| My new B Stock speakers I just read an easier way to break in speakers, especially where one doesn’t want too much interference with their living quarters. Install a solid state integrated amp or stream or CD player on continuous repeat as a source and here’s the differe... | |
| Back to the DAC @navyachts Sorry to hear that. My Poseidon will be on the top shelf of a tall rack. I was able to place my Jay's Audio transport in a 10" high rack shelf. There's still 5" to slide the drawer open and place the CD with puck above it in one sm... | |
| Insurance for system @dhite71 Thank you very much! I will contact them this week. | |
| Insurance for system @dhite71 I am currently checking with Lloyds of London as my Nationwide carrier cancelled my 22 commercial property fire/liability/earthquake insurance policies (no claims 18 years) last year and I have 9 months left after cancelling/non-renewal o... | |
| Back to the DAC @hysteve When I installed my Jay Audio transport, even poorly mastered/recorded CDs took on life whereby I am keeping them (I have 15,900 CDs). Where I thought there was distortion is now just bad miking or has poor quality digital transfers. The ... | |
| Insurance for system @garebear Yes, I can replace my equipment but not 50% of my record and CD collection. I cannot replace my 7,000 78s, of which half are ethnic music. I cannot replace my limited edition CD collection of classical vocal, piano and string on labels... | |
| Insurance for system The cost is under $1,500 for almost $300,000 coverage. | |
| Insurance for system I have added all my audio equipment to my scheduled personal items policy in my homeowner's insurance policy (HO5+). It includes jewelry, furniture, art works and audio equipment. The reason I added the audio equipment is because I live in Los A... | |
| Suggestions for power amps In your price range, the Kinki Studio monoblock amps at $3700 have enormous power and recommended in a review as comparable to low $10Ks amps. Todd at Tekaudiospecialties.com is the U.S. distributor, does modifications to make them even better an... | |
| Legacy Audio Focus SE vs. Canton Reference 5K I have had Legacy Signature IIIs for 18 years in my second system easily driven with a 35 watt EL34 tube amp. Superior deep and punchy bass. Open throughout 1,600' of floor space (emanates from my 400' living room). Excellent dispersion within ... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @minatophase3 Is this new Class A Coda amp equal or better than my anticipated purchase of the Westminster Labs REI (I know they have double the power but I have 96db 6 ohm efficient speakers so that's not an issue). | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @p05129 My neighbor purchased his YG Sonja 3s and I purchased a Von Schweikert VR9 SE MK2 98% for their sonic properties and 2% because they looked appropriate (great finishes, black-we like that, in our dedicated listening rooms and for the livi... | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? Well, the only time that my wife ever experienced a physically attached moment to an audio system was when she heard the Von Schwiekert Ultra 11 speaker plus subs in a huge hotel conference room with a $1 million system playing my LPs and a CD. Th... | |
| Planar Speakers and Diffusors I have extensive foam absorption on my side walls and ceiling with 90oz carpet. My front and rear walls are 3/4" cherry plywood with the entire room super strong and non-resonant (my profile indicates the $150K that went into building it). My old ... | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? In 2006, I had already owned a highly modified SME IV ($1100 in 1989) and wanted to upgrade from my VPI 19-4 (bought in 1982/all upgrades after). So, I purchased a VPI TNT (upgraded platter). It REQUIRED a Townshend Sesimic SInk due to terrible ... |
