| Who remembers California Audio Labs? I remember - had CAL-15 cd player for many years. It was an excellent sounding player - resolving, with deep bass and non-fatuquing sound. I upgraded it to Sony 5400ES super audio player and cannot state that Sony sounded better with red book CD... | |
| KEF LS60 WIRELESS + KC62 SUB OR HEGEL H390/KEF R7 META + KC62 SUB? @mrbanker32 , Concidering 50 times price difference between two systems, yes - I can live with LS60-based one. It does NOTHING wrong - for sure, it doesn't throw such an enormous and deep sounstage, nor such an explosive dynamics (well, Parasoun... | |
| KEF LS60 WIRELESS + KC62 SUB OR HEGEL H390/KEF R7 META + KC62 SUB? I have LS60 + two KC62 subs, Marantz SA-10 SACD player, Manley Chinook phonostage, Yamaha PF-800 turntable with upgraded Analysis Plus Silver Apex cabling in my secondary system. My primary has Revel Salon Ultima 2, Parasound JC2+ monoblocks, McI... | |
| Sonus Faber Question @jdm11 , Stillpoints Aperture II panels are on expensive side but you need just a few of them instead of covering most of the walls and ceilings with cheaper and uglier diffusers and absorbers. At the end you are not spending more because you'll ... | |
| Sonus Faber Question @jdm11, Try 3 Steelpoints Aperture II panels - two on the first left/right side reflection points and one between speakers. I decided to give them a try in my similarly sized room (19 x14) - just out of curiosity and 60 days return policy. Worke... | |
| Sonus Faber Question In like new condition with the stands - $10 - 14K. I listen primarily for jazz, classical (including orchestral works), some progressive rock - never really feel need for sub in the medium sized room (14' x 19'). Guarneri EVOs go down to 40Hz, so... | |
| Sonus Faber Question Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution used - with Prima Luna it will be an excellent setup and a big jump from Olympica. I've got a very good deal on Revel Ultima Salon 2, which is a fabulous full range speaker, but keep my Guarneries still - cannot par... | |
| Replacement Sonus Faber grille strings? Spoke to FineSounds America - phone # (510)843-4500 yesterday regarding replacement grill strings for my Guarneri EVO. They asked to provide speakers serial number to verify the exact model and ordered the string kit part number KIM110001 free of ... | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD I do have Mcintosh MEN220 and it did a magic in my room. I have McIntosh C1100, McIntosh 452, SME 20/3 and Manley Steelhead phono - was initially reluctant to insert AD-DA into my pure analog setup - boy, was I wrong! Speakers are Sonus Faber Gua... | |
| Is There Any Reason To Buy A Reel-To-Reel Machine Nowadays?? I have mint Tandberg TD20A SE aligned by SoundSmith and collection of about 300 factory pre-recorded 71/2ips tapes - mostly classical, from 1958 to 70s.The machine is fun to look at and use. On well recorded tapes (mostly from pre - high speed dub... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... It depends. I've experienced quite a few tube and solid state A/AB class amps which were boring or plain unlustenable. I use class D NAD C688 integrated for my patio B&W AM-1 speakers and the sound is decent enough for me to live with this amp... | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! That's not normal. I'd requested an exchange/return. Rather than live with defective turntable (and being pissed off every time while putting record on the platter) I'd wait for 2 months. | |
| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary I believe Nagaoka cartridge is available in Europe only - based on the press release | |
| KEF LS50W who has them? Hi! I have LS50W for 2 months now - got them for the bedroom system. Mostly use them with Roon/Tidal. My primary setup: Mcintosh pre C2500/MC452 power amp and MEN220 + JL Audio Fathom F112 sub. Turntable - VIP SSM with him drive, SDS speed control... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify I use Tidal with Roon software installed on MacMini which is connected via USB to Marantz NA11S DAC/network player.The integration is flawless and sound quality is really like CD one. |
