| What were some of your early Hi-End audio gear/influences? Sad to say, but when I heard Bose in college, I was hooked on hifi.Let's see. I know I had a pair of AR speakers that were small bookshelf speaker/monitors that had an unusual shape- the outer edges were tapered. I also ran another pair of bookshe... | |
| Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As @bigkidz ,I’m on Long Island. Let’s make a date. I know for a fact there is a good pizza place just down the road.-though Rutt’s Hut isn’t far either.I haven't heard of GT Audio until now. I will try to listen to a pair.As you have listed your equ... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? I got an email from Wally providing Tracking numbers for my Deep Cores, as well.B | |
| Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1 As a dealer we can freely post, and as mentioned we are supposed to list that we are dealers.But, you do it with an eye for making a sale. Or, at least, that is how it comes across...B | |
| magnepanLRS or 1.7i ? If you have the space, it makes sense to go with the larger Maggies.The new LRS will definitely need some subs. The larger Maggie would benefit from a sub or two, as well, like the Vandy 2wq, which has the benefit of relieving the amp from the hea... | |
| Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As As you are in the NY area, I would contact Audioconnection for a demo of ProAc. Similar to Vandy's but with a British sound that may be closer to what you are looking for.And, if midrange is your fav, have you thought about electrostatics?To be fa... | |
| Shout out your favorite Audio dealer!! +1 for John Rutan at Audioconnection. I never thought I would want to deal with another dealer after years of lousy experiences with NYC dealers, but Johnny is the real deal.Bob | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Has anyone gotten a Deep Core, yet.Wally emailed me a while back saying they should become available by the end of the month.B | |
| Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1 I'll bite.Like a broken record, I stand with my recommendation of Vandersteen speakers.Ribbon tweeters never worked for me, but 'horses for courses'.-And, I have listened to the Golden Ear. They are nice, but just not my 'cuppa'.Are you buying new... | |
| ADCOM I owned a GFA-555 for 30+ years.I worked as good for all those years until I sold it a year ago.Nelson Pass did a great job on those amps.I have no experience with other Adcom equipment, but suspect it to be equally good.Bob | |
| Auto Room Equalization? I was thinking about it, but decided I wanted my speakers to reflect their sonic 'signature'.I would first address sound issues with room correction.Just my 2 cents...Bob | |
| Just received shipment of my Magnepan LRS’s @gammonit_2000 , Good point. Though I would not rush judgement, as the speakers are breaking in.Though I know some may disagree, I, personally have noticed that speakers really do undergo a degree of change when being run-in when new.I know of ano... | |
| Just received shipment of my Magnepan LRS’s @meiatflask, I believe Atma Sphere is nearby.B | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers Though I never owned one, I would think a Pass Amp would be a nice combo with Wilson.B | |
| SS Amp suggestions Hmm, with those speakers you are going to need some serious power.I, too, am looking at a pair of MBL 111's, never listened to the Duntech, but they look nice.Pass Labs would be my first choice.On a budget, maybe McCormack DNA-1's with SMc Audio u... |
