| Upgrade path from Paradigm Studio Reference V3 I ask about the Cornwall IVs because I can get a great deal on them and they seem to line up with my desired attributes of dynamics and some treble sparkle. I have some concerns because my very first pair of real speakers were Cerwin Vegas. This w... | |
| Upgrade path from Paradigm Studio Reference V3 Ok. What about Klipsch Cromwell IV | |
| Upgrade path from Paradigm Studio Reference V3 Great suggestions. I did some reading on the ATCs and they do seem to fit the bill. The ATC SCM40 are just inside my price range so I will contact music direct and see if we cant work something out. | |
| Upgrade path from Paradigm Studio Reference V3 Sorry guys. They are studio 100 V3. I have been interested in the Tektons for a while, specifically Double Impact. Would love to hear about comparisons between my Paradigms and Tekton. | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? Interesting thread. I just purchased a Vecteur transport and Ares 2 dac for my red book cd habit. Very happy with the result.I won’t be purchasing a lot of new Cd’s and won’t be adopting DSD. I wish to purchase a streamer that would mate well with... | |
| Dac level to replace NAD C542 My 542 has always had a small tracking/reading issues. Rarely refuses to play a disk but seems to be getting worse. Its kind of random. Im interested in playing full resolution off my pc and phone as well so I figure my replacement should perhaps ... | |
| CD Player Upgrade Have you considered another NAD? the C545BEE or C565BEEI will consider those. I believe my CD23 was a far better player than the C542 but its one "weakness" happened to be in an area of utmost importance to me due my taste in music. I find the 542... | |
| Impedance matching device phttp://schiit.com/products/freya GeorgeThat does look nice but I am really happy with my VTL. Something to think about. | |
| Impedance matching device Thank you for the responses. It could very well be sensitivity related. Im really not sure.Hi there, you don't have a borderline mismatch or anything like that. The VTL should drive an amp with 23 Kohm input impedance just fine. Why do you think... | |
| Aragon 8008ST vs Sumo Andromida III 405 posts03-09-2017 2:38pmHello energeezerI think from your description you are hearing the difference's between the two amps fairly accurately as I remember hearing them for a few weeks of time side by side about 25yrs ago. I had them on Thiel 1.... | |
| Aragon 8008ST vs Sumo Andromida III I say definitely give your soon to be refreshed 8008ST a fighting chance. Either or both of the scenarios could exist. Though long in the tooth, the Aragon 8008ST is a rock solid powerful amp that deserves a second chance after repair/refresh.Ab... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings So it seems that you have ZERO interest in this Class D amplifier technology. You simply want everyone else to buy into the Class D amplifier technology, and just "give" you their nasty old Class A A/B amplifiers. Nice thread synopsis!Perhaps we c... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings Some of you miss the point. The point is simple. As Class D advances it will eat into the high end class A market. We have seen this already happening to a small degree. Some people on this thread indicate they already switched.Once Class D is cl... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings "761 posts02-02-2017 8:39pmThe analogy is interesting because from the start hi definition flat panels were better than CRT scrrens, I don’t think the same is true and maybe never will be with regard to class a and ab amps v. Class d amp"This is a... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings Although I did say I was waiting I know I can't. Ill lose my mind.My Aragon 8008 (admittedly not true high end) has been at the shop for 6 weeks now and I’m suffering withdrawl. If it isn’t ready soon or can’t be economically repaired I will buy s... |
