| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan @jrimer I went to my first audio show in July this year at Pacific Audio Fest and that is one of the main things I noticed along with several rooms playing music too loud. A lot of modern music doesn''t have wide open space and is more challenging... | |
| Eversolo v. HiFi Rose @tonyptony Not quite so simple because the streamer without the Dac (rs130) is more expensive than the streamer with the Dac (rs150). Plus the rs130 price moves it into Aurender, Innous and Lumin price territory. | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing @norust and @jmfawdofile I'm in the same boat. I would really like to know what you (norust) think about the Aurender N200 as that is one I'm looking at closely. I don't think I want to buy Aurender used as they don't transfer warranties and ... | |
| Pairing with LS50 for whole home audio I have the KEF LS50 metas and they seem to love Class D amplification if that helps at all. | |
| Galion TS120 I just want to update my situation. I am using the Valahalla amp for my main speakers, Spatial Audio Lab X5s. I went to Pacific Audio Fest and met the Spatial Audio Lab gang who are also making the Valhalla amp. Also Don Sachs who built the Valhal... | |
| Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro @rongvk Didn't see your post directed at me until now and I've had issues posting and updating my account. Sorry, I have no information on the Bison monitors other than what's online. Here is one article if that helps: https://parttimeaudiophile.... | |
| Galion TS120 @veerossi Thanks for the report. I was very much considering the Galion. Thomas had suggested that I be part of the testing process but I declined after obtaining the Valhalla mainly because the effort of switching these heavy amps and connections... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? Assuming that my understanding is that "soundstage" is the location/positioning of the instruments including vocals and is not the same as "imaging" which would be the projection of the soundscape into the room, soundstage initially comes from the... | |
| "If These Walls Could Sing"...Documentary about Abbey Road Studios Saw this a while back. Very worthwhile. | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? Along with the sellers who have return policies, there are forums out there which have subforums with owners of various speakers and maybe someone near where you live. I've found many audio lovers are very generous (or just lonely?) with their tim... | |
| 300b lovers @donsachs @lynn_olson It was great to meet you both at PAF and thanks to each of you for taking time to talk to me. That was the main reason I went there (and yes, Lynn, the lines at SeaTac were awful flying out). My given name is Jonathan a... | |
| Magnapan LRS+ VS .7 I started with the LRS (not the +) and it made me want more. I got the .7s and I thought it gave me more but then I wanted more. The .7s can be gotten fairly cheap used. I'd go that direction. | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Just introducing myself as a Don Sachs Valhalla owner which was actually made by Cloud over at Spatial Audio Labs after Don taught Cloud how to make the amp. Really loving it. | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 After getting my speakers, Spatial Audio X5s, I went to the house of someone else who owned the same speakers. He had a Cary tube amp and the F7 and we listened to both. The difference was immediate and stark. The F7 sounded thin and shrill. This ... | |
| Probably a dumb question There's also a Coda preamp on Audio Circle along with the amp linked by @grinnell above. https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?board=103.0 |
