| Isn't MCA Dead? Why is TAS touting MQA features in current emails? I hope not. | |
| Active ATC vs Spendor / Pass Labs As a dissatisfied owner of Spendor D9.2's I'd highly recommend you not get a bright or lean sounding amp to drive them. I find the Spendor's over time are too analytical and tipped up in the hi frequency's, they also do not have much midrange tone... | |
| MCD301 or ?? I'd be a little leery of one at or below $2000, only ones i see on hi-fi shark are $4k. | |
| Revox Agora B Interesting find in the used market. Erik, Agreed. | |
| AI and the future of music I've always wondered why people put the same tropes on AI as we have as humans. AI wont have to deal with emotions, greed and desires etc. I'm on the fence weather its actually an issue or not as AI wont be greedy only the humans behind the AI's ... | |
| Revox Agora B Interesting find in the used market. Erik, I don't think this is a active vs passive thing as such. These Speakers are rather rare and special in what they Revox/Studer were trying to do back in the mid 80's. They were trying some interesting tech and configurations. not your typica... | |
| Revox Agora B Interesting find in the used market. after the spark did it still work, or did you unplug it and not try it again? reason i ask is that’s what happened to mine and it was the power socket solder joints, but that said it also could be a component like a capacitor, transistor etc. they... | |
| Revox Agora B Interesting find in the used market. David_sd: I had mine repaired/recapped they are not difficult to work on and all the parts are available or have replacements. the amps come out easily and the diagrams are readily available, i have a set for the Mk1 if you need them i can scan t... | |
| Help chosing an integated amp A late friend had these speakers with Prima Luna tube amps and wow they sounded glorious. I highly recommend you also consider tubes with them. Id really bet a hybrid with tubes in the front end and SS in the output would by wonderful with them a... | |
| Thoughts About Turntable Upgrades check out Acoustic Solid out of Germany. I moved to them after a VPI prime 21 and am very happy with the build quality and sound quality. also $3k less money (for the model i got), better built if i was honest as well. Acoustic Solid – Handmad... | |
| Power Conditioner Architecture. Discuss Differences? -regenerators add distortion to the line. basically an amp for your amp. limited to what that amp can output. They are also current limiting, if that's actually a thing. -isolators add inductance to the power factor. -caps add capacitive loadin... | |
| Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience only complaints i have (A10) with it is the app losses connection and sometimes its hard to regain, specifically after your turn it on. having to search every time for the Aurender is a pain. Also having to use an apple tablet to operate it is a l... | |
| Lii Song/Audio Leoniidas lots of people have their drivers out there now. A friend has the 15" full range driver in some open baffles. they sound really good. | |
| So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why??? I must be the only one that watches YouTube on my TV played through my main system and my DAC. sounds quite good to be honest and some reviewers take the time to record well. most of the stuff I see is 44khz on my DAC. its good if they compare t... | |
| Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers? If its only a temp move I'd recommend used and specifically used A/D/S Speakers they had a few smaller sealed designs that are quite good and well under $1000 ( under $500 really) on the used market. like the L300, L410. As a long time hi end guy ... |
