| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K $15K is a good budget to work with. Are you open to considering a distributed bass array? Regardless of which speakers you settle on (and I do look forward to learning your choice) a DBA will take you places you’ve never been with your system/so... | |
| Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension @chauncey FWIW: I did a cable shoot out with the AQ Firebird HC, Shunyata Sigma V2 NR, Synergistic Euphoria HC L3…, and RSX Beyond PC. I know the Dragon sits above the Firebird and it has a lot of fans. But it was beyond my price range. So, take... | |
| Volume levels @bigtwin I agree for the most part. Listening at the right level is definitely the best approach. As my system has improved, my ability to hit that level and not be fatigued at all has been one of the greatest achievements I’ve had in this hobby... | |
| Akiko Audio @antigrunge2 Thank you for your shout out. I’ve been considering the Akiko Corelli for some time, pending funds. In that time, I’ve also been wondering about the Less Loss BlackGround 10x Power Base. They seem to be similar but at different pric... | |
| Cost Incurred to Achieve a Vinyl LP Replay If you define ancillaries as everything but the source (and source = table, arm and cart) then…for me it’s about 40/60. For a long time, I had a much nicer source than my ancillaries. The source was proportionally worth a lot more than everything... | |
| Passive preamps - differences between technologies I have the EMIA Remote Autoformer (Sliver). It's incredible in my system. | |
| Distributed Bass Array Speaker Placement I have a DBA from James Romeyn, which is based on the Audiokinesis Swarm system. Basically, you can do it (it’s a free country) but it will not be optimized. Since you have the four subs I highly recommend you find a way to do it right. You will ... | |
| Two questions to make you mad. Good questions. And I’m hardly even fuming… ;-) 1. We need good cables because they make a difference. Anyone that is skeptical of this should try and small number of different cables and see which they prefer. Viola, you’ll know there’s differen... | |
| New Pass Labs Go To Mark is one of the good guys in all of audio. And certainly Nelson Pass, Kent and crew are too. Makes sense that they worked so well together. Enjoy the music, Mark! | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @randyk Thank you! How cool is it that you could easily upgrade to the Mk II? Here’s to Estonian innovation! | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II I had the KLAudio for several years. At the beginning of the year, I made a switch to the Degritter Mk II. For me, it’s no contest. The Degritter is better at cleaning. Period. I think this is because you can use a cleaning agent with it, wherea... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? Congratulations! It's always better to scratch that itch especially if you're able to! They look super cool. And I'm sure they sound just like you imagined they would, if not even better. Enjoy them. | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? Thank you @ghdprentice @lalitk and @kota1 It was a long, windy road. And the OP got me thinking that I had no excuse not to post, especially if I'm going to chime in with my opinion on stuff. Of course it's never really "done"... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? Thank you @vonhelmholtz and @mahgister - most appreciated coming from you | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? I finally posted my system. |
