| 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... | |
| Why a separate DAC? DAC's are evolving quickly. I would say that if you can output your CD player to an external DAC, do so.Two companies are my favorites, since they offer upgrades- Ayre and Schiit.The latter offers the Gungnir and the Yggy, which I think compare ni... | |
| Used Pre under $8K with lowest nosie floor(?) If you buy used, you can get an Ayre KX-R (non twenty).I just got one and even though it is only a few hours running, I can say it is unbelievably quiet.For tubes, an Atma-Sphere MP-1 or 3 used should come in around $8K.In fact, I will probably ge... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? @abd1 and others,I am still waiting for the Deep Cores, which should be coming soon, according to Underwood Wally.My CPT 1800's are still working properly, so I can't complain about that, but having to wait so long for the Deep Cores is a bit off ... | |
| BookShelf or Floor Standing Speakers @akg_ca , +1@OP,Going to floor standers will require more space for positioning.Is that something you have?The best part of a floorstander is the additional cabinet volume that will enhanced lower frequency reproduction (among other things).As akg... | |
| Opinion. Acoustic Zen Adagio vs Vandersteen 2’s I haven't heard the Adagio's, so I can't comment on them, but if you are considering Vandy's, I would suggest going to the newer models like the Treo or Quatro.Yes, a bit more money, but I feel they are a considerable upgrade to the 2 and 3's.I ow... | |
| Just purchased a pair of Atma Sphere M-60 Mk 3's upgraded to 3.3's @brownsfan .I can't say I have ever experience 'glare' with my MA-1's using the Chinese Tubes that Ralph supplied.What speakers and preamp are you using.Bob |
