| Hypex Ncore NC1200 Amps at NY Audio Show in April I thought the Mola Mola's driving Vivid Giya's in Philip O'Hanlon's room had bass that seemed to slightly overpower the room. (One review of Vivid implied they didn't extend very low, which was not the case with this model.) Some room treatments a... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? The Kaiser Kawero Classic is now the best speaker I have heard. I thought they sounded better than anything else at the New York Audio Show this year, much better than the top of the line TAD, Coincident, KEF, GamuT, or Raidho. I could listen to t... | |
| Power Cable for PSA Perfectwave MK2 I use the Mojo Audio Enigma on mine...which I found to improve bass and dynamics. The Triode Wire Labs cords are also quite good. | |
| Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K Does anyone have any thoughts on the Wilson Sophia 3's? I spoke to a local dealer who recommended them. He claimed that they are warm, forgiving, and not finicky when it comes to placement (contrary to Wilson's reputation). | |
| Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K Soix, thanks for the feedback. The Sehrings are very good in many respects, but you are right, they don't move much air. Your comment makes Joseph Audio seem look a good speaker to audition. Knghifi, why have you eliminated the AZ Crescendo from f... | |
| Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K Thanks for the recommendations folks. Professional reviews and show impressions seem uniformly positive for the Crescendos, which is why they are on my list. (The dealer also carries Marten Djangos, which he seemed to recommend equally.) I also ha... | |
| Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K Thanks for the recommendations so far. Almarg, let me see if I understand your last point: If my ears are 2 feet from the wall behind me, I won't hear frequencies around 141 Hz (281.5/2)? | |
| Found Speaker After 6 Yrs,Bought & Lost In Minutes Sounds like the seller broke the rules. If he had accepted another offer in the Audiogon system, the ad would have disappeared immediately. I know this from recent experience. If the ad was still up, then he had not reached a binding agreement to ... | |
| Vapor Cirrus Black vs dc10 Berlin Studio Monitor Two admins over at Audiocircle posted pretty extensive impressions of RMAF this year. Both rated the Vapor Audio very highly, saying it was among the best at the show. They did not mention the DC10 room, so my guess is that they did not visit it. ... | |
| Best Power Cord for a Classe CA 2300 What happened to the "old" Audiogon, where moderators censored these boards to make sure everyone was fairly cordial? Audiogon is now giving Audioasylum and Head-Fi a run for the money...In any case, my recommendation is to demo some power cords e... | |
| Clear Day double shot-gun vs. black orpheous NOLA The Clear Day Double Shotguns are great speaker cables. I replaced an $1100 set of Gabriel Golds with Clear Day Double Shotguns, which are better in all respects. In any case, Clear Day offers a free demo and the owner Paul Laudati is a truly nice... | |
| Newly Modded KWA 150 to SE Charles1dad, No, my comment is not based on brand name. I am not trying to start a debate. I am sure the Mdwright sounds good. I just take issue with the idea that any amp that sells for $9,000 is a "killer bargain". A car that cost that much migh... | |
| Newly Modded KWA 150 to SE A $9000 150 watt solid state amp is a killer bargain? That seems overpriced to me compared to Pass Labs or Ayre, for example. | |
| What is the best sounding DAC at $2000-$4000? Not many people have heard many DACs in the $2-4K range, with the possible exception of a few dealers. There is a thread on Audionervosa that describes a shoutout at a regional meet of DACs in the $3-5K range, including the Perfect Wave (not sure ... | |
| Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000 I replaced $1100 speaker cables from Gabriel Gold with Clear Day Double Shotguns for $400. The Clear Days are far better. Very "musical" with really good dynamics, detail, and bass. Clear Day offers a no-hassle free trial, so there is nothing to l... |
