| Who has heard and can comment on any of these brands?? I had the Audio Physics Tempo Plus speakers for a little while. They were fun speakers but I found them to be colored compared with Bache speakers. I had listened to the Audio Physics Avanti which I thought had a more refined midrange and tighter ... | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? Totem Element Fire V2. Read the latest TAS review. | |
| Power cable for Bryston I use a Triode Wire Labs Digital American power cord with my BCD-3. Much better midrange and high’s over the stock cable. | |
| Looking for a preamp with XLR connections I second the Jeff Rowland Capri S2 recommendation. Forget about ASR. | |
| D’Agostino Progression integrated I agree about the Pass int. I bought a Rowland Continuum S2 and love it. I have not heard the others. | |
| 3k Phono preamp upgrade options (JC3+, XP-17, etc) It's too bad the Herron is discontinued. I had a JC3+. I prefer my Herron much more, especially that I can use it without any loading. | |
| Pass XP27 vs. Rowland Conductor Phono I’m breaking in the HP phono stage in my Rowland Continuum s2 integrated amp right now. I never heard the Pass phono stage but did have a couple of Pass amps in my system in the last few years. As far as amps go, I prefer the Rowland sound over Pa... | |
| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music Take a look at Bache Audio. I have had Quad ESLs and even Shahinian speakers, which are tailor made for classical music. I prefer my Bache Tribeca’s for both Blue Note jazz and Mahler symphonies. | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? @runwell Yes it is a class D amp. I’m very impressed so far. I was never fond of class D in the past. | |
| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers I agree with twoleftears. Go visit Bache. | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? For the past week I have been using a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 in my system. It's still breaking in but so far I am very pleased with it. My tube separates are an Emotive Audio Epifania preamp and Vita mono blocks. I love them but the amps are ju... | |
| Speaker Suggestions My suggestion would be to contact Greg Belman from Bache Audio and arrange a demo. I have been living with the Tribeca’s for just over 2 years and I’m enjoying my music more than ever. It’s a big, holographic, smooth sound that’s very coherent and... | |
| New Herron VTPH 2A versus used Audio Research Reference 2 Phono Yes the Herron is no longer made, which is a shame because it’s a fantastic phono stage. | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? Harbeths are too colored for my taste. I agree. I demoed the M30.2’s a few times. Not for me. There’s a Youtube video where GR Research takes apart the small Harbeths. I couldn’t believe the crossover for a 2 way. It’s is made up of about 30 c... | |
| "Transferred from original analogue master tapes" I believe that it needs to say cut from the original master tapes to be all analog. Anything else could mean a digital transfer from the tape. |
