Any Paradigm Persona 3f and GoldenEar Reference comparisons?
Nice to hear how well the new Dynaudio Contour 60s compared to the Reference. Would also be curious if anyone has compared the Dyns to the Persona 5f or 7F. 
Best analytical loudspeakers for strings (midrange)?
Just heard the Persona 5Fs yesterday (powered by Meridian DAC/Pre/Amp with Transparent cable) and the sound was perhaps the most detailed I’ve ever heard, yet still "musical". I think this presentation may be the sort of sound you’re after (the or... 
Personas....7F vs 9H
Hey guys,Thanks for the input. And yes all of the "advantages" of the 9H make sense given the room-correction and ability to be more amp-friendly etc.However, given how great the 5F sounds... I think many of us are still keen to know how the 7F so... 
Paradigm Personas anyone heard them
Don’t get me wrong; I am not knocking the 9H, I would love them just as anyone else, but all I am saying is that they could of easily had a 9H and 9F version (for less money).If everything the dealer told me is correct (he seemed to know his stuf... 
Magico A3
Anyone hear any news on release date for the US? really curious to hear these (and see how they sound compared to comparably priced Dyn countour 60s, or comparably priced used Salon2s, for example) 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
Steve59,I've also got a Hegel amp (and their HD30 DAC) and am now looking to upgrade to a pair of speakers that do better justice to the upstream components as well as my ears (my AV 123 Rockets have worn out their welcome). I would imagine that t... 
Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio
Dmance... curious how it all turned out! 
Magico A3
Any news? Any reviews? appearing yet in any US showrooms?? 
Speakers that work well with Hegel H30 amp (10K or less)?
guys, thanks for all the input thus far (and please don't let my interruptive post dissuade anyone from providing more feedback and opinion-diversity).Regarding ebm's post... when the heck do those Magico A3's make an appearance? I keep seeing "fi... 
Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons
A bit surprised that no one has come out of the woodwork to comment on a direct comparison between the "higher end" but older Confidence line versus a companion model from the newer but "lower end" Contour. In particular, I'm curious about the new... 
Burn In on Aurender N100H
Really appreciate this thread. I just purchased an aurender n100h to pair with my hegel hd30 dac. The dealer loaned me a few step-up cables but so far none sound satisfying. The ansuz x usb is warm and round but dry with no air and grayish backgro... 
XLR I/C's for Hegel H20 amp-P20 preamp-VEGA DAC
Hi all,I'm reviving this post because I'm in the same boat... about to get a Hegel power amp and DAC (also Hegel) and want to go balanced between them (the DAC has volume so it will act as a preamp for now). The AV shop where I auditioned had some... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Thanks guys,I’ll take the plunge and order the 1800.my amp is on the way from ebay (got a good deal on a nice Hegel amplifier) and my dac (also Hegel) should be ready to pick up from my local AV dealer (command performance in fairfax va) late this... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
BS? You mean the stuff with delayed shipping?I’m in no rush so I can handle some extra time.What I’m interested in is a power conditioner that will let mynew gear sound as it’s meant to sound and without constricting the dynamics of my amp. I join... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
I'm so glad I found this thread. I'm about to (after a decade without) assemble a dedicated audiophile 2-channel system and really want to start out with the right power filtering. The last time I lived where I could really set up a 2 channel syst...
