| What is the deal with the ART DIO I just had to send my Tact 2.2X back to the factory for repair. I was using the internal 24/192 DAC. When used with the internal room correction system and volume control, I don't think there is a better DAC out there. So I dug my ART DI/O out of ... | |
| KR Enterprise Amps, "Do they have the power" I no longer have the amp. It's been so long ago that I owned one, I can't even remember what speakers I had at the time. The VT6000 does have power. If you're using a dynamic driver speaker, you should have no problem. The tubes of the amp I had m... | |
| When it's to good to be true? I met with a Spanish Federal Police Sergeant 2 weeks ago. He was touring in this country, and used his International Association of Chiefs of Police contacts to visit different Police Departments. He had some interesting things to say about people... | |
| Review : PS Audio HCA 2 amplifier Thanks for the comprehensive review. I appreciate your honest and upfront feedback. That's the value of these threads. If you want an "everything sounds good" review, read Sam Tellig's columns.I had also noticed a lot of them for sale, and some hi... | |
| KR Enterprise Amps, "Do they have the power" I owned the KR VT6000 for awhile. It has a lot of power, enough to drive about anything. Bass is what the KR amps do best. But don't expect a typical tube sound from the "vacuum transducer". The VT6000 can be a little hard and sterile sounding in ... | |
| Vandersteen Mod 5 vs Coincident Tech Total Eclipse I haven't heard the Vandersteen Model 5s. I've have owned the 3s and the 2CEs. I now own the Total Eclipse. I can agree with the above comment about room placement to a degree. They are not hard to place, but need to be out into the room about 3 f... | |
| Any negative comments on Polycrystal products? When I picked up the box with one of the Polycrystal shelves in it, it broke through the bottom of the box, landing on my toe. Needless to say, my toe was no match for the shelf, and it broke. Good thing I had this nice stand to listen to music wh... | |
| anybody know a true dual mono passive preamp? The Silver Rock from Audio Consulting is the best pre-amp made IMHO. It is true dual mono with separate volume controls for each channel. Runs about $3200., though. A cheaper but still good alternative would be the Antique Sound Labs passive. Also... | |
| Anyone tried the Audio Magic Stealth ? The cost for the Matrix hasn't been decided yet. It's still in development. It will be their best conditioner, so I'm sure it will exceed the $3500. price of the current top-of-the-line. | |
| Okay, now I think I've seen it all... Haven't they got the wrong idea, here? Raising the speaker to a different height might affect the sound quality of the monitor by exposing the drivers to an increased atmospheric pressure, thereby altering the waveform and dispersion characteristi... | |
| Change needed at Audiogon I accept it, but no need to apologize. I read your previous post, and just mentioned it for fun. Didn't mean to rub it in. | |
| Change needed at Audiogon I too have been frustrated by non-member inquiries, but I also have sold some things to non-members. I have had members ask questions that are already answered in the ad, so I don't think closing the site to non-members is a solution, unless you w... | |
| Anyone tried the Audio Magic Stealth ? I had PS Audio Power Plants (600 and 300) in my system. I then tried the CFX, and was amazed at how much better it was than the Power Plants. The Power Plants sounded muffled and constricted. I then compared the CFX to the Stealth, and the Stealth... | |
| Something looks weird about this auctions? The guys from Spain now have a website. www.variusss.com. They now require a Moneygram wire transfer because of new restrictions imposed by Western Union. | |
| Your thoughts on J. Atkinsons Chord DAC review...? Everything is in the way you say it. Using the term "bloated bass" sounds much more drastic than saying that the bass was a "little soft", or "not as tight as", etc. I haven't heard the Chord and can't say whether this is accurate or not, but he u... |
