| Getting into Tube Equipment +2 for the Rogue Cronus Magnum II integrated tub amp. I am driving a pr. of Magnapan 1.7s and it does a beautiful job. It also has a very decent phono stage. Can buy new for under $3,000.00 and sometimes find used for under 2K. Made in the USA and... | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers A while back, I had a chance to audition a host of some very nice, current model, speakers among them was the little Raidho, C-1.2s. At first listen, I was very impressed with their quick, dynamic and micro detailed presentation, but after a half ... | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! @johnk I agree. While it’s someone’s right to spend mega bucks to by gear, without doing their homework, believing that higher bucks always means better sound - as that reasoning becomes the common consensus - it’s inevitable that good companies, ... | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! +1 kahlenzI have had nothing but good experiences with most all of the companies you mentioned. And most have very good products that fall within the reach of an average person's budget...Jim | |

| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? @mofimadnessJust a little teaser: Interesting video. I agree with many here - most expensive doesn't always mean the best, but some of the truly nice stuff out there, both new and vintage, seems to carry a hefty price.+1 for a bigger better room. ... | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? @chayro As much as I love tubes, there is a lot to be said for the convenience, control and command of top notch ss...Jim | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? @philjolet @mofimadness Not familiar with the MBL equipment, so had to google just for a look - WOW - very nice stuff! Definitely beyond my reach right now, but could certainly be on my wish list...Jim | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? +1 erikI can’t think of many speakers over $10k either, that would impress me allot. I would, however, love to hear the new Maggie 30.7s, but they wouldn’t do me much good without a much larger space and the power to drive them. My short list of s... | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers Although not a small book shelf or stand speaker, the Spatial Audio, Hologram M4, open baffle, has all of the attributes of it’s $10,000. big brother - the X2, but is made for a smaller room and would check your every box. Ea. speaker is only abou... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? I found that my trusty old ADCOM sounds quite good and will hold it's own against much more expensive amps, but has to be warmed for several hours before it smooths out and starts sounding good. Since I'm retired, I usually listen to my system off... | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) +1 also for Spatial Audio. I haven't personally auditioned, but have heard and read good things. Considering my love for ribbons and stats, their open baffle design and simplicity peaks some interest...Jim | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) +1 for Gershman Acoustics! Lived with their little Cameleon for several years and liked them allot. A small 2 way floor standing speaker with very good base and a large detailed stage that has a way of making the walls disappear... |
