| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria I am going to suggest ATC SCM40’s. Neutral, not bright, but quite revealing. Bonus is that all of the ATC “entry level” speakers are easy to set up, with no port that increases room interactions. | |
| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? ++2 Cary SLP05 ultimate upgrade. I bought mine used for $4350. It’s da bomb! | |
| Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make? I built a GAS Ampzilla as an 18 year old. Taught me more about analogue electronics than any college course. After two rebuilds, still have it and it sounds great. And the cool meters still work! | |
| Anyone heard the new Schiit Tyr? Thanks for the tip! | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression I bought a Cary SLP-05 with ultimate upgrade used last summer. I have the older version with the indents for the feet, and used the units stacked. It really is an awesome preamp, with the rounded tone so notable with the 6NS7 tubes. I am running ... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? Well, I am an audiophile with lots of experience (I am 65, bought my first pair of Advents in 1972 and started listening to state of the art equipment shortly thereafter, building a GAS Ampzilla in 1975, pairing it at the time with a Marantz Model... | |
| I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls.... +1 for the Schiit Loki. I have the original, and using it slightly foreshortened the sense of depth, but otherwise it had little detriment effect to the sound. Like others have suggested, I did switch my preamplifier- from an old Audio Research S... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing I don’t understand Amir’s argument. I have huge experience listening, and I have a good idea about the perceptive ability to hear things, as I was an audio salesman for awhile. I hear differences in my system immediately after putting a new piec... | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? My ATC's sound GREAT in my house! I did pick the SCM35's over the 20's when I bought them, thinking they presented a richer, more lifelike presentation with equally good imaging. | |
| Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality. I WAS a vinyl guy. understand you want a one box solution, but I would suggest keeping them separate, just as you may want to upgrade a phono cartridge Aurender N100H + Schiit Yggdrasil works extremely well for me, at a $5K cost including cable... | |
| I need help regarding tube phono preamplifiers The Hegel V10 is not tubed, but it’s warm sounding and detailed. Used with a tube line preamp (Cary SLP05) the combination has that tube “magic” yet is detailed with a focused soundstage. | |
| Experiment, Experiment; What have been your most successful finds? A really good wood shelve rack with vibration control points and thick 2 inch shelves. What a difference…still points under sources, much more effect than anticipated | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! I had double Advents that I drove with a modded Marantz7C and a kit-built Ampzilla. Stack that up against 901’s driven by anything! | |
| Need speaker recommendations. Including in the million dollar ranges (to finish my post) | |
| Need speaker recommendations. +1 on the ATC SCM40 I have owned the ATC SCM35 floorstanders for 18 years. The great thing about sealed cabinets is that they are very easy to set up n any room. The lack of the port interacting with the room really simplifies setup. I have mine ... |
