| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue I haven't read every post here, but as a 1969 HS graduate, Dylan was the giant of songwriting when Joni came on the scene. Her early, more universal songs (like on Ladies and Clouds) made her a songwriting star. Then she turned to more confession... | |
| Turntable advice We can go on naming excellent TTs forever. Do you have a record collection? If so, what's in it? It astounds me that people whose musical tastes consist of mass produced pop and rock music spend big $$$ on highly revealing systems in the first ... | |
| Need help choosing my first amp for my first speakers KnotScott asks good questions, but you have set a high bar for yourself by choosing such inefficient speakers. I would start with a Fosi ZA3 amp, which will give you a reliable clean power supply and can be bridged if more output is desired later.... | |
| Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome. I got to hear my reference playlist on them and was very impressed. They really do it all with no apparent effort. I don’t get that from the other top speakers I have heard, which include comparable models from B&W, Focal, and Wilson. Right ... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume Have you heard Focal Sopra No.1s? Outstanding range, clarity, and imaging stand mount compact speaker. Run with Naim Uniti Nova as Roon endpoint. | |
| My end game speaks. In that range, the best I have heard are the Dali Epikore 11 and SF Il Cremonese. Both musically balanced, effortlessly conveying completely integrated full scale soundscapes. Both beautiful designs too. | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I am an audio curmudgeon/cheapskate...I would never spend this kind of money on speakers. BUT...I recently heard the new Dali Epikore 11s, and while $60K is waaaaay beyond anything I could ever justify even if I could afford it, they immediately ... | |
| Overkill for small room I will pile on and applaud your excellent choice. They should work well in your room size, set up on proper stands and positioned with care. You don’t say whether you have electronics, nor what you expect in terms of dynamics, but a pair of 7” w... | |
| TUBE REPAIR WESTERN MASS-ALBANY Check out Amplifier Experts in western CT...Mark is a very capable engineer who did nice work for me on a Marantz 7C and Dyna ST70. | |
| Specific Node/Airplay question MQA was acquired by Lenbrook, parent company of NAD and Bluesound, so it is not “out of business” nor “dead”. My advice to the OP is to restore their Tidal subscription and enjoy their Node 2i through a new-to-them C2600 DAC. Many of my customers... | |
| For the love of...kits? No mention of Parts Express kits? Their Morel kits, Ardmore and Solstice, are more affordable than Falcon’s. The Dayton Audio Samba and Orian are much more affordable. | |
| Why do some amplifiers throw a bigger soundstage than others? In the “everything matters” way of thinking, the only valid test setup is to use identical conditions for both DUTs, and to introduce nothing extra into the apparatus that isn’t required for critical listening…that means no ABX switches, disconnec... | |
| Question about NAD 7400 vs new integrated amp My $.02…get an integrated with HT bypass and a voltage trigger to activate it. The preamp in the integrated will outperform the one in the AVR when used with stereo-only sources, and that will matter more than you imagine. Look at Parasound Halo... | |
| Best Sounding Adapter - Making RCA into Banana or Spade? Thanks! The use of Line out Converters (LOCs) is well established in autosound, as factory head units lack preamp outputs. I use a Stinger LOC in one of my systems to hook up a pair of subs that lack speaker level inputs. While other options may exist, th... |
