| Wilson Alexia 2 lacking some bass I owned Alexia2 for almost one year and just traded in for AlexiaV this week. In my experience Wilsons are never lack of bass response (not sure you meant 40hz deep bass or 80-100hz mid bass, and not sure you meant lack of bass volume or dynamics ... | |
| Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why? I tried a PS20 in my system for 3 weeks ( brand new) from a friend who was moving her system so I “broke in “ for her. I didn’t feel any “darker” nor “quieter” background as anticipated, but I felt the sound stage (left/right) was slightly compr... | |
| Beautiful Colored Tube Preamp ($10k budget) to Pair w/ Very Accurate Monitors (PSI A25M) My experience with PSI active speakers are they tend to be very “forward” or “energized “ so please consider a preamp with input gain control | |
| Audio Research versus McIntosh tube amps: anyone experience or compare both? I have an audiophile friend who switched from pass lab XA160.8 to ARC ref250. Paired with ARC ref10 pre amp he and I just love how they sound with Magico S3. If you like details and “fast” response with a little tube bloom then ARC is one of the v... | |
| Monitor Stands - Made of Stone I use 40mm thick black granite on my Magico A5 (with its spikes, sitting on the granite) and gives a much more defined bass and revealed many more micro dynamics especially in the sub 80hz region. Had used other decoupling device and different thi... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? In my humble experience : speaker placement is the biggest factor of hearing (and reproducing ) the “depth” from your source of music. In most cases if your speakers are placed too close to the front wall of the room you tend to have a rather fl... | |
| Analog Upgrade itch @pindac thank you and it sounds very in consistent with what I heard from other audiophilies’ comment. DS “nothing wrong but nothing attractive” my personal but very limited experience is they are very detailed with exceptionally low noise floor. ... | |
| Analog Upgrade itch @karl_desch thanks , the StabiR + 4pt 11 is an upgrade to me, is worth every penny … now my itch goes to which cartridge I should try next 😂 : DS optical or SPU (I know they are very different) | |
| Analog Upgrade itch @surge a platform under your power supply ！ wow may I know what you used underneath your TT and your speakers lol ? just an update : for the last 2 months I was lucky enough to have several dealers let me audition different phonos in my prem... | |
| Need advice for upgrading my analog setup @thefrator hello I also upgrading my vinyl system and I agree with @ghdprentice phono stage and cartridges are equally important just like the table. I tried over 10 different brands over the last 2 months (half of them auditioned in my own system... | |
| What's your favorite $5-7000 turntable? +1 for Kuzma ,S or R if budget allows | |
| Second tonearm / cartridge @elliottbnewcombjr my phono amp does have 3 inputs : 2 MCs/ 1MM thanks for reminding me that. | |
| Looking for upgrade of Accuphase E-480 I auditioned several Accuphase (class AB / class A) but they all have the Accuphase signature sound. B&W seems to be a good match in general , so my suggestion is to try other amplifier brands. Or some of the recordings are just the way it is ... | |
| Which LS3/5a? Hello @bobheinatz i have (and still own) a pair of 15ohm Rogers walnut 3/5a(1990) and a pair of Harbeth Rosewood (special edition) 11ohm (1994) 1. I found them perform the best with Foundation speaker stands , without a proper stand , they don... | |
| To pricey I auditioned the new D4 (803/804) powered by Classe Audio and I didn’t like either of them but it could be the amplifications and the speakers were merely broken-in (I used to own N802 and love it!) IMHO you may want to consider upgrading the NA... |
