| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? +1 on the Vinnie Rossi LIO (w/ DHT stage). I’ve owned Ayon Triton, Triton II, Accuphase E-560 and demoed the Luxman 590-AXii, as well as owned separates from Modwright and Herron.The LIO was juuust right. As versatile as it gets and w/ the ultra-c... | |
| Speaker Placement CD If you are unsure where to start at all, besides the 4ft apart recommendation, maybe start with some cardas or other ratio math placement based on your room dimensions. Then implement the CD. | |
| Advice please on up to $10k to upgrade pre amp, dac, phono, and power amp Definitely look into the Vinnie Rossi LIO super integrated, w/ DHT stage, DAC2.0 and phono module and you’d be set! It is a truly fantastic sounding piece of gear w/ ‘off the grid’ power from internal ultracapasitor power banks. There is tons of p... | |
| Equi=core 1200 OR Equi=tech 1R OR Isotek EVO3 Aquarius SQ = sound quality, right? | |
| Best Footers for DAC? Today I tried four ISO PUCKs under my PS Audio PWT Transport. Quite amazing really. My system is isolated with Daedalus Isolation Devices (DiD’s) and Herbies Tinderfoot. I’ve also tried stillpoints a few years ago and didn’t like them under anythi... | |
| Accuphase E-470 or Luxman 590ax II ? The Luxman can be a lil to warm with the wrong cables. But I agree that it is less colored than Accuphase... I demoed the 590 and liked it a lot. Very easy to listen to on all sorts of music, audiophile recordings all the way down to crudy recordi... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening @steventoney So you are in WA.? You may wan to look up Chapman Audio. Stuart Chapman Jones and family are on Vashon Island, in the sound, and have been making top notch speakers for decades. He is very friendly and will have you for a visit in the... | |
| Are the folks at Vandersteen ok? I met RV about 5 years ago, at a local audio event demoing these huge 750w SimAudio amps on the Model 7's. He had flown himself into town for something else, so just happened to be able to be there. I was chatting with him after the demo, but I wa... | |
| Man this is frustrating Duelund tinned-copper wire (DCA16GA or DCA20GA) with Switchcraft conectors, from Parts Connexion. If you don't DIY, they will construct them for you for a fee and they are still very affordable. As in like $150... search em here or at Jeff's Place... | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K The Poseidon is above them all....for now... Wait till RMAF. I’m not sure but there may be a statement speaker showing... but Lou actually considers most of his speakers on the same 'level', just built for different applications\different sized ro... | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K @blindjim I believe Daedalus has been mentioned to you already...but I thought I'd add that I own a pair of Argos. Incredible speakers. | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Also, to possibly answer you build query, blindjim, about the Gibbons, there is a vid on YouTube somewhere with John D talking about the cabinet structure... Sorry for no links :( | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Scot Hull of Part-Time Audiophile has just (and finally) released a short review of the Gibbon X... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Matt, long time reader, first time poster (I think... actually maybe I have posted in this thread once already?).So glad to hear you love the Wells Audio Innamorata. They truly are good aren't they? I own the Innamorata Signature. It's twice th... | |
| Is Classe AUdio no longer??? Reads more like a "soft closure" to me... A way of letting dealers know that there will be no new product lines forthcoming from Classe` and they will also not be producing anymore 'stock' on existing models BUT they don't what to scare dealers in... |
