| Buying Used Speakers @cubbiesman I've been buying and selling used speakers and all things high end audio on Audiogon for over 20 years with very positive results. Now, there's several on-line outlets where used high end audio can be bought and sold. I couldn't aff... | |
| Incredible Audioquest Firebird Source Power Cables & Thunderbird Interconnects!!! @audphile1 Yes!!! The upgrade from AQ Hurricane HC to AQ Firebird Source, on my DAC, was quite a revelation. I still have one AQ Hurricane HC cable in my system, which is plugged in from the wall outlet to my AQ Niagara 3000 power conditioner, an... | |
| Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood? Revel Salon 2 speakers are just incredible and I'm sure they can be purchased on the used market for around 10K. | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits Why.......of course, they’re counterfeit cables. There’s a gentleman of youtube who has acquired several of the fake, Chinese made cables, which are sold on-line on AliExpress, and proceeds to dissect them in order to demonstrate and confirm their... | |
| Vivid Audio Moya 1 loudspeakers. Yes!!! I've heard various Vivid models at an high end audio dealership in SF, and I thought they were some of the very best sounding speakers I'd ever heard. | |
| Seek advice on forums but always listen to your own ears! Seeking advise, recommendations and suggestions from other audiophiles, whether it be from forums like this, or from sales persons at your local high end audio dealers, is just a natural aspect of being an audiophile. We've all done it, at some p... | |
| Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old… @toddcowles All you can do is the old "Trial and Error" in your system, because everything effects everything. You have to figure out what's causing the brightness in your system by, I think, first, switching out your cabling. I personally belie... | |
| Ethernet cables There's literally an ocean of different ethernet cables out there, at various price points. And, if you ask what peoples opinions and preferences are in ethernet cables on a forum like this, you're subject to get a thousand different answers. Ho... | |
| Help with XLR ICs. @tattooedtrackman I’m happy that the Pegasus interconnects have already sold (they sold very quickly). Also, I don’t even think about the ultra expensive cables like Firebird or Dragon, because, for me, they’re so far outside of the realm of affor... | |
| Digital newbie I was in your shoes about four years ago. And, like yourself, it was quite helpful to listen to various suggestions and recommendations from others. There're so very many variables and options available to you when it comes to building a digita... | |
| Help with XLR ICs. Over the past 25 years, I’ve owned several different high end XLR interconnects, from several different manufacturers. About three years ago, I switched from another brand to a pair of Audioquest Earth interconnects, and they were just wonderful f... | |
| Apogee Acoustics repair @mijostyn I love Sound Labs ESLs, as well. In years past, I've also owned Acoustat, Magnepan and Analysis Audio ribbon speakers. Currently, I own Revel Salon 2 speakers, which represents the end of the road for me as far as speakers go. Still, I... | |
| Apogee Acoustics repair I agree with mijostn. If you’re a fan of the ribbon sound, the old Apogee speakers can be very hard to resist. However, it you want to go down that path, expect the worst, just because of they way they were built, their age, and the deterioration ... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Doesn't make any difference to me who the manufacturer is. Great reference caliber SQ is great reference caliber SQ. If Tekton was able to pull it off, then Kudos to Tekton!!! | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal I currently have both Tidal and Qobuz but I do prefer Tidal over Qobuz. For me, Tidal just seems to be more user friendly and also provides the user with more music selection options than Qobuz. There’s no noticeable difference in SQ between the t... |
