| Need some Speakers with sensitivity >90db I'd take a look at Zu Audio speakers.Great price and well made. I think the Soul is rated at 97 db.B | |
| Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy! Though I have always lusted for Quad's and Maggie's, I never had the money nor the space. But, I have to second the opinions of jhills and herveman. Newer models have less of the problems, especially impedance-wise, that old models have. If you ar... | |
| Speaker Upgrade If you do go the Vandersteen route, try to buy the most recent iteration. Mr. V. constantly upgrades his speakers, so the most recent will have the best components.That being said, I would opt for the 2ce Signature. Though it will cost more, the c... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. @proacman , Did Johnny have any idea of what may be the problem? He sure knows his stuff.And, I hope you come over to the V side.BTW- why are you Proacman if you own Von Schweikert?Bob | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? @ctsooner ,Thanks for the detailed reply. This is all new to me.Right now, I am using the Ayre Codex with the Bluesound Node, and really can't find fault with it-especially the price.I should probably try using the Codex as a volume control, but I... | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length Oldschool, If I were you, I would put on a set of AQ cables.I tried the Transparent, and spent way too much on having them upgraded to the latest iteration. They were good, but the AQ really seem more alive, and these are a pair of old Rockefeller... | |
| Adona Isolation Platforms @luvrockin ,That sounds very strange, indeed. If a manufacturer behaves that way, I'd stay clear.And, yes, I can understand your skepticism. But, when you think about the physics of motion/vibration, then it sort of makes sense.You can add things,... | |
| Adona Isolation Platforms Well, as you go up the Hifi chain, the more you see the benefits of isolation or equipment.Though I try not to get too anal about these things, I do try to make sure I get things as isolated as I can.Ayre has little myrtle blocks that I use. I als... | |
| Audio Repair in NJ??? Call John Rutan at Audioconnection in Verona. He knows just about every manufacturer and if he can't repair it, he'll know someone who can.B | |
| Do i belong here I think the OP has a Logitech Squeezbox. It's a few year since they made them.If you want an inexpensive DAC, you should look at the Schiit Bifrost Multibit. Though they are made in the US, they are shipping wordwide.Maybe look on Hifi Shark to se... | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question @will62 ,You do know you can get some Banana to spade convertors?I use these when I have to. https://www.amazon.com/CARDAS-Premium-Speaker-Adapter-Connectors/dp/B00SG3Z922Reading you post, I think this is what you are looking for:https://www.amazo... | |
| Would I be crazy to swap B&W 800 series for Klipsch RP series? (804S VS RP-260F) @tomic601 ,The OP will probably get a better price by selling here or US Audio, in my opinion.B | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length @oldschool,Everything you change will make a difference. Whether it is positive change, or worth it monetarily, is the rub.I notice you have a lot of AQ cables. Is there any reason why you are using the Transparent?Bob | |
| Stereo Subwoofer Pairing I hate to hijack the tread, but noble's post has me scratching my head.How do you hook up 3 or more subs to a stereo amp?I have 2 2wq's and stack spades on the amp, but when you go to 3 subs, how do you connect them? Or, are you using a HT amp?Bob | |
| Would I be crazy to swap B&W 800 series for Klipsch RP series? (804S VS RP-260F) Emig, you can get an idea of prices by looking at Hifi Shark's sold listings.As far as speakers, I have heard B&W's and like their sound. The Klipsh are loved by many, though I haven't listened to them since the 70's and they were the huge Cor... |
