| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Sold the dinan s2 for an audi r8 v10 and am super happy! | |
| Can we get close to contemporary? Well thanks for replying though. This post (iphone) was a serious issue for me and posed repeated problems. I am surprised there are no other requests or comments since this is my biggest issue here in last 30 months back in the hobby and on this ... | |
| why no recent Merlin speaker reviews? So many valid reasons... | |
| Can we get close to contemporary? thanks. I enjoy your posts. I sometimes enjoy those of members I do not like. I would not say "hate" You do not buy or sell a lot though you are active and valued by all on forums. There are some serious and repeated deadbeats and d*bags on the bu... | |
| Heaven or Hell There is undoubtedly truth in all the replies. I have personally seen tremendous differences in how engaging music was that were ultimately attributable to variations in power quality... so I suppose I must throw my offering to the stereo gods int... | |

| Pet audiophile peeves - name yours Haha some very nice replies that already covered mine - go Newbie, Chadnliz, and Pawlowski6132! | |
| Which amp to drive Avalon Diamonds? The VAC should be holographic and extremely well-balanced on the Eidolon Diamonds I imagine - and would be my personal first choice by far. Having spent a good bit of time listening with the PHI220s on them I have to imagine the 300.1 would be ama... | |
| For those who "sold" Dynaudio Evidence speakers Keep in mind the comparisons IMO. MAXX, Avalon and Kharma throw HUGE soundstages. Avalon has a more distant hall perspective than the others - Kharma in particular throws larger-than-life vibrant images. Temptations are very strong in some of the ... | |
| Amp for Apogee Stage's Tubes are a must for the mids and highs, but the impedence is such a killer on them that I see the dilemma. I had heard them paired well with Llano hybrids, the counterpoint np hybrid amps etc. A tube pre will help further. From more recent gear, ... | |
| What's the better, High Powered SS Amp? Need a bit more system information, but given your priorities I would recommend Boulder's current offerings and the Classe Omega. Neither is fatiguing for SS and both have the characteristics you described. Good luck! | |
| If Audio bug never hit you, what hobby might have? Cool to see how many here share one of my other hobbies - cars! Like audio, we all seem to have our perspective on the other hobby too... I like working to tweak them, particularly on hanndling and low-end acceleration. Have 3 and looking to add a... | |
| Should I try to upgrade or scrap it all I would suggest looking at Audio Note DACs - incredibly musical, tube, and up-to-date performance. Should be a remarkable step up for not a lot of cash (depending on model selected)... | |
| Best equip stands The GP Monaco and The Rack of Silence both made a difference in my systems for what that's worth...NBS makes an exceptional power system that is not current limiting. Whether you should consider that or one of the others like balanced probably dep... | |
| Newbi seeking advise - why tubed pre-amp? Just listen to an AN DAC. I used to think that digital sources shouldn't be tubed too - and I love tubes - but AN changed my mind... |
