| New Audiogon equipment search format. The peepholes qualify as Engineering Monuments--a testimony to the developer's cleverness, but fill no need. I (eye?) strain to see what's being rendered. | |
| Sonist Concerto 4 Gen 2 Speaker Thanks, Roxy54. I was trying to build "Last System" so I previously purchased a used VAC 200 IQ with KT88's, which is probably about 10x the power needed for the Sonist. I still have the original VAC Avatar integrated with EL34's. When I find t... | |
| Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ? Anecdotally, of the many amps I've heard, the ones that stopped me in my tracks were all tubed except for an Accuphase and a Levinson ML23. But that was a long time ago. If I were interested in the best solid state now, I'd compare Accuphase wit... | |
| Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing I've had the Isoacoustic Gaia II for a couple of weeks, but inconclusive as to whether bass is tightened or attenuated. They restrict box movement to front-to-back, but couldn't that result in the bass cone not pushing against a solid plane? That... | |
| The best place in NYC Rhapsody on West 24th. | |

| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Sonist Audio. I going to post my impressions of their Concerto 4 Gen2 in a few days. http://sonistaudio.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=1 | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? In my experience, I thought I was looking for a magical mystical linestage that money could deliver, but I was actually trying to correct abnormalies in the speakers. When the speaker were great, direct from DAC was glorious...but still open-minded. | |
| High End is Dead? For many of us, the central thing that was happening in the 60's and 70's was the sudden surge in creativity of relevant music, and we wanted to experience it as fully as possible. Our experiential lives were directly related to the music we expe... | |
| Axpona 2018 It was my first Axpona, and I was impressed. Most rooms sounded good. Some downstairs rooms seemed cavernous. The full-up Avantguard system in a room suite seemed ridiculous.Always amazed at the breadth of tastes and hearing. Here were my impr... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" To me, Joseph Audio always has one of the best sounds at the shows, and Axpona was no exception. He gets that extremely lifelike "hear the vocals chords vibrating" insight that I normally only hear on very good, super-efficient speakers driven by... | |
| Should I eliminate my preamp? Just to update my own experimentation...I found happiness with an ARC REF 3 linestage, but only after I replaced the tubes with a spare set of new Sovteks that came with it. The existing tubes were well within their life-cycle, but I did noticed ... | |
| Should I eliminate my preamp? Since I've gone from tube integrated, to direct-from-DAC to tube amp, to solid state linestage, to classis ARC tube pre-amp, to newer ARC tube linestage, I've decided that....it depends. I have some speculations and experiences but few technical c... | |
| Organic Power Cord with Micro-Detail With the plethora of fake cables, what's a good source of the Oyaide Black Mamba Sigma V2 that is reliable, safe and a good price?Thx | |
| Should I eliminate my preamp? I just travelled this road. The direct from DAC was clean, extended, with great dynamics from lower mids down. Things like Neil Young at the Cellar Door sounded live, and bombastic things like Emerson Lake and Palmer sounded bombastic. No liste... |
