Looking for advice re: amps for Dynaudio Contour 20i
I own Dynaudio Heritage but I have a Contour Ci center. All three being driven by Simaudio M400 mono amps. Outstanding. This is the two channel version of the 400ms I own. It would be an excellent match. 330A. Class A first five watts.. Check Si... 
Was my friend given misinformation.
Best Buy and Magnolia. Not the same and not all stores have a Magnolia. Magnolia vs Magnolia. Some are worse than others. I have a very good friend that works for Magnolia in the Bay Area. He knows his shit. So let’s not slump it all into one buck... 
Monstrous power cables
I think it’s hard to throw 10 strangers in a room and try cables on a system they are not familiar with. I understand the folks stating show me the science, I also understand some hold their ground so tight they are not even remotely open to the i... 
Considering moving on from B&W...
I did not have the 800 series but the 702S2. I really thought they were great speakers and they are but was out messing around and stopped by a dealer to listen to Dynaudio again. I was a former owner. Auditioned Confidence 20 and the Dynaudio He... 
Can cables have a shelf life?
I’ve got them running. Thanks for the input. I have a loaner coming just to compare. It’s sounding better. I want to put the Kimber Hero back in then try something not Kimber. Going to insert an Audioquest Water in. But I am certain night one was...

Best streamer for a returning audio guy
Seriously and very much feel strongly about it. Try the iFi Zen. For the money, for someone wanted to try to see if they like it it really has no equal in its price range. Sound, ease of use, access to all you need. I’ll give you $2 if you find ... 
AudioQuest Hurricane and PS Audio AC12
The Hurricane is an amp cable correct (high current)? I ordered a Blizzard for my Simaudio Streaming DAC that I have on order. Still a month out. I may throw it on my Arcam 860 prepro for a month to give a spin since my DAC order is at least a mon... 
Local pick up only…
I had to post on this. Just this weekend I sold my towers. Damn the shipping costs were going to be insane. I was really worried and they were white, look hot but not for everyone. I just had a bad feeling. I am in the Bay Area. First offer came ... 
Deciding between kef r11, b&w 702s2 and sonus faber sonetto v
Never did I think I would own Bowers speakers. I picked up the 702 S2 two weeks ago. They are NOT bright and they are not edgy.Im really quite happy with them early in. And they are outstanding imagers. I’ve moved them out of their dedicated spots... 
Monoblock suggestions to compare to SimAudio Moon Neo 400M?
The 400m are outstanding, I’ve used them with various speakers over the years and they are outstanding with a small form factor for a mono that I really appreciate.My only issue, and I was actually going to ask in a new thread but Will piggy back ... 
I need help trying to decide which bookshelf speakers to purchase
Sorry, I missed your request to not buy and return speakers. No Dynaudio near?  
I need help trying to decide which bookshelf speakers to purchase
$3K. Dynaudio Special 40. Outstanding. At Audio Advisor you get the 40s and the correct Dynaudio Stand 6 thrown in. A $500 value. Not it sure what their return policy is. Crutchfield. Same speakers but no stands but 30 day trial period with a smal... 
KEF Reference 1 vs. Olympica 1
I owned the Reference 1 and the large center since they first came available and recently sold them. They are great speakers and i did I did enjoy them but as time went by I grew less interested in them. They do nothing wrong as many speakers in t... 
McIntosh Mx151 vs. Krell Foundation vs Arcam AV 860
The problem with the Krell is it is only HDMI 2.0 (not 2.0a or 2.0b). 2.0 cannot pass HDR and cannot be fixed with a software upgrade. It is a hardware issue.For this reason, in my search, it was taken off the list.i now have Arcam AV860 and I’m n...
