| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers I can see only one real advantage - you eliminate speaker cables from the chain. As for the best match for particular speakers - there is always a better match, including custom or customized amps. And it is hard if not completely impossible to de... | |
| Tchernov cables. Anyone knows anything about them? Reference MK II is still in my system, I think I like it even more than before. But I put Classic MK II for sale on ebay, don't really need it.I could add that the Reference probably has even more superior shielding than Purist Neptune. | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers Cost and effort saving solution for pro applications. | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers Why would any audiophile want to have power amps 'glued' to speakers ? First, you are stuck with those amps, and second they will vibrate like hell. Who makes amps for ATC, by the way ? | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. nyev, you are absolutely right. However, I am also about to start saving on Studer or Otari open reel tape deck and better phono stage. Which one will come first ? I don't know, we'll see.Good for me that I already have Purist Neptune interconnec... | |
| why so many gryphon diablo 300 integrated for sale now? Yeah. People sell for various reasons. As for why no one buys so far, well, they are still very expensive or unreachable for many. Can you do SS separates for $10k that would outperform Diablo 300 ? I am not at all sure unless the equipment is qui... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Yeah, I prioritize too, and my current yearly audiophile budget is $1200-$1500, not including records, and I no longer buy cds. This is not very little, though it won't get you new Diablo 300. There is, however previous generation Diablo 250 for s... | |
| HP or Dell for computer listening ? Thank you all. I will most likely get Dell and hope that I'll get lucky with it for the next three years. I wouldn't count on more. | |
| Purist Audio Design in One word Excellent decision. Give them at least 250 hours of burn-in time, pay little attention to how they sound before that unless you are curious. | |
| Reel to reel That's the problem, when you hear something which is much better it is hard to go back to your usual sound.It is the biggest reason why I listen to computer with headphones only. Computer cannot compete with my all analog main system. Well, if you... | |
| Purist Audio Design in One word My partly educated guess would be that in the current Luminist Revision line Aqueous would be the best value. I haven't heard it yet but that's my impression after talking to those in the know. Neptune is great, I have RCA interconnects. My only m... | |
| HP or Dell for computer listening ? I mostly listen to youtube, sound quality is never great there and can at times be just terrible. I have never used outboard dac/headphone with computers before, but now that I got much better headphones, I would like to improve it further, that's... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Yeah, why not ? There is one for sale here for $11.5k, without phono or dac, though.You have Audioquest usb cable and Audioquest power cord, perhaps it might make sense to try Audioquest speaker cables too. Just a thought. My set-up is very differ... | |
| Ugrade-itis - is there a cure? I will put other arguments aside, and I do have them, one point, I think, is that none or almost none of us has a truly reference system. It is not that it only exists as an elusive hypothetical ideal, there are real reference level set-ups. But w... | |
| Purist Audio Design in One word Never heard Musaeus, should be good, at least newer revisions.Don't buy Maximus - it has low resolution and is too forward sounding. I think, the best value is Colossus fluid, any revision beginning with the original. Very difficult to find. Don't... |
