| Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30? OP, those three speakers listed, you can't go wrong. Do yourself a favor, and throw another manufacturer in the hat, and that would be Von Schweikert. The Ultra 55 and higher models are just astounding and worthy of a listen compared to your exi... | |
| Not manufactured any more. Man, I love this website. These are some cool pictures. | |
| More expensive = better? Equipment from Schiit Audio and some DACs from Denafrips have my interest piqued. I read that in general, both brand punch above their weight class, so to speak. I’m particularly interested in that Schiit “Yaggy” DAC. I’ve read some nice things... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA The 6C33C-B tube, when someone includes an amp using this bottle, THEN you will have my undivided attention, hah. Sorry all, I’m just a parrot! :) | |
| How much gear do you own? Personally, I think I’m on the verge of having too much gear. I have two tube monoblock amps (4 pcs) that I always wanted, two solid state amps (1 stereo, 1 pr monos), a single CD spinner, and a single preamp. I have two speaker pairs. I enjoy ... | |
| How to tame a bright system? Chord Etude amp? Dump that. George Meyer AV located in Los Angeles area, who is an authorized repair center for Levinson and Krell, and other top notch brands is selling a killer Mark Levinson ML-27.5 amp that's been fully gone through - meaning... | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? Bad Hippie on is onto something here about being being happy with what you have. About being content with what you have, I'll segue into this with this: I seem to remember Sinead O'Conner had something titled "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got." ... | |
| Best light weight full range speaker recommendation. Full range AND light weight? That's like saying Jewish space lasers started the terrible fires in Paradise, CA in the not so distant past... Ya just can't have it. Onto something more positive, a particular speaker that is small in stature that... | |
| Great song to test bass If you want to test bass, Erykah Badu's first album, Baduizm, will shake the glazing panels out of the frames, with the right system of course... :). Now that is just big bass from a machine, but if you're looking for something more musical, th... | |
| How do you enhance a bad listening room's accoustics without breaking the bank? thoughts? Ahhhh, the room. The room is always the 3rd enclosure or something like that. If you have a small room, you need bookshelf speakers. Big honkin speakers in a small space isn't gonna work. To put it another way, years ago, I had a buddy with an... | |
| Audiophile virtues In the beginning of my music listening quest, I'd look for equipment that would produce music in the quality where I can clearly hear a guitar string plucked, then wonder who made that string. While I still like that sort of anylytical listening,... | |
| Advice needed re: new CD player purchase A good Red book CD spinner, I was in this buying conundrum a while ago; I thought about a Krell Cipher, of which there is one for sale at US Audio Mart, but decided against it because it uses a proprietary CAST cable to perform best. Next, Esoter... | |
| Budget High Current Power Cords I'll throw my selection in the hat...Parts Connexion, or the old Sonic Frontiers as it was called back in the day. They make a cord that seems good - now, it's NOT Nordost Odin or Valhalla good, but for price they sold it to me for, yeah, it's go... | |
| Looking for Speaker Input Focal Sopras: twin 8 inch woofers; I'm guessing deep bass performance is your issue, as this speaker I'm guessing plays flat down to the low to mid 40-ish hz range or so. It might play deeper but at -3 dB or more; that's probably adequate for mos... | |
| Aged components / service!? For front ends, here in Cali, a well known outfit is George Meyer AV in the Los Angeles area; I seem to recall they are an authorized Mark Levinson, and Krell repair center. As for other service centers, a good reference is on the V-Cap website, ... |
