| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Not to sound rude, but why didn't you get some tubes from Ralph?I only got into this recently, so I don't know much regarding tubes.Are the Russian and Chinese tubes better? I have read about tube rolling and would like to learn more.B | |
| Streaming Tidal through Bluesound Node 2 vs Oppo 105D I just got a Schiit Gungnir and was impressed-It certainly beat out my Modi and Bifrost. Unfortunately, I heard an Ayre Codex, and had to have one. It should be here next week. I hope to compare the two.B | |
| D'Agostino vs. Ayre I have Vandies hooked up to Atma MA-1 and MP-3 and couldn't be happier. Perhaps it is the Zero feedback? Johnny R at Audioconnection seems to think so...B | |
| A speaker that looks like a driver or a driver that looks like a speaker? @douglas_schroeder , that is an interesting design. Do you need 2 or is it just one guitar speaker? and, how do you mount it?Bob | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? +1 chargerfan.CT, did you get out to Audioconnection? Also, what speaker cables are you going to use with the Quatro's?Bob | |
| ProAc comparison I only listened to the floor standers recently and was wowed. Any chance you could fit those in your listening room/budget?B | |
| Anthem Statement P5 amp and Golden Ear Triton One speakers I know many people adore the Golden Ear, but in my experience I felt I could do better.If you can, go to a dealer (and there seems to be a lot) and listen to them and judge for yourself before you make a purchase. Unfortunately, I have no experien... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup FWIW-I connected Atma-Sphere MA1 v3.3 and MP-3 to a pair of Zu Union’s and was favorably impressed. I also had them connected to a pair of Vandersteen 2W subs using the M5-HP crossovers.The Unions were upgraded with ClarityCaps last year, too.B | |
| subwoofer to speaker connection Why not try out what you have and see if it makes a difference before you make your next move? | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? CT, from what I heard from Pat at McCormack, the Western states seem to have more problems with voltage fluctuations than we do on the East coast.How much longer till you get your speakers and amp back?Bob | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k Definitely a great start.Bob | |
| break in I will admit to being skeptical of the 'break in' belief, but I can say that it is true.Everything from speakers to cables to high pass filters changed from the time I connected them.I will also say that each time I noticed a change, it was for th... | |
| subwoofer to speaker connection If you can use them as monoblocks, then yes, it would be an upgrade.Possibly less so if you want to drive upper and lower frequencies separately.One of the best things about monoblocks is that you can put the amps close to the speakers. Thus, usin... | |
| Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]? @OP,I know how you feel, but it is good to listen to speakers out of your price range. That way you will know what can be accomplished in a 'perfect world'. Take that knowledge and find a speaker in your price range that accomplishes the task most... | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k I am glad you went with the Vandies.(Being a Vandy Fanboy), and glad you met with Johnny. He is a great dealer and human being.The Belles is great. I am surprised he didn't connect the Ayre amps.I know you are on a budget, but if you can score a B... |
