| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? Nelson Pass in particular should be ashamed of his contribution to this art form with thousands of music lovers trapped in his web of delusional sonic bliss. "Oh the humanity!" That's not a statement I'd ever utter or support. Nelson Pass' cont... | |
| Marantz Receiver Bad HDMI This sucks, since I was about to buy a refurbished unit to act as my HT processor into my integrated. :( | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? Does anyone have experience with Wilsons and either of these amps?? | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? Thanks so much for posting that, @mikey8811 | |
| The one tweak most Focals need ... Hey @auxinput - Smoother is exactly the word. I find the Solen caps Focal uses to be really pretty harsh sounding. I prefer Mundorf MKP's relatively to those. though not all agree. Clarity is less dark, but also a lot less harsh than what Focal pu... | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? So, Audiogon removed the posts where I called those calling me a troll trolls. I’m not sure what the standard is. I stand by the removed posts. This was a perfectly good thread until posters started criticizing me. I challenge anyone to see where ... | |
| Speaker kits recomendations Maybe Horn TL hybrid lets talk speaker kits I recommend everyone on this thread go over to DIYaudio. You'll find people willing to buy raw drivers, as well as great advice on finding a starter kit. :) | |
| Am I the only one who doesn’t love Harbeth P3esr? You haven't mentioned the listening angle. Both toe-in and tilt-back can improve things. | |
| The one tweak most Focals need ... Those tweets are hard to replace. The Mundorf MKP’s are cheap and to me, a big improvement. Give them 48 hours to break in. | |
| Tube or SS Pre Upgrade With balanced io a requirement, Ayre, Luxman are SS models I'd suggest you listen to. I think it's more important to balance against your speakers than necessarily attempt a best of SS AND Tubes. Sometimes, with very hard to drive speakers, a SS a... | |
| What Shunyata and Furman (SMP) Have in common - Inductance! Hi Sadono, As far as I know, the license/patent comes from Jack R. Harford / Electronic Systems Protection. Please post a link to any legal documents / reporting regarding licensing issues with Furman. https://patents.google.com/patent/US4870528A/... | |
| Does your system hate you when you ignore her? Thank you @three_easy_payments . I stand corrected!! | |
| Speaker kits recomendations Maybe Horn TL hybrid lets talk speaker kits For horns, check out Great Plains. Otherwise the usual places are Solen, Meniscus, Madisound and Parts Express. Lots of waveguide fans too, not quite horns, cheaper and easier to assemble. | |
| Does your system hate you when you ignore her? Depends on the gear. I had Class D amps which needed a solid 3 days of being on before they sounded listenable.My current amp, a Luxman, warms up in no time flat. I've heard reports from a Pass owner that some of their amps can take 5 days to warm... | |
| I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology @tomic601 I just meant that relatively we overspend. Is a $2K tweeter with a $300 mid-woofer really a good balance? P.S. - I am guilty of this myself. :) |
