| Sony SCD-777ES, Oppo UPD-205 or Marantz SA-KI Ruby Instead of a Marantz Ruby, how about the Luxman D03X at $3500 or the ultimate Luxman D10X at $16,000 (discounted some places). | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @jaymark and @charles1dad I am between the Jay's Audio CD2 Mk3 and the Project. However, did anyone compare the NEW 2019 Jay's Audio CD2 Mk3 rather than the prior model Mk2? Steve Guttenberg reviewed them both and found significant improveme... | |
| Seeking advice for speakers for my Family Room Yes, massive rugs and textured, sound absorbent wall hangings can cut down the reverberation so that you can at least enjoy listening to sound (talk) while watching TV. I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your goal. I assume that the current sound is ... | |
| Seeking advice for speakers for my Family Room @maxwave I 100% agree, lovely room, not for serious music production or reproduction. I spent more to build my sound room than the equipment. Just too many hard and reflective surfaces (marble tile floors and the wall between the speakers, t... | |
| Review of Quadratic MC-1 SUT With Comparisons to Other SUTs I'd like you to hear the Jensen old Audio Interface (40 & 80 ohm versions), their new version MC-2RR ISO-MAX 2 low & high) and my purchase of the 40 position Zesto Andros Allasso. $550 and $3600 . I perfectly matched my former Benz Ruby... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Wrong-my Legacy Focus have been measured at 96.4 db efficiency only 1.6db down from stated 98 db. My friends VR 35 export is 90 db 8 ohms, minimum of 5 ohms at 25 Hz. These are accurate and make them easy to drive by most amplifiers. My 35 wat... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? I heard it less on Volti than on many other horns I've heard. I prefer dynamic speakers. I intend to audition the Botticelli planars. L.A. audio show was cancelled so again, I cannot hear some of the speakers I wanted to hear most unless I go... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? @csggolf My friends and I also heard the Rivals at Los Angeles area shows with them set on the long wall. Unusual that we sat for 30 minutes listening to various types of music since we generally dislike horn speakers. It was the most engaging... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Okay, I currently own Legacy Focus (98db 4 ohm/low at 2.8 ohm) and Signature IIIs (94db 4 ohm). They are easy to drive using EAR 890, custom 125 watt Class A/B and Dynaco (highly modified) ST70 tube amps and the 35 watt Yamaha CR620 receiver. I in... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? The Cherry finished pair of Legacy Focuses (98db, maybe actually 96.4db) originals for moderate to large size rooms. Conventional but nice looking. Or 94db, easier to drive (30 tube watts-loud and punchy bass) Legacy Signature IIIs (only know o... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? @mozartfan - My friend's Von Schweikert VR-35 Export is a fantastic speaker with 1st order crossovers at 80 Hz and 6K Hz, essentially a full range driver (pair) with subwoofer and supertweeter. With a McIntosh C20 and RM-9 pre and amp, it reprod... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? My friends and I heard the Botticellis at an audio show. Playing bass clarinet low notes, they were astounding. The trio played was superb. Unfortunately, they underpowered them for bigger jazz. We must go to the showroom to audition them wi... | |
| Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears 90% of Claudia Muzio recordings will reduce me to tears (and every time I see the end of Madame Butterfly live at the LA City Opera). The tenor Giacomo Lauri-Volpi wrote of Muzio: Singing with that unique voice of hers made of tears and sighs and... | |
| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... I don't see why the Walker could have any negative effect on any cable. However, I used the Destat III on cables alone and didn't like the effect, so I used the Walker to reverse it. The effect only lasts about a day anyway. | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Designing and manufacturing a high end product is first of all risky and generally expensive. Making a successful and great sounding high end speaker is not for the faint of heart. Contrariwise, high end cable is as risky but generally not as ... |
