| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? @geoffkait in systems where the floor substrate is ~6" concrete slab the vibrations from the speakers through the slab and over to the equipment rack (10+ feet away) are likely much less than the acoustic vibrations impinging on the same equipment... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? @mikelavigne I think you are right; The sharp points eventually just burrow into the concrete; I can sometimes turn the threads just enough to give that rock solid foundation, but it does not last.Something like the IsoAcoustic carpet spike thing ... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? Very informative thread. Thank you all.What is the preference for 100 pound speakers (dynaudio contour 60 ish) that are setup in my basement. The flooring is, wall to wall carpet, carpet pad, concrete slab 6 inches thick, earth.When I use the nati... | |
| Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide! Dynaudio S40's all day long;I owned them and loved the sound so much I wanted more of it (bass reach, scale, volume) I wound up with Contour 30's then Contour 60's; Definite house sound all the way through. In my very simple 5.1 home theater sound... | |
| The one tweak most Focals need ... I tweaked my Focal Sopra 2's the right way: I got rid of them; biggest audio disappointment thus far; | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 @caphill nice collection and great feedback on the Naim gear. I have always wanted to hear some of the amps; I was really curious about the Super Nait integrated some time ago; In looking at the insides of the units from the glorious world of Goog... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 @yyzsantabarbara 2 years ago I had the AHB2 with Dyn Contour S3.4 Le's and was initially impressed by the little amp, but overtime grew to dislike the sound; super duper detailed ...to a fault in my mind; There was something very odd about the pre... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 hello; I currently have Focal Sopra 2; I have a PS Audio Directstream (had the A21 Halo/JC2 combo, BHK and also LS27 so similar hardware experience as you) and currently run a luxman m900u amp (c900u preamp inbound); Previous to the Sopra 2’s I ha... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @mattnshilp forgive me if I did not pick it out of this lengthy thread (really wish agon had better inner-thread searching) but have you heard the MSB Discrete DAC? Even with the extra power supply and a quad USB module, the DAC is well under 15K;... | |
| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's @plb02 what did you decide on? Thanks! | |
| LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U I had the 509X, and it is stunning, best integrated i’ve ever heard by a wide margin; The 509X does not have the C-900U preamp. It might have a few bits here and there, but make no mistake, it is NOT a C900u; that being said the 509X is amazing a... | |

| Pass Labs XA30.8 The XA30.8 will totally have enough power to perform to your stated goals and then some. I used an XA30.5 on my Dynaudio Contour 60’s and was absolutely floored by how awesome it sounded; Drove them to perceived distortion free levels beyond which... | |
| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius Aww, Very sad. I have had a few discussions with Roy over the years. Best customer service I have ever experienced in this field. He took the time to detail out the smallest things, that end up being the big things. Late last year I got 2 of his l... |
