| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Final thought: One is fairly good hifi, for hifi folks, it will be a stepping stone for you after you tire of them. The other is a classic, something for music lovers, something folks often keep for decades, something that affords you the opportun... | |
| Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p? "Kiddman, I fully agree with what you are saying. Very silly and unimaginative marketing."Thanks, but this is not what Wilson says (they never say the old one was bad). It is what enthusiasts and press say: the old ones are fantastic, no faults me... | |
| Alexia vs Salon 2 Alexia more dynamic. More "in your face". Salon 2 more pure but less apparent "hit you over the head" dynamics. | |
| Anyone going to the NY Audio show today to Sunday I find it interesting that although Coincident is a small company and does not have dealers he is mentioned a few times at every show he attends! Obviously he knows something about sound. | |
| Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p? "I think that the biggest problem for Wilson is that people bash Sasha based on their previous experiences with earlier generations of Wilson speakers. Sasha sounds VERY different to all earlier W/P models"-----------------------------------------... | |
| Why not horns? The above reference to Art Dudley's article on sucky bass is a valuable post referencing one of the great articles that I have read on the state of speakers as well as the psychology of audiophiles and their speaker choices (that has led to some t... | |
| How good does a TT have to be for a good cartridge The guys defending the 10x5 are right, it is better than the negative comments would have you believe. The guys saying get a better tonearm are also right. The tonearm is extremely important, maybe more important than the turntable or cartridge (a... | |
| Moving from CD to analog You obviously agree with Rockport's take on sound. Why not ask him? He's been in high end a long time, he built turntables, and he certainly would want you to get the best sound possible from his speakers. | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge "IMHO any manufacturer who is "beta" testing on the public has no right to be in business"I would agree, but what you don't know is how many of the supposed "great names" essentially do this exact thing! Little scientific testing, designs by guys ... | |
| Revel Performa 3 It's hard to believe that they cost the same, but then when you compare the Revels to most speakers 2 or 3 times their it's hard to believe that are not LOWER in price than the Revels. A bargain in sound, build quality, engineering, they just don'... | |
| Is the V.P.I. Traveler made in China It would be very hard for anyone to know unless they saw boxes full of all parts coming from a local machine shop. While I don't think VPI is top of the heap in precision and while I cannot understand how this product is so cheap, this is not any ... | |
| Revel Performa 3 The Usher is a respectable, honest speaker. However, musicality (which to me means real-sounding tonal balance and low distortion) is better on the Revels and mid-range dynamics are really good for a non-horn speaker. I would take the Revel any da... | |
| Speaker Choice Rather have those JBL classics than the thiels. They have some "soul". | |
| Zyx vs. Van Den Hul ZYX sounds more like music. It does not sound like the old Monster even though it is made by the same company. Natural, fun, balanced. VDH more etched (and that's not intended to be a positive), more unit to unit variation, fragile. I sell neither... | |
