| Anybody Listen Voxativ? Bache,I have gone to RMAF for a number of years, and there was a guy in the main lobby area each year using voxativ drivers. He was usually playing piano music at moderate volume. I never heard better reproduction of piano sound. I can’t vouch for... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest and the New York Audio a trend is emmerging I also enjoyed the Sonner speakers paired with the Luxman class A Integrated. | |
| Capitol Audio Fest and the New York Audio a trend is emmerging I went to the 2018 NY show, and am a veteran of many RMAF shows. I find that in almost every instance, the simpler the system, the better it sounds. I’m not talking price, just simplicity. A show setting has way too many variables to try and make ... | |

| Replacement for DeHavilland Ultraverve Hmmm... When I replaced my Bryston BP26 pre with an Ultraverve 3, I noticed virtually no difference in sound. At the time I was using a 4B SST2 amp. I expected the Ultraverve to somehow trounce the Bryston, but it didn’t happen.I say this not to k... | |

| Review of Legacy Focus XD I recently sold my Focus SE (latest iteration), ONLY because I was planning a move to a smaller space. The opportunity presented itself, so I jumped on it.I agree with your sound assessment, and I can only imagine what the flexibility of powered b... | |
| No sound from speakers Is turntable connected to phono input? Is ‘listen’ selector in phono position? If turntable is connected to anything other than phono on the back, you will only get a faint sound. | |
| No sound from speakers Turntable has to be plugged into the phono input on the back, then use ‘phono’ in listen mode. If the turntable is plugged in anywhere else in back, that would also produce a faint sound at best. | |
| No sound from speakers Is it a Cyrus 1? I haven’t a clue as to your knowledge level, but go with simple first. Check, then double check, that the inputs are where you think they are.Then make sure the ‘Listen’ selector knob is choosing the input you want. It sounds like... | |
| My exp. with Focal Sopra No.2 , Harbeth 40.2, Passlabs XA30.5 and Hypex NC400 This post and it’s replies are wide ranging, so I will just stick to this- if you use digital as a source (streaming, cd, etc.), a class A amplifier is the way to go. Hence the OP’s conclusion using the Pass Class A amp...Digital is sliced and dic... | |
| So, I really like my Tukans and I really miss the next lower octaves.. A LOT of newer stand mounted speakers would fit the parameters you are looking for. The Tukans are an especially small speaker, and physics is physics...A Stereophile review of your speaker notes it’s rising midrange response. Since that appeals t... |
