the subject is cartridge setup and it’s importance, not talking smack about mods. If you don’t believe in mods, don’t buy them.  
All Quiet on the Oppo front?
The last round of 205 “golden tickets” were sent in August. Shipment is finishing up now. The website no longer accepts entries. Sadly, unless the corporate parent changes course, these are gone. I saw a new one recently for sale - asking $4300. U...
