| what is the groups opinion on VooDoo vs. Wireworld silver vs. Matthew Bond speaker cable? OP, I suspect that there is very limited experience for speaker cables from your chosen brands. I know that Voodoo makes great PCs, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to SCs. Wireworld ic comparisons come up, but don’t recall any SC reviews. | |
| Monster Speaker Cables Monster Cables are fine for box store components, but for high-end audio there are much better sonic affordable cable choices like Audio Envy. | |
| Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound I find it very odd that the OP is comparing 2 dissimilar speaker designs- bookshelf vs floorstanders, timing+ridgidness vs musical. Seems like a curiously vs actually interested in purchasing. The Fleetwood Sevilles have already been deeply revie... | |
| Mobile Fidelity - SourcePoint 10 Bookshelf impressions? I’ve heard both the SourcePoint 10 and 8 at audio shows and they sounded great. Seemed transparent and easy to drive. Many positive reviews. I’m a big fan of speaker designer guru Andrew Jones who has an impressive resume. I don’t need, but I’m... | |
| Supertweeters Work I’m researching adding subwoofer support for my floorstanders. If the curiosity itch hits, I may try ENIGMAcOUSTICS Sopranino to fill in the top end. | |
| Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's I believe IsoAcoustics Gaia is a top choice, but Townsend is better- maybe the best- that’s what I intend to purchase | |
| Has buying and/or selling audio gear changed? I try not to be dishonest for monetary gain or to avoid monetary loss. | |
| Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore! retail stores where I could hear and compare equipment You can attend audio shows. I've attended RMAF, T.H.E. Show, Pacific Audio Fest, and AXPONA where I auditioned then purchased demoed speakers. | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? Off- If it’s pointless merry-go-round On- if I’m open to possible future well thought of upgrades | |
| I am looking to upgrade - looking for advice @tjraubacher It’s difficult to make suggestions without a budget and your future plans for upgrading. Separate preamp and amp offers upgrade flexibility, but an integrated offers better value - saving $ on casework and additional cable. | |
| Martin Logan vs. Everything If the OP loves his ML, that’s fantastic. Easier on his wallet. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system @skyscraper I optimized my analog chain - VPI Avenger, VDH Grail SB (a used sonic bargain), Kuzma 4point (great price/performace, many rave reviews), Schroeder CB-L, and a few top carts. But trying to get digital to a high level seemed financia... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system @skyscraper Guess I’ll touch on cables as researching that can be very daunting. For interconnects, I choose Siltech Classic mostly from this review here where the reviewer seem surprised at how good they sounded and that they were extremely t... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Not to mention when I carried my heavy Luxman amp and Magico A3’s up a flight of stairs to my listening room a couple years ago it was a near death experience. @skyscraper With spinal generation my heavy lifting days are over. I’m now fightin... | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? It’s a hobby, not a commitment. People come and go as they please. Most on this forum are knowledgeable and helpful, but yes there are some who seem to be touchy, argumentative, narrow minded (their truth is universal), and directly angered at sp... |
