| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables @nyev Really interested in your impression of Dragon vs. Omega after all are broken in. Maybe using a cord extender to connect to 5 fridge would help. What characteristics do you hear from the Omega QR that is so much above the AQ, and how does it... | |
| Gryphon Amp Owners: Results with AQ Niagara? I have used Boulder 1160 into the high current output of a Niagara 5000, to me that sounded as good if not better than into the wall. Things are more refined and polished. Would it be possible to try both configurations and see which you like bet... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables @nyev You are 100% not alone in the recognition that Nordost is absolutely amazing and deserving of their prestige. I say this as someone who was once thought Nordost was bright, bleached and over priced. Now when I have a system that's properly b... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century "world class" is a tall claim, what level of gear was used in the rest of the system to make this evaluation? | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? There are integrated amps that can very much hold their own against separates in their price segment, Audionet Humboldt, Pilium Leonidas, Vitus SIA-30, on the lower end Boulder 866 and Diablo 300, even lower end still Line Magnetic, Leben | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? If you have to try very hard to discern the improvements after spending 3x the money, it's absolutely not worth it. 3x the price should be another league altogether, you should never have to wonder like this post. | |
| Axpona 2022 what impressed you? @prof +2 I concur with your assessment 100% | |
| Anyone have experience with MSB Technology products compared to dCS? I have compared the MSB Select II and DCS full Vivaldi stack in the same system (~$600K), and preferred MSB by a long shot. I forgot to take notes and evaluate the sound when the MSB was playing, just got lost in the music. It was tonally rich, ye... | |
| Avoiding US dealer markups Typically the UK price already includes VAT, so if the US dealer price is another 30% above the already VAT included dealer price from UK, that's a lot. Then again, you will have to consider international shipping cost if it's a heavy unit, as wel... | |
| $1000 (used ok) Streamer Dac recommendation please Auralic Aries G1, I'm using the G2 in a $100K+ system and it's not holding anything up. You can also upgrade the power supply later should you choose to. | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? +1 @nonoise , it has to be satire right? No one is that aggressively stupid...right? | |
| Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier @celestial__sound The video is recorded with my 70$ smartphone (huawei). Don’t you think Wilson Chronosonic driven by D’Agoustino Monoblocks will sound the same on my phone? Don’t you? Please don’t waste our time with comments like this ... PL... | |
| Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier @celestial__sound I've great appreciation for topping devices and with great respect I think the PA5 wouldn't be able to drive those speakers above 80dbs before it will start clipping. Don't rely on laboratory measurements as the music is much ... | |
| Furutech GTX-D NCF or Power Cord @rsf507 Thanks, that's good to know. Curious which outlets have you tried before the Furutech GTX-D NCF? | |
| Furutech GTX-D NCF or Power Cord @jdub39 @rsf507 Thanks for the feedback. Did you find significant difference in opting for the additional wall plate and cover? They essentially double the price, so wondering if just getting the NCF outlet itself would yield meaningful improvemen... |
