| Magico vs the world Happy owner of YG Haileys here. Very revealing and dynamic, allowing one to freely upgrade every little thing and hear the improvements. I disagree with negative comments about their bass. I think it is great for the size of the drivers, and ac... | |
| New Amp... Is it time to switch my speaker cables?? Prior to my K-S Elation I had all Audience AU24SX. I had thought them smooth and revealing. The Elation were just as smooth and revealing bu much meatier in the midrange and bass. Smooth across the entire spectrum. I sold all of my Audience to... | |
| New Amp... Is it time to switch my speaker cables?? Hi @williewonka Silver cables tend to be very detailed, but they can sound warm also. In my experience silver (speaker) cables are bright not dull. I have very resolving equipment, as I imagine the Krell is, and like all copper cables. @que... | |
| REL 12" Carbon vs JL Audio 12" Fathom Hello @gdfein , Still loving my 2 pairs, one Carbon Limiteds and one Carbon Specials. Once dialed in they disappear and make everything better. I did move them around a bit, one pair is run with REL wireless, the other wired. They are not in '... | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years. Hello @jsbail Three is a nice looking pair of K8's on USA. I would by them if I was speaker shopping! | |
| Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC Hello @bigfatpaulie, lots of good advice here! @ghdprentice is always spot on. I have had a friend's Dave in for direct comparison to my MM Tambaqui. He sold the Dave and got a Tambaqui if that tells our story. It sounds great buy it self wit... | |
| What to do with dead equipment There is a major company in Boulder that accepts any equipment for trade in value based on original MSRP. | |
| Need a big favor picking a preamp @davetheoilguy hello, you have amazing stuff! I would just be the Esoteric Fanboy! I have Stern and Heisenbergs...If I can't hear synergy at least I can see it! Both easily better than the (old) Classe I have heard to me. Good Luck! | |
| Help with speaker selection @vernv said Gershman Grand Avant Garde. Very musical and well within your price range. +1 . I heard these at CAF and they were outstanding. So were the WestminsterLab amps. | |
| Help with speaker selection Hello @ghdprentice and @hk_fan ! I own the Revel Salon 2's and have heard the SF Amatis at Overture in Delaware. I have to disagree with Bard. I have the Salon 2s in a large family room that connects through the eat in area and then large k... | |
| When you can't unhear ! Hi @lalitk The A-2 is very nie. It was hardly optimized, replacing a Halo A51 with surround pre pro, stok ables everywhere and old B//W Nautilus 802's. but it shines! I now have added an Elation PC, Auralic altair wifi streamer / DAC nad an ela... | |
| When you can't unhear ! ...and I liked every Soulnote system (?4or 5) I heard at CAF. Weren't they part of a large distributor section with multiple rooms? | |
| When you can't unhear ! +1 @coralkong if you look at my system, it was supposed to just be a second basement system to hear while working on my model railroad. I went to audition the Parasound Halo Hint 6 integrated w onboard DAC. The speakers at the demo were mid leve... | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice Amazing deals on demo YG Hailey 2's, probably 25K Or get one of the last pairs of Revel Salon 2's for about 10 - 12k. Besst value out there IMHO. | |
| Hifi Rose 150B vs. Auralic Altair G2.1 I use two Altair G1 and G1.1 in a weekend home wirelessly. .Tthey are stable, rock solid and sound great for the money. |
