| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? OP’s equipment isn’t up to the task imo. Old, un-revealing gear. | |
| Preamp choices:Short list The people in here speaking up AGAINST the common mode noise rejection offered by true balanced connections/designs are Luddites.In no case is SE better than balanced. | |
| Curl or Pass I usually can’t stand George’s posts, but he’s not wrong here. I use my Nelson Pass designed Adcom GFP-750 in passive mode every day with a 4v XLR output from my DAC and as the Mandalorian’s would say “This is the way”.As for “Curl vs Pass”, I’m n... | |
| What’s the benefit of placing speakers like this? (diagonally at the corner) My brain won’t allow for this kind of room asymmetry, I’d lose it. I’ll have to suffer with room treatments slightly less perfect sound. | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale? I own two pair of 2CE (black / tan) and have had the tan ones in dry storage for a bit waiting for the right person to gift them to. They’re the kind of speakers that sound so good that non audiophiles will sit down and suddenly start paying atten... | |
| What Was Your Favorite “Game Changer” Moment? For me, room treatments and proper speaker placement was the biggest mind blower. | |
| Any advice? Parasound A21, Ayre V5xe, Benchmark AHB2, or Bryston 4B3? AHB2 has the most resolving power of the amps mentioned.. can’t believe someone stated otherwise. | |
| Projector Power Cords I think something that a lot of power cord haters are not considering is that many (almost all?) of us are using either nice power conditioners or regenerators (PS Audio), and so the “why would the last few feet matter” argument falls apart. I jus... | |
| Polk Audio LSi 15 - are these the REAL DEAL ??? I know I’m resurrecting the oldest thread ever, but I feel like I have to. I owned a pair of LSi7 bookshelves about a decade ago that I absolutely LOVED, and I ended up selling them to make room for new gear and regretted it every day since.So im ... | |
| McIntosh vs Accuphase? Accuphase and Mac shouldn’t be in the same thread, sorry Mac guys. Accuphase is superior in literally all respects. | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab @Recluse Yea, why would anybody ever want to read informed opinion with actual in room test data. According to most AG’ers, science is the devil. | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab I chose the F208’s in gloss mahogany myself, so +1 for the Revel Alliance 😛 | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? I feel like I could very accurately estimate the OPs demographics and age just by the “tone” and “imaging” of his threads. Pouting about lesser audiophiles thinking that they’ve gained access to some secret club that requires a decoder ring and mi... | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D @noble100 Thanks for posting that BP interview in its entirety, the cherry picked quotes were annoying me as well but I wasn’t about to start a war. Guys a genius, I’d actually love to see what he can do with a Class A A/B design now that he seems... | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D @anotherbob I certainly hope so, if any rube on the internet can order up PuriFi or nCore parts and put them in a ChiFi case from eBay, achieving superior results, surely a company with NADs resources can too... Or maybe not? |
