| Who is excited about Capital Audiofest 2023? My Favorites: Von Schweikert Endeavor SE's with massive VAC equipment; these smaller reasonable VS's were amazing in that room. VS VR-55 mkII with Westmisterlab REI mono's and Lampi Horizon. Wow. These class A amps are small and run cool. Hav... | |
| My High End Audio Gear As A Long Term Investment!!! What is satisfying is going to CAF and finding few systems better than your own! I enjoyed the Von Schweikert Speakers (VR-55mkII w/ active bass) and WestminsterLab amps (REI CLASS A Monoblocks) and the Lampi Horizon. | |
| Audience Cables I tried several manufacturers cables when first looking to upgrade. I settled on Audience AU 24SX and gradually acquired a full loom. I thought they were great. Then my dealer swapped in a pair of Kubala Sosna Elation speaker cables. Wow. muc... | |
| Power Cables - Third Party or OEM @akgwhiz check out VHAudio. Chris is super nice and gives automatic discounts. I made long runs of speaker cables with Furutech wire and spades and heat shrink that came out great looking and sounding. I bought a Ryobi battery 18v heat gun, and... | |
| Power Cables - Third Party or OEM I believe in synergy and would want as much the same as possible. That said, I think I would start by trying different power cables, even bypassing the power conditioner so you know what your are hearing. Pretty hard to try several power conditi... | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer Yes rick. I was trying to politely point that out to fred60. You are of course correct! Ken | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer Yes the REL HT’s are great. But do they have ‘high level’ inputs? This is where the 2 channel magic happens, tapping off the actual L and R amplifier outputs. BTW, this seems unique to REL, but can be done with any sub that has ‘speaker level’ ... | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer Congratulations @drlou77 ! don’t be afraid to move it around to what may seem non standard positions. I first placed my REL Carbon Limiteds in the very standard, ‘just inside’ my main speakers. Looked good, sounded boomy due to reflections of ... | |
| PS audio or Moon Hi @sandrodg73, I have owned all of the PS Audio equipment and the BS models you mentioned. I agree with Jb, PS and Paul are friendly, kind, helpful and have great customer service. And it is beautiful country! But i do not think any of those ... | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer Definitely 2 REL subs. They are not really expensive relative to your other gear. 2 subs disappear and blend much more easily than one. I own two pairs of REL subs in my 2 channel systems, Carbon Specials and Carbon Limiteds. Listeners don't e... | |
| New computer for Streaming???? Old computer < dedicated (Mac mini) computer < inexpensive streamer (iFi, blue sound) = (maybe) network card < good dedicated streamer. I have had all. Now using Grimm MU1 to run roon core and stream. You don’t need roon, but I like it..... | |
| LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW! @calvinj yes the studio 2 and salon 2’s do nothing wrong. I had the studio’s, and actually saw an add for someone wanting to swap his Salon 2’s for Studio’s +.$. so I rented a minivan, drove to Nashville (half way to Texas), and did the deal. ... | |

| New speaker cables recommendations sought I would look at the best Kubala Sosna cables used you can afford. Yes, @cakyol can save you a boat load of money. Or you can be happy with smooth sweet full sounding cables. (Rain or not) :) We all spend for what we appreciate. | |
