Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
Has anyone purchased the inakustik 3500 off eBay? There is a seller from Germany who claims to be a licensed seller confering 2 year warrantee, and he messaged me saying he has US models as well (this listed on eBay have euro style plugs). Price i... 
spatial audio m3 or tekton perfect set
Thanks Oz,how did you audition your speakers? Did you have access to hear them before hand or did you do sight-unseen and audition them in your system with the return policy? How is the front/back imaging? I see that the X-3 have the AMT tweeter (... 
spatial audio m3 or tekton perfect set
The spatial (m3 I think) at CAF was amazing... so open and lifelike. Very interested to hear what others have heard with various spatial options... 
Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)?
Meaning omnipolar? To some degree gallo speakers are omnipolar for frequencies coming out of the tweeter, though the midbass drivers are standard front firing only.I'm not aware of any true omnipolar speakers that follow the mirage approach but ma... 
Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)?
I heard the spatial speakers (not sure which models) at the capital audio fest and they were breathtaking.... dynamic, open, airy, natural, and live. One of the few speakers that produced that "she is here singing now before me" sensation. And the... 
WHARFEDALE EVO 4.2 - any info?
" What was powering the 4.4’s at CAF?"thankfully I remembered to take a photo of the equipment list :) and for that system (which IMO was producing remarkable, natural, airy sound):* Warfedale Evo 4.4 speakers ($1995 pr)* Quad Vena II Integrated A...

Just heard the evo 4.4s at the capitol audio fest. Astonishing. Absolutely gorgeous midrange with airy silky highs (Eva Cassidy recording). Palpable 3d holographic imaging and natural tone and timbre. Oh, and rich yet controlled bass :)They are on...

Curious what those  backup speakers are :)

That statement makes sense in an analog paradigm. But digital, potentially, can change things.Think of video. Upscaling an image (well) can most certainly improve the quality. That’s not to say that algorithms can restore *the same* detail that wa... 
Chord Dave Replacement
I’d imagine that upscaling refers to increasing bit-depth (like from 16 to 24 bits) which adds "vertical" resolution to the waveform... in theory, improving amplitude resolution... making subtle low-level detail more natural and audible (among oth...
