| Speaker Pairing for Sugden A21SE @anton99 I would love to hear Devore stuff. Definitely a level up, at least price-wise. I've not heard those ProAcs but given the markup one pays for foreign gear, especially British, I cannot imagine that model could compete sonically with the Sa... | |
| Speaker Pairing for Sugden A21SE I enjoyed the Carreras a lot as well as the Carbon 7. Also like the Salk SS6M, which, like the Carreras has a Be tweeter that is well implemented and will likely be clear but not bright with that lovely Sugden. | |
| Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt? @teo_audio Thus, nasty responses to a negative post, say more about the poster of the response, than anything else. When I post, I know there is a person on the other end. I am not a monkey. I reread what I intend to post imagining a person ... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole @deludedaudiophile I like your addenda. | |
| How much $$ do bells and whistles add to preamp? The Quicksilver Line Stage is built like a rock, with clean, simple, point to point wiring. It is not expensive but brings amazing value. I upgraded the caps for a few hundred dollars. It can be found used for about $1k. | |
| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated I have an MHDT Orchid, upgraded by Grannyring with good capacitors and resistors. It competed quite admirably with the Holo May DAC at 5x the price. | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole Some interesting elements discussed here: | |
| How do you make a final decision on a DAC I won't mention brands, because you seem to have good options. Here's what you might consider: ask yourself, "What music might I be listening to in the future that I don't listen to now?" and then try out the DAC's with those genres. For exampl... | |
| Looking for an integrated amp to replace my Cayin A-50T I had a good experience with the Atoll amp. Not sure about the sonic signature, but it's very well made. Here's a review which you might learn from: Here it is for $1700, used: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649801092-atoll-in200... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. + @jjss49 + @sns + @ghdprentice + @nonoise @russ69 If something measures so poorly, wouldn’t you want to correlate the measurements with what you hear? Good posts. Here’s how I see it. There are several components involved in judging ho... | |
| GIK alternatives @glennkuras Good luck! I'm so excited about some Qrds and any other diffusion products. (I just can't find the time to build my own Skyline.) | |
| This cable game is making my head spin Various things have changed the sound of my system. Early on, there was a dullness to the system that I thought could be alleviated with cables. Turns out, it was the room. Have you eliminated your room as a factor? If not, then it's probably pre... | |
| hifi stay These racks claim "anti-gravity." I went with my own design and a local builder, and it was below $1300, solid maple. | |
| Question about amplifiers I like your amps a lot. What kind of ML's do you have? | |
| Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make? I made panels for absorption using OC 703 and fabric. Also made some deflection boards -- about 4 ft. x 2 ft. on stands about 1 foot off the ground. Placed near the speakers they direct sound which might bounce off a side wall back around the ro... |
