| Wilson Audio Sophia 2 or Goldenear Triton 1 I have listened to the Golden Ears and the Wilson Sabrina. The Wilson's were hands-down better in my opinion. (I haven't heard the Sophias, but I would buy a pair if the price was right).As mlsstl said, opinions are a dime a dozen, so YMMV. If you... | |
| Holiday Today Finally got it.Guess I'm a bit too old fer you yungters with all yer dang silly talk....B | |
| Buying Without Audition I guess I am ’old school’ now.The internet has opened things up for audiophiles. ’Back in the olden’ days’, you had to visit shops and spend hours listening (which was fun), now you can review the experiences of others and make an educated guess w... | |

| UPS and FedEx freight shipping reliable? For what it is worth, I haven't had any bad experiences with either UPS or Fedex, even USPS.If you do pack the item, pack it well. I was told by SMc, to account for a 5 foot drop, should the shipping container be empty. With that said, pack your i... | |
| Unconventional speaker setups Ahh, finally a thread where everyone agrees... | |
| Power Cord Length As a relative newcomer, I may be out of line, but I really hate it when the original question gets lost and rancor and animosity lead us down the slippery slope to nowhere.Either agree to disagree or just let it go....Please. | |
| Power Cord Length dbtom2- not bad...Hopefully, almarg will post on this. He usually has the ability to answer these questions with scientific acumen.In my humble opinion, I would use a power cord that is long enough to reach the outlet and component, yet provide en... | |
| Buying Without Audition Great post ejr, I agree.That is why I think the OP should try to visit a high end salon or two, in order to get a feel for what he likes. Reviews and praises from others only go so far when it comes to speakers. | |
| Unconventional speaker setups tboooe, isn't that the fun part of this hobby?In my opinion, even if you do get a dedicated music room, you'll still be tweaking! | |
| New amp for Vandersteen 2CE I just got a Schiit Bifrost Multibit for my PC, and am very impressed with it.-Especially, the price-about $600 bucks. They also have a return period.I also use the McCormack DAC-1 and recommend it highly. | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Thanks Almarg, your recommendations are always appreciated.Power in NYS is pretty stable, so there is less difference than folks on the West Coast where I have been told line voltage varies considerably during the day (actually, it was told to me ... | |
| Unconventional speaker setups For my room, placement options are limited- it is a living space and not a sound room. So, I put my speakers in a very non traditional placement (actually, in the middle of two connected rooms). Sound and imaging is not bad. Could it be better? Su... | |
| Buying Without Audition Though I gave you advice to seek out a dealer earlier, I realized later that I didn't take my own advice recently.On a whim, and with some persuasion from another Agoner, I bought a pair of Zu speakers, based only on word of mouth. As others have ... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Okay, I switched the fuse direction today and am listening. Details at 11...My bugaboo:IF fuses are directional, AND manufacturers know this, Then, Why can't they tell us which way to orient the fuse for most musical reproduction? As I said earlie... |
