| Does Anyone Know What is Up with High Fidelity Cables? Well said OP. I tend to lean toward many smaller hifi firms have a tough time with having enough working capital. Ive noticed with some of my vendors that supply chain and covid have become the excuse du jour. I’ve explained to more than a few tha... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA @charles1dad the Merason is VERY good. Very good. Worth a listen as I can’t promise it isn’t system dependent but I have listened extensively to the Merason through an Audio Note OTO SE Signature, a Leben, two Shindo systems and it just slays…it h... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA Thanks @charles1dad as Ive stated a few times on this forum, we prefer our audio systems to live with us rather than the inverse. The system to which you refer is just that….unlike some on Audiogon, our systems aren’t intended to evoke wow comment... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA @mozartfan which flavor of ice cream does your tech tell you to eat? The 300b in the right circuit, just like the 2a3, can be exceptional…but not all of them. Full range drivers can sound exceptional…but not all of them. This is from a happy 300b,... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA @mozartfan its cool you are enjoying your purchase but how do you know what is best bang for the buck? Eroding credibility? | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA A couple of quick observations but first, congratulations on your health and congratulations on finding what you were looking for. I have a pair of single driver, set driven full range speakers and they are extraordinary. So, I agree with you ... | |
| Has anyone heard the new Eric Alexander signature speakers the matrix LS? I can attest that Ray is a great Audiogon member. Not that my endorsement means anything but I've done business with Ray and he is a gentleman's gentleman. No shillage.... | |

| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? ANY speaker review, measurements or not, is just a nudge in the event you are shopping and wish to demo something. Its ok to buy gear without hearing it, however, I believe strongly that the purchaser should never whine about it working or not wor... | |
| HiFi vs MidFi @mozartfan The three levels of "fi" you list is sheer genius. (just an elbow in the ribs for some holiday fun). Peace to all. | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? Yeah, cars were cheap then….and not entirely reliable….nor safe….nor environmentally friendly. I had a 1968 Plymouth GTX with a 440 six pack in high school. It was stupidly fast, got about 7mpg if you kept your foot out of it and those drum brakes... | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? @nitrobob #19 on your list....a Cossie? | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? Ok, so if price is the same, I try to balance best sound quality with aesthetics and in a tie, the easiest speaker to position and move will win. We all know though that all things will never be equal. Ugly wont cut it in our home, impossible to m... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? Would it be unfair to equate the ASR meausrement crowd with Covid? Some people love that it exists and enjoy talking about it while others get mad at its very existence. Me, it doesnt much matter to me…I am vaccinated against Amir’s dastardly meas... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? I hear you…ill just lurk, post when the mood strikes, make fun of the absurd from time to time and generally expercise moderation in all I am able lol. |
