| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. Hmmm, appointments, limited hours and probably limited selections? Why not just join an audio club with enthusiastic members with diverse equipment that would be glad to share their experiences and knowledge with you? The audio industry is in sa... | |
| For SACD fans only So you can go the Esoteric route, Luxman new player route (05, 07 at some point) or the new PS audio transport and new DAC sometime in the 2nd quarter of 2022. I am in the same boat and will be upgrading from my Modwright Marantz fully modded pla... | |
| Buying the right tool (aka gear) the first time... Many excellent and useful responses. I bought my first system in the mid 70's so I have been doing this for a few years. I have changed speakers five times since then. Analog source has changed twice and digital 6 times. My electronics (amp an... | |
| Cable Management Tips and Tricks I use light weight styrofoam to separate my interconnects from my power chords. | |
| For SACD fans only Luxman will be coming out with their 05 and 07 SACD players but I don't know the dates. | |
| Zavfino I received three power chords yesterday. The packaging is 100%, the same as my speaker cables. The first few hours of break in was as expected. Grainy and rough in the upper frequencies. With just minimal hours on them, they are starting to s... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers The greatest improvement for me was Podiums under the speakers. I then placed the pods under my tube pre amp replacing the HRS footers. Speakers first in my opinion. | |
| Any Vienna acoustics love out there? Anyone even still using them? @big_greg I had the same reaction to the other models in the VA line up until I heard the Liszt. It's encouraging if they have made some design changes because I felt they were OK, but kind or boring. | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? @larryi you are correct. Start with an untreated room and set up the speakers properly. I have used several different methods, but the one that has worked best for me is the Wilson Audio set up guide using your actual voice to determine the prefer... | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? Do you really think people are going to spend that kind of money on room treatments when they balk at spending 10K on a whole system? | |
| Zavfino @jayctoy I have the audio art pc's. They were the version before they revised their lineup. They were called the statement with the Furutech F1-28 plugs. They were in the $400 range and compared very well to a higher priced ($1,000) PC. I am ... | |
| Any Vienna acoustics love out there? Anyone even still using them? I have the VA Liszt. I find that they have an organic sound that is detailed but if you are looking for a highly resolving speaker, this isn't it. I listened to about 10 different speakers before I settled on these. They are very "musical" espe... | |
| Need help buying new speaker cable thyname, I own their nova occ speaker cable. I find it very open, accurate (in a good way) with a nice soundstage. Wig and others were kind enough to recommend them as well as their power cords. I think they are a sleeper and a real value. I h... | |
