| Why do my Opera Secondas sound soooo bright????? Fair enough guys....some quite funny replies actually....from the list of the bright speakers I've tried, the original Psb silvers were the brightest sounding but not to the point of being annoyingly bright. My modest system is a Rega Mira integra... | |
| I've reached the beginning of the end - I hope Thanks for all the interesting posts....it is definitely different for everyone. Other pursuits in life, such as family, career, mortgage, and the list goes on and on, can prevent one in finding the elusive audio bliss. However, there is also the ... | |
| One's trash is someone else's treasure guys, i'm just shaking my head right now with a big smile as i'm reading all your replies. it's really funny how a simple, or what i thought was simple anyways, turned out to be quite the controversy. enough is enough i think..let's all move on...... | |
| One's trash is someone else's treasure this is getting blown way out of proportion. if this thread has offended anyone out there, apologies then...it was meant to be a simple thread other good deals people have come across....i'm truly amazed at how this thread has materialized thus fa... | |
| One's trash is someone else's treasure guys, guys...i really didn't think people would be misinterpreting my thread this way. there was a used product for sale at a ridiculously cheap price. i don't know if this fellow just received it from someone, or whatever. bottom line is, i never... | |
| My Dynavector 10x5 sits too low on the record Thanks for the replies so far. I' using a VPI Scout with the JMW 9 arm. The arm tube is parallel to the record surface at playback mode and I've spent some time setting the rest up (azimuth, tracking force, etc, etc). I'm just a little unsure if t... | |
| Athena ASF-2: are these speakers for real??? Thanks for all the input on the above. I finally bought a pair. I'm currently residing in Vancouver now and came across an "open box" pair at Future Shop (sister company to Best Buy) for $299 CAD!! How can I pass up on this excellent deal. My spea... | |
| Vandersteen 2ci: what a pleasant surprise Thanks for the intersting replies....I've also tried the Thiel 1.5's and was quite impressed with them, with their espansive soundstage, pinpoint imaging and clarity. But with the amount of money I paid for these full rangs 2ci's, it's hard to bea... | |
| SFL-1 Signature: how do you know it's a signature? Thanks for all your replies....I've called SF and they've confirmed that it is a Signature series....I'm a happy camper! | |
| Newbie System Question sort of long, sorry Let me answer your second question. I think the weakest link in your current set up is your source (ie: Rotel cd player). Garbage in, garbage out - that's not to say though that your Rotel is garbage. Your integrated and speakers are actually quit... | |
| Kimber 8TC or Alphacore Goertz MI2 Veracity? Like everything else in audio, system matching is essential. I'm a firm beleiver that given the right synergy, everything would sound great. Having said this, I agree with the people who have recommended the Goertz BASED on your sytem and your sys... | |
| HIFi in Vancouver, B.C. There's also A&B Sound beside Hi-Fi Centre in downtown Vancouver. This particular A&B Sound carries hi-end products such as Canada's own SimAudio and Gershwin speakers as well as other brands ie: Joseph Audio, Adcom et al. Then there's Sig... | |
| Warm sounding ss power amps Since you didn't indicate what budget you have, I can suggest to you the following ss amps: McCormack DNA-0.5 or DNA-1.0, Classe CA-10 and Plinius SA-100II. These amps have enough muscle to drive almost any speakers out there and have a warm prese... | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? All the previous postings here talk about getting the spirit of the music, being emotionally connected to the performers, etc.....while I think that all this is true, it really all boils down to personal interpretation...Joe Blow A might think the... | |
| Speakers 500,for Audio Refinement Amp I would get something like a Paradigm Studio 20 or something with a lively balance. Both the Audio Refinement and the MSB dac are laid back in sound....a pair of Totem Mite's could be another choice....good luck |
