| Classe CA300 vs. Classe CA2200? HI Mitchb - could you elaborate a bit on your Classe reliability issues? | |
| Cary integrated vs. Rogue Cronus Magnum Dynaudio's need some current to make them sound there best - I would recommend SS for them - but if you want tubes, then Rogue may be the way to go.I also have S6e's and auditioned the SLI80 and the Cayin A88T. I thought the Cary was better in jus... | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? This thread is too funny - women for the most part do not care at all and really think it is a waste of money.When you are initially dating , they may think it is cool (or so they say) that all changes once you make the commitment - in most cases.... | |
| Which cost more: your system or your car? This IMO :o) should be rephrased. Generally on a car purchase it is a one time buy (or say 5K down and a 4-5 year loan to pay it off). Say you spend 25K on a Honda Accord - just saying. The question should be has anyone purchased a component, one ... | |
| Transparent cables with Thiel speakers I have heard Transparent with Wilsons and Ayre electronics at a dealer - in context with the system everything sounded great. The problem I have with Transparent is the cost/value. Another dealer in my area told me that they had went to a clients ... | |
| Valhalla vs. Audience AU 24 Hi Kurt tank - Very much understood if you are basing this on the used price. But the huge difference in price (new) should not be ignored when saying is this cable a better bang for you dollar.I have the Au24's throughout my system and did upgrad... | |
| Valhalla vs. Audience AU 24 There is a huge price difference between the Au24 and Nordost Vallhala. At this point you would have to compare the Au24e to the Valhalla.Au24 - $1,400Au24e- $1,700Valhalla - $8,500In any event IMHO...If it was me and I had 8K to spend on an upgra... | |
| Upgrading audience power chord to version "e" I just had my Au24 Interconnects upgraded to E, and my impression of the upgrade mirrors what Artmaltman states on the Power Chord upgrade. I was very skeptical of the upgrade but for $200.00, I figured it could not hurt in comparison with spendin... | |
| Audio Research LS-16 Mk2 vs LS-17 preamp Hello-Just as a further note.You could go to the arcdb site and take a look at the pictures of the internal layout. It is different, not to mention the LS-16 has balanced inputs and outputs. | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line Hi Pubul57 - Interesting, you could be right. I would venture to guess though regarding trickle down, you'll see a stereo amp with a real world "trickle down" price of a $19,995.00.Still more then twice the price of a Pass X250.5 or a even a Class... | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line 42K? Wow..for an opening product for a new company in this economy. I guess I am missing something here. I just wonder if this Amp will be a huge upgrade in performance over say an ~10K Pass labs X250.5 or SimAudio Evolution W-8? | |
| Sound cuts out occasionally in my system If you have a dealer that you have a good relationship with they could lend you some gear to help troubleshoot.Do you get any static (or light crackle) before the music cuts out or is just an immediate dropout in both channels at once? | |
| PrimaLuna dialogue 2 or Caryaudio SLI80 4ML Summit Hello Johchew38 -So, I have auditioned The cary SLP-80 in my system (Spendor S6e speakers, Arcam CD36 player) and it was excellent. Problem was it was a bit too lush for me - not enough bass/oomph playing rock for me to pull the trigger and buy. N... | |
| Integrated tube amp for 91db open baffle speakers I auditioned both the Cary SLI-80 and the Cayin A88T.System - Spendor S6E, Classe CA-101 amp, Quicksilver Remote PReamp, Arcam CD-36 player and all Audience au24 cabling.Cary had more flesh on the bones, more detail, bigger soundstage and to me wa... | |
| Tube amp for Spendor S3/5 SE I just auditioned the A88T and I have Spendor S6e's. No problem driving them at all to realistic sound levels - noting that I did not listen in Triode (22w) much at all as I felt the sound was thin and light for my taste.I did not end up purchasin... |
