| Integrated amp + dac for Focal I was fortunate enough to snag one of the first pair of Focal Sopra No2's that came into the U.S., about 2 1/2 years ago. To select them, I listened to a LOT of speakers, I was upgrading from a pair of Totem Fire monitors, moving my system to a m... | |
| The Music Room I just completed my first transaction with them, an upgrade from my PS Audio P10 Power Plant, to the new P15 model.Not only are they "legit", but they offered a MUCH BETTER price on the upgrade, paid the shipping for my P10 return, and did all of ... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? " Open your mind and ears and give a horn system a unbiased extended listen".I couldn't agree more! We all hear differently and have different tastes. I personally am not a fan of "A/B" tests, frequent switching back and forth between speakers;... | |
| McIntosh Guy Going Tubes? (Maybe?) tlong1958,One of my audio buddies swapped out his MC452 for one MC275 and found (for him) it didn't have enough "horsepower". He purchased a second MC275, running them each as a "monoblock" and that put a smile on his face. Being retired and usi... | |
| McIntosh Guy Going Tubes? (Maybe?) I could not accommodate a pair of MC601's so I'm running an MC452. I believe both amps have "the best of both worlds", the "warm" sound that usually goes with tube amps, but the "speed" of solid state.The only problem I can see with going to a C2... | |
| McIntosh Guy Going Tubes? (Maybe?) I agree with tlong1958,I have a C2500 with Genalex Gold Lion tubes and an MC452 and would not change. I used to enjoy a C50 and when I received the C2500, there was a small, but noticeable change in the "musicality", especially voices and acousti... | |
| NAD C 275 Bee ...and another thing...The Sopra's are listed as 8 ohm speakers, but have a minimum of 3.1 ohms impedance....or two...Each NAD setup I've had has had a piece which failed and had to be serviced. My last NAD setup was their "Masters Series", and t... | |
| klipsh forte III purchase I would strongly recommend you bring some of your favorite music to a Klipsch dealer and spend some "quality time" listening to them. I used to sell Klipsch, had no reservations about doing so, but sometimes customers who took some time to listen... | |
| NAD C 275 Bee I owned several pieces of NAD equipment over the years, up to about five years ago, when I transitioned to PS Audio & McIntosh. I also have been enjoying a pair of Focal Sopra No2's since they were introduced.I find that the McIntosh amps are... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under I have a friend who listens to a lot of loud rock and roll and loves his Wilson Sasha W/P’s. They are very "revealing".I have another rocker friend who adores his Klipsch LaScala’s, but with those you might need a sub woofer, or two. From the Kli... | |
| Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members Dill,No, in that case we spoke before he made his way up to my house to pick up the unit, and when he arrived, he decided not to honor the price we agreed on via our phone call.After I told him I wasn't selling to him, he actually had the audacity... | |
| Vinyl VS Digital ap_wannabe,I've had a DirectStream DAC since they first came out, and one thing I've learned about digital is that the quality of the AC power makes a significant difference to the level of detail and the sound quality.I used to have a PS Audio P1... | |
| PS Audio uber dac From the PS Audio DAC forum, it DOES sound like Ted Smith is working on a two box unit, one with the digital stuff in it, the other the analog. So, this rumor might actually be true! | |
| Speakers on speaker stands-isolation ideas? I put some self-stick felt pads on the top of the stands, under the four corners of the bottom of the speakers, that seems to work well...in addition to filling the stand's upright with sand. | |
